Customer Ratings & Reviews

Activation on this phone was primarily controlled by the Google software and it looked at all of the electronics in my home. This cause a few problems as it tried to make all the info on all the devices similar. When setting up this phone, be sure to move slowly and read ALL of the screen instructions!!!

Perfect product. An affordable phone that is good for everyday tasks and gets the work done.

So far so good. Coming from a Pixel 4a. Does everything I need it to.

Great phone. I was pleased with this budget smartphone and all of its amazing technological advancements! A great Google phone!

Good phone, better battery life than the 7. Still gets warm depending on tasks.

I have been in the Google ecosystem for many years and been a Pixel user since the…Nexus days. I don’t think it is a reach in any way to say this is the best Pixel to date. Hardware/Design: If you are familiar with the Pixel 7, it is more or less the same, but refined and improved. Everything is just a little “cleaner.” Smaller bezels, slightly more rounder corners, a tighter camera bar, better materials. I would say, just better looking and put together. There are some really nice color choices as well, although I still wish they “blacked-out” the Obsidian color with a black camera bar. Additionally, I do also wish they gave the Standard versions of the phone the matte treatment the Pro versions received. The display is also improved, and quite good. High refresh rate. Crispy. Very bright. Specs are specs, but in the day to day, it just means everything flows very smoothly, and it is great to use inside or out. Lastly, the rest of the internals are more or less what one would expect. Decent RAM numbers, various storage options, and the latest Tensor 3 chip. I will have to see how the Tensor does over time, but all in all I really like what they have done with the looks and specs of this phone. Camera: For many people, this is among the most important aspects of a phone these days, and quite honestly, I am one of them. Over the years, the Pixels have had a great camera, the best for some time, and while competitors have more or less gotten just as good, I do still think this may be the best camera system out there. The camera, as is, simply outputs detailed and crisp pictures, with accurate and true to life, yet vivid colors. Beyond that, there are so many settings and modes that you can use not only to tweak and dial things to your liking, but also to capture just about anything you may want to. Then, when you have the picture, there are seemingly even more tools to edit and transform your pic to the final look you want to achieve. If you enjoy photography, or just taking fun pictures on a whim, I don’t think you would be disappointed here. Video, is once again, improved. More stable and generally just “better.” While I do think they still lag behind the competition here, the quality is still good, and it is nice to see continued improvement. There are some nice tools to play with here as well. Sound: It is quite good. I would say a marked improvement over the Pixel 7. Battery: I can’t give a long-term comment here, but so far, it is as expected, and I do not think it will be an issue. I know this comes down to how you use your phone, but I have been making it through all day with ease (as I did with the 7) and I have stayed away from Adaptive Battery, Charging, Saver and all of the options there (as I always have). I am sure they are effective, and would help, but as is I am happy with the battery, and it is a non-issue for me. The slightly faster charging is appreciated, but I would still like to see even a modest bump as some others have had for some time. Software: This is a BIG one for me. On a macro level, I just like that I get pure Android, from Google. Less bloat. Less extra apps. Features come first, some exclusive to the line. Updates come. Apparently now, they will come for 7 years. Frankly, that is wild. While I can not imagine “many” people will be using this phone in 2030, just to know that on some level one could gives a nice peace of mind. Beyond that though, the software just makes the phone good/fun/helpful to use. Google Assistant is easily the best out there. Translation. Dictation. Customization. Always on Display. Spam Detection. Call Assist/Screening. Endless Camera Tweaks. Face Unlock. These are just some of the things I use very often and now Google is expanding this list even further with some AI tools they are adding. Over time this list will grow and only be further refined. Simply, for me, it is just the best Android experience and the best integration between software and hardware on the platform. Ecosystem: Lastly, and it has taken seemingly forever, but this phone fits in very well to the larger Google ecosystem. You can pair it with some great buds, a watch that I am admittedly unsure of, and quite a bit of other hardware in the home. As a whole, it all works great together, and I think where one gets the most benefit out of the phone. Ultimately, as is probably pretty obvious, I really like this phone. It comes with so much, looks good, is well built, runs pure Android and fits so well into the Google ecosystem. You get all of that for an extremely fair price, and honestly, I think it is a great value. My only REAL wish is that Google offered the Standard and Pro versions of this phone is both the smaller and larger sizes. Maybe one day…

I switched from Apple to this android and I expected to it to be difficult but this phone has made it much easier than I expected. It's very light. I've only had it for a couple of weeks but so far I'm happy with the purchase. Reasonable price compared to what is out there.

Love this phone good battery and not a iphone!!!!!
