GSMArena86/100Aug 2024
Better battery and cameras than before, though it is no longer a compact Pixel and is fairly heavy (global model).
-
Notebookcheck85/100Oct 2024
Good photos, long battery, bright OLED and long updates, but rivals like the Galaxy S24 offer more for similar money (European model).
-
MySmartPrice84/100
A solid step up from the Pixel 8 with handy AI and clean software, but at Rs 79,999 it is best bought on sale; gamers should look elsewhere.
-
Gadgets360 (NDTV)80/100Sep 2024
Better screen and ultrawide than before; heating is its main weakness.
-
Digit75/100Aug 2024
Strong AI features, but performance trails rivals and the screen is not top-flagship class.
-
HT Tech76/100Sep 2024
Appealing AI and camera, but short of flagship power and prone to heat.
-
India Today Tech80/100Aug 2024
Pleasant to use day to day; chip tuning and speakers could be better.
-
Indian Express90/100Sep 2024
Good choice for first-time Pixel buyers thanks to 7 years of support, though charging and video are not flagship class.
-
The Verge80/100Sep 2024
A good phone for people who just want it to work without tinkering (US model).
