    So pixel 8 is 4.3 stars and the 8a is 4.1 stars? Would have thought it would be slightly wider.

      60% throttling after 10 minutes?! That's really poor. Not sure how GSM reviews this so highly at this price point.

            7a/8a are proof google needs to drop isocell and use only exmor.
            Again ,midrange does better than flagship

              " we suppose Google has to find some way to justify the Pro moniker on the most expensive model"


              Seriously gsmarena? It has higher res screen, larger battery, periscope, 512GB option. Many stuff justify 8 pro more expensive than 8. Thete is no need to handcap cam functions

                Well, the throttling test provides yet another reason why it would be worthwhile to spend a bit more and get a Pixel 8. Although throttle tests subject the phone to extreme situations which rarely happens in real life, it does provide an useful indicator of the thermal management of a phone and what it is capable of in extreme situations.

                Pixel 8a throttles significantly and its throttled performance (both CPU and GPU) goes below that of Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. Pixel 8 throttles a bit better and its performance stays above 7G3 (even if by a small amount).

                  18w charging?? that was the standard for 2015-2018... thankfully we got brands like huawei who made fast charging mainstream and forced everyone to make faster charging. otherwise we would still be stuck at "industry standard" of apple and samsung at 25w

                    Finally, the Pixel 8a is powered by a 4,492mAh battery capable of up to 30W.
                    It's 18W

                      Vanilla Pixel 8 is easily worth the difference just because those bezels that Google is using it so that people will spend more. Terrible design that Samsung and Google are using as a selling strategy.
