    Absolutely love this phone, by far the best Phone I have ever had. I upgraded from the pixel 4a 5g, and I must say it's an upgrade indeed. The pixel 8 features are so broad, you need time to learn them all.

    Got this for my wife and so far so good. I am impressed by the picture resolution / quality and the thinness of the device. Many are not a fan of the tensor, however no performance issues that I would notice. Works smoothly and swiftly.

    Bought this for the wife to replace a beat up Pixel 6a. She loves the compact size and the face unlock (6a had it too, but not as well integrated as an option for opening other apps). Great phone at a great price!

    My son needed a new phone, and because he is a bit accident prone, I bought the "Budget" phone for him based on reviews.This phone is so much better than expected. So I bought another for my wife.

    Been loving it since I switched from the pixel 6a, the camera is crisp and also has long exposure modes with astrophotography. The screen feels better than an iPhone. The free buds sweetened the deal even more

    A great phone with a great camera. A bare bones Android experience that is software is updated every every month. Google drops new features and other security updates regularly.

    Sluggish phone

    I traded my pixel 7 pro for this device, since the size was pretty much that I got carried away. But this was not a good idea. The phone is in general sluggish, camera lag being the most prominent. Thought the pictures are really great. Multitasking with android auto using google maps, youtube music, taking a teams call is a nightmare. It would just restart the phone. Battery backup is another problem. I had to charge twice in a day, starting with full charge. Android 14 has many bugs too, gmail would become non responsive often. Many apps would need to be reset often. I had no other option to give up on the phone. Have had pixel 6, 7 pro and 8 on launch days. And this is the last time. Lesson learnt, You cannot fix things with only software and AI, you also need good hardware to get the basic multitasking first. Got a oneplus 11 at almost same cost, buttery smooth, battery is at 81% as I type where Pixel would be at 30%.

    A great camera. It takes beautiful pictures of people indoor and outdoor. I am not happy with the nature photos that Pixel 8 can take. The dynamic rage and details the phone captured were not good enough. Sample photo added for reference.

    Overall, does have a few glitchy moments, not sure if it's been related to wifi/cell signal but didn't really have any issues withy pixel 2, until the battery gave out on me. Pictures have been quite a bit clearer than my old phone
