I’m sceptical about whether to go for Pixel 8 after watching some of the reviews. Or should I go for pixel 7?

I'm rocking a 7 pro as my personal and after giving my 7 that was my work phone to my wife I ordered another pro for my work phone. I've been happy with it. Some heat issues but mostly centered around trying to wirelessly charge it when the battery is really low. As for the cell issues, 5g was an issue but recent updates including at the os level have taken care of those.

I was considering upgrading to the 8 pro but the cost benefit analysis didn't haven't making sense. Plus, historically speaking, the odd numbers with Google phones are the better option and the evens have problems. I'll probably wait for the 9 before I worry about upgrading again.
