It depends on your priorities. Here’s a rough guide:
| If you care about… | Pixel 8 is a good choice if… |
|---|---|
| Clean software, updates, and longevity | You want minimal skin, guaranteed updates, and a long lifespan. |
| Photography / camera quality | You value stills and computational photography more than ultra high zoom or many lenses. |
| Moderate / daily usage | You’re not a heavy gamer or using it in extreme temperatures. |
| After-sales & service | You’re okay with limited service options or willing to wait for repair. |
| Raw specs / value-for-money | If you want the fastest charger, highest RAM, or extreme specs, there may be alternatives that give more “bang for the buck.” |
