As a result the first Pixel 8 Pro drop test has surfaced which has been conducted by a YouTube channel named PBKReviews.

First the tester dropped the phone from the waist height. The impact was on screen side but the screen survived. There's a minor scratch in the corner.

The next test was from neck height. And the phone survived that too. Yes, the impact was on the display side, but hardly any major dents.

The third drop was a rear drop test from waist height. There were some scratches but not much. Camera lenses are well protected.

The last test was the side drop and the device handled it well. Yes it has dents where the phone made contact with concrete but only a few.
After the recent failure from iPhone 15 Pro, the Pixel 8 Pro survived the early test. The phone looks pretty solid.
