I'm in Australia, and got my pixel 8a,black, with 128gig's, for just $100 upfront, all i had to do was change my service provider and i will receive a gift voucher for $750. Once i did that i got the phone, which normally costs $850,for,as mentioned, $100 upfront. The plan also gives me 120gigs of data,which is 10gigs more than what i was getting, and is only going to cost me $15 more per month,which is only $3.75 per week more. Coming from a relatively glitchy galaxy s20, i think it's a pretty good deal.
Also had it for 4 days so far. My best Android experience ever so far. Battery has surprised me and OS is proving very reliable for what I use it for. No gaming, nothing too taxing. Got it on an excellent telco deal where it will only be AU$424 over the plan period.
Great review, thanks for doing this. Just picked up a pixel 8a from BestBuy in Canada and with a $150 CDN discount, it cost me just $398 US! Great deal.
I still like this phone and can basically get it free with my flip 4 trade in upgrade. Even though pixel 8 pro and S24 are much better I dont want a thin brick in my pocket
@@2greenifypixel 8a has much better camera, brighter and more durable display and better battery. The only advantage the flip has is it flips and the screen is taller. Also pixel 8a is slightly more powerful then flip 4.
It is a very good device! Blah blah blah it's an amazing phone and it IS powerful! See I don't understand why people come on CZcams and complain about the Google pixel 8A....... Because honestly it has everything that the Google pixel 8 has and the 8 pro. And if you look at benchmarks okay so it's not up there perfectly but damn it it has the same processor as the 8 pro. Hate to break it to you but it's a good phone. This Google pixel 8a is amazing and I don't care what anybody says LOL. And honestly if you're going to complain about it, just don't get it. Don't get a mid-range phone if you're going to complain about it! Cuz damn it. The Google pixel 8A is an amazing phone. I love it. Just got it a few days ago and I'm in love with how it performs way better than my iPhone 13
I messaged u but u didn't respond 🥺 anyway good video I'ma pick this up for free or should I choose the 8 for free or I could pass both of these up and get the 9 in Oct in not sure what to do I just want a bright screen and good battery
I'd wait for the Pixel 9 so you're not missing out on any Gemini Ai goodies this year. It's always better to have the newest SOC from Google and that's the Tensor G4, whatever they'll name it.
They legitimately don't bother me. Razor thin bezels are like a curved display in my opinion. They look nice, but they make actually handling the phone more difficult. Especially one handed. You can solve this problem by putting a case on it, but then what were you complaining about bezels for?
Got my Pixel 8a 4 days ago and its been awesome to use, def worth it to me at least
No other mid-range phone will get excellent pictures like a pixel nor they'll get as many updates or the fluid UI experience

Great job: very well explained 😊
I used to have the 7a. Am I imagining it, or are those bezels on the 8a bigger??
Same. They do seem bigger than on my 7a
6a had 83% screen to body ratio
7a had 81.8%
8a has 81.3%
Do yes, you're right
@@shuttzi9878 they're regressing with the bezels man
@@shuttzi9878 Can't understand why the bezels are increasing, other than to make savings for other features.
Ive seen a couple of videos, and they say that the finger print is quite fast...

do not trade in a flip for this phone. That would be a mistake... I have a pixel not this one but trading the flip for this is wild
Isn't the s24 smaller in every dimensions including weight?
Keep me he flip. I have the pixel 8a, its great, but the flip 4 surely is better.

how is the battery life?
So far for me, the best battery life I’ve had on any Android phone before. Haven’t fully switched but so far so good
I can't help but think that if Google didn't make this phone reviewers would give it the Essential PH-1 LG treatment.

When the price drops, I'll trade my Pixel 5 in and use it as my secondary device.

anyway good video

If you can get the 8 or 8a for free why wouldn't you get the better one?

I am definitely enjoying it got it for $400 😊
I love compact devices
3:10 I hate light mode
Pixel 6
£160 👍🏻
the bezels are unacceptable in 2024

So much dislike for this phone on CZcams. This channel being no exception
