- Poor quality control
I wanted to like this phone and there's much to admire about it.
The showstopper is the screen: they designed it without grounding it properly, so it shorts out occasionally and creates a hazy green screen. That's a no go.
Otherwise it's a decent phone: pretty good processing power (mostly, see below), good battery, excellent sound, good reception (5G/4G/Wi-Fi). The cameras are pretty good as well. The phone stays mostly cool.
Certain apps don't work well with the Pixel 8, unfortunately. A few games and apps stutter badly, possibly because of the Tensor chip.
For me, this phone has been disappointing, in spite of many good things about it.Pros- Bright screen

This is my third Pixel, and I don't think I'll ever go back to another brand of phone. I had the 3a and 5 before, but with this 8, I finally felt what it's like to have a phone without any weaknesses. The only downside is the battery, but I knew it wouldn't bother me since I have access to a power outlet almost all day. The camera has blown me away, as you'd expect from a Pixel, and the operating system is simply the best... in short, it's perfect. One of the last great little flagships, I love it.

Even though I bought it with a stripe on the display, it leaves a good impression, thanks to its compact body, sound, vibration, cameras, and battery life. It doesn't get hot, as most users report. The battery easily lasts 7 hours SOT at 120Hz. I strongly recommend disabling the enhanced HDR brightness feature, as it reduces battery life (4 hours SOT) and is useless except in bright sunlight.
Pros- Autonomy
- Cameras
- Compact body
- Connection
- AI functionality
Cons- A streak appears easily
- The frame is scratched
- Ultra-wide
