The Pixel 8a continues the tradition of a more affordable version of the flagship Pixel smartphones -- but with a lot of additions to the software and assistant features, this might be the most capable A-series device yet. At the end of the day, a $499 Pixel phone might be a great companion for capturing memories -- and that's exactly what I set out to do by bringing this phone with me to Japan for a trip. Let's see how it works out for me in this Pixel 8a Real World Camera Test!

Your videos never fail to make me feel super chill, especially with the choice of music in this one. Great to see you had a blast in Japan!

[@jamminout7671]

Lofi vibes are always welcome

I've been using the Pixel 8a for a couple days now and honestly it's been great. Sure it isn't flagship or anything but it does everything I need it to do. The form factor is great, I miss using a phone with one hand. The bezel doesn't bother me at all, I barely even notice it.

Googles stack of devices is quite perfect imo. With rumors of the 9 having a smaller 9 pro (which I would have loved to see a while ago), having to not lose all the amazing core functionality and still have a great main camera (lets face it, 99% of our shots are shot "in the moment" and we just use the main) is fantastic news. Crazy how everyone in my family now and extended family has a pixel. Its been my go to recommendation for people who just need a good "smart" phone that can take good pictures too.

[@mickeyatbp]

love how articulate you present these tech reviews! not only you discuss specs, but also your thoughts about its day to day use. thanks man! padayon!

[@daraniraj8848]

Always a pleasure watching your vids bro 👍🏽

[@johnhornemadrid]

Go Team Pixel 👍

[@selw0nk]

Nice you finally show your new partner. I noticed in past videos you only showed her back.

[@deniedbwayi2477]

nice to see ur videos again man

[@jaughnekow]

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with the bezels

[@pedrofigueiredo5810]

Great review as always! Quality!

[@kaffeice7]

aps amazing video !! so many good shots! i still think i prefer the pic looks on my 6a .. but ..overall i love how this phone looks, the rounded style is so eye candy ,wish only theyd sell it here officially .. anyway, deffo my next phone, this or perhaps the new SE4 iphone 15 ..

[@Ampedup562]

Pixel + Japan = Amazing photos

[@victormacharia6987]

Your camera tests are enjoyable

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

This video awesome Japan, great music background :), I just order a Pixel 8a in white and watching this video it being next to the steam deck lol i just got a steam deck a month very amazing device and you showing Chrono Trigger one of my all time fav game playing when i was young ... great game... also i'm excited for FFXIV dawntrail next month :)

[@nl101010]

Thanks Joshua, nice video! Yes I also like my Pixel 8a really much! Bezels are no problem at all. I like the round corners a lot! Easy and comfortable to hold. And snappy fast!😉👍

[@DannyFenton217]

Love this whole review. Still rocking my Google pixel 7A and the 8A is also a great option. I'm still going to stick with my phone though. Hopefully Google will continue to update it. Circle to search has been my most used feature this year. I actually use it for a very specific reason. When I need to highlight text in a video or search for a song, I can just press and hold on the home button instead of having to do the old multitasking method

[@sid_explains]

Awesome review especially how google AI can be a lifesaver while traveling! Love the Pixel 8a n Japan!

[@user-ui6et3xp4h]

Is Bose ultra better as anc or beat you introduce?

[@Dwayne3007]

The bezels do not bother me. I think some people talk down on it just to jump on the bandwagon.

[@luisquintero2992]

Josh! Give some advice. In your most honest opinion, which one would you choose, Pixel 8 pro or a Xperia 5 mk V?

[@newfnshow031]

I'm not josh but if it was my money I would buy the pixel. One good reason when u spend your money u need a company that will take care of u. In a year if you have a problem Google will replace it. Having said that u might not need the pro so why not consider buying this and get a device with 7 years of updates and save some money. I would just buy the 8a and choose the color you like. Good luck bud

[@darrentanch]

Joshua is playing Marvel Snap too

[@DewonoSiswardiyantoOni]

During the review, your phone is not seen using the case. Does the daily phone also not use a case?

[@Rodrigo-zn7ep]

Here in Portugal there's been some agressive deals of the Pixel 8A, i got mine a week ago for only 299€, some people even got it for less, after trading in an old device, for this price there's no phone on the market with this kind of camera (specially for photos) and software + AI features.

[@MK24ever]

Indeed, €214 in Vodafone, bought 4! One for each member of the family! Everyone's super happy with the phone.

[@janwillemdevries]

Nice review...its a nice phone but the pixel 8 and even the Pixel 7 which i have is a better buy!

[@aranperumal]

[@kaustubhdarade]

Just bought it really love the phone chin bothers me a little but not anything really bad charging speed don't matter much cause I charge at night it lasts whole day with 8+hrs screen on time at place where temp is 30+°c

[@gringojaylastimosa5935]

Didnt mention how many charge you did for a day

[@FN-170]

Ngl, I think the screen bezel are a non issue

[@ElMartilloBlanco]

Same. Visibly there’s not much difference. Physically, it means you’ll have less accidental touches along the edges of the screen.

[@hotdavesweet]

jv drunk is the best thing i have seen today on youtube

[@krystianstepien5835]

I wish Poland has the same prices as USA but in Polish currency. You buy 13 x Pixel 8A for your average monthly sallary in USA. In Poland we can buy 2 .... TWO PIECES.

[@davidc9005]

Like your pictures and vt ....

[@braskabani8011]

Is it true that pixel phones are becoming famous in Japan?

[@frankle9617]

$290 only :D

[@JoeGameVideos]

to me camera looks good enough and is upgrade of my 8.1 nokia with zeiss camera.. i mean its not amazing but iphone 15 max neither.. if you want to zoom in good and get high quality pictures you should not use phones for that

[@rick-deckard]

9:03 It's almost like it is idiotic to include 2 wides instead of a wide and a tele! I've been saying this for years but normies wanted an ultrawide and we lost forever. I feel your pain.

[@kpehe100]

The basic should no longer include the big bezels 0:12

[@Usersf134ssk]

Not a fan of the screen bezels. Looking like a cheap budget phone from 5 years ago.

[@edviges1]

Wtf is a "real world" camera test ?!

[@selw0nk]

😂 Out and about on a daily life.

[@3lectronic0]

Bad PWM, 2015 bezels, Gorilla glass 3, really google? poor battery life, Exynos (sorry, Tensor), slow charging, slow finger print sensor, for $500? No thanks.

[@dtincworldnews8922]

I've seen worse from Apple and Samsung.

[@Dwayne3007]

Sounds like you have the phone to experience it properly.

[@xenon6947]

I am confused as to why KZbin continues to recommend the Pixel phone to me, despite being aware of my strong dislike for the Pixel since I purchased the Pixel 6.

[@selw0nk]

You can always pick not interested on the homepage and it should not show Pixel phones anymore.
