I picked up the 8pro. The fingerprint reader is fine, maybe marginally improved over the 7pro. It’s nowhere near the ultrasonic fingerprint readers. But, it now has Class 3 secure face unlock, which is good enough for banking and other apps, and combined with the fingerprint reader, it’s pretty quick to unlock.

The experience is smooth, the software is well optimized for the hardware, but if you’re looking for the top specs and are a big mobile gamer, I don’t think you’d be happy.

For me, I don’t game at all on my phone, so it’s perfect for me. I love the user experience, the helpful AI features, and the photos Pixel’s take. I picked up the 8 Pro and it feels a lot more refined and uncompromising in almost all the ways.
