Pixels are really cool phones. At my age 72 still impressed with them. 😊❤
Happy birthday, be healthy
I only got the 7a for the Qualcomm Wifi chipset. I don't have much of a reason to upgrade now, and would like to avoid interacting with skynet as much as possible. I am interested to see the Satellite features coming in tho and how those can be used. I suppose I will wait for the 9a or 10a
I have a pixel 8 pro and I bought a pixel 8a because of an incredible trade in deal in the UK making it about 250 pounds. I traded a Samsung with a cracked screen in for 193 pounds plus 10% in google store credit on the full price. I love the 8A. Its a smaller form factor and is light. I use it when I am out running and exercising in the park. Its a great phone and it works well.
8:27 Ultra HDR is an Android 14 feature, even the 4a 5G got it with the update
I got the 7a because the 8a was 50% more expensive lol
From a security perspective I think the longer support guarantee and MTE support make getting this phone over the 7a or any 7th gen pixel for that matter, worth it.
Plus it will depreciate over time, making it more accessible.
IPhone, Galaxy, Pixel.. are these the top 3 phones consistently? And they only compete with cheaper versions of their own phones.. are there any other good phone names out there? A 4th or 5th option. Motorola? One Plus. I have Tmobile, but can get an unlocked phone.
I've yet to see or feel real world improvements in any of these phones
So true. The only incentive to upgrade is if you're coming from a much older phone, the security updates, or if you damage your phone beyond repair.
I am glad that the pixel 8a comes with a plastic back, that’s exactly what I wanted, something that won’t break into millions of pieces if dropped, like iPhones or Samsungs….
8a(256) in India is slightly cheaper than S24(256). 😂
It’s so overpriced
No way bruv, you're clearly buffing or you probably meant the s23
@@nathandrake3200nope. Google is ultra dumb when it comes to pricing their products in India. S24 retails at 64k while the 8a is 60k, just 4k cheaper.
This is exactly why Google products aren’t selling well.
Yupppp bro me also using 8 pro bay 128 brought to me by my dad from UK unlocked ...it cost him 960 pounds in October 2023 😂😂😂😂
@@nathandrake3200 Amazon S24 256 Gig ₹64k
Flipkart(Only Google Retailer) 8A 256 Gig ₹60k
I don’t know what they were smoking when deciding on their pricing strategy in India. 🤦🏻♂️
@@karthik_mv you lying bruv, I just checked the Amazon India prices , S24 256 retails for 80k and 8a 256 for 60, you probably so some generic seller price lol
Well considering that you can trade in you 7a for the 8a and you can get it at a discount its a pretty compelling upgrade tbh
I have a pixel 7 it's fine but that's all it will ever be just fine, It's not a great experience the fingerprint sensor sucks and it's a bit buggy.
Heats a lot while gaming/using camera
Camera app is buggy
The editing is slow
Brightness not enough
Poor battery life
Vibration goes unnoticed
Pros:
Great speakers
Great camera
I traded in my Pixel 7 for an 8a and thrilled to finally have reliable face unlock and fingerprint recognition. With the trade-in deals it's well worth doing.
Same on the pixel 8
My Pixel 7 Pro has screen burn in, so think I'd give Pixel phones a miss altogether.
6 Pro had the same issue.
Wait both phones are blue? I see blue and white
8a has a more saturated blue whereas the 7a is a pale blue, the 7a looos more blue irl
I have a pixel 6a and I hate more then any phone I ever had!
Interesting, what makes you dislike the 6A? Personally I have the 6A and the only reason I have it is because my pixel 5A was bricked and Google just sent me a 6A to replace it. But overall I've been loving the phone especially on Android 15!
The Pixel 6 series had serious issues, especially with overheating, but it was Google's first iteration of adding in their modified Exynos chipset. The 7 Series is a slight upgrade, but I still constantly run into thermal issues and freezes. I can only Imagine the 8 Series will be back to more of the same with the implementation of AI. That being said, Pixel is still one of the best phones for customizations and tweaks. 7a is still one of my favorite phones right after the Nexus 5
Same I had a 4a and that was a great experience I've had a few phones with their own issues but the 6a is just riddled with connectivity issues, glitches, overheating, lag, abysmal battery, inconsistent charging speeds, etc

Couldn't be more accurate, very well said
Pixel 8 Pro on sale for $550
I hate the form factor of the Pixel 8a, the Pixel 7a is much nicer looking
Couldnt disagree more. The rectangle shape is absolutely awful to hold
@@thehomiedan6378 I bought a Pixel 7a last week to replace my damaged Galaxy Z Fold 4 and I've never had a problem with the form factor. It must be the way I hold my phone, I don't tuck it into my palm
Does anyone really care what color their phone is. I assume most people cover their phone for protection????
I specifically bought the blue 7a cause of the design and color, I dont use cases so should everyone, cases just add bulk and make the phone feel cheap, also if you cant handle a phone without dropping it then thats a you problem
The 8/8a curved design is fugly
Left pixel phones for oneplus 12.
noice
Isn't this guy uses iPhone?
..no. wait for the 9..
I'm waiting for the 17
😂@@cyc00000
Isn't iPhone better?
iPhone 15 also starts at 800 dollars
No
The hardware is certainly better!
Pixel 7a has 60hz screen aswel as 90hz
