Pixel 8 5G 256GB Obsidian unlocked

The Google Pixel 8 is a fully unlocked smartphone with 256GB of storage in an Obsidian finish. It ships new but carries a C-grade cosmetic rating that allows dents, cracks, chips or scuffs on the body and possible scratches or dark spots on the screen. The handset measures 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9 mm and weighs 187 g.

Cosmetic buyers and budget users

Buyers who accept visible wear in exchange for a lower outlay will find the specifications match the standard Pixel 8 feature set. Users who require a flawless exterior or who plan to resell the device in mint condition should look at a higher cosmetic grade.

Build integration needs

The glass front and back use Gorilla Glass Victus on an aluminum frame rated IP68, so a protective case is advisable given the pre-existing cosmetic damage. Dual Nano-SIM and eSIM support lets you activate service without a physical card swap. The 6.2-inch OLED panel runs at 120Hz with HDR10+ and peak brightness of 2000 nits, driven by the Tensor processor.

Questions about this item

What type of SIM cards does the Pixel 8 accept for cellular service?

The phone uses a nano-SIM tray and also supports an eSIM profile, so you can activate service with either a physical card or a digital plan.

Will the 120 Hz OLED display work normally with older apps designed for 60 Hz screens?

Yes, the display simply refreshes at its maximum rate; legacy apps run at their original frame pacing without any compatibility issues.

How can I verify the Tensor G3 processor is running the latest AI features after setup?

Open Settings, tap About phone, and confirm the build number shows Android 14; Magic Editor and other AI tools will then be available in Google Photos.
