Google Pixel 8 review: better than the Pixel 8 Pro?

The case for choosing the Google Pixel 8 over the Pixel 8 Pro is stronger than ever, as its camera, battery, and software all impress in our review.

Great main camera Amazing AI photo editing tools Two-day battery life Slick, fast Android 14 Tensor G3 is cool and efficient Seven years software support

Wide-angle camera disappoints Average charge speed

“The Google Pixel 8 packs amazing AI tools, great cameras, and long battery life into a pretty, compact body.”

Google Pixel 8 review

While the jump from the Pixel 6 to the Pixel 7 series was somewhat modest, the 8 series' launch is defined by a slew of new features and upgraded...

Compact and premium build, easy to handle, dust- and water-resistant.

Some software features are limited to certain countries.

Bottom line, the Pixel 8 is an easy recommendation because, despite its issues, it's a significant upgrade over the previous generation and manages to pack competent hardware into a compact body.

The Pixel 8 offers similar performance and functionality as the larger Pixel 8 Pro, but costs $300 less, making it the midrange Android phone to beat.

Pixel 8 and 8 Pro review: in Google we trust?

The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro come with impressive — and controversial — new photo editing tools, like Best Take and Magic Editor. With significant updates and seven years of software support promised, they might just be the Pixel phones we've...

How much you trust Google to fulfill these promises — and how much you trust the company with a lot of your personal information — should dictate whether or not the Pixel 8 is for you. They offer more potential than ever, but they’re also more...

Google Pixel 8 review: doing things the Google way

The Pixel 8 offers everything you would expect from a Pixel phone and more! Here's what you get for a starting price of $699.

Crazy-smart AI features ; 7 years of software updates! ; Pro-level display ; Powerful camera system ; You get a lot for the price ; Good battery life

Lower performance compared to competition ; Battery charging still leaves room for improvement ; Audio quality could be better ; No dedicated telephoto camera

Google Pixel 8 Review: The best 'small' Android phone

Google Pixel 8 Review: Google's flagship cements itself as the best version of an Android, with great performance and next-gen camera tricks! Google Pixel 8 ReviewBottom LineFor those who don't want a larger phone, Google's Pixel 8 offers a true...

Premium build ; Terrific cameras, both from hardware and software ; Strong performance ; Beautiful display ; One of the best security and upgrade guarantees in Android

Battery life isn't the best ; The AI-powered editing features don't always work as well as you'd like ; The large camera bump on the back can be a little awkward

The Pixel 8 is the ultimate Android phone. You get the best-of-stock Android, top-tier performance, and excellent point-and-shoot photos. Even at its regular $700, the Pixel 8 remains a solid deal, but at $550, it's a steal.

Google's Pixel 8 still holds up in 2025 - and it's an even better buy at its new price

With all eyes on the Pixel 9, the previous generation is seeing big discounts. Google's Pixel 8 is now 30% off at Amazon.

You're not going to find a much better value than the Pixel 8 - especially at such a deep discount. From the gorgeous display and design to the speedy performance and amazing cameras, Google's standard flagship phone stands on its own with an...
