Let me sum it up for you

Kimovil users believe the Pixel 8 Pro is a very complete high-end phone, highlighting its excellent camera and the pure Android experience. They value its price-quality ratio after depreciation and long-term update support. However, the processor and overheating are points of debate.

  • Excellent cell phone with best photo and video quality

    I caught the Pixel 8 pro from a Netherlands online Store with 256GB disk for 770 EUR only brand new. It is an excellent cell phone with a huge and bright display, a very strong modem (better than any older Pixel phones) and a descent resolution. I use it as daily driver. Best at the Pixel phones are the local features you can use offline like transcripts, picture re-modeling and so forth. The CPU is quite not the best for high resolution games, but for working with the phone it is more than enough powered. There's also no degree I can monitor, it doesn't warm up or slow down in any meaning, even not in heavy load for hours. The very best features are the photos and videos you can take - the quality is quite better than at its predecessor, the Pixel 9 pro I bought 2 years later. All pictures are excellent, even in low light conditions, and the Video stabilizer is as good as my iPhone 15 pro. Owed to it's long update and upgrade cycle, I will use it for years - I sold my Pixel 9 pro a few weeks later because it was a downgrade what the cameras belongs. I think the Pixel 8 pro was a "big throw" of Google - next time, I would only buy the largest disk because of the plenty of videos and pictures you're going to shoot because of the excellent quality. Thank you Google and thank you, store from the Netherlands, for making me happy since three years now with this excellent phone, what survived 6 crashes on stones from 1.70m height without any damage.

    Pros
    • Strong material quality
    • Display
    • Photo quality
    • Video quality
    • Long lasting battery
    • Offline dictation and transcripts
    Cons
    • Bigger disk would be fine (1tb)
    • Could be cheaper;)

  • Don calidad-precio

    Al depreciarse en el último año te llevas un gama alta con todas las letras por un precio mucho menor. La cámara es lo mejor del teléfono, comparable a flagships actuales. El SO es top, aunque me he topado con algún bug visual, por otra parte, la batería dura lo suficiente pero puede tardar bastante en cargar para estándares actuales y aunque, el procesador en el papel es el punto débil del teléfono, nunca me ha dado problemas de rendimiento.

    Pros
    • Cámara
    • Pantalla y diseño
    • SO
    • Actualizaciones (8 años)

  • Its a nice phone for those who don't game.

    The phone is great overall, great screen, excellent camera, amazing audio, excellent build, but the battery could have been better, the phone does heat up sometimes, especially under load, and goes get hot in the sun, great software experience even with beta, it is also sometimes hard to handle single handedly and the charging is slow.

    Pros
    • Phenomenal camera
    • Great screen with minimal bezels
    • Decent battery
    • Great Network connection
    • Very good audio
    • Amazing build quality
    Cons
    • Big size
    • Heats up
    • NOT FOR GAMING
    • Slow charging
    • Glossy sides get scratched up easily
    • Not much physical support in unsupported countries

  • The best pixel yet!

    This is the best phone on the market! Anyone with a pixel knows what it's all about! So far I have had Pixel 5, Pixel 6 Pro and now Pixel 8 Pro 512GB. and I will never buy a phone other than a Pixel again. Buy it and make up your mind that you have the best and learn to use it. This is the Google ecosystem and they are giants! Give it the time it needs and you will never regret your choice! I wish everyone health and longevity! Use your toy with fun!

  • Don't Buy it

    After a couple of weeks of use, I can say with confidence that 8pro is worse than 7pro. disgusting Network Connect with ATT, disgusting processor performance, severe throttling. Do not under any circumstances buy this phone for gaming, it’s easier to throw the money in the trash. On the plus side, the best camera, it really takes the best photos

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
