This smartphone feels amazing in hands and coming from a 6.55″ block, it is like a day and night in weight and size. It fits very well my pockets. The screen is pretty smooth, Pixel UI is very clean and minimalistic, without all the nonsense and infinite options that characterize chinese Ui like Miui or ColorOs. Color otherwise is kind of dull, not vivid and there isn’t too much options to change. Camera is Amazing and I see why Pixels compete hand to hand with Iphone; my device basically saved our Christmas diner photo since the Iphone couldn’t so much back lighting while the Pixel got an outstanding photo with just one click. Everything feels smooth, especially at 120 Hz but even at 60, it feels greats. Google photo AI editor, magic eraser and noise eraser are amazing tools, I could even use magic editor to erase some numbers from an image for a University project. Now the bad parts about this phone: Chip isn’t the most efficient, sometimes it even gets hot easily with minimal tasks, and even worse when using LTE (not 5g since in my country that technology isn’t working). I can easily see the difference in battery health when using data instead wifi. without battery saver,this device will lasts like 4 or 5 hours. It is so underwhelming since this is the only way to e joy the 120 Hz refresh rate. With battery saver, things get better and you can accomplish like 6 to 8 hours, but by dimming the phone capabilities.finally the worst part of this phone is the lacking 27w to charge which basically take between 1.5 hours to 2. It is so disappointing that a 2023 Smartphone charges so slowly and with a horrible barrery management your battery depletes like water ins hands. Just to look at the screen You’ve already lost 1%. So I would recommended this device just to people who prioritizes camera over battery and performance and those who can live with a charger 24/7 (charger not included ????).

I did a LOT of research on the latest Android smartphones before settling on one that had the best features for my budget. I REFUSE to pay $1000 or more for a quality smartphone; with that being said, I’ve had my share of cheap, low-budget smartphones, and you literally get what you pay for when you opt for an inexpensive budget smartphone: Hiccups and glitches galore. This time around, I decided to “upgrade” and get a phone that would last for more than two years without making me want to chuck it across the room every time it froze or glitched. I think the Google Pixel 8 phone will be one I will hold on to for a while, provided I don’t drop it hard enough to destroy it as I’ve done a couple of times with my low-budget phones, lol! Not only do I like the look, features, and quality of the Google Pixel 8, I absolutely LOVE the fact that it’s a fairly small phone, as smartphones go. I have small hands and didn’t want a large phone that is more difficult to hold on to while using, AND Pixel 8 fits comfortably in my pockets or a small purse. I also take a LOT of pics, and Google Pixel 8 has one of the best cameras around. Of course, price was indeed an issue for me, and I wanted a high quality phone without the high quality price–the Pixel 8 fits the bill perfectly. Although its cousin, the Pixel 8 Pro, is rated higher and has an even better camera, that extra “high quality” comes with a heftier price tag as well. Even though the Pixel 8 Pro is also priced below $1000, it’s still more than I was willing to pay at this point. I opted for the less expensive Pixel 8 (around $500) and thus far, I am very satisfied with my purchase. With the YEARS of updates promised, the mid-range price, and smaller size, I believe I’ve made a good investment. Hopefully, I will still feel the same beyond two years from now. So far, I recommend!!

Picked up this Pixel 8 phone for $749, and it included a bundled pair of Pixel Pro earbuds for that price. (Yes, you can get the phone cheaper now, but my old phone was dying). Considering this thing is 1/2 the price of an iPhone (or less), it’s a terrific deal. The camera is amazing. The AI features are crazy. I love Google Search, being able to draw a circle around anything on the screen and do a search on it. Battery life is VERY good. TikTok, Instagram, FB, etc. don’t seem to make a huge dent. Good 5G reception on T Mobile network, fast wifi speeds. I use my phone as a WiFi hotspot in our RV all the time, and the Pixel 8 provides good connectivity and WiFi speed for a Roku, iPad, etc. when we’re on the road. Regular OS updates have been coming out close together with new features, too. And works great with my Google ecosystem (Chrome, Nest, Home, etc.). Fingerprint reader in-screen is a little finicky if your finger is wet/damp, or very cold. That’s my only real complaint. I got the 256gb model because T Mobile only offered the 128gb phone at the T Mobile store/website. Thanks for a great deal on a great phone, Amazon!

Having been a loyal Google Pixel user for the past five years, I recently upgraded to the Google Pixel 8, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision – especially at this all time low price.
Firstly, let me express my admiration for the Pixel 3a, which has served me exceptionally well over the years. Its standout feature, the battery life, has remained remarkably robust, still performing at around 90% of its original capacity after five years of use – a testament to Google’s commitment to quality.
Now, onto the Pixel 8. What immediately struck me was the stunning improvement in screen performance, especially in direct sunlight. The enhanced visibility makes using the phone outdoors a breeze, and it’s a significant upgrade from the Pixel 3a.
Moreover, the overall experience with the Pixel 8 has been nothing short of delightful. The sleek design, smooth performance, and intuitive user interface continue to uphold Google’s reputation for delivering top-notch smartphones.
In summary, if you’re considering an upgrade, the Pixel 8 is undoubtedly worth it. Highly recommended!

Still getting used to the phone. But have not run across anything negative, and am more than impressed with battery life, boot up time, and general response time. It will take a while however to train the owner
