[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This phone is so good! I'm so impressed with it! It's incredibly fast, no lag time at all. The battery charges very quickly and lasts a really long time. The camera is fantastic, the pictures are crisp and clear. The display is fairly large and has high resolution. It also has a lot of space to download large games and apps. I highly recommend the Google Pixel 8a!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first google phone, I have been an iPhone buyer for years! The camera is excellent, that is usually one of my main reasons for upgrading a phone. Seems to be slightly lighter than my iPhone. Very bright and clear. Looking up the value of this phone, is moderate price compared to others. So far the battery life is very good! Very pleased!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The setup process for this phone was made really easy by the google transfer. The phone runs quickly and very smoothly. Some of the google features are a little hard to navigate for beginners, but overall, I am having a positive experience with this phone.

Great camera!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing product! Ease of use 10/10. I set it up in less than 5 minutes, just have to transfer data from Gmail. Its super sturdy and the display is bright and vibrant. The camera quality is insane, it looks clearer than my own eyesight. Plus the battery came charged and has lasted me for 2+ hrs now and only depleted about 10%

A great mid-range option!
on May 26, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pixel 8a is an excellent overall offering from Google in the mid-range sector of the industry. With an all-day battery, a wide range of great performance features and minimal detractors, this phone makes for a very easy recommendation as the best among its competition.
The 8a is designed well, with round corners and a prominent camera housing. The “Aloe” green color looks great and is a fun addition to a smartphone world full of dull colors. While I didn’t find the materials and finish exactly like a flagship phone, it comes close, and the build quality is great for the price point.
As for the part of the phone you’ll be looking at the whole time, the 8a delivers with an impressive OLED display, complete with a high refresh rate (up to 120 hz), vibrant yet balanced colors, and the ability to get bright enough while out in the sun. The screen is on the smaller side in today’s age of giant screens, with thicker bezels that make it easier to notice. However, the 8a screen’s vibrance and fluidity make it as enjoyable a panel as any I’ve gotten to use.
A not-so-hidden secret of the Pixel line is the quality of the cameras, and the 8a is no exception. A combination of a good set of camera sensors and the phone’s Tensor G3 chip allow for some great software tricks and put this phone’s camera setup among the very best in the industry, no matter the price range. This is especially true in the photo department, where Google’s image processing shines brightest, delivering, some of the sharpest, best colored, most accurate shots out there. On the video side of things, the phone is less impressive than with its photos, and it’s camera hardware differences from the “Pro” are more discernible. However, I find it still has the ability to take videos comparable to what you get in more expensive phones. All in all, the 8a’s camera package packs a punch way above its price range.
Part of what makes the cameras performance so well is Google’s use of various software and AI tricks. Color correction, editing and audio features ensure that the Pixel is always delivering the best videos and images possible. These advantages exist outside of the camera system as well, with very smart search functions, and the best live speech recognition and transcription I’ve used on any phone, including during phone calls and voice memos. Google is also shipping the phone with its new Gemini AI, an assistant well on its way to being much more powerful than assistants like Siri, Alexa, etc. The Pixel line just has features other phones don’t have, keeping afloat its standing as having the smartest phones in the industry.
There just might not be a better overall package in the segment. Throw in Google’s 7-years of software updates, plus the frequent discounts, and the Pixel 8a has everything to be the perfect smartphone for the money.
