Be really interested in hearing about the battery life in the Pixel 8.
Ah, new phone time... Time to force myself to remember to take any reviews of battery life with a grain of salt for the first couple of weeks, during which battery life is, for Pixels, typically poorer than it becomes later, due to additional processor and network utilization in initial setup, download, configuration of apps, etc. Also, that Pixels self-optimize efficiency after a few weeks.

As my P7 Pro was more than sufficient for my personal daily battery needs, I'm pretty comfortable that the P8 Pro should be at least as good (while the brighter display being used in sunlight will surely drain it a bit faster, I expect that the efficiency of the new SOC should easily recover that amount in general savings.

Well I went ahead and made a purchase today. So goes waiting on all those battery reviews. You are right, it does take some time for the battery life to settle down and show some consistency. My 7 gets about 5 hours SOT which is enough for me. That brighter display hooked me!!

My watch just showed up and it was not sealed. :mad:
Granted the watch looks like it's unused but that kind of pisses me off especially since I was planning on selling it.

How's the official Google case?
I like it. The inside has a clothe like material which will help keep everything cleaner I think. The curve around the camera is more gradual too. The case feels slicker than the one on my 6p, but that could be just because it's brand new.
