## Description

Meet Pixel 8, the helpful phone engineered by Google. It has an amazing camera, powerful security, and an all-day battery.[5] With Google AI, you can do more, even faster – like fix photos, screen calls, and get answers.[1,13] And it has personal safety features for added peace of mind.[7]

Review: Perfect for my switch away from the iPhone - I’ve been a very long time iPhone user - since the iPhone 5 era! - and a few months ago I grew tired of it all. The Pixel series of devices is the perfect antidote - performant enough for everything I want to do with amazing long term software support and great photography capabilities. Personally, I don’t game or use a bunch of AI on my phone but from what I heard in general the Pixels are not the best for gaming but really great at the AI stuff (especially if you use Gemini). Initially I tried a Pixel 9a, and it was great, but it felt just as unwieldily as an iPhone. But once I got my hands on the Pixel 8 it was sheer perfection! Despite not being that much smaller, it fits perfectly in my hands and is a joy to hold thanks to the curved sides. Thanks to the size and shape I have little fear of dropping it. Battery life is good - I charge it about every 3 days, but take that with a grain of salt as I’m also a comparatively light user in terms of actual screen-on time. I mostly make calls, listen to music, and will sometimes send a few text messages. A big deal in getting one of these for me is that it is not only carrier unlocked, but also boot loader unlocked. So, I’m currently running GrapheneOS on it. And another big win is that replacement parts are easy to find and affordable, so making it last it’s entire supported lifespan shouldn’t be hard at all :) I absolutely love it and couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a well made, long term supported phone with plenty of software and repairability options.
Review: Very fine performance from underrated Pixel - First off, I confess to being a Pixel 4a fanatic. To my mind, it is the single best Android phone ever, given the price point, sleek dimensions, and durability. After four years of use, my darling Barely Blue 4a was still going strong. If it were up to me, I would have continued to use it until it would run no more. Alas, as with all things business nowadays, it has a usable lifespan that is shorter than its little-phoone-that-could heart. Google stopped providing security updates for it in August 2023, and I will not wade into the hatchet job the company effected from afar on Pixel 4a users through a forced battery software retool in January 2025. Luckily for me, my 4a was not among the Impacted Devices that imploded after Google's sneaky move. Still, the battery had already degraded, and the battery "fix" meant that it lost power sooner. My 4a is still fine as a backup phone, and I will use it that way going forward. In any case, I had purchased this Pixel 8 over the holidays, after being unimpressed by the Pixel 9 series phones at the significantly higher pricetag. No phone will rival the 4a in my heart (though perhaps the Pixel 5 was close enough), but this is now the most compact feature-laden phone I could find. The Pixel 8a is quite close, and I nearly chose that, but the 8 has significant upgrades that made it worthwhile, particularly as I actually paid less for it than sale prices on the 8a. The Pixel 8 has a sharp screen, snappy performance, and on the tweaks I care about, without any of the pricey additions that do not matter to me. Certainly the screen is brighter, the processor a tad faster, and the battery a bit beefier on the 9 series, but not enough to distract me from my wallet's contentment with the 8's pricetag. The fingerprint reader is a disappointment, particularly coming from the effortless 4a back-of-the-phone version, but again, not worth several hundred dollars more to me for the upgrade. This phone has guaranteed security updates through fall of 2030, smooth scrolling, all the great Pixel camera perks and none of the silly gimmicks. Although the 9a is just around the corner, I am quite content to sit with my Pixel 8 until someone wises up to the niche of folks who want a small (as in 4a size) phone with many but not all of the bells and whistles, or until I give up and purchase another phone with enough to offer to make it worth my while.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great phone at a reasonable price
*by D***N on August 10, 2025*

I really like just about everything about this phone. The screen is large and high resolution with a sharp image. It takes great pictures and has more options than I need. Being a Pixel, it always gets the latest Android version and doesn't have extra bloatware. I love using Google Lens on it to translate foreign language text. It can cast the screen to any device that supports it, and likewise for playing music. The processor is powerful enough to run graphics-intensive games, but it gets quite warm in the process. The only issue I've run into is when I tried to connect an external monitor via USB-C, it only worked in screen copy mode and not desktop mode like you can on a Samsung device (using DeX). Android 15 has it partly implemented, so I'm hoping it will be fixed in the next update.
