I don’t have a great answer for you as I haven’t used the Pixel 8 Pro yet.
I have owned a Pixel 7 Pro alongside my Motorola Razr+ and my S23 Ultra and, personally, found the S23 Ultra to be leagues better in software features and hardware performance (I know I’m going to get voted down to hell for saying it). I ended up selling it to a friend.
BUT…based on the current P8P information, it may finally change my mind. I definitely plan to pick one up and use it as my DD for awhile and see. I’m legitimately hopeful.
Ohhhh, wow. Ridiculous.
