Google's Pixel A series smartphones have always been the go-to mid-range devices for reliable smartphone photography and not so much about performance. They have also been the go-to devices for those who have wanted a vanilla Android software experience, as they have always offered the cleanest and most updated Android software experience (along with reliable update timelines) compared to all other brands at this price point. In short, Google's Pixel A series was an attractive choice for the average consumer, even though these were not the best devices for gaming or battery life. However, Google had to upgrade it with the times; it wanted to cram in more features to compete with other brands, and so we had a very interesting and feature-packed Pixel 7a, which was launched at Rs. 43,999 (just like the Pixel 6a).

Google Pixel 8a Summary

The Pixel 8a has a fresh new design that will remind many of the premium offerings in Google’s smartphone lineup. Its design still uses a plastic back but now has a more premium feel thanks to its soft, frosted finish.

The phone also offers a solid IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Its Tensor G3 brings plenty of new AI features once reserved for the premium Pixels to the A series. Performance is still not its strong point, but it offers decent performance for everyday app usage.

Still, the camera performance is pretty solid, and the same can be said about the rear camera’s low-light performance, which works well on both primary and ultrawide cameras.

Battery life is not great but will last most users a day. Charging speeds are still quite slow and the same applies to the Qi standard wireless charging the phone offers.
