A: Hi Jada, No, Google hasn't fixed the Android Auto connection issues on the Pixel 8. I'm still having problems connecting my Pixel 8 to Android Auto. I hope this helps!
A: Hey Groch, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Xfinity Mobile not accepting your unlocked Pixel 8. This is a known issue, and it's because Xfinity is slow to update their compatibility list. Contact Xfinity Mobile support. Let them know that you have an unlocked Pixel 8 that you purchased from Best Buy, and that you're trying to activate it on their service. They may be able to manually activate the phone for you or try to switch carriers. I hope everything gets resolved!

A: It's pretty balanced and it actually adapts to the lighting of the environment
A: No storage slot, but I think battery can be replaced.
Q: Does pixel 8 has any heating issues, or its resolved because the previous version was heating a lot
A: Yes it does. I just got this phone a week ago and I get nervous when I run Youtube or a game longer than 15 minutes. The battery is also terrible. Went to bed with it at 40% and woke up to it at 2%.
Q: does pixel have fingerprint unlock ability?
A: Yes and face unlock
A: Hi there, The Pixel 8 supports NFC. To see a full list of tech specs, please visit: g.co/pixel/specs

REVIEW - Google Pixel 8 Unlocked Obsidian
I recently picked up the Google Pixel 8 Unlocked Obsidian from Best Buy on February 26, 2025, and I wanted to share my experience. Design: The phone has a sleek, compact design that feels great in hand. Display: The 120Hz OLED screen is bright and vibrant, making everything look fantastic. Camera: The AI-powered camera is amazing with features like Best Take and Magic Editor. It performs well in all lighting conditions. Performance: The Tensor G3 chip ensures smooth performance for everyday tasks. It’s not the fastest, but it gets the job done. Battery: The improved battery life lasts me a full day. Software: Google promises seven years of updates, which is a big plus. Price: i got it for a $399 value, and its features make it worth it. Overall, the Pixel 8 is a great midrange phone with excellent camera features and long-term support.

Great display and cameras, but not perfect.
Pros: Fantastic display and cameras. Smaller size is nice in a sea of mega phones. Physical design is very sleek. Call screening and other similar Pixel features are invaluable. Officially-sanctioned repair parts and guides are available on ifixit.com. Cons: Average battery life. Occasional performance issues and bugs. More susceptible to heat than Snapdragon phones, causing reduced performance and slower charging in the summer months. Conclusion: A great phone for Google-philes, mobile photographers, and/or tech enthusiasts who like to repair their own devices. Not for those who need rock solid battery life or the highest performance available.
