You ought to check out the dbrand Grip case. Best case I've ever used. The 8 Pro versions are about 2 weeks from shipping. Mine's been pre-ordered for weeks.So my Mous case arrived, it's the bluish / grey color slim thin case.
Looks super cool , this color is great. I have the porcelain 8 Pro. And it's very soft and silky to hold.
But a few things;
-Too smooth feeling and slippery, doesn't offer much grip or stick
-Fingerprint oils seem to appear quickly on the case, but gow away after wiping, but makes me wonder if the case will dirty over time and get dark?
-Button cut outs, not a big fan of the buttons being flush or slightly recessed with the case, it feels odd and not as easily clicked.
So my quick verdict just having the case on tonight, it looks awesome, it's a bit slippery, the cutouts are not my thing, but it's ok. Overall I rate this case a 3 out of 5, but the high price kills it, no way is this a $50+ case.
Full, baby, full!High resolution or Full resolution for you 8 Pro users?
Yes, this is accurate information. Historically look at other Pixel exclusive features from previous generations such as: the Google One VPN or Call Screening, they were/are not globally available. Click each link and you can see where available.Interesting thread on Reddit on the Pixel phones and not having features outside the U.S.
Obviously I don't have these issues as I live in the States. But are these people complaining really onto something?

What a turnaround for Google compared to The Google Pixel 7 Pro's display draws an obscene amount of power
I had that for my Iphone 12 Pro Max. I have the Ghost case for my P8Pro ordered, just waiting for it to be shipped.You ought to check out the dbrand Grip case. Best case I've ever used. The 8 Pro versions are about 2 weeks from shipping. Mine's been pre-ordered for weeks.
If you're just willing to root, you slap on PixelXpert (formerly AOSPMods) and then laugh at how little customization Samsung offers.Can someone reengineer the 8 Pro with the battery and lidar of the Iphone and pen and customization of the Samsung? Then I think its a no brainer. All that said, still think I may go with the 8 Pro. Would be my first Google phone. Still on a Galaxy S10+.
Yes and a weak chip IS a weak chip!
7 year support everyone is touting is a joke. Who under 70 keeps their phones that long?
70+ are still using flip phones.Do the 70+ers not matter? I'll be there someday. My parents are there now - and would keep their phones for 7 years or more if they could. But I'll replace their phones well before that point.
The big benefit of the Pixel 8 Pro to me at the moment is the flat screen. But that benefit may not matter for much longer, if Samsung does release the S24U with the rumored flat screen. The option to root/de-Google the Pixel phones is also nice - but I'm not sure how much I still care about that.

it's the animations. The phone is not stuttering.Back to that article about jank or stutters? I actually do see a very little bit of this, but mostly when unlocking the phone, when the AOD black screen lights up the wallpaper to show the full clock and it's about to unlock the phone, right there that black transition to the colored wallpaper and the clock changing from white in the AOD, to then the color clock, I do see some minor miscrostutters for a split second.
And just sometimes, very rarely, when closing an app and opening another, I might see super split second stutter.
My Wife still hasn't taken the smaller Pixel 8 yet, so I still play with it, and have it setup almsot identically to my 8 Pro, and the smaller 8 does not show that AOD lock screen to fade into unlocking, that minor jank I get on the 8 Pro is not there at all on the 8.
Now this is not a deal breaker or making me change my opinion on the Pixel 8 Pro whatsoever, I LOVE this phone, and know that in a patch or two this will get ironed out. But honest thoughts are, the smaller Pixel 8 just seems ever so slightly smoother for some odd reason, it's barely noticeable, the difference, but swiping through apps, opening and closing them, go into settings, and exit and fade out, etc... the Pixel 8 is just a tad smoother and more fluid than the 8 Pro, from what I see.
