The 8 pro is a fair upgrade from a 6 pro but the display is worse than the previous two generations. I'll be keeping my 6 pro
How's the display worse?
Lower resolution and PPI
Resolution isn't everything. It's a brighter better quality screen. I guarantee it will look better than the 6 pro side by side. The few less pixels will not be missed
True, but the pixel 6 pro display is HDR10+ while the 8 pro is standard HDR, same display type.
The display is also 2400 nits peak brightness. I will take a brighter screen over HDR10+ literally any fucking day of the week.
Peak and average brightness are two different things. Either way, I have never had issues seeing what's going on the screen unless you shone a bright light directly on it or something.
Typically brightness isn't what I'd consider as a factor for a quality display, rather instead color accuracy. As long as you can see the display enough to distinguish colors in most environments, that's what matters.
