Verizon, Rose Gold is not Obsidian

Kristin · 2 months ago

Phone works great! The color that they sent was rose gold not Obsidian. What a great birthday present for my son?!!?!! Local Verizon store recognized that it was the wrong color and explained that the barcode associated with the phone was for the correct color (Obsidian), but they sent rose gold. They wanted to change it to a different phone and charge me more money per month. Verizon customer service wasn't much help...... just gave me the run around. I bought a phone case to cover up the rose gold, but it doesn't cover everything. After being a loyal customer for 19 years I'm making a plan to leave

Dont Waste your time or Money

snoopy42 · 5 months ago

I have owned the pixel 8 for 1 year and recently have been experiencing a green screen, turning the device unusable until the issue resolves. I did research on the issue and it is a known glitch with solutions available but you must experience certain terms in order for the repair to be approved....Save your time and money!

Average battery life during testing was approximately 31 hours. Battery testing conducted on a major carrier network.

Specs

undefined . 1 to 3 slides displayed

A stunning display with a fresh, modern design.

Pixel 8’s 6.2-inch high-resolution Actua display delivers sharp, vivid colors and rich detail.⁴ The refresh rate up to 120 Hz enables smoother gaming, scrolling, and switching between apps.⁵ And it’s beautifully designed with contoured edges, a satin finish, and stylish colors.

Amazing photos and videos, without a doubt.

The Pixel Camera is fully upgraded and has advanced image processing to reveal vivid colors and striking details in any light. It records sharp, smooth videos with clear audio, even in crowded, dimly lit places. With Macro Focus, the smallest subjects can become spectacular images. Audio Magic Eraser can make distracting noises – like cars or wind – disappear from your videos.⁶ Use Magic Editor to change a photo’s background, move a subject, and add custom edits and Pixel’s Best Take combines similar photos into one fantastic shot.⁷

Do more, even faster.

Built with Google AI, Pixel 8 gives you extra help throughout your day. Circle to Search with Google lets you search anything right from the app you’re in. Just draw a circle around an image, text, or video and Google AI finds it fast.⁸ Translate languages on the spot.⁹ Avoid spammers and see who’s calling and why.¹⁰ And Gemini can help you brainstorm ideas or summarize emails for you.¹¹

Powerful safety and security features.

With the Titan M2 security chip and Google Tensor G3, Pixel 8 is built with multiple layers of security to help keep your personal info safe.¹² Get proactive notifications about nearby hazards, like flooding, fire, or a tornado.¹³

Built to last.

Google Pixel’s Adaptive Battery can last over 24 hours – or up to 72 hours with Extreme Battery Saver.¹⁴ And it charges faster than ever.¹⁵ Plus, it comes with 7 years of new features and software updates thanks to Feature Drops that keep your device fresh, so you won’t have to keep getting a new phone.

It's easy to switch to Pixel.

There’s no other phone like the Pixel. It’s a smarter smartphone that delivers custom help, whenever and wherever you need it. It comes with all of your favorite Google Apps, and it gets innovative new features over time. No matter what phone you’re switching from, you can transfer contacts, messages, photos, and apps to your Pixel in a few simple steps – and it only takes about 30 minutes.¹⁶

Known screen issues, do not get this phone

DBHURT · 1 year ago

I'm on my 3rd replacement for this phone, my first two phones had the same screen issue. The screen will turn a fuzzy green color that gets worse to the point you can't see anything. Now that I've had this phone, I've learned it's a known issue and things haven't gotten better. Sure, it has gotten replaced, but the first phone only lasted 3 months, the first replacement lasted 5, I don't have high hopes for the new replacement. Save yourself the headache and get something else.

Display Issues - Stay AWAY from this Phone

Be aware that there are display issues that have intermittently popped up on this phone. Google fails to properly deal with this! It's a pity, because this is a great phone otherwise, but this is unacceptable.

The WORST quality device that I've ever owned!

Ross1987 · 1 year ago

I've had issues with receiving incoming calls and texts over a month, after HOURS & half dozen Verizon Reps, I am still here with a busted phone not getting incoming calls or even text messages. When doctors are unable to contact me it makes it a HUGE issue.

Ok liked my 5 better

Kbaker · 1 year ago

The camera is definitely an upgrade to the pixel 5. My biggest complaint is that the phone won't reconnect to WiFi when I return home or to a previously saved network. I have to restart the phone in order for it to pick up the wifi. I like the size of the phone. The facial recognition is good when it works. It loses my left hand finger print all the time and it's a pain where you store a new one so I quit adding it back.

Good upgrade from my Pixel 6

Michelle · 1 year ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I like the size, smaller than the Pixel 6. Fits in my hand and pockets better which prevents me from dropping it. I also bought a Peel case for it which is a great pairing to keep it slim and fit in small pockets as well. Response to my fingerprint is better through the privacy screen protector than my previous Pixel 6. The profile of the camera is smaller as well which is nice. The incline the Pixel 6 had made it slip and slide on tables, so it was always a risk to put it down face up. Pixel quality remains top for me.
