Google Pixel 8

Got it recently after the battery started swelling on my Google Pixel 6 after 3 years of ownership.

I love that it's smaller than the 6, the 120Hz OLED display, the clean software, the 6 remaining years of updates, cameras are great (as were the cameras in the Pixel 6), and (relative) lack of bloatware compared to other phones I've had from Motorola and LG.

I am kind of irritated by the battery life and and how warm the phone tends to get. It was $200 cheaper than the Pixel 9 when both were on sale, but I'm wondering if I should've bit the bullet and gone for the 9.

Overall, I really like the phone for it's features and performance, but wish it had better endurance and ran cooler.

Just a few of the things I'd like to see addressed here in the US:

  • Universal healthcare
  • Climate change
  • Income inequality
  • Reproductive rights
  • Electoral reform (use popular vote for president, end gerrymandering)
  • Restore fairness doctrine & regulate social media
  • Stopping the rise of fascism and the far-right
  • Restrict presidential power (no kings/dictators)
  • SCOTUS reform (end lifetime terms)
