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?

    I had a P6P and now have the P8P - I assume what you’re complaining about is the delay it takes for the P6P to recognize your fingerprint compared to some other phones?

    If so: I did notice the 8P recognized faster than the P6P did - though still nowhere near as fast as I’ve seen the Samsung Galaxy S21’s sensor work for someone else I know.

    The speed benefit of the P8P went away after I added a screen protector though - the ZAGG one from the Google Store. Now it’s just as slow as I remember it being on the P6P, with a bit more unreliability to boot - sometimes I have to reposition or rescan my finger. (I did remember to re-enroll my fingers after applying the protector)
