    Love the new phone. The screen refresh and brightness is a step up for the 6a. Better battery life than the 6a, too.

    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.

    What can I say? The best mid-range phone out there except for the 9a which is not available yet and may have better connectivity with a change in the modem chip. Great camera and software

    Great no frills phone! My first Android and I'm loving it! It's thin and light which is great, and I'm enjoying exploring the Android operating system. I only gave it four stars because its a pretty basic phone, and doesn't have the greatest camera. The battery typically only lasts a day for me as well.

    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.

    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.

    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.
