Google Pixel 8a - Unlocked Android Phone with Google AI, Advanced Pixel Camera and 24-Hour Battery - Aloe - 128 GB

My husband likes his new phone after I helped him adjust a few things. Was his 70th BD gift. It's a lot faster than his old Motorola. I have a Google Pixel too. All the swiping at first was hard until I adjusted it too. Battery life is good, Screen good, plenty bright. Picture good. Easy to use after learning about it. Charges fast. With rubbery case east to hold.

very straightforward with the review here, the phone can do alot for how small it is. If you are going to worry about anything on this phone its the battery life and processor, its not ideal for long play on mobile games but this thing can last about 24 hours doing anything social media or web browsing. I recently switched to visible wireless network and it does have some issues switching between 5G and LTE alot but other than that the phone works with most major networks

My husband bought me one. My brother ran over his other phone so I replaced it with this one. Size is perfect. My husband has a more expensive phone but he makes me take the pictures because the quality of mine are better. It is a easy to use phone. I am so happy with this phone. Have dropped several times with not damage. My brother love the one I got him and he has managed to not run over this one. Easy to set up, if existing service just take to phone provider and they can transfer service with ease. They would rather you buy one from them, but this was significantly cheaper that the same phone at the cellular provider. Came overnight which as great. Excellent value for price.

The Google Pixel 8a has most of the same features as the higher end Pixels at a more friendly price. Very solid. Great screen. Very fast. Features the Gemini AI system. One of the best cameras you can buy (although it lacks the zoom capacity of the higher Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro). Very easy to set up and it was easy to switch phones on Mint Mobile -- just a matter of removing the SIM card from the old phones and placing it in this one (it also has eSIM capability). It was on sale for $450, unlocked. That's great value.

I am very happy with my Pixel. I started looking for a phone with a decent camera so I don't have to carry a "real" camera everywhere. I kept running into suggestions of specifically the Pixel 8a so I dug further. It's not a "cheap" phone but certainly not at the high end either - as a phone it's fine, as a camera I'm finding it superior! I love the software that lets you do some major editing right there on your phone. Unfortunately, I am still going to want a camera for long zoom shots, but this one works far better for most situations and in low light, e.g., than others I have had. Definitely recommended.

The phone is GreatFirst time I pay that much for a phone I'm sure it will last longBattery is great , charge is good the camera is really Great better than any phone rn. Gemini is Great on this phone. Hope this phone at least 5 years

So far so good. A seal on one side of the box was open, but the seal on the other side was intact. The phone seems fine though. No scratches or scuffs thankfully. I was happy it works with Mint mobile, and the Pixel 8a is a nice change from the Galaxy s22 ultra. I do like that the touch navigation on the home screen is pretty much the same as the Galaxy so it's already an easy transaction. I do think it's weird that it didn't come with a charger plug, but it did come with a cable. Other than that, I'm a fan.

Purchased July 2024. The good news is that the tensor processor with 8MB RAM is plenty snappy to handle every workload I threw at it. Long lasting battery and the screen is crisp and clear. Would be a nice phone for the price, but...I have had nothing but problems with Bluetooth devices and the Pixel 8a. Constantly get device unexpectedly disconnected error, have to re-connect and re-pair devices all day. Phone freezes when transferring a BT call from the car to the phone. Took it to UbreakIfix per google support for warranty repair. Replaced the main board, and guess what - the new main board has the same defect. No real surprise I guess. So now I'm 20 hours into trying to get this junk fixed; it's really difficult now since the serial number and imei have changed.Now its an exercise in futility since I already bought a new phone, but I'm curious how bad the google support experience can be - pretty bad so far.I asked for a refund but no bueno.In case you wonder: The Motorola phone before 8a connects and remains connected to all the same BT devices. The Samsung phone after 8a connects and remains connected to all the same BT devices. The Pixel 8a main board, and replacement main board are defective.Before you buy search for network and Bluetooth problems with Pixel 8a.Alas, one star for a defective phone that could have been a great deal. At least I can narrow my phone choices by one manufacturer the next time I shop.

I switched from iPhone to Google pixel 8a and I LOVE it! So easy to transfer your things from iPhone to Pixel. Easy to navigate and use. Love how clear everything looks. Never going back to iPhone

Upgraded from a Pixel 3a because it was finally starting to fail and crash. It's new, it's fast, but in just about every other way it's worse than the 3a was, which is absurd for a phone released in 2024.A short quick hit list of big things that are worse than the 3a:-runs hot; anything that takes some processing power will make this phone almost uncomfortably warm.-fingerprint sensor. It's no longer on the back, making unlocks awkward, and it's much less responsive. The sensor on the front is unreasonably bright when it's active. I have to redo my print weekly. The PIN unlock is also poorly designed, with unnecessary key presses to get through. The old swipe was so much better. This is a big one, because it makes unlocking take more attention and any use of your phone more annoying. Maybe it'll get me to use it less at least.-charges EXTREMELY slowly, regardless of the charger. Like an hour to go 15%? Hilarious.-the touch screen has some randomly weird responsiveness and sensitivity? This could be a software thing I guess, but, for example, the X button to cancel directions in Maps just simply won't work for me.-the Bluetooth is slower to connect; to pair with my car it typically fails at least twice.The good? The camera is great, and it's minimal on bloatware. Overall I just can't believe it's worse than my phone from 2019. I chose it over some better deals on some older pixel models because of the long-term updates, but with how poorly the charging and heat are when it's brand new I'll be amazed if it lasts that long. This will be my last Pixel.
