    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.

    Pixels were usually considered best phones for a clean Andriod experience. Pixel 8 takes it further and is probably one of the best smartphones with great camera, clean OS, regular software updates, lots of helpful/smart features and overall very well rounded software-hardware tech. I have been a pixel user for a couple of years now, have had issues here and there since the Pixels started to use their own Tensor chips but every feature seems to be getting better and better inching towards optimum performance. Highly recommend.

    Great small phone with a good camera and even better software. My only knock on this device is the battery life.

    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

    I have used Samsung and Apple past many years and this is the first time switching to Pixel-8 after watching many advertisements. The first impression is it is totally different looks wise and feature wise. Since its from Google, android features are adopting by itself and working seamlessly. Especially with Google home setup this is the phone you should go with to control everything. The camera and video features are excellent and improved. The phone is little heavy. the best is page back swiping.

    my 3 yr old pixel 5 started to split apart and its had other issues like volume problems and fingerprint sensor being inconsistent. plus battery life has dropped. Pixel 8 was in stock and easy to migrate to before I lost the display on the old phone. The pixel8 is slightly larger and heavier, but not huge. i value a smaller phone so that's why Went with the 8. camera and photo editing is great. I've used samsung but am happier with the google interface.

    Flagship successor to the Pixel 5

    Love this phone. I previously had a Pixel 5 and loved the size and shape. When I upgraded to the 7 it was good but too big and heavy and the fingerprint sensor sucked. Now on the 8 the fingerprint sensor and face unlock are superior to the 7 for me. The 120hz and super bright display is awesome. The size and weight is very comparable to the Pixel 5 but now with the tensor G3 instead of the budget processor of the 5. Overall very happy with the purchase and pre-order/trade in experience with Best buy.

    The phone is really good with great performance, display, and sound quality. The only downside is the lack of a native call recording feature, which I miss. Other than that, everything works smoothly, and I'm very happy with the product.

    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.

    Great quality smart phone. Good camera and software, with little to no issues. Sometimes it will get a bit warm, but only if brightness is up all the way and I've been on it for a while (think, doomscrolling for hours) so it does not happen often. Camera is great at post processing, and the macro lens captures details beautifully.

    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.

    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.

    Google Pixel 8 is a slick phone

    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
