Google Pixel 8 Pro - Unlocked Android Smartphone with Telephoto Lens and Super Actua Display - 24-Hour Battery - Porcelain - 128 GB

March 2024 update: Most software kinks worked out at this point, phone still feels fantastic to use. Definitely not the best battery life or most efficient processor, however it's still very fast and usable for everything, gaming included. Cameras really are spectacular - everyone I talk to loves the pictures I take with this phone. Good image processing too. List of pixel exclusive features keeps growing, definitely worth it for those. Idk what other people are doing when they are having issues getting their carrier to register on their phone - for me it took about 5 seconds during the setup process after transferring my SIM from my pixel 6 to the 8 pro, and it was all set. Phone is less of a toaster than my pixel 6, better cameras, feels faster - ill get back to this in a moment - better screen, lots of really cool software features that are worth spending the time to learn about. Does it actually feel faster? 100% yes - however you should remember that this is a brand new phone, and depending on what data you transfer over, it's going to take some time to "relearn" or recache your habits and such, so certain things are gonna load a little slow at first, but speed up a lot over time - this is expected behavior. Also keep in mind since it's still new, there are some bugs here and there that software updates will work out over time. I noticed a couple, nothing that majorly impacts my usage though. Overall, fantastic phone, really easy setup - esp if you had a pixel prior - I really like the shade of blue they used as well for the pro, good case choice can compliment it quite nicely. I do kind of wish the titanium was less shiny, but its not a big deal for me.

I really like just about everything about this phone. The screen is large and high resolution with a sharp image. It takes great pictures and has more options than I need. Being a Pixel, it always gets the latest Android version and doesn't have extra bloatware. I love using Google Lens on it to translate foreign language text. It can cast the screen to any device that supports it, and likewise for playing music. The processor is powerful enough to run graphics-intensive games, but it gets quite warm in the process. The only issue I've run into is when I tried to connect an external monitor via USB-C, it only worked in screen copy mode and not desktop mode like you can on a Samsung device (using DeX). Android 15 has it partly implemented, so I'm hoping it will be fixed in the next update.

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.

OMG, the Pixel 8 Pro is, like, the coolest phone ever! 😍 I've had it for a few weeks now, and it's seriously lit. Here are some of the reasons why I'm totally loving it: Camera Game Strong 📸: The camera on this phone is next level. The pics I take with it are so clear and vibrant. Selfies, group pics, and even low-light shots look awesome. It's basically a mini photographer in my pocket. Speedy Gonzales ⚡: This phone is, like, super fast. Apps open in a snap, and I can play all my fave games without any lag. It's like having a little gaming console right in my hands. Gorgeous Display 📱: The screen is, like, amazing! It's big and bright, and watching videos or playing games is a total blast. The colors are so vibrant, and it's, like, perfect for binge-watching Netflix. Battery for Days 🕒: The battery life is, like, epic. I use my phone all day, and it still has juice left when I go to bed. No more worrying about it dying on me. 5G for Speed Freaks 📶: With 5G, I can, like, download stuff crazy fast and stream without any buffering. It's like the internet is on turbo mode. Android All the Way 🤖: I'm a big fan of Android, and this phone runs the latest version, so I get all the cool features and updates. Customization options are on fleek. Sleek Design 😎: The phone looks super sleek and modern. It's got a premium feel, and it's, like, total eye candy. Water-Resistant 💦: I'm not saying I've dropped it in the toilet, but if I did, it's nice to know it can handle a little splash. So, like, if you want a phone that's top-notch in pretty much everything, the Pixel 8 Pro is, like, totally the way to go. I'm in love with mine, and I'm pretty sure you will be too! 😄👍 #Pixel8ProRocks

So far I like the phone. It was a little pricey but the trade in made it affordable. The price went down the next day after my order, so I should have waited.

For anyone considering purchasing this phone, OR ANY GOOGLE PIXEL PHONE-DON'T! Their updates, which began in January and finished in March, CRASHED MOST OF OUR PHONES! Even for those of us who managed to escape a complete system failure, our phones only function at a rudimentary level. You cannot access WiFi, you cannot access Bluetooth and any method to resolve it (including resetting your connection, running in safe mode, running in rescue mode or even factory resetting the phone) WILL NOT WORK. If you try to access the network settings, the app will malfunction and freeze. It cannot detect any available networks, even your home one. Now, using just your mobile data is a chore, as the update has caused it to run very slowly, often resulting in half loaded pages. The screen constantly freezes now, the phone overheats and the battery drains very quickly. The mega corporation that is responsible for this issue is of virtually no help, either. If you try to contact them to resolve it, they'll tell you that your warranty is expired so there's nothing they can do (although they're the reason the issue is occurring in the first place!). As if all of this wasn't distressing enough, I still owe money on this damn thing, so now I'm stuck paying for a very overpriced phone that I cannot use. Had I known that the warranty would be useless before I had even finished paying it off, or that I would end up paying over a grand for a phone with a host of bugs, I would've never done it! If we're talking purely specs of this phone (pre-crash), then yes, it was a beautiful phone. It was relatively fast, lightweight, had an impressive camera and an overall sleek design, but even then I questioned whether it was worth it or not. While it arrived unlocked, the description stated it would work with every major carrier and it didn't. I had to buy a special chip to make it compatible with mine and go through hell just to get all of my files, photos, etc., transferred over. Also, you could not move back and forth between pages easily nor would the phone flip from horizontal to vertical on its own often. Sometimes a "rotate" icon would appear in the corner for you to use, but most of the time it didn't show up and you were stuck putting the phone in sleep mode in order to get it to revert back to an upward setting. The touch screen also began to fail, and I would find myself having to repeatedly remove my case and screen protector in an effort to resolve it. The phone would sometimes blank out (sleep) during use. Regardless of text or keyboard settings, predictive text would insert words and phrases, as well as change words completely without my knowledge. It would send random texts or calls to people or pull up apps or pages that I didn't write or send, to the point that my friends and I began to joke about there being "a ghost in the machine" lol. Apps and pages wouldn't always load or operate normally, etc.; just a bunch of issues that shouldn't exist in a luxury phone. To add insult to injury, the damn thing doesn't even come with a charger. Before this phone, I had a Pixel 6 and because I really liked it, I naively assumed the 8 pro would be even better. Although it may have a few impressive features, what good does it do if you can't use any of them? While we can certainly debate whether spending the equivalent of a monthly rental amount on a phone is a financially sound decision to make, one thing's for sure, I will never purchased a phone from Google again!

