For the rumored extra $200 price tag, it's disappointing that they aren't including the better gorilla glass Victus 2, Qi2 charging, UWB, and UFS 4.0 on the Pixel 8.

At least include the more durable glass, Qi2, and UWB. This is going to make the phone pretty out of date just by the spring. Especially because of the tendency for Pixels to get much worse over time.

I'm a forever Android fan, but I'm getting jealous of the quality and consistency of iPhones. I just wish I could find that kind of hardware quality in something other than Samsung (because I can't stand their software).

Aye, it's overpriced. Pixel prices usually drop pretty fast though.
