Great phone, especially for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing Camera, Smooth display, Flagship Features and amazing Price to Performance. Very happy with the Pixel 8a, the phone runs very smoothly thanks to the Tensor G3 and I hardly notice the "Thick Bezels" especially with a case on. Feels great in the hand thanks to those curved corners

Pixel 8A: Not Your Average A-Student
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Pixel 8A is like the cool younger sibling of your average flagship phone. It's got most of the same specs, but with a little less flash and a whole lot more fun. The Good Stuff * Camera: Takes photos that'll make your friends think you hired a pro (or at least used a fancy filter). * Battery: Lasts longer than your attention span during a lecture. * Price: Won't break the bank, leaving you more money for pizza (research shows this is important). The Maybe Not-So-Good Stuff * Speed: Not exactly a cheetah, but it's faster than a sloth on vacation (so there's that). * Design: Looks pretty slick, but maybe a little less exciting than a rainbow unicorn. The Verdict: If you're looking for a phone that takes great pics, keeps up with your social media addiction, and won't empty your wallet, the Pixel 8A is your best bet. Just don't expect it to win any phone beauty pageants.

Excellent Phone
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent phone. No complaints. A very significant upgrade from my Pixel 6a. I particularly like the smooth scrolling. Also, the Pixel 6a wasn't able to access T-Mobile's new millimeter wave ("Standalone") 5G. The Pixel 8a has no problem accessing all T-Mobile bands. I prefer Pixel "A" series phones to the flagship Pixels. Not only is the "A" series priced more reasonably, but also the lower camera bump of the "A" series Pixel phones makes them easier to fit in my pocket.
