I have a Pixel 7 Pro, but for me it's a few things.

  • Improved modem
  • Increased battery life
  • Better thermals
  • SoC upgrade to 3nm process
  • Improved camera
  • Good deal or free stuff (e.g. free Pixel Watch 2, high Pixel 7 Pro trade in value)

What phone do you have and why might you want to upgrade to the Pixel 8?

Pixel 7a here. I'm going to keep it either until it breaks or until the guaranteed updates stop, whichever comes first. So if I'm lucky and this lasts until 2028 I don't think the new phone I'd buy is going to be a Pixel 8 😁 but it will likely be another Pixel.

I do hope that in a few years Pixels will have replaceable batteries (especially as the EU is requiring smartphones to have replaceable batteries by 2027), that will make me stick even longer with them!
