Q: Can I trade in my phone in person at the Best Buy store ?
A: Can I trade in my iPhone 12 Pro Max in your store to purchase new 16 pro
A: Hi Pixel, You do not lose anything significant with the unlocked version of the Pixel 8 Pro when using it on Verizon. The unlocked version supports all of the major 5G and LTE frequency bands used by Verizon, including mmWave. This means that you will be able to get good coverage and performance, including access to Verizon's fastest 5G speeds. However, there are a few minor differences between the unlocked and carrier-locked versions of the Pixel 8 Pro. For example, the unlocked version may not come with pre-installed carrier apps, and you may need to contact Verizon manually to set up certain features, such as visual voicemail. Overall, the unlocked version of the Pixel 8 Pro is a good choice for users like you or me who want the flexibility to switch carriers in the future. It also supports all of the major features that Verizon offers, including mmWave 5G. I hope this info helps!
A: I can not see if others have replied to you- but I can state my experience. If you buy and have it shipped to you- you get the option of shipping your old phone back, and you can do this after making sure you indeed love the Pixel. To return your Pixel, you will be subject to a restocking fee however. I bought a phone two years ago and traded in a phone. That location was 90 miles away (they were the only store that had it stock). I knew almost immediately that I didn't like that phone. When I tried to call the store, I was forwarded to their call center. When I visited the store most local to me and explained the situation, they also could not contact that store- and further they told me the process of preparing your old phone you turned it wasn't a standard practice across stores. They told me the store could have already shipped out my phone (to wherever they ship these old phones), by the end of the day. It was a bad experience- except that I ended up just buying a whole other phone. But I wouldn't do that again, and don't suggest anyone physically hand in your phone in a trade unless you are 100% sure.
Q: do we get international warranty??
A: According to the Google Pixel warranty page, Google provides warranty, support, and parts for Pixel phones in the following countries and regions: ✓Australia ✓Austria ✓Belgium ✓Canada ✓Denmark ✓Finland ✓France ✓Germany ✓Greece ✓Hong Kong ✓Ireland ✓Italy ✓Japan ✓Korea ✓Luxembourg ✓Netherlands ✓New Zealand ✓Norway ✓Portugal ✓Singapore ✓Spain ✓Sweden ✓Switzerland ✓Taiwan ✓United Kingdom ✓United States If you purchased your Pixel phone in a country or region where it is not sold, you may not be able to get warranty service or support. And note that the Google warranty for Pixel phones is not the same in all supported countries. The warranty period and coverage may vary depending on the country where you purchased your phone. For example, in the United States, the Google warranty for Pixel phones covers hardware defects for one year from the date of purchase. In Canada, the warranty period is also one year, but it also covers accidental damage to the screen one time. It is also important to note that the Google warranty is only valid in the country where you purchased your phone. If you purchase your phone in a different country and then move to a country where the warranty is not valid, you will not be able to get warranty service or support. I hope this information is helpful. ;)

The real pro
Preordered the Pixel 8 Pro and it has been awesome since day 1. - the phone is big but doesn't feel too heavy in the hand - the porcelain color is so soothing to the eyes - camera is amazing: took better low light photos that an iPhone - performance is smooth - battery is great Not specific to the 8 pro, but the Pixel's "At a glance" feature is very useful to see weather forecast or upcoming events on the home screen and the lock screen in one line. I don't need a calendar and a weather widget for this. Saves lot of screen space. Also useful are the call screening features again not specific to the 8 pro. With the new Gemini AI assistant deployed it's even better and easier to search and find answers. Overall a great phone. I have used Pixel 6a, 7 and 7 pro and they had one or other issue. But the 8 pro has been stellar so far!

