One major question that did not get much attention was the thermal performance of Pixel 8a compared to 7a. This is such an important hidden aspect for longevity of the device for users. Hope you folks can perform some detailed testing and provide an update review. Thank you for your quick initial review.

Exactly. A $200 difference is substantial. And comparing the sale price of one device (that isn't even going on right now) to the full price of another device (which will also go on sale soon) is just weird. I mean sure, if you go to buy a phone and they have the 8a for $499 and the 8 for $550, go for the 8 all day. But that won't ever be the case. If the 8 is on sale, the 8a will be too.

You ignored what many commented in the last video about pricing. You're comparing MSRP of the 8a against the discounted price of the 8. Pixel 8a will cost 399 shortly. You could've mentioned that they are doing some launch deals in some countries with trade-in offers for example. In Europe they are giving you 150€ extra for trading in your current phone, meaning, it already cost 399€ vs discounted price Pixel 8 at 650€ and discounted price pixel 8 Pro at 799-899€. Compare MSRP: - Pixel 8a: 549€ - Pixel 8: 799€ - Pixel 8 Pro: 1099€ Compared discounted price: - Pixel 8a: 399€ - Pixel 8: 650€ - Pixel 8 Pro: 799€

Also, nobody should upgrade from a 7a. You are out of touch if you think somebody buying an A series should upgrade after a year when it still has 4 more years of updates (2+2).

The Google store is offering an extra £150 off the Pixel 8a in the UK if you trade in your old phone. This means I can get the Pixel 8a for an estimated £264 if I trade in my old Pixel 5. I'm seriously considering this offer 🤔

Thanks for your review! It's a good phone. Forget about the bezels forget about the downsides. It's a really good phone. There's not that many downsides of this phone. I've been watching reviews since I got this phone on Sunday and most people have switched from iPhone or another Android to this Google pixel 8a and they love it. So do I, it's an amazing phone. Amazing specs like stop being so picky people! It's a phone. It's not supposed to do drastic things like most people want in this day and age. I understand it's 2024 but stop with the negativity!

Should not have bothered ,when they launch the Pixel 9 they could easily just leave the 8 on sale at a reduced price perhaps even $499 left the 7a on sale at $329 although with limited OS updates left it would be a hard sale ,the 8a just seems a pointless exercise when it’s so close in specs and price of the regular 8 ,plenty of Samsung mid rangers available for a lot lower price like the A35

@Goodmanperson55
4 ай бұрын
@Oldasianguy That's mostly on you and your wrong reasoning. When people switch phones, it's never usually because new hardware persuades them. It's usually because old software remains unsupported. Just look at the iPhone market as a great example of the complete opposite. People tend to hold on to iPhones for longer than the average Android phone and they also retain a fairly high resale value. Despite all of Apple's faults, you can't deny the really long term support on some of their oldest phones. The Smartphone market is maturing and people are choosing to hold onto their existing phones for much longer. You're not seeing it now because we're just exiting era of disposable phones, but I can guarantee you would start seeing 5-year-old pixels become increasingly common. Google is doing a pretty good job of filling in this obvious but unanswered demand for long term phones. Even better if they can supply battery replacements for the long term.

When I got the 6a I got that for 350 as well. Both phones cost me 350. I may pay the difference up front but I'll get it back. Yes I paid 700 for two phones that I could have spent on a base 7 or even 8. But I feel like it's worth it.

@Oldasianguy the 8 may be better. I know some said it went down to 500 I couldn't find it. I've switched every two years from the a. I went from the 4a to the 6a now to the 8a. As long as Google keeps using Samsung as the tensor producer I won't switch from the if it does in fact get 7 years of updates like they advertise. I've heard some say beginning in 2025 they're supposed to use TMC I think. I just kept going with the A series because it's affordable. I think the A series will be discontinued going forward and we'll just have a pixel mini or some sort of budget pixel under the baysic. Google is slowly becoming like Samsung and Apple with their pricing. I don't see the 9 being 699 when it comes out I think it will go up to 799 but we'll see. Sorry if I took offense to any of your comments.

Google immediately raised the price of the Pixel 8 back to its full price as soon as the 8A dropped. People keep saying its only $50 more but that isn't true. The Pixel 8 is currently $699. The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro WILL go back on sale soon enough, but the 8A will as well. Google will maintain a price gap between the two phones. Its not as simple as just spending $50 more the 8...

How about the history of all of Google's A phones. They overheat and have to be replaced continually. I had 4 RMAs on mine last go round. Each time the screen went black and nothing could be done. Once while holding it in my hand and using Google Maps to look for a restaurant on vacation. Google needs to ditch the A line completely. Meanwhile OnePlus is eating their lunch.
