Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall a good phone but hoping the battery life gets a little better after future updates.

I was sent the wrong phone but they got me the correct one pretty fast

Phones don't come with manuals any more and the online tips sometimes work and sometimes are disappointing. So I'm still figuring out how to answer it, use it and connect it to my car. I have 5 more days to return it if I'm not happy. ..and my car is a 2021 model so it should just plug and play as far as I'm concerned

Great phone! Great experience! Great price! Best bank for the buck.

Solid, powerful phone. Easy integration with Google accounts and services

The design of the Pixel 8 Pro is unique. The camera bar makes it stand out and is visual interesting. The back glass is a nice texture. The camera bar extends the width of the device, making it is easy to use while sitting flat on a table without rocking. This is a premium looking device, and arguably the best looking in current smart phones. Set up was easy and enjoyable. Anybody can go through the set up\onboarding process with ease. Features are clearly explained and tutorials are there if needed (for system swipe navigation, for example). I activated the eSim with Google Fi. This was so easy to do by simply downloading the app and walked through the process. The screen is probably the best I’ve even seen on a phone. It can get so bright that viewing outside is not an issue. I like that the screen is flat. The high and variable refresh rate keeps everything smooth. The device can be unlocked with face or fingerprint, in additional to the usually PIN\Passcode. This is an example of the setup process and ease of use. It walks you through setting both up (if you want) and explains how they are used. Face unlock has a ring light up around the front facing camera so that you know when it attempts to unlock. The ring around the camera is such a nice touch and provides satisfying feedback to let you know what is going on. Face unlock doesn’t work well in low light or darkness, though, which is expected without additional sensors. For situations where face unlock doesn’t work, or you don’t want to bring the device up to your face, the fingerprint works perfectly. This is a perfect combination of biometric unlocking. The face unlock also has a higher security rating then before, making it allowable in banking and other secure apps. Cameras have advanced features if you want them, but otherwise they are just perfect. The telephoto lens is unreal. The 5x zoom is perfect, and the 30x is magical. Macro photos and nightlight are other excellent features. The haptic feedback on the device feels natural and not distracting at all. Android on Pixel devices is just easy to use, perhaps even more so that the other well known operating system. Call screen is one of my favorite features. It helps to avoid spam calls and is easy to use to interact with the caller. A VPN is included so you don’t need to pay for another VPN service. Android now has better controls of Ads and Privacy in the operating system. Google play store has clear statements on what apps have access to and info that they can request from you and your device Sound from speakers is just average. I don’t use the speakers often, but they are just OK for listening to music at a somewhat loud volume. I should note that while on calls as a speaker phone it had no problems. The phone is a bit heavy, but not considerably more than the competition. I’m OK with this because of the large screen. One last thing, the thermometer. I’m just not sure why this feature is included. It doesn’t (yet) work on people, and even if it did I’m not sure that I would use it. Overall, if you are looking for an Android device, this is it. The operating system is intuitive and easy to use. The hardware design is perfect and unique. The cameras are amazing. The software has useful features, and can be as advanced or as simple as you like.

Google Pixel 8 is definitely a phone worth looking into . It's more affordable than most top tier phones in the market today. You get lots of features that otherwise would cost you much more with other companies. I have used an older pixel before and I was impressed but after some time I felt the quality wasn't there and the few exclusive features were played out on it. The pixel 8 pro got redesigned no more curved glass, bright and I mean a very bright screen . I'm not even using it to max brightness on sunny days . I love the material used on the phone no fingerprint on the back and the design overall is very pleasing. Calls sounded clear and the people can hear me even with background noise on my end. Definitely the new google tensor processor paired with the Google AI is the key to this phone. I was shocked at some of the other hardware , like the cameras, sensors and etc. Usually other companies use better ones, but as I saw my videos and photos they look the same or even better. In no way I feel the phone was rushed because the software is where the phone outshines where there are supposed to be flaws. Google AI just works well on everything in this phone. Because I took the photo I'm looking at the screen and wasn't too impressed. What I didn't know is googles software fixes what I saw wrong and you really need to see it in person to understand. The photo was enhanced. Even the ones I took in the with barely any light were better. Post editing on the pixel 8 pro is top notch. I don't need to download another editing software I just use the one already built in. Remove items or even move them around I'm like this is included in the phone??? I recorded my trip on the bike while moving I thought it would be bland cuz that's what I'm seeing on the screen , but once I open the video it looks Soo much better and editing it to my liking is a plus . I literally think that the other companies are going to have a problem catching up software wise . Watching TV shows and movies was exceptional after I turned on the smooth display. For some reason it's off and keeps the screen at 1080p .

Like the phone. Some of the controls are more conversations on my pixel 3

There was a dead pixel right in the center of the screen, interestingly only visible as a permanent red pixel when refresh rate dropped down to 1 to save battery. Did not see any menaingful improvement over 7 pro at all. It did not feel faster, same memory issues were there, software felt rushed not optimized. Most importantly battery life was not any better. Returned the device, picked up an iphone, never looked back, cant believe after 8 iterations of cellphone making google still cant prevent quality control issues and deliver a reliable device.

Love the phone functions, only complaint is the battery drains quickly.

Love the phone ,upgraded fom a 7 pro and what a difference.

Got 8 pro on good trade in value on 7 pro from best buy. Only on best buy.

This Phone was great, it took amazing pictures and the display was awesome. Then it took a turn for the worst. the phone stopped working, no network, no wifi, then started shutting off and freezing at random times. now the phone wont even turn on. had for under a year.

Good phone for the most part, but the battery life is only ok.

UI can be improvised and much similar to previous android versions

Great phone no problem with it. Good call quality and responsive.

Just ok nothing special, although it's a very solid overall phone. Just don't expect much.

Performs as expected. The new AI festures are fun to explore.

Good phone. Great quality. Nice features. Confortable phone.
