  • My experience moving from the 6 pro to the 8 pro wasn’t some sort of magical fantastical generational leap, however it addressed basically every single gripe I had with the 6 pro. The battery is MUCH better. The screen is much better, it’s smoother, and the camera is still fantastic. The screen is also flat, not curved, so screen protectors fit much better. I just wish we still had a hardware fingerprint reader like before the 6 pro. That being said, the camera supporting face unlock is fantastic for my home and work apps.

    Absolutely solid upgrade and I would do it again if I had the chance.




  • Mine took about 15-20 minutes each, just because I was trying to be really careful. There are great kits with hall effect sensors you can get on Amazon, and great videos to watch (also read through comments to learn from people’s mistakes.)

    The biggest thing to watch for is the three point screws on the outside case, they strip easily. My kit came with replacement screws FYI.

    I used a toothpick to help me lift the locks/stays for the ribbon cables, and to gently ensure they were seated.








  • Eh, they seem fine, maybe an improvement in bass response over my pixel 6 pro. They aren’t knock-your-socks-off better, but they’re decent. Pixel 6 pro had decent ones also, so definitely a bit of an improvement.

    Edit - just tried them in Netflix vs YouTube which is what I tested prior to replying to you. Netflix is MUCH louder than YouTube for some reason. Definitely louder and more dynamic range than the 6 pro.


  • Lol, both my wife’s and my p8p delivered today, both had signature required. I was working on laundry and heard my doorbell ring. By the time I got to the front door and opened it, the fedex driver was already on his way out of my street.

    At least both were accounted for and no issues with the shipment.

    I got my notification that it would be delivered today yesterday at about 5pm or so. Everything happened pretty quickly.

    Happy new phone day everyone!
