[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was amazed at the picture quality this phone takes. I feel like the phone speakers are improved for previous models. Calls and screen were in HD with no issues. I highly recommend this phone

Amazing tech!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I switched from a Samsung Galaxy s20 to the Google pixel 8 courtesy of a free product from influenster. This phone seems definitely like an upgrade, but there are some new features I really love. My biggest thing was that past phones all had the battery life decline. One of my favorite features of the Google pixel 8, which might be part of other phones as well, is the adaptive charging. When I set an alarm for 7:00 a.m. and plug my phone in overnight, it slowly charges to have 100% battery by 7:00 a.m.. The slow charge supposedly reduces the damage on battery life. It's nice to know it's extending the battery life and I will still always wake up with 100% battery.
I've noticed other cool features like swiping left to go back, but the settings are also very easily changed to what works best for me. I'm writing this using voice to text and that is a game changer. Again, found in many other phones, but it seems more accessible and improved in the Google pixel 8. Since this was free for testing, I cannot speak to the price of the phone, but I was looking to upgrade to a pixel as my next phone regardless, due to the high performance and lower cost than other brands. It was very easy to switch my data and storage to the new phone using Gmail and other Google features. The camera automatically switches settings, which is good for me because I am not a camera pro. The quality of the camera seems great, but again I might not be the best person to judge that feature.
Really easy fingerprint detection, and an increased sensitivity option if you're using a screen protector!

The perfect balance
on January 22, 2024
Posted by: frag_addict_86
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is the top of the line when you want a great phone, But not spending you hard earned money for those flagship ones. The battery lasted threw the day with alot left over and charging was quick. The camera was up there with others in its line. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but for a balanced phone for half the the competitions price tag.

Takes great pictures
on January 29, 2024
Posted by: golden_girl_reviews
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone works pretty well. I am used to Andoid phones, so it is definitely taking some time to get used to this Google phone. The camera on this phone works well. Great feature for taking self-education by waving your hand in front of the camera and setting a timer. The phone is bigger than the Samsung S23 that I had, so it is very bulky in comparison.

Intuitive. Sleek. Great Camera.
on March 20, 2024
Posted by: as1111
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I currently used an Android so I found Pixel to be very untuitive. Setting up the phone was easy...just follow steps on the screen. Transferring data from one phone to another was quick.
My primary use for phones is texting, photos, and social media. I had no issues with any of those features aside from photos. I can only get 2 ratios for taking pictures. It won't allow me to take square photos which I opt for the most. Otherwise, the camera is quite nice with various editing features.
Battery life is on par with my S22. Lasts a few days with minimal use or a couple days with regular use.
The design itself is sleek and easy to hold. I do wish the power button was more midl8ne as that's where I'm used to using it. I also wish there was a back button vs swiping.
Overall, I do plan on switching service providers soon so the Pixel will come in handy. I don't think I'll have issues getting fully used to it aside from the couple of issues outlined above.
