Too expensive for me. No chance I'm paying over 1k for a phone.
128gb isn't enough either.
See what the price on the 8 Pro is like in 6 or so months

They just moved the game on in a big way for group shots.

Yeah, £260 for my Pixel 7. Hard to know whether it's worth it yet.

Google said the main sensor is a new one... with better sensitivity. So possibly GN2

Edit... No still 1/1.31" so just a new aperture of f1.7

agree feels like storage should have gone up, but equally what do you store on a phone these days, most stuff for me is cloud based

I probably would use a phone for 7 years. If for some reason I upgraded earlier it would be handed down to mum, who would have course have no idea about any of this.

For me really nothing other than brief moments when going on holiday i download some Netflix shows and films, and I have a tablet for that any way

That video boost is reminds me of when night sight was first shown on Pixel 2.
