I have a Pixel 7 Pro, but for me it's a few things.

Improved modem
Increased battery life
Better thermals
SoC upgrade to 3nm process
Improved camera
Good deal or free stuff (e.g. free Pixel Watch 2, high Pixel 7 Pro trade in value)

What phone do you have and why might you want to upgrade to the Pixel 8?

Pixel 6 pro.

I absolutely MUST have at a minimum:

Zero thermal throttling issues
1080p front facing camera
Better cellular modem
Screen bright enough to use in direct sunlight.
Reliable fingerprint reader.

I absolutely refuse to accept a phone next that does not include ALL of these features.
