Multiple reviewers appreciate its lightweight and comfortable grip, making it ideal for users with smaller hands or who prefer not to carry a bulky device.

Should I Buy It?

If you're in the market for a high-quality, mid-priced Android smartphone that offers an excellent camera, portability, and a user-friendly interface, the Google Pixel 8 is a compelling choice. However, if long battery life and a premium selfie camera are your non-negotiables, you might want to consider other options.


  • Very fine performance from underrated Pixel
Size: 256 GB Style: Pixel 8 Color: Rose
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. ... show more

  • Nice Phone
Size: 128 GB Style: Pixel 8 Color: Obsidian
My Pixel 5a died after only 3 years but I still wanted to stay with Pixel phones. I found this Pixel 8 still at the Black Friday sale price so I bought it. When I first started the phone the battery had to be charged and when I did the phone heated up, but after I downloaded all of the updates for the phone the heat issue disappeared. It seems to stay cool when watching videos too. I like all the improvements they made since the pixel 5 series. The battery lasts me a few days since I usually don't use it that much. I have the battery optimization set to only charge to 80% so it will last longer. Screen is beautiful. I'm surprised how fast this phone starts after being shut off. This phone is a big improvement over the 5a in my opinion. ... show more

  • Probably one of the best Androids on the market.
Size: 256 GB Style: Pixel 8 Pro Color: Obsidian
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. ... show more

  • Best android experience and 7 years of updates
Size: 256 GB Style: Pixel 8 Color: Obsidian
Used to be a big OnePlus fan but then they lost sight of what made them special and tried going for the premium market. I received a Pixel 6a through work and loved the camera and software but that device is under powered, has poor battery life and overheats. Not so with the Pixel 8 series. This seems to be the first version since the 6 where the battery life is acceptable and the phone doesn't overheat just looking at the screen. My wife's pixel 7a constant has a message about getting too hot but I never see that on the Pixel 8. I also love that it will be getting 7 years of updates since I dont buy a new phone every year or 2. This means I can wait until the pixel 10 or 11 and hopefully by then Google will actually have a decent processor. Don't buy this phone to play games or Beat benchmark scores. The pixel 8 gives you the pure Google experience with top of class photo features, ai features like circle to search, and call screening and spam detection. I opted for the 256GB storage and am a out half full after 1.2 years. It also pairs nicely with my Pixel Watch 1. ... show more
