Maybe this is why people buy iPhones-so they never have to read stuff like that. LolReddit already loosing its mind over the poor CPU performance of the G3.

Awful.

Awful.
Given the 6 Pro still feels fast and smooth and now cooler to use thanks to the recent update... I really couldn't care less about peak performance as that is not the reason to buy a Pixel. The hardware is good enough to make the software shine.
And the geniuses on reddit fail to mention the pixel 8 is running at a much higher peak brightness thus generating more heat.
And with that said the Pixel 8 Pro will perform faster than a 6 Pro in real terms.
You can have all the compute power you like but it's the useful features that make the phone a good tool.

Anyone know when the wallpaper ai feature will be available? It's an android 14 feature but can't find it on my p5 now I'm on 14. Perhaps a P8 first feature?
Lol - thanks. I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon early! I normally wait until the item is in hand, but thought I may as well take advantage of the 80% off eBay fees this weekend!
Should mean I get around £210 for the watch after fees/postage etc, which seems reasonable to me. There's quite a few listed at much higher prices, but preferred a quick sale for peace of mind...
Agreed. Quick sale and less faff wins over an extra few quid.

I think I read it’s a Pixel 8 feature.

well that's the Mrs Christmas present sorted. Her current phone is years old 
Regular Pixel 8 from Very with the 10% discount. Hopefully can get £100 maybe for the pixel buds

I'm going with the Anker Nano II, prime week Tuesday and Wednesday so may pick one up a little cheaper.

You can try out one of the best Pixel 8 features now
This might spell the end for third-party wallpaper apps, but try at your own risk.

Looks like you can get it now if you manually install the needed apk

Just be careful with buying a stand for the watch. The pixel watch 2 doesn't seem to have wireless charging any more
It's £27 just now. Need to check my chargers and see if they'll do 30W, if not I might pick one of those up.
Still undecided on a case, would prefer something that works with a magnet but all very expensive.

I have that one and it's good.
