Can live well with the 'slow' chip and relatively lack of batt time. But the Doodle OS, damn, desert island, coconuts only. Samsung oneui + addons is a 5 star mega-restaurant in comparision (with nothing to pay for the meals). So carrying 2 phones (no problem + using many sims): Pixel for it's great photos (+ hotspot use), Samsung for all the rest :O) I have both the P8P and the s25 Ultra, I prefer the 8 pro in every single way. I hate all the garbage in the OneUI Skin. We both (my wife and I) use Microsoft launcher to get rid of the google search bar, and add icon packs. Other than that all that whizbang'ery of OneUi is added bloat. We get through a day of heavy use without issue and I have never had a slow down because of a "slow" processor. Benchmarks don't me a fiddlers fart in real world use. As proven by my laptop benching better on affinity photo with my Xe Graphics from 2020 vs a radeon 890m from 2025. 1 Workstation - Dell XPS 8940 - desktop creative powerhouse Mobile Workstation - Dell inspiron 5406 2 in 1 - mobile creative beast Wifey's Notebook - Dell inspiron 3169 - Little gem for our businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6730b Posted Saturday at 06:30 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:30 PM Happy with the p8pro, nothing broke in 9 months and good photo dept. Am liking 'minimalistic everything' when it comes to looks, still using this launcher, really light and good ! https://f-droid.org/packages/com.vincent_falzon.discreetlauncher/ And on all and every phone in my posession, Netguard to have full control of background net activity (see the lock key next to level bars). Bloat ? Pixel got a good dose as welll, my debloat list: reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/1hno705/comment/m43rc3f/ 1 Dell Precision 5540 w10 ltsc 1809 (+ O&O shutup), HP i5 desktop w10 ltsc 1809 (+ O&O shutup), Dell E7440 w8.1, Tosh w8.1. Pixel 8 Pro (+ Netguard), 2x Samsung A52s (+ Netguard). Stand with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
