Hi Pixel 8 and 8 pro users, how has your experience with the new line of phones been so far? I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don’t intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last device? Most importantly are you still enjoying it?
Is the fingerprint sensor any better? I find the fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6 leaves much to be desired.
Had Oneplus 7T Pro for 4 years and did a Pixel 8 Pro upgrade, the fingerprint sensor is really bad for a phone that cost this much.
I’ve got a Pixel 6 Pro and I hate the fingerprint sensor. Most of the time it just straight-up doesn’t work. My last phone (a Xiaomi) had it on the side and an old Moto (I think) had it on the back and both were far superior, not just technology-wise but also comfort.
It’s not miles better than the P6, but it does feel more consistent. Also face unlock makes it a mute point most of the time anyway.
Face unlock is finicky though. You have to be pretty close and it doesn’t work in dim lighting. It also is slower sometimes than just using the FP scanner.
IDK, it’s nice to have, but it’s not great.
*moot point, just fyi
Definitely not any better in my experience, although I do think there is some luck involved in how well it captures your fingerprint when you’re setting it up.
