I’m not a Cell Phone status freak
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.

Probably one of the best Androids on the market.
Thankfully technology and smart phones have reached a point that is so high that it’s achievable to be a great phone if the manufacturer is willing to invest in it’s product and Google has done that here; anyone that requires more, there is no pleasing you…. This is a phone to hang onto for the long run which was the main reason I bought this. Goes great with a leather wallet case and privacy glass screen protector. It also has wireless charging but I don’t think I’ll ever use that feature, and it gives the option to wirelessly charge other devices. This phone works better than other peoples PCs IMO. Well worth the investment. Also, it has a feature to use “normal” screen color shades or “vivid” color shades and its beautiful. Probably the best Android phone on the market. I also bought this phone refurbished and it’s like a brand new phone(don’t think people understand someone could open & close a box and thats what makes it “used” for becoming refurbished), sold and shipped by Amazon for 50% off the full price. My previous phone was from 2018.Pros: Water resistant, comes with Google photo editing for free, loads of actual useful security features, amazing camera, nice weight, feels like high quality, AMAZING stereo speakers(sounds like it has a bass speaker inside too and it sounds nice), awesome screen, customizable battery saving mode to disable/enable apps(very nice).Cons: its not invincible, battery only lasts 1.5 days without battery saver mode on, can’t extract moister from the air to give me a sip of water?….idk, cant imagine what more I need a phone to do at this point.

From Oneplus 9Pro to Pixel 8, Massive Upgrade
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.

Almost perfect, but falls short.
(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!

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 leÃdo 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 aguantarÃa un buen rato con las actualizaciones. no ha llegado ni Android 15 y ya no funciona al 100% y eso que esta super cuidado.
