    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

    A lot of the problems on this phone remind me why it's cheaper than others. Low brightness even when raised to the highest setting Gets hot really fast Runs out of batteries fast Camera quality is trash Sometimes there's weird glitches in photos due to phone bugging out ? Audio sounds crunchy and I never brought it near water

    Pixel 8A: Not Your Average A-Student

    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.

    This phone is excellent, i changed from Iphone to Google Pixel and it was the best decision that I made. Very user friendly, apps are very responsive, and features are great. Size and weight is perfect, fits comfortable in my hand and weightless in my pocket. Camera captures our family moments... very realistic photos... Thinking about buying one for my wife...

    Great specs in an economic package. The 120 Hz variable refresh rate screen is something I didn't know I needed until I experienced it. The wireless charging adds convenience.

    I went from a 4a to this, and it feels like a better and faster version of my old phone. Just the act of switching everything over is such an easy process. If life was as easy. My preference has always been Android under Google phones, and this phone, certainty, enforces my belief.

    Upgraded from an S22+. Definitely smaller, less vibrant display than a flagship Samsung. But clean Android and processor speed make it worth the slight downgrade - much more pocketable too
