Google Pixel 8a Unboxing!

Google Pixel 8A Unboxing - In this video we do a early first impressions and unboxing of Google's all new Google Pixel 8a which comes in at $499 which means its no longer budget and now more like a mid range price point. The Google Pixel 8a features a Tensor G3 chip, AI features found on the Pixel 8 Pro, good size battery to last a full day and you get the latest Android 14. It also has a better 120hz vs the Google Pixel 7a 90hz. The Pixel 8a should make for a solid competitor to the likes of Samsung Galaxy A35, Nothing Phone 2a, and even phones like the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE. So if you plan to buy the Google Pixel 8a or are thinking about and need to know more, please consider leaving your thoughts in the comments below!

Hey man i need some advice, should i get the pixel 8a or the iphone 13? - the iphone can last till 2028-2029, the pixel can last till 2030 - I dont own an ecosystem of devices so it doesnt matter.

[@treydaypnw]

​@jonstrider8380 I'd get an iPhone 13 it might hold it's value better in the future.

[@worthless_opinion]

That blue is beautiful. Best blue phone I've ever seen.

Yeah that Blue is Nice

Hi,I am a great fan of the work you do here in all your videos you make.I love you bruh. By the way I am Nigerian in the center of Nigeria (ABUJA).I have always wished to own a Samsung flagship phone which would be a breakthrough in the aspect of communication and sophisticated performance of technology in general.I just do hope that one day my wish would come to pass

Nintendo will hate me but the Samsung Galaxy S10 E 4GLTE snapdragon 855 smartphone with 6GB of RAM and virtual RAM memory expansion is absolutely insanity the phone can run switch games I surprisingly got Pokemon let's go Pikachu to run solid 30fps with upscale of 1080P with more vibrant colours

[@anthonium.]

I could get this for $95 overall with some trade in and discounts plus gift card at a particular retailer. I have a 7 so it's a bit of a downgrade but I don't need all the latest bells and whistles. Just looking for smaller form factor and longer support cycle plus that BLUE! What do you think?

[@nickackermanchannel]

The smaller form factor is what I like most and the shape, I think that's not a bad move if you can deal with the less premium experience

[@anthonium.]

​@@nickackermanchannelagreed!

It won't be a downgrade, trust me.

[@beakenwyd]

tbh if they made it a 120hz ltpo oled display smaller bezels like on the base pixel 8 and slightly better battery and made the price 349-449$ and released the phone with the pixel 8 and 8 pro it couldve sold betterand. Been better

[@nickackermanchannel]

You're asking a bit much for that price then there would be no reason to have a smaller Pixel 8

[@daveyadict_]

I like the color ways, the aloe and the bay blue....but that price is asking way too much.

[@cowbatboots282]

If you buy it through Google-Fi it's only $250. I paid a total of $316 after shipping and taxes. :D

[@Ar7Er7]

Really nice device better than A55 , because flagship chipset , better update software and better’s camera

Is it a toaster then? Battery ? Samsung foundry 😮

[@gaganplaysgames564]

People are complaining about the bezels, meanwhile the real issue is the 18 watts charging speed. Nothing should be less than at least 30 watts in 2024.

They have to cut costs somewhere to get the price down

[@Khamae77]

Wonder why Pixel phones don't sell well a flagship phone at a mid range price especially when you take advantage of carrier deals. Seems a bargain to me.

Sad thing is smartphones with more RAM is much more powerful than the current switch and switch lite so sad

@@nickackermanchannel thank you so much. But I see the connectivity issue on pixel phones. Do you see or experience this?

[@anthonium.]

With a trade in plus carrier discount and best buy $100 gift card, the cost would be around $95 for me. Do you think at that point it is worth it? I have a Pixel 7 so a bit of a downgrade but I really want a smaller phone and longer support cycle. Plus I'm weak to Blue. What do you think?

[@cowbatboots282]

​@@arunsannakki6677there aren't connectivity issues. That's a service provider issue.

[@superiortoall22]

$499? For that? With Pixel 8 costing a bit more, Google shot themselves in the foot. $399 would’ve been the mark, but greed took over apparently.

[@nickackermanchannel]

Its $399 with activation on carriers, it will get reduced soon! Pixel A series always gets discounts later on. Apple iPhone SE is $400+ with taxes and has archaic feel.

[@jeezkanha8846]

Wait for a month it will sell for 349 lol

[@TheBNCoutinho]

I picked up the Pixel 7a last year on a sweet carrier deal here in Portugal for only 310€. This time the 8a has some even better deals 210€ for the 128gbs and 270€ for the 256gbs..

[@superiortoall22]

@@TheBNCoutinho I mean I got my 15 Pro Max for $300 on carrier deal, it’s a vastly superior phone for about the same price. The difference is in about 6 months, the 8a will be basically worthless unless you trade it in for another Pixel. Can’t resale it, no one wants them.
