Ticks all the boxes.
A fantastic smartphone that offers a great balance of speed, efficiency, and battery life - however, the battery with its small capacity is definitely the weakest point of this phone. It has a gorgeous 6.2-inch display, a powerful Tensor G3 chip and a camera that consistently takes stunning photos - It may not have a fancy lenses from Leica but the software behind the photo processing is incredible and the results are fantastic. The 8 is also incredibly secure, with a robust security system that will keep your personal data safe. I'm confident that my information is well-protected when I'm using this phone. I have switched from Xiaomi 13 and the switch itself was a breeze - initially its doable over the wifi, but the content transfer (photos, videos, etc) been done via the usb-c cable, as you can see at the attached photo. I've noticed, the phone gets a mixed reviews but it may come from the fact, that people don't know how to use all the features. Personally I think it one of the best phones currently available, may compete with the flagships but costs a fraction.The only downsides are the smaller battery and slower charging speed, but these are minor issues compared to the Pixel 8's overall 'awesomeness'. If you're looking for an android smartphone that doesn't mess around, the Google Pixel 8 is the way to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best in class
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2024
Colour: HazelSize Name: 128GBStyle Name: Pixel 8Verified Purchase
After using the phone over a week now I can summarize my experiences as:

- Google's software is probably one of the optimized Android however, the hardware is not the best in class. Camera quality and battery charging speed could have been improved.

- While comparing the software with its peers, it lacks some AI features like live call translate which I would say is a really smart feature provided you travel in different parts of the world.

- I have seen the camera to struggle while shooting some video that too only in 1080p, 30fps but most of the time it was fine. Low light videography is always challenging for any camera and this is not an exception.

This phone is very good.

The screen is super quality.

Battery life is impressive.

The cameras take fantastic photos.

Has fewer annoying preinstalled apps compared to other phones, and Android 14 that this phone runs on is great. The user interface is easy and intuitive.

I like the relatively compact size too.

I've yet to find something about this phone that I don't like!

1.0 out of 5 stars Never been so disappointed with a mobile device in the last 10 years
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2024
Colour: HazelSize Name: 128GBStyle Name: Pixel 8Verified Purchase
I typically look forward to the event, once per 3 years , when I buy a new mobile phone. The Pixel 8 has serially disappointed on every front when replacing my old Oneplus 8 pro.
Awful / next to none usable shortcuts. On all the high volume services that you typically switch off/on regularly, none of these are available as a one touch option. When it comes to NFC, I have just given up.
The phone itself is ok, but fails to demonstrate 2024 best in design / manufacture detail v. phones from 3 to 4 years ago.
If you want a phone that is value for money, has the ability to still feel relevant in 2 years time, and is highly intuitive to use, the pixel 8 scores poorly on each of those.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great everyday phone
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2023
Colour: HazelSize Name: 128GBStyle Name: Pixel 8Verified Purchase
Honestly this is a great buy, its camera is fantastic, as is the screen. It's a fairly mid sized phone, so if you're used to larger ones (I had a Galaxy A32 before this, and its notably smaller than even that) it may take a while to get used to typing on the smaller available field.
My only note is the '24 hour' battery claim. If you're using it a lot during travel, such as bus or rail you'll be lucky to last 10 hours on one charge. If you're not excessively using it or using power hungry apps, you'll probably be fine there though.

Overall, a great mid-range phone for the price, especially if you don't want to splash out extra £££ for the Pro version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Akkuproblem???
Reviewed in Germany on 14 May 2024
Colour: HazelSize Name: 128GBStyle Name: Pixel 8Verified Purchase
Ich bin bisher sehr zufrieden mit dem Pixel8. Recht handliche Größe, super Kamera, super Display (Helligkeit) und Updates bis 2030!!! Auch über den Akku kann ich im Vergleich zu anderen Rezensenten nicht meckern. Unter der Woche wenn ich arbeite und nicht so viel mit dem Smartphone mache außer Mails checken, Bahn-App und auch mal ein paar YouTube Videos ansehe sowie bei Amazon vorbeischaue hält der Akku locker 3 Tage. Habe auch keine Probleme mit dem Standby -Verbrauch. Über Nacht verliert der Akku bei Nichtgebrauch etwa 3-5 Prozent. In der Zeitschrift " Connect" wurde der Akku des Pixel 8 sogar als besonders ausdauernd bewertet. Ich weiß also nicht, woher die schlechten Akkubewertungen hier kommen. Eine so extreme Serienstreuung unter den Smartphones kann ich mir nicht vorstellen. Auch das aufladen des Akkus ist ok. Von 20% auf 100% braucht es etwa 50 Minuten (Tipp: wenn möglich im Flugzeugmodus aufladen, dann geht es schneller).

