A fantastic smartphone that offers a great balance of speed, efficiency, and battery life - however, the battery with its small capacity is definitely the weakest point of this phone. It has a gorgeous 6.2-inch display, a powerful Tensor G3 chip and a camera that consistently takes stunning photos - It may not have a fancy lenses from Leica but the software behind the photo processing is incredible and the results are fantastic. The 8 is also incredibly secure, with a robust security system that will keep your personal data safe. I'm confident that my information is well-protected when I'm using this phone. I have switched from Xiaomi 13 and the switch itself was a breeze - initially its doable over the wifi, but the content transfer (photos, videos, etc) been done via the usb-c cable, as you can see at the attached photo. I've noticed, the phone gets a mixed reviews but it may come from the fact, that people don't know how to use all the features. Personally I think it one of the best phones currently available, may compete with the flagships but costs a fraction.
The only downsides are the smaller battery and slower charging speed, but these are minor issues compared to the Pixel 8's overall 'awesomeness'. If you're looking for an android smartphone that doesn't mess around, the Google Pixel 8 is the way to go.
