The new lauch of 8a doesn't have any surprises. Better than 7a by 120hrtz refresh rate and ips67 protection and lighter by 5gms which is not a big deal. 7a serves better at a better cost👍

CamoGeko-XDA, 17 May 2024Bro, those bezels are wider than the great wall of China.Then the Great Wall Of China isn't much of a wall at all, not even worthy of keeping out an ant
On a more serious note, bezel width is essentially meaningless since most serious users immediately put a case on a phone for protection. Some phones are even so slippery that it is nearly impossible to prevent them from slipping out of a hand or sliding off of a slightly tilted surface.
I use a red Spigen Rugged Armor on my red 2020 iPhone SE and I think the cased phone looks better than the uncased phone.
The same thing will apply with this 8a with the cased item being both safer and better looking than the uncased item.
That said, overall this is a very well designed phone for most users and I fell for Apple when it tries to compete with it when the 2025 SE comes out in early 2025. Even if it can compete with it the 9a will then only be a few weeks away.

Anonymous, 15 May 2024I agree. The Pixel 7a was $499 on release last year but dur... moreThe 7 year support is great but I honestly think people will hit their storage limit in that time maybe requiring a new phone anyway unless you purchase cloud storage. Taking photos, apps getting bigger with each update as well as Android getting bigger with each update means I don't think you have to be a heavy user to go from a 64gb phone to filling a 128gb phone and that's also not taking into account battery degradation and needing to change that during this time period.

Driftking60, 15 May 2024I think people are missing the whole point of this phone. Y... moreTrue. Right now we are comparing pixel 8 and pixel 8a to say pixel 8a does not have a good value. But when pixel 8a drops in price or even if you get the phone after a whole year, u still have a phone with 6 years of OS updates left. That is a huge value and after 1 year, pixel 8a will be priced around $200 to $300 less than pixel 8 probably given the current pricing of pixel 7 and pixel 7a. Right now pixel 8a does not make sense, but after a few months it will be a great value deal

Dani, 14 May 2024samsung A55 8/256 or pixel 8a? thanksI would suggest getting pixel 8 during sales. Or wait till pixel 8a drops in price. When comparing a Samsung and Google phone, Samsung usually has better hardware while Google has better software which is not the case here. 8a has a better processor and display while Samsung has better materials such as better front glass protection. The pixel 8a might be a better choice given 7 years of OS updates, timely updates, better processor capabilities, AI features, slow but still has 7.5W wireless charging, and better software stability and experience. Personally, I find Pixel UI better than OneUI but you should try out both before deciding. Software experience is just as important as hardware capabilities

Anonymous, 15 May 2024Even here in Europe the price difference is marginal. There... moreThere is a reason, the 8a display has a better contrast ratio than the 8, gets dimmer at minimum brightness and the battery lasts an hour longer hecause the processor has a lower clock speed. And, the photos have a wider color gamut than the 8 because of the Sony sensor (vs the Samsung sensor). It'll also get 7 months more software updates.
The 8a is the better phone. It is on par with the Pixel 9 series phones, as every a -series fits inbetween the prior phones and the jext generation, like a hybrid model.

Driftking60, 15 May 2024I think people are missing the whole point of this phone. Y... moreI agree. The Pixel 7a was $499 on release last year but during the holiday season it was on sale for $375. When you consider the 7 years of software support for the 8a, this phone will have unprecedented value when it's available for $400-$350. I only wish Google would bring back the XL size to the A series. Maybe even a 9a Stylus for practicality? I just prefer bigger phones with flat screens.

I think people are missing the whole point of this phone. Yeah, Pixel 8's are being discounted right now, but that doesn't mean that the Pixel 8a won't get a discount. I know for a fact that the 8a will get discounts in the future and those discounts will make this phone a great deal of a phone.

I don't know why Google didn't invest time into making a compact phone instead, current A series are pointless.

128GB/8GB and Gorilla Glass 3 for a $500 phone? Totally worthless.

Nick, 14 May 2024Goggle living in 2018I blame Sundar's lack of vision, to be honest. He might be a good manager, but can't really reach CEO level. Good CEO? Steve Jobs. Great CEO? Jensen Huang.
