Overall it was easy to transfer to new device. Great functionalities. For some reason, Google Assistant set-up hasn't worked out well.

Loved my Pixel 4a. When adding new features your coders need to go back and see if what they changed affected what already worked. The Pixel 8a won't mirror my phone contacts when I try to download to my vehicle. The 4a did so perfectly. The 8a won't read my tasks etc. as scheduled when my alarm goes off. It maybe worked 2 times since received on 11-27 and I've tried to reset it several times. Pixel 4a did this perfect daily. My pictures are totally different and I can't find anything. No longer has the option to click on certain photos. Tried to delete some from my phone and they were also deleted from my google account. Got on the computer to undelete them so I could have them on my computer and it put them all back on the phone. WHAT THE HECK?? Worst of all, After only 3 weeks, the speakers warble the voices on every call I make and I can't understand have of the conversation. Every time I try to do anything on the phone, it pops up with questions or giving me options or asking me questions. Just let me use my phone without trying to interfere constantly! Guess I will have to return the phone since the speakers are messed up.

Wonderful phone, but the camera was quite up to what it was advertised to be. Camera is my most highly valued feature, along with speed, power, and memory capacity.

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.

I have been on iOS for the last four years. My 12 mini was starting to show its age. With that said, I was in the market for a new phone so I began my research on what Android has been up to. I came across a flossy video on YouTube unboxing the 8a.
The rest, as they say, is history. I am glad to be back on pure Android and the phone itself is perfect! Ordered for in-store pick up, satisfied with the time from order to pick up, four days I believe. Again, beyond happy with this phone!

Google got it just right with Pixel 8a. The build quality is good and the phone looks every bit premium. I use it for official use, and all Office apps works perfect!

I upgraded from a Pixel 3a, so this was a big jump. I've noticed some apps load and run faster. I am sure I have quite a bit yet to learn about using this phone.
