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?

Do you use a screen protector? My 7's has been significantly better than my 6's

It may be better than a 6, but it's terrible compared to a 5.

Glad I'm not the only one that loved my Pixel 5!

Still sucks compared to a normal fingerprint reader. My S10 would work almost under any condition. My Pixel 7 will consistently fail 40-50% of the times. I end up typing the PIN more often then not.
