Reviewers mostly praise the Google Pixel 8 for its camera and design, but many call out serious connectivity and real-world performance drawbacks. The phone has one of the best camera systems on the market and a unique brushed aluminum design that reviewers love. However, common complaints include unreliable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, overheating, and a Tensor chip that many say underperforms due to cost-cutting, making the device feel inconsistent.
