Good camera that’s all

Miss Millie . 4 months

It doesn’t have good safety features and basically compared to other phones that I have had it’s bad quality.

Must buy it is pure perfection and very intriguing.

MRQKC87 . 4 months

Google pixel 8a is phenomenal and spectacular. Thank you Google for making this uniquely and magnificent device. 😇💎👍

World's worst customer service

Chris Brewster . 5 months

The phone is fine, despite trouble with activation. The service was horrible. They couldn't help me and cut me off when transferring me. If I didn't have phones to pay off, I'd switch yesterday.

Pretty much the same as my last pixel phone, but the messaging app doesn't work, and I have to use like an older, factory setting version with lame emojis. I hate phone transfers. They are the worst!

Pixel 8a A+

Sunshine Daydream . 5 months

Great phone...extremely intuitive. Great deal on the price now that the 9's have dropped.

Returned & Not Credited

Donna . 5 months

UPS failed to contact me to sign for the delivery so it was returned a week ago. No update yet at My Verizon to recognize the return
