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?

    Kinda a noob question, but does your phone show a “this phone is running untrusted firmware, don’t put sensitive data on it” screen every boot due to bootloader unlocking? If yes, how annoying is it? I always thought of getting a custom ROM but the idea of that kinda keeps me away from them.

      It pops up for like 2 seconds so you can press a button to not boot if you thought someone installed something malicious on your phone. It’s really not a big deal.

      Yes it does. It appears for like 2 seconds when you boot. It’s completely a non issue. It’s just telling you you’re not running stock.