I've had this phone for 4 months now! Here are some things I LOVE: •Takes GORGEOUS photos • It's very fast • It has a long lasting battery and charges within an hour • The neutral yet sophisticated color of this phone. I put a clear case on it to show it off. • Unlocked - it was a breeze to set up with my existing carrier • Brightness has a wide range which is great for being outside in the sun and in bed with the lights off • Android has a seemingly unlimited number of customization features which I always am excited for Cons: • This thing is massive and kind of heavy - just something to think about • The camera sticks out a bit so the phone never lays flat on its back, only if you lay it screen side down • There is no double-tap to wake or turn off the screen - this is something I miss about my old phone Overall, it really is the best phone I've ever had - no regrets!!

Works well and I love the google AI that screens calls. It's very human sounding and works better than any other call screen service I have ever used. ****IMPORTANT NOTE**** Asurion is a scam. In my experience, If you ever have to file a claim they will make the process as difficult as possible. When you sign in to the app to file a claim you have to sign in three separate times. The form they want you to fill out does not self-populate your name, address, phone # etc. You’ll then need to enter various other information, and they want a pic of both the front and back of your driver’s license (remember, you logged in with a UN and PW). Once you upload all of this, they tell you it will take 24 business hours to review. First, they reject the form stating you must print and sign the form even though it says you can sign electronically. If you call their number, they will place your call on hold for a while and initially an automated message will attempt to tie up your call having you answer various questions. Eventually someone in a foreign country will answer your call. The initial person will try to sell you additional services and after you say no a couple times, they will transfer you to someone else. You guessed it, you will have to be on hold again. You will get transferred and placed on hold several more times and they will find a way to deny your claim. What is especially frustrating is you have followed all their directions along the way. They can (and will) raise service fees without any notice. In the end, you will not save any money and have spent far too much time submitting forms and talking to people that lie and misdirect you every step of the way. The company’s employees are dishonest and have no problem lying to you. You can give it a try if you want but you have been warned. Instead of paying their monthly fee dump the money in a savings account. Odds are you’ll be able to buy a new product that’s updated, and you will receive it in a couple of days instead of weeks later. Asurion Protection is a scam.

Llevo varios meses con el teléfono. Había comprado uno renewed(? Pero la pantalla se veía borrosa y me daba dolor de cabeza. Compré uno nuevo. No sabría decir qué tan mal corre juegos porque solo lo he usado en dos juegos casuales, y todo ok. Brillo, funcionalidad, bocina, cámara todo ok. Estoy con pixel desde mmm el 4, luego 6 ahora el 8 pro. Todos los XL. Trae actualizaciones El porcela es muy bonito. Todos me lo piden ver, ya que no es muy común en México. CONTRAS: la pantalla es sumamente delicada. Al cabo de dos semanas ya tenía rayones, de qué? Ni idea. También de repente se corta un poco la música en el android auto, cada vez es menos. Antes era muy notorio, sobre todo porque conduzco distancias cortas. Es curioso que cuando me conecto a Amazon lo registre como un android genérico. ????? Y, unas 4 veces me ha tocado que hace un ruido raro, como interferencia al hacer clic en me gusta o en comentarios de Facebook e instagram. De memoria está ok, apenas me alcanza porque descargo mucho mugrero que luego quito y así. La vdd estoy contenta con la compra, sí lo recomiendo. Es bonito y funciona bien. La cámara es muy linda. El zoom es increíble Solo extraño mi pantalla con bordes curvos 🥲 pero vale la pena. El 6 me dio muchos problemas. Supongo que mala suerte, el 4 jaló muy bien. 🫶🏻

وصل بحالة ممتازة و كما هو مكتوب و يعمل بشكل كامل

Google perfect with vanilla android & features but built and hardware not that good but standard not lasting for long although updates for the device will 7 years. Camera on Pro models are from another planet can not be compared with today flagship
