Known screen issues, do not get this phone

DBHURT . 6 months 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

dreevans . 6 months ago

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.

Specs

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

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

The WORST quality device that I've ever owned!

Ross1987 . 6 months 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 . 8 months 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 but not great

RChan . 10 months ago

the battery gets heat up quick when multiple apps are running. face id works well.

Good upgrade from my Pixel 6

Michelle . 10 months 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.

Unbelievable

TUTORIAL

Margeo . 10 months ago

Upgraded big time, first time smart phone. It is VERY complicated if you have no idea where yo start. Doubt i will ever use all features. A GOOD ON LINE TUTORIAL WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL

Terrible phone, screen had lines in it after 3 months

lpr180 . 10 months ago

The phone looks great and seems like it would be a good phone. It has a problem with the screen that Google is aware of (very common problem) but instead of fixing it they lied and said I damaged the phone outside of warranty terms. Never been dropped and it had no visible damage when I sent it to them. Avoid Google all together if this is how they treat their customers.
