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 8 will (if I decide to buy it, that is) probably be my last Pixel. The battery on my Pixel 6a is garbage, especially on LTE. I'm really hoping the 8 will have improved battery life since no other phone suits my taste like the Pixel does.

I can tell you firsthand that my Pixel 6 Pro was my least favorite phone, the battery and modem weren't great. The 7 Pro already has significant improvements over the 6.

Can almost guarantee you that at least in the battery department, the Pixel 8 should be much better, as long as they switched to the 3nm process for their Tensor 3.
