    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

    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.

    Great phone. I have no issues so far. Good to take pictures, compact, nice grip. The phone doesn’t get heated like all time. Overall good phone worth the price.

    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.

    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

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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 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!
