I don't understand the hate for the bezels... it's not that bad honestly

[@azimhulaimi]

I thought so too. It's not as bad as I thought. Didn't even think about it. 😂

[@3rdWorldNola]

Goog always had a thing for bezels. It's the nature of the beast. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Its nice i purchased it today in the Bay color 128gb, with a $100 gift card from best buy. I figured a good deal why not 😊 i enjoy pixels alot.

Good choice. I got the new aloe color but it's not as good as it looked online.

​@@Pike3916 oh dang I was low-key wanting that color but I'm happy with bay 😊.

Obsidian 256 ordered today. Any additional thoughts on the phone in the last month? I am on a OnePlus that doesn't wifi call with Verizon so stay away from those. Unless T-Mobile works in your area. 😊

Google have basically killed the mid range market why would you buy anything else when your getting near flagship specs for a mid range price (£350) here in the UK on current sale.

[@cuteatif19]

If you do some reserch there are way better devices in half the price. Small compromise is in camera department. Everything else is better

[@JorgieTV01]

Agreed, best bang for buck. Getting one as a side phone when it drops price a little

[@THExDUDEx8624]

What does everyone think of the more round corners that Google is doing now? I personally prefer the square look of the older ones. The 6a for example. That's one thing I didn't like about the iPhone. Way to rounded off.

[@jorgedelgado8364]

I like the round edges. Feels better to hold

[@KoalaBeer.]

Love it

[@MRJLS15]

I love it tbh

[@brando3424]

reminds me of the Nexus 6 days, so I'm here for it

[@THExDUDEx8624]

You are right about big phone fatigue. I got my son the 6a last year. I liked the size so much I have him my "nicer" OnePlus I had just got. It's perfect size. Not small, not big. 😱🤯 The Goldilocks. Lol.

[@jchemin27]

I've been using the Pixel 6 for the past few years, and the fingerprint reader on the 8a is WAY faster.

[@DownMarketCoffee]

This is the main reason I upgraded from Pixel 6 to 8a...the 8a fingerprint reader is MUCH better!

[@marksouthwell4490]

Same on my 7a. The fingerprint sensor works every time. Face unlock is spot on too

[@StarNights]

Flipkart cheated recently in tactical way. 1. Ordered Pixel 8A in exchange of Pixel 7 (Pixel 7 rear camera not opening post update) 2.Also ordered Pixel buds got 999 in pre order with 8A 3. Initially pixel Buds got delivered 4.) Today when the courier boy came for exchange. Yantra app is closing after few tests. 5.) Already I have selected camera issue still yantra app unable to skip camera test and failing. 6.) Exchange got cancelled and Credit card amount got refunded. 7.) Here is the twist where 3999 got deducted as pixel Buds cost. 8.) Here none of the mistakes are with me. But still Flipkart unable to accept buds return due to their terms and conditions it since. 9.) as the exchange not happens 3999 got deducted. 10.) Even the issue with app we can't do anything. So everyone should avoid exchange cheating running by Flipkart

[@newfnshow031]

I have 107 gb available on my 128. I would say I'm making it just fine

[@aboutdamntime]

You’re a legend of KZbin…but please can we get chapters 😆

[@02elley]

iPhone 15 has a pretty similar bezel but people don't hate it and it's an expensive phone compared and only has 60hz screen. This phone offers a lot and people hate it. What a world we are living in..

[@robertwilsoniii2048]

First review I've seen that understands the a - series line. They really are the perfect phones. Not too big, not too expensive, great photos, color accurate screen, enough battery for one day and a price retail workers can afford. Nothing you don't need. It's a solid buy for 7 years. It'll be just as good 7 years from now as it is now. That's the a-series. No gimmicks, just decent engineering for a decent price. Pretty fair. And I like fair. Personally, I like the 7a and 8a photos better than the 8 and 8 Pro photos because the Sony sensors in the a - phones have better color seperation and wider native color gamuts than the Samsung sensors in the non a - phones, even if they have less dynamic range than the non - a phones. Because I prefer wide color gamuts more than HDR. So, for my preferences, the 8a is better than the 8. I subbed man! I agree that the a -series can be recommended to anyone.

