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?

Pixel 5 here:

  • 20-30% more battery life than the P5 when it was new (my P5 battery life is still very good like 90%-95% of when it was new). But I don't want to have the excellent battery life I had in 2020. I want something better.
  • Lower price than the P8 (so I'll wait for a discount if I upgrade to that one).
  • Better ambient light sensor in low light. Not the crap we have in the P5.

The rest (more years of updates. Than just 3 years) is already confirmed. A smaller size would be nicer. But the P8 size seems good.

In general I like the P8. But I'm still enjoying the P5 so I'm not hurried.
