Great phone, especially for the price
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
