- A: AnswerHi 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!
Answered by FernandoR
- A: AnswerHey 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: AnswerYes 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%.

Marvelous Product by Google.
I am a lover and fanatic for the Google Pixel phones, watches, and tablets, haven't gotten the table yet, but will do so one day. It is not as restrictive as Apple products in terms of what you wish to do with the phone with regard to just about anything.

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.

A Worthy Upgrade!
I upgraded from the Pixel 7 to the Pixel 8. I love the slightly smaller overall size, the much improved screen brightness, 120hz refresh rate, the upgraded camera features, the AI features are helpful and fun throughout, and I have been getting all-day battery life. Although I wasn't sure about upgrading from the 7 to the 8, I am very happy that I did. Best Buy made the purchase and trade in experience simple and easy.
