I always found it awkward to hit the mute button on the side of the R7, but with the R8 it feels like the mute button is in the perfect spot. Uniden has moved the mute button to the front of the detector which is a very welcome change. Also, as always, this is not a paid or sponsored review. ![]() It has firmware 1.22 which is very close to the production firmware 1.23 that will be shipped on retail R8’s and should offer the same performance and overall experience as what we’ve been testing, according to what I’ve been told. I’ve been mostly driving with the production R8. One has pre-production hardware, the other production. Note: I’ve tested two R8’s, both provided by Uniden. If you haven’t already watched it, make sure you check out my R8 introduction video first going over all the improvements added from the R7 to the R8.Īfter you watch this video, you’ll be up to speed with the R8 itself and now we can move onto real world experiences running it. The Uniden R8 ( $699) is essentially a souped up Uniden R7 ( $499) with the same performance enhancements and features that have been added to the Uniden R4 ( $449). ![]() The Uniden R8 is now available for pre-order in very limited quantities (more detectors will be available after the first initial batch) and so I wanted to go ahead and share my personal experiences and test results with the R8, as well as some reports from other fellow beta testers. ![]() It’s been my daily driver since November and I’ve been enjoying it so much that even after finishing beta testing and creating this Uniden R8 review, I continue choosing the R8 as my go-to radar detector of choice. The Uniden R8 is an impressive new radar detector.
