Google Pixel 8/8 Pro & Pixel Watch 2

Just night mode. Held still.

And this one shot in a moving taxi abroad. Most other phones would be a blurry mess...

Mega dark environment.. Crisp and clean below

Thanks, so night mode is on in all 3 pics you've posted?

If I take a pic in night mode and there is anything moving like my kids for example they look spirits so how you achieved that moving shot with night mode on in the taxi seems completely different to my experience with my phone

How are you linking pics so I can maybe post some examples?

 

[kona786]

Night mode not on the moving pic that's for sure... as that would be blurry with a long shutter speed.

And no night mode On the watch pic either.

Ok thanks, I'm going to mess around some more just to rule out it being me that's the problem but I'm fairly sure it's the phone, just the comparison with the A55 is enough to make me believe there is an issue. I've checked and have until the 13th to return it so have time to mess around some more.

I'm posting using Imgur app.

Just ensure your lenses and focus sensor are always clean before snapping.

A 2.65 GB update today, updating me to Android 15 - but I already have Android 15 installed.

Hmm, after seeing your post, went to software updates and I also an update, however mine is for 36.67MB. I also have Android 15 installed.

I don't know why the update was so large for my Pixel 8 then. It's not as though I skip the updates as soon as they arrive either. I'm still on Android 15, just the build number has incremented to AP3A.241105.007.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

36.81MB update here, too.

 

[Buckster]

still finding battery life more than acceptable

4-4.5 hrs SOT with about 30 hours of "usage" - listening to radio etc

and with more focus on SOT about 6.5 hours of SOT over 24 hours of usage including radio etc

fine by me and much better than expected

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Is that a magsafe charger or just a mount?

 

[kona786]

Just a mount. Magsafe version has a permanent cable which was silly.

EE seem to be offloading 8a from £229 with A Buds via various means, EE customers, students, BLC

My P8 had a pink line down the screen maybe an inch from the right hand side. Looks like quite a common fault.

Just replaced the Mrs pixel 6 with an 8 pro. The current Google deal including trade in was £385. Not too bad.

 

[michty_me]

I just looked at trade in of my P8 for a P9, £250 was what was offered. Pretty crap considering I got £170 for a P5 when I upgraded.

I checked end of last week and my offer was over £500 on P9 Pro.

Now gone down to £271 for the same phone. So much for BF.

That's crazy, I'm guessing the trade in value will go up after BF is finished?
Only reason I was looking was that after a bit of research into my random pink line issue, some P8 users are on their 3rd/4th device with the issue coming back each time.

Am trying to purchase a pixel 8A on the Google store but when I get to check out the price has gone up back up to £499 well it should be £369

Is anyone else getting this error?
