Is the Pixel 8a worth it in your market? In Canada I’d say it is, around $300 cheaper than the Pixel. Subscribe for more content! Day in the life with the S24 Ultra in Japan is next.
The earliest review so far I think. And it makes me looking forward to my preordered Pixel 8a with this nice aloe color. Here in Germany it comes for 549 Euros with 128 GB of storage. The Pixel 8 costs 100€ more. So keep up the great work and c u next time.
I'm in the US and received my 8a on Saturday. Really enjoying so far. I'm coming from a 6a and really like the new screen and facial recognition. Not sure I will use it but it's also nice to have the wireless charging.
@@johnganta Sorry but I didn't get a chance to use it a lot being a busy weekend. I had it charged to 100% at about 7pm Saturday and didn't put it on to charge until Sunday night about 9:30 pm and it was still at about 30%.
🐬 I'm torn now because I really love that green colour, and I'm tempted to upgrade from my 6 Pro, but should I spend a little extra on the 8, or hold out for the 9?! Why is it so confusing 😅
Best Buy has a good promo going rn. $100 BB gift card w/ purchase (could consider that an additional $100 off the phone) and there's increased trade in value for previous pixel devices. I'm trading in my like new 6a for $180. All said and done after tax and including the BB gift card that's $270~ for a brand new pixel on release day. Not a bad deal especially considering I got the 6a for $250 about 2 years ago. I'd bet the trade in value of your 6 pro is better than my 6a as well!🤘
@@__RustyShackleford__ Over here in the UK I can get the 8a for £206. The Google Store will give me £284 trade in for my 6 Pro and I have some store credit to use so it's very tempting
An interesting video with useful comments. The video covers many aspects hence I'll watch again to make sure I appreciate what I can do with my new 8A (aloe colourway...yes its different and distinctive! ).
Hey Rjey, are there any issues you noticed with regards to overheating and battery life? I currently own an iPhone 12 mini and would like to upgrade to the 8a. 🐬🐬
De todas maneras creo que un iPhone 12 mini podría aguantar otro año sin despeinarse, mejor espera al Pixel 10 que seguro darán un plan de trade in muy bueno como hicieron con el 8a. Si esperar no te suena bien, ve si hay trade in para tu iPhone, aquí en España me dan 260€ + 150€ en el Google store por mi Pixel 6a.
how does it compare to the Pixel 8? Here in Sweden the 8a launch price is 6600kr (~$600), whereas the Pixel 8 can routinely be found for ~7500kr (~$700), so kinda debating whether the extra money is worth it. Considering how badly the Swedish krona has plummeted in value in recent years either one is expensive at this point :/
8a is $499 in the US. 8 is $599. If past continues then the 8 might drop down to $549 or less again, but we don’t know for sure if/when they will go on sale again. Just get the one you want now if you need a new phone and want a Pixel.
I'd really love to try out pixel voice to text because I have an African accent. Hopefully Google considers optimizing African accents just as well as the Western ones
I really like this phone and the idea of keeping it very similar to the flagships, but the price has to be reduced. My theory is that this will get aggressive discounts in the future (Black Friday maybe) or will be much cheaper in the resale market (swappa, ebay, etc.), and then it'll for sure be a good deal. 🐬
@@RjeyTech thank you Rjey! How about its charging speeds? I have a 6a and i also have Op 8T and my 6a heats up like unlike anything i have seen. Does it heat up and have issues while charging too?
@@RjeyTech I am exchanging my 8t with 8a and the prices comes down to 350usd in my county including a pixel buds A! What do you reckon, is it a good deal?
Could you pls tell me, I’m just want new phone, now I have Iphone 11 and I thought will wait 9 or 9 pro mb take this 8a, I need compact, smooth screen and I want to wear without a case, hard dilemma, could you pls help me😢
@Girish4944 - bro I too have pixel 4a and other than battery draining issue it has no other problem, I am still confused whether to switch to pixel 8a or not. Can you please share your feedback about the phone battery and performance and heating issue
I haven't had too much interaction with this phone, but I can definitely tell you that this phone feels really great in the hand. All you need is a screen protector, and that's all she wrote. 📱👌
Love the green and blue colours, but moved on to nothing phone 2 and love the software experience and performance is better than the pixel 7 phone i owned before.

Why do all these reviewers keep saying that the pixel 8 is $549 in the US? It was $549. It is no longer that price.
Cause they all just say the same thing with a bit of personality sprinkled in
I saw it in Morocco one month ago at a small market there. It's an excellent device; I really like the color and rounded corners.
It’s a great form factor! Colour is next level
Every time I see this display it reminds me of the iPhone 11 and Samsung s10e.
Those bezels are a deal-breaker for me tbh. Such a beautiful phone otherwise though. 🐬
Team PIxel has nothing on Rjey 🐬
Haha we finessed them! 🤣🐬🐬🐬
quick question - does it have all the pro camera features like action pan mode and long exposure etc?
Same question
It does

No selfie shots ,??? 😮😮😮 Howx the front camera 🤳

Same sensor as the 7a, not the 7. The a-series sensor is half the size.
Those thick bezels are a big no. Pixel 7A looks more modern than it.
It's sharp corners are hard on palm while gaming unless you are using soft case
Best review ❤
Thanks a ton
Just pre-ordered Pixel 8a with exchange on Pixel 4a I got it for 450$
Could've sold the 4a and got 100 dollars to get this for 400
@@s.m.pravin9738 it was not in a great condition

Does the ultra wide angle and front camera also 4k 60?
Yup
I have the P7P and I would love to get this pixel 8a any advice plz
I’d keep the 7 pro and wait for the 9 pro
Should I upgrade to pixel 8a from the 7
@@RjeyTech
You killed this jawn Rjey ✊🏾
Which camera is better? 8 or 8a or both at the same level?
Technically, Pixel 8 is better. But it all rests upon how much you can identify it's specific features for specific shots, and get a great click.
Going to pre order tomorrow ❤
Excited for you!
🐬 really enjoyed your summary of the 8a.
Где можно скачать такие обои как у тебя?
🐬 that color speaks to me. Great video!
I love it!🐬🐬
Pixel 8a vs Samsung S24 (base version)?
6:57 the camera is impressive
Yeah I was caught off guard, great camera upgrade
New sub! 🐬 love this video
How wpuld you describe the video?
Great video 🐬🐬🐬🐬
Should i exchange my pixel 7 with this 8a ?
yeah its a nice option tbh
Yeah that’s a good upgrade imo
already reviews?
Love the green and blue colours, but moved on to nothing phone 2 and love the software experience and performance is better than the pixel 7 phone i owned before.
I can relate with performance thing but not the software it is better in pixel
Same story but nothing Phone 2 is so uncomfortable to hold
Base s23 is below 50k INR now
Yeah inflation is real, the 8a 256GB is $769+tax in Canada...
That's crazy. Definitely not a budget price
I don't think I can love a phone with big bezels. I'm so used to thin bezels
Love the color, but will stick with my Pixel 7...for now! 🐬
at least make those bezels symmetrical enough, the bottom chin is huge!
Bro knocking this one out early!🐬🐬
You already know!

Where the hell are people getting a Pixel 8 for $550 US? It's $700 for me, and that's just for the 128gb.
It was on sale about 2 weeks ago for that price. It happens often.
Ok, you lost me at the chipset. That's the only thing that makes a phone.
that screen is tiny tho
and same weak pixel battery life
Thanks you
Thank you too!
You lost me with the bezels.
Those bezels in 2024... google why? 🤦🏿♂️
Awesome 🐬🐬🐬

terrible buy - why would anyone buy this over the pixel 8? same price in some markets
