Who's rocking the 8 Pro?
Who's rocking the 8 Pro?
I normally don't upgrade to the next series, but with trade-in,and pixel watch 2 deal I decided why not
While I didn't particularly love the curved P7P screen it did give you more desktop real estate. The 8s screen feels a tad squished in. Everything on screen is a bit smaller. I don't hate that but it's a surprise.
I just got my Peak Design case so I can use my PD mounts (motorcycle primarily). The case seems decent however, much like my opinion of the P7P case, I think it could use slightly more lip to protect the screen and camera bump. The screen lip is probably fine if you don't run a glass screen protector, adding that thickness really reduces the lip.
Otherwise, I have only really spent time setting it up, not much time using it yet :).

Would love to hear what people think about signal strength. I have struggled with it on a family of 6 pros.
I bit the bullet over the weekend and ordered to take advantage of the free watch offer. I have some time to cancel since delivery isn't scheduled until near the end of November.
Mine seems very similar toy 7pro. I can't remember if that was better or worse than my 5. But I'd say at least "normal" for the last couple pixels I've had.
Here's my experience. I had the last 3 Pros (6, 7 and now 8).
Signal was utter crap on the 6. I fought with the modem for MONTHS, kind of forced to stay on the beta channel just to get as many modem firmware updates as early as possible.
Even when the situation finally got a bit more stable, there were still occasional drops in signal strength and overall worse signal than other devices.
That's also one of the reasons I got the 7 Pro. It's been smooth sailing since then, no complaints whatsoever. The 8 Pro is performing equally well.
my day-to-day regularly has 1-2 bars of signal. My P6 Pro would sometimes only get 0.1-3 mbps. My 8 Pro is getting 150 mbps down in the same location. Also, it doesn't heat up as much and the battery life is way better.