[@neorich59]

I was on the verge of pre-ordering the 8a as an upgrade to my 6a, which I love. We have great Trade In deals, here in the UK. Glad I didn't, as I tried one in store and what put me off were the rounded corners, which look great from the back, but, to me, at least, look as if they "protrude" from the front, making the phone look asymmetrical and frankly weird. I'm pretty sure that the addition of a case would only exacerbate this. Now, every time I look at a review, that's the first thing I see. So,I am sitting tight until the Pixel 8 drops in price, which, to me looks better aesthetically, in spite of the fact that I don't like glass backs. It'll be in a case from day one anyway! 😉😉 I would wait for the 9, but that Camera Island........that's getting into Apple territory in terms of hideousness (and in terms of cases) and practicality.

[@NizarNoor]

This is not a small phone. It's really not. If anything it's slightly bigger than a standard/medium size.

[@wasifchowdhury6913]

it is...................

[@KoalaBeer.]

lol seen Samsung range 10.20 😂😂

[@Molix1981]

Get a Nokia 3310, its small...👌

[@ForsetiAE]

Small storage seriously that's not small lmao. In surprised you didn't moan & moan about bezels & other nitpicks alot of reviewers tend to do. I have the 7a & it's screen is much more dim then the 8a & it's visible outside. My only gripe is they the USB port is soldered onto the motherboard. People always like to rag on the A Series when 8 gigs or ram is fine & the Tensor G3 is no slouch comparable to a good snapdragon maybe not as optimized with battery out of the box without changing settings.

[@3rdWorldNola]

What's bad about USB being soldered onto motherboard ? Just curious. Ty in advance.

[@serious6647]

Finally someone with honest answer its not boring tho I feel like I should of got 8a don't care about wireless charging or resolution but I got it all with the pixel pro but the big screen can be daunting

[@sholaliadi7521]

The second speaker gril is a mic, not aesthetics

[@thefearlessduck]

Other reviewers say it gets very bright, comparable to most flagship phones

[@marksouthwell4490]

It goes up to 2000 nits peak brightness, which I would say is pretty good. Some flagship phones have less nits than that

[@JoeC5050]

its not compact way it looks (for those who are using compact phone S7 or S10E etc). Granted its compact for someone who is using 6.5" phone regularly.

What you mean ? Always that nice SE with airport bezels u could pick 😂

@@KoalaBeer. no. I am not a fan of huge bezels. Thats why I said 6.1" of Pixel 8 is not that compact.

What exactly google did it here? You are acting as 500 dollars is not much of money. 250 - 270 ish dollar phones have 12 Gigs of ram, 512 GB UFS 3.1 storage bigger and better 1.5K oled screen. This phone is trash with those bezels, 128 GB storage and a tensor chip. It baffles me how all tech influencers turns a blind eye to Google and Apple base iPhone 15/Plus model.

Was going to ask the same. Find me one proper phone at that price with those specs that will also be updated for more than 2 years. Bet you the list will be very very short. I doubt they will also take any decent phones comparable to the pixels.

@@sconnection Redmi note 13 pro+ have 3 year of OS and 4 year of security updates. takes good photos and costs half.

[@sconnection]

@@cuteatif19 Fair enough. In my country the phone is 400-500 euros thou. Quite a bit more than 270 dollars. And basically the same as the pixel 7a currently costs. But Xiaomi's might be a lot cheaper in the states. All that does come at the cost of having to watch adds when installing a new app thou. Or atleast it was that way on the Xiaomi I had a couple years back. There are other things to consider accept pure specs thou. Stock android, or stock android feel is a MUST for me. Something a brand like Xiaomi will never offer. But looking at pure specs. On paper, there are better phones for your money. But if you take into consideration other things than pure specs I think the Pixel A lineup is incredibly good value. That is a personal experience and opinion thou.
