How is everyone enjoying their Pixel 8 experience?

Around the black Friday sales time, I tentatively switched from a Pixel 6 pro to an 8 pro. I was pretty nervous about the switch as my experience with the 6 pro was good but not great (specifically the battery life) and I didn’t want the same to happen with the 8 pro. However, a few months on and I can say that my experience has been outstanding.

I never have to worry about battery life; the screen is bright and amazing; the face unlock is reliable and fast; and, it just feels like a more premium build compared to my 6 pro.

If you made the switch, what’s your experience been like?

(Edit: P.S. I know I asked this question at launch in this sub but I love hearing long-term reviews 😅)

    My experience moving from the 6 pro to the 8 pro wasn’t some sort of magical fantastical generational leap, however it addressed basically every single gripe I had with the 6 pro. The battery is MUCH better. The screen is much better, it’s smoother, and the camera is still fantastic. The screen is also flat, not curved, so screen protectors fit much better. I just wish we still had a hardware fingerprint reader like before the 6 pro. That being said, the camera supporting face unlock is fantastic for my home and work apps.

    Absolutely solid upgrade and I would do it again if I had the chance.
