Jealousy? Apple-apologists? Who knows ☺️
Yeah very likely!!
Probably because we have a mega thread for this
Yup it'd also be preferable to move to the megathread, that will avoid the cases I listed in my other comment (new comments won't land on c/all unless one chooses to look at instance comments).

Hater most likely. Like IGAF haha. I'm excited for the new phone!! 😁😁
New threads appear on c/all for those who sort by New, and just like in life in general there are people who hate those who can afford expensive things, could also be fanboys of other brands or people going through rough times and seeing you flash a $1000 purchase in front of them (except you're not the one who's flashing it in front of them, it's them who chose to see it alongside many other things they will also not like as they chose to browse c/all).
The downvoting is obviously immature and you can ignore it, pretty sure most of them are not from this community.
Enjoy. Hope they fixed the shit they did with the previous ones. Although I'm still happy with my 6pro. 2 weeks prior to warranty-end it went bonkers and a i got a fresh new one 😎 Finally fingerprint does work reliably now, got lucky.
I hope so too. On paper everything seems good. But in reality it could be totally different. I have a P6P currently and personally never experienced the fingerprint issues nor was it less performant than my expectations. The lack of the Face Unlock feature on that phone was a huge let down for me though.
Very happy that it's available on the P8P though and better yet, secure enough to use for financial service provider apps. I'm cautiously optimistic to say the least. 😅
Oh my fingerprint was abysmal outside. Basically non-working. Inside it was okay-ish. But now it's fine at least.
Faceunlock. Couldn't care less. I would love an sdcard again. Those i really miss.
Wouldn't mind about anything actually, as the pixels are the only androids i would buy, even though i despise google. I just want root without hassles and the ability to easily change OS. Everyone else does its best to make their phones NOT yours.
I'm waiting for the reviews. And hoping for a price drop.
I don't anticipate a price drop this year given the pre-order promo.
Just received my Pixel 8
Damn that's awesome! Have fun playing around with the phone man. Hope you like it! I'll be receiving mine tomorrow 😁
