I use my phone 90% plus for business, I require performance in the areas that I need and don't give a flip (pun intended) about being admired (or whatever) because of the phone. -I need good battery life. -A screen bright enough to be easily seen outdoors in the sun -A fast processor for scrolling rapidly and -For speech to text, texting is used for business communication a lot and I mostly don't have the time or attention to thumb type a couple of hundred character text. Ditto emails. -ACCURATE speech to text. On some of my older phones I spent more time correcting that it would have to type in in the first place -Rapid learning speech to text. We use a lot of uncommon words in our work and need to have a phone that, when corrected a couple of times, "gets it" from then on. -A really good camera for business and personal. -Quick updates. Nobody but nobody gets new Android versions faster than Google. -Plenty of memory for my purposes. 128 gig is plenty for me. Any way, Pixel 8 has all that and more, it's an insane good deal for the $400 and change it cost me.

Play Video My S22 ultra was having screen line and other issues, and I was disappointed because the phone was just over 2 years old. I didn't have plans on getting a new phone, but I had no choice. I decided NOT to go back with a Samsung phone. So the PIXEL 8 PRO was my only option, hearing the good things about pixel phones and the cameras. After 2 weeks with the phone, this is my experience. Negatives: The selfie camera do take out good pictures and videos in good lighting but low light no so good. Rear cameras are better in the dark. Speakers are loud, but sounds a little flat to me. Positives: The form factor is nice, even tho a bit smaller than my s22 ultra. Fits perfect in the pocket. The UI is fluid and smooth, animations are nice. The Screen is nice, vivid and bright. The videos are way superior on the Pixel 8 pro, better stabilization, better colors, better zoom than my S22U. Post edit tools are a plus to adjust pics and vids to your preference. Magic eraser does work pretty nice. Cinematic photos are cool. Battery is good. I can go all day without a charge, with heavy usage. NO OVERHEATING issues like some people was saying. Overall, the phone is a great phone with strong cameras to compete with the best flagships in 2024. The only advantage my S22U has is the S-PEN other than that I'm good with the PIXEL 8 PRO. #TEAMPIXEL for life.

My old Oneplus 9pro was a handmedown from my dad. It lasted a while, all the way from when it came out. Still not very slow, battery life was definitely lacking on that thing. But this 100% feels like an upgrade. That old phone only went up to Android 13, while this one came with 14. Snapchat makes proper use of the Android camera API for the pixel, so my photos look wayyyy more crisp on this phone. The camera on this phone is a bit meh in comparison to the oneplus I had, but the macro lens is pretty amazing on this phone. I use bitwarden and it would almost never autofill on my oneplus, but this autofills on every single app I've tried, the app integration and amount of random little QoL features are amazing. I'm not a fan of the default home launcher, but after installing lawn chair 14, I have way more customizability and I was able to really make this phone feel like my own. The battery life is wonderful, I was a bit worried that it wouldn't have much because it's not the "pro" version of the phone but it lasts me ~1.5 days with pretty regular usage. Even while using the 120hz display. The size feels way more comfortable than the the massive oneplus, and I'm honestly glad I didn't get the 8 pro. I have pretty big hands, I don't know who they're making these huge phones for. If you want to watch movies with a large screen, just get a cheap tablet. This is for messaging and day-to-day usage, and it works perfectly for that. It feels comfortable in the pocket too, paired with the Mous case I bought for it. This phone does everything I need it to, and I have almost no complaints.

(4/5) After about 2 days of using, the best features of the Google Pixel 8 are: 1: One of the best cameras in the market. On top of being a great camera, any imperfections in photos are fixed by Google's AI software. 2: Amazing screen brightness & quality. The new OLED screen resolution and quality overall is one of the best I've seen in androids, definitely up there with the newest Galaxy S models. It can get very bright when you need it to and very dark. 3: The design/durability. Google is well known for their unique phone designs, and the Pixel 8 is no exception. Anybody looking at the phone will know it's a Pixel. The back is also scratch resistant and can handle major falls. An added plus on top of its 7 year software updates! Where it falls short: 1: It's G3 Tensor chip. Google has recently started developing their own phone chips, and the processing power in the G3 is good for a $600 phone. However, it unfortunately falls short of other flagship Samsung or Apple phones. It also tends to heat up a bit, but that's an added plus in winter time :) 2: It's battery life. The battery is decent, lasting about 7 - 8 hours of heavy use, but is again outraced by Samsung. Overall, the phone is perfect in its camera quality, durability/design, and new OLED screen. However, it falls behind in its battery and G3 powering chip. Fixing these 2 issues would make it the perfect phone!

Good phone for my kid.

Love Google phones so good to get a new color for a change

The phone is a great size and is super responsive. I read some reviews that said it runs hot, which I have not experienced. The only downside (which is minor) is a lack of audio jack. I've also found that Amazon is the only place I can find the Rose colour with the 256GB memory in stock. The fact it was also on sale is just gravy. Bonus points for the speedy, secure delivery.

The unit I receive works well with my Canada phone carrier's 4 LTE and 5G network. it does not have the issues mentioned in some of the reviews such as warmer than usual when charging, short operating time after a full charge. Photos taken are bright and crisp. I don't need to post-edit most of them. The only issue is touch screen sensitivity that sometimes I need to repeat the touching action before the desired action happens. I think it is more a matter of getting used to than an equipment issue.

Después de casi 11 Meses de uso y la pantalla se repente se pone verde e leído que es problema de fábrica y que hay que cambiarle el display. lo cual no es posible si ni un año lleva el móvil. en verdad buen teléfono pero con esa falla se supone que aguantaría un buen rato con las actualizaciones. no ha llegado ni Android 15 y ya no funciona al 100% y eso que esta super cuidado.
