The Pixel 8a is here…but WHY?

1. Unfortunately, my Pixel 3a is trooping along so well, and the camera is great, that upgrades are a hard sell.. so far.

2. Google Pixel 8A has text call?

3. I can't wait to get one

4. This is a well spoken, well outlined and concisely informative preliminary review.

5. Who buys this phones?
   SoT sucks, charging speeds are pathetic, they are throtling like hell…
   Last good one was 5a.

6. Pixel 7a has 500 nits brightness in manual mode.
   …And about 1100 nits in auto mode.
   You are comparing 7a's max manuel brightness with 8a's max theorethical when in auto mode.
   But in reality, 8a will have about 1400 nits, just like Pixel 8.

7. Dam. Im atill using ny 128gb pixel 3xl!

8. I agree… if you were to buy it at standard price. Here in Germany, my first Pixel was the 3a, and since then Google has been buying my old phone AND giving me a big discount whenever a new series A phone shows up. I also get 10% store credit for every purchase, which means that upgrading from the 7a to the 8a will cost me a ridiculous 90€!!!

9. bad take: I ordered the 256GB pixel 8a for £375 after trading in my entry level G7 Power to get back a whopping £184 back from Google. If I want a Pixel 8, cheapest right now is £559.
   The 8a is awesome because of the rebate bonus trade in of old phones.

10. That ugly bezels🤮

11. I prefer a plastic back

12. To my understanding, the a versions are a pool into the next version. Pixel 8a looks more like pixel 9 more than pixel 8/pro

13. Just like the Pixel 8 rarely sells for $699, this will rarely sell for $499. Those in the U.S. preordering the 8a get $100 in Google store credit. By the time that offer has expired the phone will be $399 or less.

14. Don't worry, I already preordered the Pixel 8a for less than $200

15. 7 years for a camera with so low storage? In 3 years it will be useless due to lack of memory. Remember: windows 3.1 came on 6x1mb floppy disks

16. Just got an 8A for $299 less $90 trade in on a Pixel 5. I couldn't see any reason to purchase the 8. I don't need the faster charging in the 8, and paying $150 more didn't seem worth it.

17. With Trade In Bonus 8 (my old Pixel 6 Pro), i bought one for 280 EUR inkl. VAT, getting it on 14th May.

18. Glass backs are worthless!!!!

19. The same reason Samsung has a 15, 35, 55, which are all the same also….pretty much everything you talked about the 8a has compared to the 7a is better!!!! This review is goofy

20. Pixel 8 doesn't have LTPO either, only the Pro.

21. I ordered this phone for my wife through Vodafone in Portugal for only 216,90 euros with the points that I collect every month. Pretty chip deal! Here in Portugal starting price is 560 euros, so I guess it's a very good deal. Subscribed! ✌️

22. Sometimes I think Google's phone department is operated by some Dumbs who lives in their own imagination.

23. Exists because there is interest in a decent 6.1 inch smartphone.

24. Why would anyone buy a 8a? Well, right now where I live, the cheapest I can get a Pixel 8 for is 595, while the Pixel 8a is available for around 300. That's a massive price difference, and I guess for that price it's a steal.

25. As Pixel 6a owner – for me the size matter. The Pixel 8a has much better brightness + rounded bezels + 3rd gen chipset + 7 years support. And I found a trade sale ! I trade in my Pixel 6a for the Pixel 8a. I had to pay €294,- ! 🥰

26. Meanwhile I'm still using Pixel 4 as my main phone

27. Yeah but I need a replacement phone NOW, who can sit twiddling their thumbs waiting for a sale with no phone?

28. Pre-ordered this through google fi, got 200 dollars off instantly, Phone was 300 bux + a pixel 6a trade in made it 235. Wayyyy worth it in this way.

29. Why wait for pixel 9, wait for pixel 10 and you will get advanced features… 😅

30. They always do an A version for the pixel tf you mean why

31. The criticism is the same in every review. Why buy an 8a at full price when you can get the Pixel 8 on sale? This criticism doesn't account for the fact that the 8a can also be bought on sale. I pre-ordered one for just $299. 🤷‍♂️

32. 6,1" vs 6,7"… for some people that can be it. screw big phones.

33. yeah but how about 220 $😂
    you can't say no
