Customer Ratings & Reviews

This phone has issues. I’ve been using this phone all day trying to get it set up. The screen has been doing some weird things. It flickers between varying shades of grey when the system dark mode is on and the screen is being touched. I suspect this is due to the adaptive switching of the high refresh rate display constantly going between 60 hz and 120 hz. The only trick I’ve found is to completely turn off the “smooth display” (120 hz) option in settings. This completely defeats the purpose of having a 120 hz capable display. But the flickering is very noticeable and unpleasant. The camera also has some very weird things going on. When switching between cameras it’s lagging badly and the edges of the live camera view are momentarily flashing and turning purple?! Never had such an issue with a new device. And yes, I’ve completely updated the phone to the latest android software/app versions and it’s still exhibiting this behavior. It has literally taken me HOURS to get the phone set to where it should be due to multiple “failed” software updates. I’ve even factory reset the entire device just to make sure it’s not a fluke. To top things off, the phone has been getting very hot this whole time. Not scalding, but hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold without a case on. I believe that at least the particular unit I received is defective, and will definitely be returning for a refund. I don’t think I even want to take my chances exchanging. However, If this is indicative of the quality control that Google has on their pixel line of devices, you simply might want to consider something else.

Loads quickly and the camera quality is great. The battery life is great.

Very fast but can heat up a little bit. Camera is very good.

Works good. Has a decent battery life too. Speed is good.

Great phone at a great price and BB had it available for pickup the same day ...

Mostly, I have Apple products. However, I always have an Android phone on hand for my UK sim and for app development testing. My old Android died so I decided to give this Pixel 8 a try. At this price $399 it’s a steal! Would I swap my Apple 16 Pro Max for it? No! But, it’s a great phone, and anyone looking for a reasonably-priced phone with flagship features will find all of that here. Also, Google has promised seven years of updates!

Good phone. Works great and picture quality is amazing

For the price-to-quality ratio, you can't get better than the Google pixel. Always satisfied with this product!

Upgraded from the 5a, very fast and taking pics is awesome

Camera is amazing. Excellent battery life. Very happy purchase.

Great phone so far excellent camera. The battery life is great too.

Perfect size phone. Great camera. and has a flat screen

I really love this phone. It is beautiful, easy to use, a fair price, great display, nice camera. I did expect the camera to be a bit nicer, though. But overall, I'm very happy with this phone.

Excellent quality and price. Quick, great screen, worldwide frequencies. Pleb\nty of storage. Highly recommend this phone if looking for reasonably priced, excellent phone with all the bells and whistles. Being able to use it anywhere in the world is great plus.

I upgraded from my pixel 7. The phone is great - bright screen, good size, great camera, and easy to transfer everything from my old phone.

Google makes a solid no-nonsense phone dependent heavily on software to coax a decent experience out of the mid to higher tier hardware. Pixel 8 has great photo and video capability but I believe the Google/Samsung processor holds it back a bit compared to other 'flagships'. Got this as an open box deal and intend to ride this out til the end of it's security updates.

Extremely fast and great with the Google/Android ecosystem. The only fault I see in this product is that the Gemini AI could be better integrated with the Music/Reminder features that you would have with the standard Google assistant. The camera offers very good, true to world pictures with many options when it comes to taking a picture.

This is my best phone i purchased and it's so easy to buy in best buy

Got a great trqde in deal and coulent be happier. Coming from a pixel 6a and iohones before that, the phone doesnr disappoint. Especially love thr battery life. As one who travels alot its great to not need to reach for the battery bank. Wish there was more 3p support with cases as all the big players go with the pro only.

The phone I received was defective. It self-restarted almost incessantly. That is probably why the power button didn't work to wake the phone, and the lift to wake worked rarely. I was only able to access the pin lock screen to unlock the phone by waiting until the right moment in the restart cycle. This also ran down the battery really quickly. When I could access functions, the camera is amazing. Love the camera. Would have made the effort to explore more on the phone, but it was too frustrating to deal with being interrupted by the phone restarting. Returned and repurchased elsewhere.
