Hi Pixel 8 and 8 pro users, how has your experience with the new line of phones been so far? I’m still rocking a pixel 6 pro, and don’t intend on upgrading this year; however, as a pixel nerd, I am curious about how the new phone is holding up? Has there been any noticeable improvements or compromises compared to your last device? Most importantly are you still enjoying it?

      Nope, I never use contactless payments, or even google wallet so I don’t even notice its gone.

      I lost a couple of AI features, but I’m not that bothered about AI wallpaper generation, it was a bit of a gimmic anyway.

      I had GrapheneOS on my Pixel 5 too and that saw a good battery life improvement once I finally installed GOS.

        From what I understand it seems more like NFC through Google Pay is what’s unsupported. So that means if your banking app relies on Google Pay for contactless payments, those aren’t going to work.
