The "Alpha" Of the A has fallen.

I would overly expect that the next Pixel A or Galaxy A or any "A" Type of a smartphone add some more hardware features and focuses more on the software support.


Sad to see this to follow the Apple way.

    Anders, 07 May 2024I don't understand companies like Google, Sony and Mot... moreMotorola selling a lot devices.

      Anders, 07 May 2024I don't understand companies like Google, Sony and Mot... moreGet Motorola out of that comment! sells more than Sony and Google combined

        Let see if I have this right.....I loan Google at least $500.00 of my money for a week and don't get squat in return. No interest, no phone, plus I pay MSRP? Uh, no. No product, no money. Especially an untested product.

          Anders, 07 May 2024I don't understand companies like Google, Sony and Mot... moreYes. This! Exactly!

            Slightly better screen, 256GB option and longer software support... small changes from 7a but nice to see. Not sure it's worth the money compared to 7a at current prices though.

            And you might as well buy the regular Pixel 8 if you have the money for 8a - i think this phone will flop.

              I'd buy a pixel if it would have been more sustainable and repairable, and i would directly install graphene OS on it straight from the get go, with probably 7 years of support, is a no brainer

                Anders, 07 May 2024I don't understand companies like Google, Sony and Mot... moreAh, you again, 1 to 10 scale of ignorance? 20. Actually pixel devices sell quite well, especially in europe. Also sony and leno- a motorola.

                  I don't understand companies like Google, Sony and Motorola who's smartphone sales are basically nonexistent (they're all being beaten by Transsion) but yet they keep releasing overpriced garbage.

                  You're not Apple or Samsung. You don't have the fanbase to exploit. You have to build up a large fanbase first, then you can try selling them BS. Not the other way round.

                      With this price I could get a brand new xiaomi 14 pro with 256GB in China, who wants a low end toy from Google? hell no!

                        AtomicMarrow147, 07 May 2024Worst google phone ever. At same price anyone can get pixe... moreHell, for this amount of money, you could get yourself a Pixel 7 Pro, a Pixel 8, or a Samsung Galaxy S22. OnePlus 12R is a very good deal though, I think it's truly the best-priced phone of this year.

                          Quite nice, but 550-600 $/€/£ for an 8/256 Gb model, really, Google? And what's with the 18W 'fast' charging? 🤔😂

                            Now for the most important question - Does it get all the on device AI features that the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro have?

                              Size is slightly wider than Pixel 8?. Why google?.

                                5x digital zoom? Did they lower from 8x now?

                                  Is the video about the phone or about AI? I feel like it’s the latter

                                    So, basically every region got a price hike except the US

                                      Until there is vast improvements in the SOC & modem Pixel is off limits

                                        Mills, 07 May 2024499? Should be 399 for 128GB, 450 for 256GB. This better... moreThe crash out reminds me of Radical Lary that have a super power that makes him vibrates through walls, and burrow the underground
