My old Oneplus 9pro was a handmedown from my dad. It lasted a while, all the way from when it came out. Still not very slow, battery life was definitely lacking on that thing.But this 100% feels like an upgrade. That old phone only went up to Android 13, while this one came with 14. Snapchat makes proper use of the Android camera API for the pixel, so my photos look wayyyy more crisp on this phone. The camera on this phone is a bit meh in comparison to the oneplus I had, but the macro lens is pretty amazing on this phone.I use bitwarden and it would almost never autofill on my oneplus, but this autofills on every single app I’ve tried, the app integration and amount of random little QoL features are amazing.I’m not a fan of the default home launcher, but after installing lawn chair 14, I have way more customizability and I was able to really make this phone feel like my own.The battery life is wonderful, I was a bit worried that it wouldn’t have much because it’s not the “pro” version of the phone but it lasts me ~1.5 days with pretty regular usage. Even while using the 120hz display.The size feels way more comfortable than the the massive oneplus, and I’m honestly glad I didn’t get the 8 pro. I have pretty big hands, I don’t know who they’re making these huge phones for. If you want to watch movies with a large screen, just get a cheap tablet. This is for messaging and day-to-day usage, and it works perfectly for that. It feels comfortable in the pocket too, paired with the Mous case I bought for it. This phone does everything I need it to, and I have almost no complaints.

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.

I upgraded to this phone from my Samsung s10e. I was in between this s24 and the pixel 8 during my research. I eventually chose the pixel 8 because of the camera quality and the stock android software experience. I was hesitant at first because of the chipset and heating issues but I am not a heavy gaming phone user so I decided to go the pixel route. After using it for a couple of months, I definitely do not regret the purchase. The camera quality, battery life, and the software experience are all ideal. I usually end the day with around 30% of battery remaining. While the phone does sometimes get warm, every phone brand also gets warm after some usage. The 120hz screen also feels very smooth. Yes, in terms of hardware and benchmark results it’s not the highest, but in real life usage the overall experience isn’t noticeable at all and sometimes I feel like it’s a marketing tactic from other brands. Yes it’s not ideal for gaming, but there are other phone brands that specially make gaming phones. I definitely recommend this phone for people that want a decent phone for everyday browsing, streaming media, and a high quality camera.

This camera is absolutely stunning. It takes good night time pictures as well. The sound quality is great and clear. The size of the phone is also very apt and it’s not a very bulky phone which I thought initially. Haven’t faced any lags so far and battery life is really great. It’s worth the price. The gray color is also very classy!

Since Google produces the phone, it is no surprise that it has nearly all the features of Chrome. When you move the phone it comes to life.Transferring all of your applications and data from your old phone is a snap. It is wireless and took less than 30 minutes for a complete transfer of all files and applications including my wallpaper. I’m still learning some of the features and gestures to optimize my use, but it all seems very logical.

So far I’m enjoying the phone. It takes excellent pictures and the camera app opens so fast. Much better than the s22u I came from, so I’m very happy about that. My only problem is the ram management isn’t the best, it keeps closing my apps. I wish there was an option like Samsung to use some of the ssd as ram. Battery life is better than the s22u I came from and it looks great too. I also love the fingerprint sensor as it’s more snappy and and actually works vs my Samsung.

I’ve been using this phone for ~1.5 months and have had no issues whatsoever. Shipping was fast and phone came as described (brand new and unlocked). Very happy with this purchase ($250 off normal price) and seller!

I don’t buy a new phone very often, but I had some cheap crappy AT&T phone they forced me in to when they upgraded to 5 g about a year ago. I was always frustrated trying to do anything on it. So I broke down and bought the Google Pixel pro 8 and I am in love with it!! So worth the money.

Been using Google phones since the original Pixel, so it was no suprise for me to love this phone. Good call quality, amazing sound for audio and video files, picture quality in video chat is crystal clear (so I’m told by people on the receiving end).Worked right out of the box, after switching over my SIM card. No issues whatsoever with it being unlocked.

New in the box. It was easy to transfer data from my old phone. I do wish it came in different colors. I wanted a white one but that’s only for a Pixel Pro
