Out of the two the 8a is the much better deal. Me personally, I prefer the plastic matte back, flat camera bar and that sharp aloe color. Idk why people whine and complain SO much about bezels. I’m more concerned with good performance, battery life and having a bug free experience but silly me 😂. Especially if you catch the 8a on sale, it’s kind of a no brainer to go with the 8a over the 8.

@Publius_Enigma 3 месяца назад

Because I don't want my 2024 phone to have thicker bezels than my 5 year old phone.

@omarcortes5754 3 месяца назад

The A series offers a lot for the money, especially the cameras and video recording (4k 60). I would take one of these over the Samsung A's.

@MatthewMoniz 3 месяца назад

@hyunji1652 3 месяца назад

The problem is that Pixel 8 are not on their msrp anymore you can easily find one for 50 more than 8A and at the point why not pay for the better phone?

@Gooitt Месяц назад

That's like a used Mercedes. Screen replacement for 8a is 155$ and for pixel 8 is 300$. Back Glass for 8 around 150$ and for 8a around 20. You get the drill.

Pixel 8a was 450usd for me after Trade-in. But When i saw OnePlus 12 was 450usd with trade-in with my 8T, i cancelled pixel 8a's order and bought OnePlus 12 for 450usd! I really struggled with 6a for 2 months, there was a one time where mobile data wouldn't turn on for 20 mins and i couldn't book a uber for 30 mins hahaha

So glad you did this comparison, most of what I assumed is spot on. All of the weirdos on X (Twitter) decided that bezels and the G3 are everything. I personally have the 8 Pro, its only improved and slowly became my preference over my iPhone and Galaxy. Its simplicity is attracting.

I got the 256gb P8 for around $250 USD after trading in my 6a, a complete steal for that price. Reminds me of the Nexus days with that value. Don't forget the much faster charging on the 8, coming from the 6a the 27w vs the 18w is a very nice upgrade.

@SpiderC-666 2 месяца назад

Pixel 8 went on sale once around May for the same price as 8a at $499. With Google Fi offering free 8a, notice so many of them are on sale as open box on eBay to which I've just picked one up for $400. It is a perfectly new phone! Coming from iPhone12, it's practically similar size and weight but 8a has an all day battery life and does get hot during heavy usage.

@mozzybuzzy3179 3 месяца назад

In Australia the Msrp for the Pixel 8a is $849aud, but with google offering $300aud trade in bonus and $200aud bonus in gift cards, So the phone technically costs $350aud which around $230USD. Nothing can beat that value I bought one just to try the new Google AI features.

Google store has the 256GB 8a at 609 euros now and the 256Gb 8 at 659 euros. I wanted a S24 but with the Exynos chipset the battery time on it is worse than that of the pixel 8, go figure.

@sammyt3514 3 месяца назад

One of the main reasons holding me back from considering any Pixel is the feedback I read from many Pixel users about how bad cellular signal reception is, so I wonder if the two antennas on top in the 8a, as opposed to one on the 8, would help with that. I haven't seen any reviewer cover that aspect.

@Gooitt Месяц назад

G3 has zero issues with connection. So any of the pixels will have great signal

IMO, this is the first real successor to the Nexus. Perfect price, perfect set of features. Except in “old days” you got a crappy camera. Today, big bezels. The chip, camera, and screen are amazing for the price. Compare the 8a to to the iPhone SE. It’s not even a contest, 8a curb stomps the SE into ground beef.
