How's the Pixel 8/Pixel 8 Pro treating you?

Using Pixel 8 Pro for a week now.

Comparing to Pixel 7 Pro:

• Battery life has improved, now can sometimes squeeze 2 days of use.
• Camera is better in some modes and in the dark. Selfie camera feels much better.
• Performance is the same, but never gets hot or even warm.
• screen is completely flat now, corners rounded more.

Overall, no Bugs encountered so far,very smooth experience.

It's my first Pixel, I switched from a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G, and there have been some transition aches. I ran into the Android Auto issue this week where the phone would connect to my car for a few seconds then disconnect for a minute repeatedly, and I miss Smart Lock options like keeping my phone unlocked while on home Wi-Fi or while connected to a trusted device. Any Pixel vets know of a similar function on the device? (Edit: Found it! They changed the feature name to Extend Unlock and hid it in the privacy settings.)

Echoing another comment, the phone runs very cool and the camera is excellent. The battery lasts about as long as the Note 20 Ultra's under heavy use: if I'm running ReVanced or Twitch all day, it needs a charge around dinner time. I haven't yet adjusted to using the assistant (never touched Bixby on the old phone, either) so I can't speak to all the AI features added in.

Overall, felt some buyer's remorse early on, but I think I'll come to appreciate the Pixel 8 Pro as I get used to it and optimize it for my usage.

I'm curious about your "runs cool" comment. Have you tested while charging on 35w and watching a movie?

Have you tried it in direct sunlight while charging? Does it overheat while using Bluetooth and WiFi with the screen off and charging?

Does the phone auto shut down due to heat for any reason?

Edith- truly not trying to be nasty. I want to believe... just have my doubts and this P6P needs to be gone like yesterday.