Good-Good Hardware, not good experience w/Android
I originally bought this phone and returned it because I thought the battery life was terrible. This is not an iPhone, so the user has to remember, there are multiple settings such as brightness and battery settings that you can do to improve your experience. I ended up returning the phone. I read more and more about the phone and ending up buying it AGAIN for the purposes of testing the battery, and the AI features, including some of the photo editing tools. The good: Battery life wasn't so bad, but I was aware of how bright the screen could be and turned out the battery saver settings. The camera was good, and generally took better pictures at full zoom than my iPhone 14 pro. The bad: I was really looking forward to the ability to use voice recognition for communicating across all platforms and I found it to be just as restrictive as iPhone. For instance, I thought this would work with Slack such as "Hey Google, send Slack message to Robert". It won't do that. (Neither will Siri by the way.) I routinely asked the Google Assistant to send a message and the assistant would come up and display the text from one particular request hours ago. Never figured this out. Some will say "the next update will fix that". I see- it's coming back to me now from my previous experience with Pixel: Everything gets fixed in a future update. I need it to work now however, more polished like iPhone. It really struggled for the Google Assistant to work properly one day, perhaps something wrong with the January update, who knows- but this is when I made the decision to return it. Understanding what I speak and then processing it... in some way, this phone should be the best at picking up your voice commands, and just all of a sudden in failed miserably. Also- the thumbprint scanner is just "okay". It did struggle somewhat, so I went ahead and registered additional entries for my thumbs, but I wanted to do both index fingers as well (imagine your phone laying down on your desk), but it was limited to 4 fingerprints! The face scanner is adequate, but it was significantly slower than iOS, doesn't appear to work in dimly lit situations, and may open your phone if your dog is in front of the screen. It seemed "gimmicky" and not really ready for prime time to be honest. For work: I loved the ability to have a separate "work profile" for apps, and the ability to Pause and Unpause that. However, when work profiles are "Unpaused" the darn phone will not do screenshots, I assume that is prohibited by my work policy.... But why is one able to do in on an iPhone with the same profiles installed? There was probably a "work-around"... but I'm just not into a place at work and home where I can spend time finding the "work-arounds". One thing that annoyed me- in my town of 17,000 there are no cases for this phone! Maybe the T-Mobile or Verizon stores that are managed by third party; but even the Verizon store in the nearest metro area only had maybe one of each kind of case available- 1 otterbox defender, 1 Google branded case. Best Buy had maybe only 1 available, Target oddly enough had 2 available. If you are heavy into Magsafe accessories- you will be disappointed at the offering available. Let's talk about the AI for a moment. In most of the native apps- Gmail, messages, for instance- you will get AI suggestions on how to reword your sentences in normal communication. I actually liked that for my communication for more formal purposes. As I recall, I do not think that existed for Facebook messenger or Slack messaging for instance. Lastly, let's talk about the camera experience. For full zoom- this camera outperformed my iPhone 14 Pro. For portrait photos, normal photos- it was on par, it was good. Let's have a real discussion on the likelihood you are going to use the "Best Take" AI feature where you are going to be given some alternative facial expressions to use for that one person in the group whose eyes are closed or looking down.... that feature is NOT READY for prime-time folks. The “magic eraser"... same, it just isn't all that great. It will show weird blobs of things in an area where you removed someone’s drink or something from their hand. It's just not ready. Another strange disappointment in the two phones that I set up were that it didn't transfer ANY of the messages from my iPhone. I did everything right, including chatting with a support rep on my second attempt. Google Support typed something to the effect of "it was only going to transfer 25mb anyway". Wow- okay. Bummer. I think I could have worked on this a little more with Verizon and they could have come up with a solution, but to transfer your phone through the exact process identified (and twice) and it not work for messages only was a little disheartening. Let's chat about messaging for a moment- there is some good news about how in 2024 the experience between IOS and android messaging will improve. Apple will make some concessions and embrace RCS- you can read more about that if you google those search terms. For now, there have been some improvements with how the pixel user can see how an iPhone user reacts to your message "the heart, thumbs up, thumbs down, 'ha-ha'," that sort of thing- and vice versa. I paid two restocking fees to return this phone, I tried to have my first one refunded, and a BEST BUY rep said it would be, but I don't think it was. I wanted this to work. It my work for you. If you are someone who isn't tied to IOS, you like a lot of feature rich options (that may not work as you intended until the next update), and lastly- if you can get over the fact that you will probably always live with sales reps at stores telling you this phone is a poor choice (seriously)- then this is for you! One thing everyone agrees on- the full price for this phone is too high. Make sure you are saving at least 20% off the normal price. If you are coming from another Pixel- you will love this phone.
