I have a Pixel 7 Pro, but for me it's a few things.

  • Improved modem
  • Increased battery life
  • Better thermals
  • SoC upgrade to 3nm process
  • Improved camera
  • Good deal or free stuff (e.g. free Pixel Watch 2, high Pixel 7 Pro trade in value)

What phone do you have and why might you want to upgrade to the Pixel 8?

I never buy phones new anymore unless there's a huge price drop or good deal involved. I'll most likely pick up an refurbished or preowned 8 when the 9 and 9a come out, to save on costs. Assuming there's nothing horribly wrong with the hardware, that is.
