good but not great

RChan . 26 days ago

the battery gets heat up quick when multiple apps are running. face id works well.

Good upgrade from my Pixel 6

Michelle . 27 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I like the size, smaller than the Pixel 6. Fits in my hand and pockets better which prevents me from dropping it. I also bought a Peel case for it which is a great pairing to keep it slim and fit in small pockets as well. Response to my fingerprint is better through the privacy screen protector than my previous Pixel 6. The profile of the camera is smaller as well which is nice. The incline the Pixel 6 had made it slip and slide on tables, so it was always a risk to put it down face up. Pixel quality remains top for me.

Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Average battery life during testing was approximately 31 hours. Battery testing conducted on a major carrier network. Battery testing conducted in California in mid 2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.

Specs

It's easy to switch to Pixel.

There’s no other phone like the Pixel. It’s a smarter smartphone that delivers custom help, whenever and wherever you need it. It comes with all of your favorite Google Apps, and it gets innovative new features over time. No matter what phone you’re switching from, you can transfer contacts, messages, photos, and apps to your Pixel in a few simple steps – and it only takes about 30 minutes.¹⁶

Amazing photos and videos, without a doubt.

The Pixel Camera is fully upgraded and has advanced image processing to reveal vivid colors and striking details in any light. It records sharp, smooth videos with clear audio, even in crowded, dimly lit places. With Macro Focus, the smallest subjects can become spectacular images. Audio Magic Eraser can make distracting noises – like cars or wind – disappear from your videos.⁶ Use Magic Editor to change a photo’s background, move a subject, and add custom edits and Pixel’s Best Take combines similar photos into one fantastic shot.⁷

Do more, even faster.

Built with Google AI, Pixel 8 gives you extra help throughout your day. Circle to Search with Google lets you search anything right from the app you’re in. Just draw a circle around an image, text, or video and Google AI finds it fast.⁸ Translate languages on the spot.⁹ Avoid spammers and see who’s calling and why.¹⁰ And Gemini can help you brainstorm ideas or summarize emails for you.¹¹

TUTORIAL

Margeo . 1 month ago

Upgraded big time, first time smart phone. It is VERY complicated if you have no idea where yo start. Doubt i will ever use all features. A GOOD ON LINE TUTORIAL WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL

Terrible phone, screen had lines in it after 3 months

lpr180 . 1 month ago

The phone looks great and seems like it would be a good phone. It has a problem with the screen that Google is aware of (very common problem) but instead of fixing it they lied and said I damaged the phone outside of warranty terms. Never been dropped and it had no visible damage when I sent it to them. Avoid Google all together if this is how they treat their customers.

This phone is eveything I could want. The advanced technology makes rverything easy to use and, the picture quality is terrific

Not impressed

SShambrock . 2 months ago

It freezes periodically the keyboard won't work or I can't swipe to next page. I usually have to restart for it to work again. Keyboard also very sensitive on each side, when doing crossword puzzles it'll exit the game out of the blue if you touch far right or far left... Weird

Great, but smaller than older models

PixelMike . 2 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Much smaller than my Pixel 6 and not enough new features to make me feel like the upgrade was worth it. That being said, I loved everything about the pixel 6 and these two have been interchangeable, save for the aforementioned size issue.
