    I recently visited my local Best Buy store, and I have to say, it was an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff who were eager to help. The store was well-organized, making it super easy to find exactly what I was looking for. The selection of electronics and gadgets is incredible—whether you're looking for the latest tech, home appliances, or gaming gear, Best Buy has it all. I was particularly impressed by the variety of laptops and TVs on display, with staff available to give detailed product demos and answer all my questions. What really stood out was the customer service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. They even helped me set up a few items before I left, which was a nice touch. In addition to the great products, Best Buy’s store environment is clean and spacious, so shopping is a pleasant experience. Plus, they offer price matching and excellent return policies, which gives me peace of mind when purchasing big-ticket items. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Best Buy and will definitely return for my next tech purchase!

    I like this phone it's a lil big but it's not crazy, I miss a rear facing touch sensor and don't like the camera bulge, otherwise the phone is great, good battery life nice screen good cell antennas.

    Camera is pretty good. However not all features are available for non-pro phones. Battery life has improved from previous versions but still not as good as other flagship phones. But for this price it's 100% worth it

    This one gets it right. Long time Pixel 2 user, forced into upgrading to iPhone 13 due to circumstance. After a year, the Pixel 7 came out so I bought it but wasn't wowed. Returned it and tried the 7a when it came out just to be sure; sluggish. Enter Pixel 8. This is the one that should have been the upgrade to my Pixel 2. I'm instantly comfortable with it. No more issues with scrolling, swiping, or the fingerprint reader. I'm pretty sure the swipe keyboard entry works better too (as well as it did on my 2, and better than all the phones since). Call screening and spam detection is still awesome and it's the number one reason to buy this phone. No unwanted calls have gotten through, at least since I remembered to turn that feature on. My last non-Pixel phone logged about 50 spam calls a week.

    Traded in my pixel 5 for this and I couldn't be happier. Camera on this doesn't disappoint especially for the price. The color on this phone came out better than in the picture and overall battery and the screen are really good!

    It's been good so far, camera is decent, software is great, battery is good, been getting 7-8hrs of screen on time. You might want to get a case though, can get really slippery in the hands.

    Traded in a pixel 4 for this pixel 8 and what a difference 4 years makes for technology progression. The pixel 8 lasts more than 1 day on battery and it's super snappy feeling. Very happy with my purchase.

    Had a pixel 3... Yeah, I know. Kids said I need a new phone, to stay with pixel as I mostly knew how to use it. I'm 73 years along in time. It's a bit different. It gets hot when charging, or if I'm using it for a while. still figuring out stuff. I'm not technologically gifted. Cute phone, does what I need. Camera is supposed to be better.. still playing with that. I thought I was getting the sale price that was online, I even asked the associate and showed him the link. He said yes. Got home, looked at receipt, it was $50 more than I thought I was paying. Oh well... I should have paid closer attention. I'm far too trusting.

    Pixel is awesome. Native Android without all the customization and add-ons other brands do. With Pixel you get the latest updates first. Camera is excellent. Memory has not been any issue. I love the integration with my Pixel tablet.

    So far good experience. Try to get the pro i would say. A bit of heating up problem is persistent though. Camera is nice and it is extremely well integrated with the Google and Android ecosystem.

    Amazing can't say enough. Put it next to an iPhone and you'll see what I mean. It feels so similar. Sizing dimensions. Everything about the feel and look seem to be copied now except Android. That's the real winner here with all the extra features that Google has built in with call screen and AI magic eraser. You will be stunned at what this phone can do. And all the quality of life updates from this phone. I switched from an iPhone 13 pro Max to this and I don't regret it at all. Great job Google.

    We've been buying Pixel phones for our last few and really enjoy them. Still angry that they killed the headphone jack, but it looks like it's nearly impossible to find one of those anymore. Screen is nice. Wireless charging is cool. Love the feature where the assistant answers calls and allows you to screen before answering.

    I bought this to upgrade from a Pixel 7 Pro, I went for the Pixel 8 because I do prefer the smaller phone and felt the pro was too big for me. I can happily say that I do notice the improvements performance wise, I already love this phone after using it for only a few weeks. The only negative I'd give it is the battery life, But still, I can't remember the last time I had a phone with an actually good battery life. I'd give it 5 out of 5 with a better battery. OIther than that, great phone
