    This was purchased to replace my wife's Pixel 4a. Towards the end the battery required frequent charging. She is overjoyed with this phone. Overall it was an easy transition to the Pixel 8. She is very appreciative of the battery life and the new processor. This is the fourth unlocked phone we have purchased from Best Buy. They will be our first stop when it is time to replace the next phone. The staff in the Paducah Kentucky store were very pleasant and helpful.

    Great phone for basic needs. I like that it's smaller than most phones. The phone could get hot quickly so keep it off and out of the heat.

    This is my first Pixel phone, previously I owned several Galaxy phones. I enjoy the Pixel for the size, camera and Google ecosystem. The battery leaves a lot to be desired. I am a light phone user with no games, social media or videos but the Pixel battery struggles mightily. I hope this improves or I learn ways to improve battery usage. I indicate I would recommend the phone but will allow the buyer to determine how important is the battery life.

    I've been using this phone since January (I'm writing this in June) and it's been fast and reliable. I've really liked it! I really like the blue color too.

    Amazing Budget Phone

    This phone is amazing for the price. I really like how it feels in the hand. Great build quality for the price. I love the camera and the 120 Hz display. So much. Buy it now. Or later. Probably will go on sale at some point. My only complaint is that 256GB should be the base storage. It's great that it's only $60 extra instead of $100 but it's 2024. Lots of budget phones come with 256GB these days.

    The Best Phone (Of the 2020s)

    The iPhone 6s still stands as the pinnacle of phone design, but by god is this a close second. Has the open-ended features of android, ompetent Google software, and at an affordable and reasonable price for a top-tier phone. Anyone telling you that you NEED an iPhone or a Samsung is delusional.

    This Pixel 8a works really well. It has a nice display, good battery life, and features that make it an overall great phone for the price. I previously had phones made by Apple and Samsung, and am still happy with what this mid-tier phone offers. I'm currently using on AT&T postpaid service with no complaints. One negative is that the phone charges slowly compared to what I'm familiar with.