Busque y busque y fue lo mejor que encontré. Pensé que estaba más caro y tituvie. Pero es un excelente teléfono. Lo único que me llamo la atención es que tiene una sensibilidad al tacto diferente. Al principio en la pantalla pareciera de policarbonato porque se siente suave, pero al usarlo se siente diferente no tan rígido como los de gorilla glass que era lo que esperaba. La verdad estoy muy contento y confiado que Android aquí no me fallara por ser de Google.
Estoy muy satisfecho y lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Mi antiguo celular no estaba mal, pero la verdad es que no me gustaba como tomaba las fotos. Luego un día comenzó a apagarse de la nada y decidí que era tiempo de cambiar de celular. Encontré el pixel en descuento y me animé a comprarlo. Ya llevo más de un mes con él y la verdad es que cumple todas mis necesidades. Las fotos que toma están bastante bien, siempre y cuando no tengas que hacer mucho zoom, que tampoco es como que yo tome muchas fotos con zoom pero es un detalle a tener en cuenta. Lo único que sí siento un poco deficiente, es su desempeño en juegos. Yo normalmente juego Wild Rift, y no es como que durante las partidas tenga FPS inconsistentes, pero sí noto que después de un par de partidas ya está muy caliente, llegando a ser incómodo.

Zuerst: Ich bin Umsteiger und komme von einem Iphone 13, davor hatte ich ein Iphone 8. IOS ist zwar narrensicher, jedoch haben mich die Beschränkungen hinsichtlich der Individualisierung und der Datenübertragung generell gestört. Mal eben ein Video auf ein Iphone vom PC laden? Eher unmöglich.

Nun denn, zurück zu Android: beim Pixel 8 hat mich der langjährige Software Support von 7 Jahren erst mal schwer beeindruckt. Wobei sich natürlich fragen muss, ob der Akku überhaupt so lange mitmacht. Nun denn, den wird man höchstwahrscheinlich nach 3-4 einmal wechseln lassen müssen. Kostet normalerweise kein Vermögen.
Monatlich gibt es Android Software Sicherheitsupdates und alle 3 Monate irgendwelche Feature Updates.
Nicht schlecht.

Auf dem Smartphone ist keine Bloatware vorhanden, also keine unerwünschte "Werbesoftware", die das Handy vollmüllt.

Die Kamera macht erstklassige Bilder, dagegen sieht das Iphone 13 kein Land. Super Makro Funktion, geht automatisch sobald man näher ans Objekt herankommt.

Face Unlock funktioniert bei mir sehr gut bis hin zum Dämmerlicht. Nur selten benutze ich den Fingerabdruck Sensor. Dieser hat bisher eine Erfolgsquote von ca. 95% innerhalb der ersten halben Sekunde. Die restlichen 5 % muss man 2 mal drücken. Ich werde es höchstwahrscheinlich überleben.

Die Akkulaufzeit - bei einigen Rezensionen ein Kritikpunkt - hat sich nach 6 Wochen Nutzung bei ca. 1,5 Tagen eingependelt. Davon sind im Schnitt ca. 8 - 8,5 Stunden Display-On Zeit. Nutze Hauptsächlich Chrome, Firefox, Mail, Youtube, Whatsapp, ein paar Spiele zwischendurch, Kamera - das übliche Zeug halt.
Dabei wird das Gerät maximal handwarm.

Fazit bisher: Das war kein Fehlkauf, sondern eine erhebliche Verbesserung.
