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.

Excellent build quality. I really love the matt finish. The camera is also excellent. The main magic happens after processing the image. Google really does magic!! I love this size as it is easier to use in one hand. Overall its an amazing upgrade for me who is coming from an iPhone XR.

Left the Android platform many years ago. Decided to return after much research. This phone has been great. Easy to set up, use and AI available features are spot on, and not just for photos. Love the Virtual Phone services, file handling and the Play Store.

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 Pixel 8 is nothing short of a technological masterpiece. Google has outdone itself with this exceptional device. The stunning display, remarkable camera system, and blazing-fast performance all combine to make the Pixel 8 the best smartphone on the market

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.

This phone is a nice step up from my Pixel 6a. One of my favorite things about it is its size--it's a little smaller than my 6a, and I prefer phones to be a little smaller than it seems like most flagship phones are these days. My other favorite thing is the price--BestBuy had it in stock and on sale for $399. I got it the same day I cracked my screen on my 6a and realized how much it would cost to fix my old phone.

Upgraded from my dead Pixel 5a, just switched out the SIM card and let it do it's thing. A little while later after all the updates and migration, I felt like I had my phone back! All my app menus, texts, contacts, pictures, etc. we're perfectly moved from the old phone. And even better, no Verizon $35 activation fee. Great phone if you're a pixel user or even better if you weren't. No Verizon or Samsung bloatware, just a clean android phone.

It is a flagship smartphone released by Google in late 2023. It featured notable improvements in camera technology, a custom-designed Google Tensor SoC for enhanced AI capabilities, and an updated design and form factor
The camera system on the Pixel 8 was praised for its image quality and computational photography capabilities, which are areas where Google's Pixel series has traditionally excelled. The Tensor SoC 3 was designed to optimize AI tasks, which contribute to various features like better speech recognition and improved image processing.
Additionally, the Pixel 8's new design language with its distinctive camera bar across the back. It was available in different color options and offered a range of storage capacities of which hazel was my favorite pick, In addition to the phone I also received pixel buds pro as a introductory offer which is amazing.

Got the Pixel 8 instead of the 9, since I didn't necessarily need all the latest tech, because I mostly use my phone for utilitarian purposes (I'm not a big gamer, for example). I thought the value was about right. This phone does everything I need it too well. My biggest complaint (and it's not enough to knock it off of 5 stars) is that the vibrate on this phone is kind of weak (and I've seen that in a few other reviews).

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

Got this phone the day it was released. I traded in my iphone 13. Wanted something different. Love it so far and im glad my old airpods work with the phone. Picture quality is amazing. The phone doesn't feel too big or too small in your hand.

The Pixel 8 (128GB) is easy to use and "transparent" if you are a Google. It is fast with a crystal clear display and excellent sound. The controls are relatively intuitive and the support team is outstanding.

Overall im a big fan of google pixel phones and prefer them over other android alternatives. I was looking for a smaller phone since everything is getting so big. I absolutely love the phone. I would definitely recommend this phone.
