Google Pixel 8a

reasons to buy

Stock Android experience

The Google Pixel 8a runs on Android 14 and since it is a Google device, the handset will receive all the latest Android updates first and that too for the next 7 years. The phone also comes with several AI features and cleanest UI.

Reliable Cameras

The 64MP+13MP dual rear camera setup on the Google Pixel 8a does a great job of capturing photos with a lot of details and consistent colour profiles. The software also helps lower the noise levels in low-lighting conditions.

Compact build

Since the Google Pixel 8a has a 6.1-inch display, the build of the device is quite compact. It offers a good in-hand grip too, and most people will be able to reach the corners of the screen comfortably.

All-Day battery life

The Google Pixel 8a features a 4,492mAh battery that provides a backup of full day on a single charge that too with the highest settings (AOD and 120Hz refresh rate) enabled.

reasons Not to buy

Very slow charging

The Google Pixel 8a supports 18W charging, which is relatively slow. The handset takes more than an hour even when using higher capacity chargers. The charger isn't included in the box as well.

Heating Issues

One of the most prominent issues with the Google Pixel devices is the abrupt heating problem, which needs an immediate fix. To clarify, we did not encounter this issue, but some users may find it alarming and get unhappy with their purchase in a short time.

Price

The Google Pixel 8a starts at Rs 52,999. At this price point, you can get phones that offer better performance and camera setup. Apart from the software, the Pixel 8a doesn't have a lot going for it.
