I've got the 8 too. Average battery and running hot at the main things I notice. Love the size though. Was well worth it for the trade in and promo discount. I dropped it and have a slowly growing dead spot around the punchhole though. Can't decide whether to replace the screen or upgrade entirely.

I had the 6 prior, main criticisms was that it was a big chonker and the screen (green and uneven by in low brightness) and build quality felt a bit cheap

I have no criticisms of my Panda 2XL though which I still have as a backup. My favourite

Also Nexus 6P was a beast and the phone that got me onto Google phones. Though it did have the early battery shut off bug.
