    A Very Good Phone for the Value

    Extremely fast and great with the Google/Android ecosystem. The only fault I see in this product is that the Gemini AI could be better integrated with the Music/Reminder features that you would have with the standard Google assistant. The camera offers very good, true to world pictures with many options when it comes to taking a picture.

    Its been sometime since I bought the Pixel 8. I waited long enough to have the december patch before posting my review here. This phone is what brings google on the table to compete with the big leagues. It has an amazing dcreen and the cameras take impeccable photos. You cant beat this phone at this price

    I traded my pixel 7 for this new Pixel 8. The pixel 7 was never a good phone in that it had continuous problems with touch sensitivity. However, the pixel 8 is currently a perfect phone. Everything works well. Speakers are nice, they are louder than the pixel 7 and the touch is great on the pixel 8. No complaints here!

    The Pixel 8: Work Smarter not Harder

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Pixel 8 may not be a pocket powerhouse like other phones packing the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 SoC, which Google's Tensor G3 noticably lags behind both in terms of performance and efficiency. But, if you're like me you really don't care about the lack of available processing power. I don't play many games on my phone, and the few I do play aren't that intensive. So, a big powerful processor isn't one of my priorities. And this isn't to say you can't play the newest games on your phone. You might just see a dip in performance when your phone gets alittle to hot. But what the Tensor G3 lacks in general performance it makes up for it by utilizing AI and other software tricks to make your overall smartphone experience better. From custom themes generated to match your wallpapers, screening phone calls for scams, and erasing unwanted subjects from your photos. This phone is smart. And with seven years of software updates promised by Google. You shouldn't have to think about a new phone anytime soon.

    I ordered the Pixel 8 and received it the next day through pickup at my work; Walgreens. I got the rose color which is beautiful, I'm already familiar with the pixel series as I upgraded from the Pixel 7a to give to my mom. This is a huge step-up, not the perfect phone but it's very close

    Runs Hot. Multiple Issues During Setup.

    This phone has issues. I’ve been using this phone all day trying to get it set up. The screen has been doing some weird things. It flickers between varying shades of grey when the system dark mode is on and the screen is being touched. I suspect this is due to the adaptive switching of the high refresh rate display constantly going between 60 hz and 120 hz. The only trick I’ve found is to completely turn off the “smooth display” (120 hz) option in settings. This completely defeats the purpose of having a 120 hz capable display. But the flickering is very noticeable and unpleasant. The camera also has some very weird things going on. When switching between cameras it’s lagging badly and the edges of the live camera view are momentarily flashing and turning purple?! Never had such an issue with a new device. And yes, I’ve completely updated the phone to the latest android software/app versions and it’s still exhibiting this behavior. It has literally taken me HOURS to get the phone set to where it should be due to multiple “failed” software updates. I’ve even factory reset the entire device just to make sure it’s not a fluke. To top things off, the phone has been getting very hot this whole time. Not scalding, but hot enough to be uncomfortable to hold without a case on. I believe that at least the particular unit I received is defective, and will definitely be returning for a refund. I don’t think I even want to take my chances exchanging. However, If this is indicative of the quality control that Google has on their pixel line of devices, you simply might want to consider something else.

    Google Pixel 8 - 2 years of use review

    Had it for two years now. Great phone except for the known issue that the screen has a connection issue that can eventually pop up. Causes the screen to go hazy green or a green line goes from top to bottom of the screen. There's an extended repair that Google covers on the screen repair though.

    This is my 2nd time trading my older Pixel in for a new one, and I am still very pleased by the value my older Pixel can be traded for. The screen of the Pixel 8 feels smoother than my prior Pixel 7, and so far, the battery seems to last a bit longer. Overall, I'm very pleased with my upgrade.

    All around good phone. Good photo and camera quality. Great editing capabilities. Decent ram. Battery would drain pretty quick at first over time battery life started to extend Although after a few months screen started to freeze pixels and now has a pink line going up and down the display.

    Mostly, I have Apple products. However, I always have an Android phone on hand for my UK sim and for app development testing. My old Android died so I decided to give this Pixel 8 a try. At this price $399 it’s a steal! Would I swap my Apple 16 Pro Max for it? No! But, it’s a great phone, and anyone looking for a reasonably-priced phone with flagship features will find all of that here. Also, Google has promised seven years of updates!

    Honestly I haven’t figured out all of the features but I really like this phone. I love music and it will pick up whatever song is playing and display the artist and title on my screen. The picture quality is phenomenal and I can erase people out, lol

    I've always been a pixel fan and this one is the best one yet. I am always taking still photos and the computational photography on this phone remains my favorite. I've compared it to my wife's iPhone and we both agree that the photo quality of the pixel is always best.
