    Excellent phone with easy to use camera, high picture quality, AI magic and many new features. Sound quality is very good during phone calls. I do miss the head phone jack and it does take some time to get used to the latest Android features.

    The Google Pixel 8a was very affordably priced and was a great replacement for my Pixel 4a. It was slightly larger in size but still fits in my work shirt pocket and only shows a bit. I got a Poetic phone case with a similar mint green color. I chose the mint green color so I can quickly spot it if is showing, if something may be hiding it from my sight.

    For the price point, this item has been solid. Battery life is pretty good unless you use heavily through the day. There has been a couple glitches but nothing major. Only complaint is that while using the head phone jack while running, it may stop playing music because it gets disconnected.

    I purchased the phone for it's compact size. I was okay with the trade-off of lower specs in terms of processor and camera quality but to my suprise I don't really sense any drop off on performance with respect to flagships. Would 10/10 recommend for those who like small compact phone. Only downside I can think of is lower charging speed.

    I bought this open box because I wanted to try out a budget Android phone from a lifelong iOS user. Ive got to say, this is a really solid device for the price. I really appreciate all the features packed into this thing with the software. The camera is workable and it feels like its solidly build. I’m excited to keep exploring all the features with this. Who knows, I might end snagging a foldable after this!

    Does most everything all the other pixels do, except at a much cheaper price. Excellent build and finish. Love the bay color. Just the right size for my hands. Could not ask for anything better

    Great mid-range Android phone

    This phone sets the standard for the mid-priced android category. It has nearly everything the Pixel 8 has, but starts at $500 and often has extra discounts or trade-in allowances, making the phone 1-2 hundred cheaper. It the smaller form factor I'm looking for, and easily handles 1 day of heavy use, or 2 days of regular/light use. Phones like this have convinced me that is just not worth spending $1,000+ on a phone. The green color is a bit strange, I've yet to see it show up on a screen the way it looks in person. Unfortunately, none of the stores had the green one in stock so we just took a chance on it. Think of it as a spring/easter light green and you'll be in the right ballpark.

    My 6a was a dog, battery life was declining even after replacing the battery. The 8a is a much needed improvement. It is quick, excellent screen and camera and a decent battery.
