Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had to replace my phone rapidly and unexpectedly. I had trouble getting the phone I wanted from my carrier, but I was able to order my new Pixel 8 from Best Buy on line, and I had it in less than two hours. The display is amazing. The camera is wonderful, with the editing and effects very And as an older person, I really appreciate the sound clarity when speaking on the phone.

The best feature is the AI-Powered Camera that always enhanced the experience of capturing the moment. The design itself is standalone, which make it unique from other phones. It is definitely worth the money I spent and perfect gift for my wife.

This phone is slick...both figuratively and literally. - Been using the Pixel 8 phone for 4 weeks - The glass back makes the phone smooth and slippery as ice. On the first day I intercepted it starting to glide toward the edge of a table top and again on a fabric sofa arm. Putting a phone case on it has greatly reduced the slippery issue. - Google's commitment to provide Android and security updates through October 2030 drove the decision to buy the 8 vs the less expensive 7a. - More metal & glass in the 8 vs more plastic in the 7a also influenced the decision. - Migration from the old Pixel 3aXL was slick as well. Connected the new phone to the old with the 8's USB-C x USB-C charging cable, followed a few prompts and the migration took a little over a half hour. - I opted to skip copying 1,000+ pictures from the old phone or it would have taken much longer - In hindsight, it would have been prudent to fully charge the batteries on both phones, and turn the screen brightness down. The old phone's battery was at 67% when I started. When the migration finished it was down to 8%. - All apps, contacts, WiFi connection details successfully set up on the new phone. - The macro photo feature seems to work well - So far I am pleased with the Pixel 8

I've been on an annual Pixel upgrade since they introduced wireless charging into the Nexus/Pixel lineup. I upgraded to the Pixel 8 from the Pixel 7 and am extremelly happy. Everything works perfect for me and it is a pleasant upgrade. I am not a power user so I get plenty of battery life, the underscreen fingerprint sensor works great for me, and the improved facial ID is great. Not to mention, the size is perfect! I dont like big phones, so the non-pro Pixels are my go-to.

Ive been looking for a new phone for a while since I was still rocking with my S9+ and the Pixel always interested me. When I tell you that this Pixel 8 is such a fantastic phone, I am underselling it. The software is amazing. The camera? Stop looking, this is the best out there for the price. I love the AI and all the small features that you would sometimes glance over. If you are looking for a new phone, this is it. No discussion.

Snappy performance... Great cameras... Tons of cool software features... Vivid screen......... battery could be a little better.

Absolutely awesome phone in every sense. Great battery life, killer screen resolution and fantastic camera. It handles every app I throw at it flawlessly

One of the best phones i've ever had, pretty good battery life, amazing AI features, beautiful design and finally not a phone of the size of a tablet

First time pixel user. I really like how easy it was to transfer over apps and data from previous android phone. Size is just right to do one hand texting. Is a lot less "clunky" compared to previous android phone in that it works well with android auto and have not had any growing pains as I did with my old phone. The only thing I dislike is that the battery life is not great. I still get through the day but have noticed that the battery drains quickly with just surfing the web or streaming videos on YouTube.

Great size and very durable. Camera is outstanding! Excellent battery life.

Amazing phone with best in class features and best buy Black Friday deal topped it up. The phone is fluid with decent camera and all the goodness of android without any bloatware.

Since the Pixel 6, Google has truly been refining their lineup in a way they hadn't done up to that point. The 8 now stands as overall the best iteration yet. Pretty much all the features you would want from a flagship are here, and couple with Google's excellent software features makes this a compelling package. The screen is outstanding, the cameras as good as ever, and Android 14 tops it off with an overall pleasant experience.

This is a nice upgrade from the Pixel 7, slightly smaller in size which works for me. So far the battery life is great and with moderate use my phone lasts all day one a single charge.

Best phone ever!! I am very happy with this purchase, and the phone works quite well. The price is right and there was only a slight learning curve when coming from a Samsung phone. I know google has a spotted history when it comes to sale prices on their other models, so maybe the pricing will not be as strong a driver as the Pixel 7 pros and Pixel 8s go on sale, but I am very happy with this budget model. The battery life last multiple days between charges for me, or for the entire day with heavy youtube usage. It can get slightly warm at times, but no warmer than my S9+ under heavy usage, so I am not concerned. Charge times are reasonable, but I am coming from an older phone, so maybe I am just easily impressed. The finger print scanner works great for me, and when used in conjunction with the face recognition, is pretty seamless. Overall, I am very happy with this phone, and will consider the Pixel phone family moving forward.

Google Pixel 8 is just awesome with excellent below features: 1. Extra ordinary AI-powered camera features 2. Magic Editor and Audio Magic Eraser 3. Superfast performance 4. Improved battery life 5. Overall value of money and pocket friendly in such low price

I’ve been using the Google Pixel 8 for a few weeks now. The camera is fantastic, capturing sharp and vibrant photos. The performance is smooth, and I love the pure Android feel. However, the battery life hasn’t impressed me, and the price seems steep for what’s new. Still, it's a solid phone overall.

A really solid phone with amazing software with more updates still to come. It can sometimes struggle with android auto or other high end tasks, but it's still smooth for the day to day in 2025

Easy transfer from old phone. Much better performance. String battery life.

Nice long battery life that gets me over a day with moderate use. Camera is magnificent. I switched over from a Samsung Galaxy and my one qualm with this phone is that the apps cannot be organized in the full app list to hide some of the not regularly used apps.

Great phone. Good battery life, fluid software, and a bright screen.
