Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.
Exceptionally smart with a great telephoto camera, software and battery life, but held back by weak video, thermals and unfinished features, so buying now is a gamble.

Watch this bit
Why it's on these shelves
- Camera nerd
“the pixel 8 and 8 Pros cameras need quite a bit of work”
▶ 8:43 - Battery hero
“7 to 8 hours of screen on time has been a pretty normal thing for me to reach”
▶ 20:34 - Built to last
“7 years of updates means that anyone who then buys the phone in the secondhand Market could still keep up to date”
▶ 6:48
