Trying to compare the Pixel 8a vs the Pixel 8 and against my previous one the Pixel 7a.
I have a question about battery charging.
If i wake up one morning finding out i only have less than 30% on my Pixel 8a and I only have just over an hour before i leave the house for work and I have a "fast" 30w charger will the time be enough for the battery to reach at least around 80-90% that morning? Yes or No?

    i think this is one of the best midrangers in the game cause it has nearly the same specs as the regular pixel 8

        I had a 6a and now the 8a, and the difference is worth it.
        Better camera, better battery, better screen, the fingerprint works much better, also facial unlocking which the 6a didn't have.
        And I like the design of the 8a better, but that's very personal.

          I'm concerned about slow charging and noise when zooming in or so-so selfies.

                I live in the south of Spain and in summer it does tend to heat up if you record video for a while.
                The sound of the speakers is perfect for me.
                The performance for my use is outstanding, very fluid when opening any application, but I don't play games.

They did something similar with the Pixel 5a, except that with that phone there was a 2 year extended repair program, whereas the Pixel 8's issues apparently are more severe and get a 3 year extended repair program.

                              Or on Amazon Spain it is at €399, which is also a very good price.
                              If you see the 8 at a similar price to the 8a, definitely buy the 8.

                              I have the 8a and it is a very good phone.

                                A few years ago I've had the Pixel 6a and 7a. I was pleasantly surprised with their decent cameras, decent performance, decent speakers and commendable battery life.
                                I currently have the Xiaomi 13T. It's showing it's age and i'm thinking of going back to a Pixel.
                                For more better camera system (for everyday photos - city or on holiday), better performance (faster & more snappier), better speakers (a bit more clarity and loudness) slightly better display (better HBM/peak brightness, more sharper) & glass protection should i go for the Pixel 8a or upgrade straight to a Pixel 8?

                                        Or should I go for the Pixel 8 instead?
