    Best Android To Date

    Of all Androids I've tested, including a recent Galaxy and all of the recent years of Pixels, this is my favorite because of native Google apps, Pixel UI > Samsung's UI (which is better than any of the other Android manufacturer UIs), and other features and functionality exclusive to Pixel models. And the Pixel 8 has some features that are actually a little different than previous Pixels, even though I estimate Pixels that still are in active update cycle will get them. But without going into item by item detail, the hardware and software are super. I believe Pixels are underrated because of being a little late in the game with other higher end Androids, especially Samsung of course. I will make a note that battery life is especially important to me, and this one certainly lasts a full day without getting into critical level with moderate to medium-heavy use and updating and file syncing. Google has done great with battery life the last few years. And just another note, it's nice to see the continued screen adjustment of coloring and shading when in ultra-bright sunlight, ever since the Pixel 5 series, where it seemed to borrow technology from the old Windows Phones that had this...where the screen doesn't wash out and the coloring adjusts for a very seeable screen. A feature Apple and others have tried with other tech but not as successful if at all (except it seems 2022-23 iPhones have a deeper brightness that does do better in bright sunlight, finally). For Android seekers as well as devotees, I highly recommend this if you are in the market for a new phone.

    I purchased this phone for my wife as a wedding anniversary gift. The phone is awesome. Great product for the affordable price point. Features are great in terms of usage. Camera quality is stunning. Not too broad. Not too heavy. The colour "Obsidian" choice is remarkable. Overall great product.

    This is a great phone. The size is perfect for small hands. Android OS runs pretty fast in the new processor. Not sure about the battery performance as I think the phone needs some more time to calibrate the battery. The vibration motors are amazing. Typing feels very nice. The camera is amazing and google offers a lot of software features for photo editing.

    This mobile phone is the best you can buy at this price. It has a beautiful design and is packed with AI features that are actually useful in real life. The camera is excellent, as usual for Pixel phones, and the battery life is great, lasting for up to 1.5 days with moderate to heavy use. Overall, this is a great phone with exceptional value for money.

    Pretty small and compact device. It fits my hand perfectly, and the performance is smooth with the camera being easily the flagship aspect of this device. The long software support keeps me assured that this device is a long term investment that will only get better over time with feature drops. One complaint is that the phone can get a little hot sometimes.

    Pixel 8 phone was for my husband - he really likes the phone as it is a step up from his old Moto G7. The Pixel 8 holds a charge longer than the previous phone. Using it was fairly easy as he's had android phones before. The Pixel 8 is also 5G which is also a step up in performance.

    The Pixel 8 Pro is so definitey a step in the right direction. As a lifelong HTC user, this is the only phone I have used that comes close tp the ingenuity of HTC. Camera and software are amazing. Screen is awesome, and it's fast, Great phone

    The pixel has been great for me. I purchased it on release day and battery camera screen overall use has been good. Averaging about 3-6 hours of SOT daily. Nice screen nice form factor, cameras are good. For the deal I got I'm very happy with the purchase

    The smartest smart phone

    Pixel is the smartest smart phone, it's faster than iPhone 14Pro and fits better in my hand. Battery had been lasting a decent amount of time and only have to charge to 80% to get a whole day off light use. Face unlock is good as long as your face is close and works every time. Obviously not as good as Apples face unlock feature. The biometric under screen finger print sensor has been working very fast compared to the Pixel 7 with no screen protector and you can register the same print duplicate times for better recognition. iPhones may be superior, have better resale value, have better customer service, have better support services here and abroad but as stated Pixel is the smartest smart phone.

    It just works. It's fast, good battery life, great camera, great integration of Google throughout. There's less customization and features than Samsung, so you might miss quite a few conveniences, but if you know that going in, you'll be fine.

    Pixel 8 sits comfortably in the "great, but not groundbreaking" territory. It doesn't scream for attention with flashy features, but it excels in the everyday: a fantastic camera, smooth performance, and long-lasting battery life

    Camera is very good. Strong point is NO bloatware. Sharp screen and the size fits me: large enough to let my fingers type but small enough to slip in a shirt pocket.

    My only pick for a phone is Pixel, and I was concerned that my previous phone wouldn't be matched by a new one. How wrong I was. The Pixel 8 is an incredible model with an incredibly affordable price. Pics are, as with my last Pixel, so clear. Battery lasts so long that sometimes I forget that I need to charge. Love, love, love my Pixel

    This phone is the perfect size and has a great camera BUT it runs hot. It disconnects from Android Auto every minute or two. The battery life sucks and it gets hot when you charge it. My $300 Motorola G Power 5G 2024 never gets too hot and never disconnects from Android Auto when I am working. This is the third Pixel phone that has given me similar issues (Pixel 8a and Pixel 9 also did that). I will stick with phones with Mediatek and Exynos chips as even my Motorola Stylus 5G 2024 with Snapdragon 6 gen 1 was often disconnecting from Android Auto. Even though the Stylus 2023 4G with Mediatek Helio chip did not. Tensor and mid range Snapdragon keep having this problem. I work for Amazon and I depend on Android Auto 6 hours a day so I know what I am talking about.

    I've been using this phone for the past 20 days now and am impressed with its camera and battery. I haven't faced any lags/ phone hangs yet. However, I feel that the Phone's display can be made more crisp.
