Still waiting for it

Mbee . 1 day ago

Phone might be great, but I wouldn't know, as it has not arrived yet. UPS had the phone, but seems to have lost it, and Verizon hasn't confirmed that they'll ship another one yet

Terrible 1st party store

Ken Geary . 2 days ago

Store has terrible customer service, blatant lies about warranty item. No product to sell despite items out on display. Mail order package left without required signature, no wait that was another lie at the store. Package received damaged due to failure to pack product properly. I will be asking for a FULL REFUND and possibly canceling All Verizon services we have had for DECADES

Disappointed

Kelly . 9 days ago

It randomly freezes; I must manually restart to unfreeze. Sometimes, it restarts itself with no explanation or forewarning.

Not Very Pleased

Tracey . 10 days ago

I'm not crazy about this phone. I haven't figured out how to get different sounds for things like texts and other notifications. It doesn't always work to tap on an icon so I have to keep at it until it figures out that I want it to open. Sometimes I will tap an app icon and it will open something else. It has also changed my volume settings all on its own so that it vibrates rather than makes the sounds.

Don't like

14 days ago

I don't like it because I can't call anyone from my house. My old phone I could call, text, & get on Facebook. This phone will only do text. I don't like the way it turns on either. It is very hard to get use to. For people that are younger than me would like it better than me. It is hard for me to work these new phones.

Phone with quality photos

amandat476 . 16 days ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an iPhone user, it took some time getting used to. But aside from that, I found the camera quality better! Can’t wait to take this to my next concert to see the picture difference! The battery life was good as well!

An Okay phone

EDW2 . 16 days ago

I bought the Pixel 8A to replace my wife's Pixel 6. The phone is okay, but nothing spectacular. The main reason I have stuck with the Pixel phones is because of the camera. That us about the same as the 6, but there have been some changes on the software that makes it less usefu.

Low Volume, Terrible Speaker Phone

Alicia K . 17 days ago

Great phone for the most part. Fast and great connectivity. HOWEVER, call volume was not nearly loud enough (maxed out) and forget using the speakerphone feature, other person couldn't hear me at all or i sounded completely broken up. I wouldn't hear them much better on speaker than i could theough a regular phone call volume.
