Google Pixel 8 – Unlocked Android smartphone with advanced Pixel Camera, 24-hour battery and powerful security – Obsidian, 128GB (Renewed)

Love it, just wish phone was cheaper to purchase, proper built phone with great specs and software.

Phone is from Japan where it legally has to make a shutter sound when taking a photo. There's no mention of this in the purchase description. Super annoying.

Used unit but cosmetically perfect. CPU X reports 212 cycles on battery but capacity seems to be as good as new.However, unreliable file transfer on USB C port. Could be a cable problem but USB C ports do wear with use.Not a problem perhaps for users with wireless charging (which is reasonably fast) and where mass file transfer isn't required. Screen brightness is high and appear to be as good as new. Camera quality is as reputed for Google phones. Just updated to Android 15 so have not had opportunity to test the apps with latest OS. Rather annoying that Google do not include any anti-virus and cleaner app. But the biggest disappointment for me and the reason for then 4 star rating, is how far the lens module projects out of the phone - 3mm - making the thing 12mm thick at its thickest point. This is not obvious from Amazon photos and not mentioned by professional reviewers that I had checked. Another concern is memory capacity. Have not yet fully setup this phone but Android 15 takes up 10GB and with temporary files associated with every app, 128GB may not be sufficient for my requirements. As for value for money, it is getting questionable by the day. Now that this model has been superceded by Pixel 9, prices are beginning to fall from other sellers, so a brand new one is already not much more expensive than this second hand one.My recommendation would be to buy a 256GB version when the prices fall to more reasonable levels.This particular phone had a strange touch sensation which I had put down to excessive haptic feedback response but having switched the feature off, the screen now feels and sounds as if there is an airgap behind the glass.The reviewers tell me that the Google Tensor chipsets run hot, but I did not appreciate just how hot until I used Google maps for navigation. This phone got very hot indeed. In the end, decided to return the phone and try with a brand new phone.

Bought a refurbished Pixel 8 and great price for a phone I have 0 complaints about big improvement on the 7a

I purchased an "excellent" condition pixel which stated no cosmetic flaws from 30cm. The battery and screen are in excellent condition, but the body has some very obvious cosmetic flaws (nicks in metal and friction where the previous user's case had rubbed against the back) so the condition category feels a bit arbitrary.Despite that, the phone works great and I have had no troubles so I am happy with the purchase.

I was expecting it to blow me away with unimaginable life-changing modern wizardry, but it just does exactly the same as my previous phone, albeit more snappily and without needing to be recharged quite as often. It doesn't have a headphone hole, which I consider unreasonable.
