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.
Google Pixel 8 MSRP $699.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Google Pixel 8 packs amazing AI tools, great cameras, and long battery life into a pretty, compact body.” Pros Cons The Google Pixel 8 sits in the shadow of the Google Pixel 8 Pro. It’s not its fault, but it’s always that way when one phone is labeled Pro and the other is not. It’s seen as the “cheap” option and, therefore, the less desirable model.
The side buttons are easy to locate and press, plus the in-display fingerprint sensor is quick and accurate. I don’t always have to use the fingerprint sensor, as Face Unlock usually gets there before me. Even better, Google has updated the system for the Pixel 8 so it meets requirements for payment and in-app authorization too. The smooth, easy security is another reason living with the Pixel 8 is so pleasant, and there are no compromises on it compared to the Pixel 8 Pro.
It won’t come as a surprise to learn the main camera is excellent. The photos it takes are vibrant and exciting, yet still natural looking. It never veers into over-saturated territory but keeps colors punchy and fun to ensure you want to share them online with minimal editing. Zoom in to 2x , and you will see a slight degradation in quality if you crop the image, but otherwise, it looks surprisingly good.
Google Pixel 8: Magic Editor The photos you take with the Pixel 8 can be edited to a degree never seen before on a smartphone. Magic Editor is Google’s latest generative AI tool, and it allows you to manipulate the image to a massive degree — from removing or shifting objects and people to changing the look of the sky and water. It can be shockingly effective, and best of all, it’s so simple to use.
All these questions and concerns will be forgotten the first time you use Magic Editor or Magic Eraser, though. These tools are astonishingly powerful, and it’s deeply impressive we have the ability to change photos to this extent on a smartphone. You won’t find Magic Editor anywhere else except on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, and along with the entire Google Photos editing suite, a genuine reason to consider either one if you’re really into photography.
I’ve had no issues using normal phone-related stuff, with calls sounding great either through the speaker or when I use Bluetooth-connected earbuds. The Pixel 8 pulls in a strong signal connected to both 4G and 5G, while NFC and Google Pay work faultlessly. At this stage, the Tensor G3 is a better, more reliable performer than previous versions, giving the Pixel 8 masses of speed and ability. I just hope it stays this way.
You may have more fun with the AI-generated wallpapers. Have you ever wanted to see what a wallpaper depicting a scene showing surreal cliffs in shades of indigo would look like? Google’s AI wallpaper will show you. It’s fun and different. I also like the varied ways you can customize the lock screen, from the layout of the time and date to adding handy shortcuts. Android has always been customizable, but Google has worked hard on making these tweaks accessible and good-looking in Android 14.
For a little more granular information on battery performance, streaming YouTube for 30 minutes depletes the battery by just 2%, recording a 4K Timelapse video for 15 minutes takes 4%, and 30 minutes playing Pocket City takes 7% from the battery. These results are equal to, if not even better than I’d expect to see from any current, high-performance smartphone.
