Google Pixel 8 review: A better choice a year on
The Pixel 8’s price hike compared to the Pixel 7 has been reversed in the UK, making it a much better buy than at launch. With the Pixel 9 even more expensive, this older model is definitely worth Considering, especially with software updates continuing until 2030.- Outstanding main camera, Impressive performance, Excellent Android 14 software, Six more years of updates
- Underwhelming battery life, Slow charging, No telephoto camera

The design looks a bit dated, but the Pixel 8 otherwise represents a great buy with impressive camera performance, AI-infused features that remain unique amidst increased competition, and all-day battery life that makes it a joy to use.- Impressive camera performance with unique AI features, Solid 6.2-inch OLED display, All-day battery life, 7 years of OS upgrades
- Dated design, No telephoto lens, Raw performance is behind other flagships

Google Pixel 8 5G (8GB RAM, 128GB, Obsidian) - Brand New review
At the end of the day, the Pixel 8 is a really well-rounded phone. It has got almost all the bells and whistles you would expect from a ‘flagship’ phone – competent hardware, excellent cameras, and beautiful display – packed in a cute little shell.- Ergonomic design (splendid display), Cameras are excellent as always, Clean software with a pinch of AI trickery (brownie points for 7 years of promised software support)
- Tensor G3 can run hot sometimes
