  This phone is great like new quality and I'm very happy with it. Every feature works beautifully and it is like advertised on the post. I've had Google phones for years and my pixel 7 screen was acting up. The 8 pro has such a cleaner, bright more crisp screen on it and the reception is good not to mention that the speakers on the 8 are LOUD and the phone is fast even when running tons of stiff all at once. Battery life is awesome too which honestly I was worried about but I worried for nothing cause it usually will last at least 36 hours on a full charge. Very happy that I bought it and you will be too!

  Perfect. No other way to describe it. I searched the phone thoroughly, looking for signs of wear. Screen: after two days I finally found a micro scratch in the lower right corner of the screen. The only way I found it was when affixing a screen protector, cleaning the screen I noticed it at a certain angle when the phone was off. Affixed the screen and the micro scratch is completely invisible regardless if the phone is on or off. To me that's as good as flawless. There were no scratches or dents on the rear facing camera, which surprised me given how far this protrudes on the Pixel 8 Pro Body: No dents, scratches, cracks, or damage of any kind. No objects obstructing or damage to any of the ports including microphone, USB-C, speakers. Buttons worked flawlessly Internal components: Screen free of any dead pixels, spots, etc. If there's any kind of screen bleed I haven't noticed it. I ran a battery gauge app for five days. Separately I used Android's system apps to measure the battery life. Everything stated the battery was in great condition. This was just as important to me as the screen; I plan to use this phone for the next three years at least so having a healthy battery was critical. On my phone and my tablets I always turn on Charge Optimization - battery charge limit set to 80% to prolong the life of the battery as much as possible. I'm not on my phone all day, my total screen time for any given day never exceeds 4 hours (usually less) but I have yet to use more than 40% of the battery per day. Phone arrived partially set up, the welcome screen for Android setup had been bypassed by someone and the phone was on the home screen. Of course I had no idea who partially set it up so for safety's sake I did a full factory reset. Always factory reset your devices when you get them if they haven't been reset already. Overall I'm extremely impressed. I loved my Pixel 5a and managed to get three years of use before a manufacturer's defect finally killed it. I also shudder at paying $1000 or more for a phone, obviously okay with buying last year's model after all of the updates/glitches have been worked out and the next shiny new thing has been released to drive down the price of the older model. Getting a one year old Pixel flagship phone for a fraction of the cost when new, this is absolutely worth it. Disclaimer: there were a number of things I didn't test nor will I do so. I don't play games on my phone, can't test the battery drain or the excess heat generated. This review covers how I use my phones. As long as I can use it to text, access the web, run my various apps, watch some media, video conference, and even upon rare occasion make phone calls (weird I know) I'm content.
