As a Pixel 8a user I am very happy with it, and what others call a downside don't feel noticeable at all, for example the thicker bezels. Just saying, there are many happy Pixel users out there :)

          The Pixel A-series is getting too expensive, in that way it barely justifies its price when you can also get a Pixel 8 pro for more or less the same price with better looks and internals. But Pixel phones do get their first price drop fairly quickly after launch.

              "It's also the first A-series phone to feature Google's Astrophotography feature." - my 3a XL had astro mode when it came out first. Same time as the pixel 4

                This would be the budget phone of choice when there are sales...if it wasn't for the bezels!

                      Phones half of that price have better protection

                        Cant they shrink the camera cutout in front ?

                        It would it make it look better and somewhat like midrange

                                This is far worse deal than iphone 16e.
                                If you slap SD 8g2 inside Motorola G85, it would become years better than this.



                                  Thick bezels (even symmetrical) and weak soc (G4) make this phone deal breaker. And the rumored Tensor G5 will give massive bump in performance and efficiency made from TSMC unlike G4 made from Samsung

                                    Looks like a toy phone, they should of moved the camera to the up and to the left, then made it vertical. looks like its off balance.

                                      This year the 'A' series Pixel is more irrelevant than ever. Pixel 8 can be found at around $500 (or even lower) in various markets, and is a much better device overall than 9a.
