Excellent Phone for the $$$

Kevin · 5 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I recently got my hands on the Google Pixel 8a, and I have to say, it's an impressive piece of technology. The Pixel 8a combines some of the best features from Google's flagship lineup, including the powerful Tensor G3 processor, excellent cameras, and a sleek design. However, I must admit, my excitement was initially tempered by a bit of disappointment. When I first went to purchase a new phone, the Pixel 9 was presented as the top choice. With its cutting-edge features and sleek design, it was hard not to be drawn to it. Unfortunately, the Pixel 9 was not available at the time, leaving me feeling like I had to settle for a lesser version. Despite this initial letdown, the Pixel 8a has proven to be anything but a compromise. Its performance is smooth, the camera quality is outstanding, and the battery life is impressive. While I might have had my heart set on the Pixel 9, the Pixel 8a has more than exceeded my expectations and has become a reliable companion in my daily life. If you're looking for a high-quality phone that won't break the bank, the Pixel 8a is definitely worth considering.

For "over 24 hours": Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Average battery life during testing was at least 31 hours. For "Up to 72 hours": Estimated battery life based on testing using a median Pixel user battery usage profile across a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of limited other features that are default in Extreme Battery Saver mode (which disables various features including 5G connectivity). For both claims: Battery testing conducted on a major US carrier network in California in late 2023 on pre-production hardware and software using default settings, except that, for the "up to 72 hours" claim only, Extreme Battery Saver mode was enabled. Tests begin with phones fully charged. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Actual battery life may be lower.
