Google Pixel 8 – Unlocked Android Smartphone with Advanced Pixel Camera, 24-Hour Battery, and Powerful Security – Obsidian – 128 GB: The Ultimate Smartphone Experience

The Google pixel 8 is great. The camera is amazing. So much you can do with pictures on this phone . I have the 7 and the 8 is way cooler. I bought it as a gift. They love this phone so much.

Got it on sale for $499. Wife has an iPhone 15, and the Pixel 8 beats it just about everywhere except battery life. Still great battery life, but Apple is just better with that. Photos here are exceptional, in keeping with past Pixels. Great build quality, the super bright display is a joy to behold and the system haptics are about the best I’ve had on a phone. It’s a great size if you’re like me and prefer smaller devices – and it’s lightweight. It looks slick and very smart in Hazel, though sometimes it looks gray or gunmetal or blue which all are quite nice honestly! This is one helluva phone and the best non-Pro they’ve ever made. Great job Google!

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!!
