Looks like Google switch from FedEx to UPS this year and seems like the eight pro will be here on Wednesday
So, has anyone actually gotten one in their hands yet? Any good reviews that you can recommend?
So I went with the 8 pro 256GB. Got it through my job for $200, NO trade-in. I can sell my 7 Pro 128GB for more or similar amount than the 8 Pro costs. Win-win.
I hope the 8 Pro's macro-zoom is at least as good as it was/is on the 7 Pro.
I also heard it has macro video now. or is it the Android 14 implemented it on the 7 Pro. I forget. Anywho, I just tested macro zoom video and the 7 pro has it as well. Since my "lost return device" samsung fiasco last year where I swore of samsung phone and got the Pixel 7 Pro for my work phone and fell in love with it I swore I would get the 8 Pro for personal use. Glad I made that decision.It's actually improved. The wide angle sensor for the macro is a solid upgrade over the 7pro, plus I think minimum focusing distance was improved sligthly
Dunno as I went from a 5 to a 7 Pro. I love the macro capabilities on the 7 Pro. Can't wait for my 8 Pro.Did macro ever come to the 6 pro? I never tried it if it did but pretty interested to try it on the 8 pro. Even for work it would be great to close up shots of components on a PCBA. My order has been on "Prepared to ship" for a couple days now, would be nice if they'd just ship it when it's ready instead of waiting for some release date.

Yea, saw some really good ones showing the AI camera stuff. pretty impressive. Hopefully mine should be in tomorrow.The sanction on reviews dropped earlier today. Reviews up all over the web. Seems like they had 6 days with the phone or so, unless some got more.
I miss how my lg g7 sounded. It was great for a phone. Very good sound. I don't know why phones don't focus on this anymore.Verge says the pro speakers are finally good after 2 crappy years with the 6 and 7. This was an audio guy, he did not have the regular 8
Guess I won’t be getting my phone today, just noticed it’s being shipped to an old address that I lived at 8-9 years ago. No idea how this shit happens when I’ve ordered stuff from my current address from google quite a few times.
And sure enough my order was successfully delivered to the wrong address just like I told the support guy it would be, can’t believe how bad support is nowadays. I called support again and they said I have to wait 24 hours to escalate it, they actually suggested I go there and try to get the package myself, doubt it will work but I might actually call and see since I live like 10 minutes away.
Yeah I was able to pick up my stuff, it was delivered to the office at my old apartment complex and they were surprisingly lax about it, didn't even ask for an ID or anything. Gonna set it up this afternoon as I'm wfh, hopefully transferring from an iphone works pretty well nowadays.Currently the 8 pro is copying data from the 7 pro, all done via Wifi. Decided to keep the pixel watch. Once the phone is set up, will then pair the watch and buds. I do have to say the matte finish feels much better in the hand than the gloss, but the flat screen is where it's at.
I did that with an Etsy package I shipped to an old address. They were cool about it.
