Pixel 8 is not a good phone for performance at all, even the camera is good not the best, in today's world basic performance is mandatory like there shouldn't be lag and glitch in basic performance but my experience with pixel 8 is very bad even in basic tasks like social media apps, forget about games and all, phone is designed for none, not the best camera, worst performance and overheat even when in idle condition. One more thing i don't like the touch of the display sometimes its very unresponsive even after enabling the protector mode btw i dont use protector. Conclusion is pixel 8 is not worth buying you will be frustrated.

      Love how it takes it upon itself to lower brightness and then act like it is at full brightness. It's a known glitch, battery saver, everything is off and yet it still controls my own phone itself. Also have issues googling things, won't let me type if I have already searched once I have to exit out of Google then try again. There's several glitches I wish I never got this pos phone.

              This is the worst phone I have ever had. It takes forever to charge,it cuts people off while talking to them. Can't wait for the contract to be up. A load of rubbish.

                I likes the phone,very good and fast OS (my opinion) and the camera Is just great.But the overheating!Too hot even performing basic tasks,and,of course the overheating causes worse battery life,even though i don't play games or use the phone much in general,It's still a bit noticeable.

                    I bought Google Pixel 8 set one and half months ago. After one and half month the set was suddenly shutdown (closed automatically) and tried several times to "on" never on. I have bought through Flipkart online shopping, India. The warranty period of Flipkart was crossed however the Googles warranty time for repair is for 1 year. Now I am in dilemma how does it solved?

                      I bought one on the basis of the great reviews. It seems like none of the reviewers actually tried to transfer data from a previous phone. I tried four times to transfer (non-Google but available on Google Play) apps from my Android to my new Pixel 8. Despite Pixel's online help indicating that it can be done - it apparently can't, as 90 minutes with 5 different agents confirmed - you have to download all the apps again via Google Play. Well stuff that - my new phone will be back on Ebay tomorrow.

                          Used a pixel 8 from January till August when the hardware showed lines and green screen.And I brought to shop to fix it in warranty
                          I know I got one of the bad batch but the overall experience was disaster.
                          Never again a pixel phone.
                          For the price you can have 2 better phones.
                          Battery overheating, not lasting 6 hours, screen problems, camera was better my p30 pro huawei, lags. Also didn't liked the keyboard. Really pissed off at the point that after 3 weeks I got back the phone"a new one" and I sold to first Chinese shop on the way.
                          No more Google phone for me ever

                                  The battery life of P8 really sucks, if fully on Wifi, yes it lasts much longer, but if you are on 4G/5G connectivity, confirm that you will need to charge another round for further usage. Yes, you can charge it, and when you found the charging speed is that slow, imagine how crazy is that. Overall, everything perform good except the suck battery life.

                                    Basically, your paying only to get good cameras and long updates.
                                    I'll pass.

                                      Fairly poor battery life, given the its' capacity. Getting much better from a 3900 mAh S23. It's the modem, really. Samsung's 5300 modems just aren't that great.

My pixel 6 had great connectivity for about a 16 months then it turned into complete trash. I had to constantly toggle on and off airplane mode to get a cellular connection and even then getting reliable 5G was next to impossible, I altered the settings to use LTE due to this. The modem in the 6 is known to be inferior and have connection issues. Had zero issues with the 8 so far, just hoping that continues.
