[@spyder000069]

I picked up an 8a to try out back to back with my pixel 6. Testing the camera I found the 8a to have more realistic colors vs my 6 which looked like it added contrast/saturation. I could not see any major difference in low light. The 6 had more greenish/blue to the sky and trees which the same pic on the 8a was perfect. Shooting video at 4k60 with stabilization the 6 had micro studders when panning where the 8a was very smooth and close to what I expect from my gopro 10/12. The 8a was sharper in the video as well and you could tell a big difference just looking at vegitation on the ground. Connection speeds and reception seem equal. I prefer the smaller size of the 8a. So far my only negative is the charge time. I didn't think it would be a significant factor as I am not a gamer or on my phone all day but I usually reserve charging to my daily drive and typically by the time I get somewhere my 6 was close to topped off but the 8a is way behind. It won't affect my usage but I can see how it would affect others. Hope that info helps anyone looking to upgrade. The lower price plus the $100 google store credit made the 8a a great value for me.

[@slavaukrania]

I'm getting the 8A to upgrade from 4A. 4A is fine, but the battery is due for a replacement soon ($100). So, I thought about trading it in for ($140), Google store credit ($100, expires after a year) and ($50) statement credit if I pay with my Google credit card. Now the cons: I'm disappointed that it still has Gorilla Glass 3, thick bezels, much more expensive than previous models, and Google support is horrible. I had a horrible experience with the 6A ( constantly overheating and dropped calls ), I gave up on the phone after 6 months of trying everything. The pictures on the 6A were amazing... In general, I'm more tempted to get the OnePlus 12 or 12R over the 8A for a similar price. Even though it won't get 7 years of OS updates with the OnePlus, I think I would still get a more reliable phone and have a better customer service.

Currently using a pixel 3a with a burned out selfie cam. I had upgraded to the 5a a few years ago but it's motherboard fried after an update so I had to go back to my old 3a (that I'm using now), to avoid buying a new phone at the time.

Or am I better off going with a diff phone (assuming I don't want to spend the money for the pro)

Is it correct that slower charging generates less heat snd so better for battery longevity?

[@pascal9728]

No, that is no longer the case. Among other things, the devices temporarily reduce the charging power in order to keep the temperature low. All of these precautions ensure that smartphones with particularly high charging power have, on average, even longer-lasting batteries than their slower competitors. For its iPhones, Apple says that the device should still offer around 80 percent battery capacity after 500 charging cycles. For the GT 3 with its 240 watts, however, manufacturer Realme even speaks of 1,600 cycles.

Never had so much trouble deciding between phones. Close to opting for 8 Pro but my tiny lady hands have me second guessing with that 6.7 inch screen, plus the cam seems great which my A52s Samsung of 2 years is not. The A52s 6.4 is still noticeably smaller when sat beside the 6.7. I did have Moto G9 Plus years ago which was 6.8 inches, then iPhone 13 Mini which was like a dollhouse phone, squint-alert. The 6.2 inch Pixel 8 is so tempting. Might be a grown up for once and wait for the Pixel 9 Pro to come down.

Can’t wait for the review of the Vivo X100 Ultra

[@paulremick4291]

I can buy an open box pixel 8 pro for $479. Is that a good price or do u think it will go much lower Xmas time? Ty

[@leedolian4482]

I had to upgrade or i'd lose my phone and the stores only had the 8a in stock. I was a little bummed but after your review I realized I don't need the pro8 features. Thank you

For $169 net thru the Google store with my 6A Trade-In, the 8A is a no brainer.

First of all - Finding you here on KZbin has been an absolute treat! Then... Maybe I'm just too picky, but the 8a porcelain is the only color (colour?) of the 8 or 8a that leaves the camera bump as natural brushed aluminum a not matching anodized one. I like the contrast. And it's a $200 difference between the 8 and 8a, here in the States, so I have ordered the a this morning. Thanks for your great help and here comes my subscribe click : -)

I was tending towards the 8a but the battery loading time is putting me off. Anyone any advice?

[@lamewatcher1]

Loved that three way!

[@prepare3envelopes]

11:15 8a doesn't have 18w wireless charging. Only 7.5w.

[@chancesareshewears]

I like the camera bar on the 8A, it feels so much better than that slab of sharp steel on my 8pro

Having a Pixel 7 Pro, I decided to upgrade to the more compact Pixel 8. Turns out I cannot use small screens anymore. Returned the otherwise splendid phone. I'm waiting for the Pixel 9 Pro now. Had dirty thoughts about Samsung and iPhone but both are overpriced regarding what they offer.

This is the way 😊

80 minutes vs over an hour and a half is hardly any difference.

Thanks for rewiev

[@geoffreyguez]

Just got the pixel 8, work like bliss ! There are some mistakes about the wireless charging and zoom capabilities of the pixel 8a : Wireless charging max out at 7.5 watts Zoom is max X5 (not 100% sure about this one)

[@laurag9792]

Zoom IS 8x on pixel 8a

[@geoffreyguez]

@@laurag9792 my bad I wasn't sure on this one
