The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro look impressive, but a lack of updates to audio quality is seriously frustrating.
The Pixel 8 is here, and I'm convinced Google doesn't care about sound quality : Read more
Not too sure if you've followed any of the release stuff... at all? Or just use apple junk?
Screen/Video
- Massive screen boost in brightness, with the pixel 8 pro now having one of the brightest screens... ever.
- Non pro Pixel 8 finally got 120hz.
- Ultra HDR added
Audio
- No headphone jack, sucks, but the amount that have this is minimal these days.
- AI improvements to phone calls and new pixel buds. Can pretty much eliminate background noise in calls. Pretty good IMO, better than some random 3db of SNR or something on a DAC which is beyond human hearing.
- Editing audio clips to eliminate background noise.
These are all pretty revolutionary improvements, non which seem to be mentioned in the article. Is the phone perfect? Far from it, but it commands respect where deserved.
