It's $299 if you're a Google Fi customer right now.

399 would make sense, for 499 you can get a lot more phone then this.

One major question that did not get much attention was the thermal performance of Pixel 8a compared to 7a. This is such an important hidden aspect for longevity of the device for users. Hope you folks can perform some detailed testing and provide an update review. Thank you for your quick initial review.

The Google store is offering an extra £150 off the Pixel 8a in the UK if you trade in your old phone. This means I can get the Pixel 8a for an estimated £264 if I trade in my old Pixel 5. I'm seriously considering this offer 🤔

Exactly. A $200 difference is substantial. And comparing the sale price of one device (that isn't even going on right now) to the full price of another device (which will also go on sale soon) is just weird. I mean sure, if you go to buy a phone and they have the 8a for $499 and the 8 for $550, go for the 8 all day. But that won't ever be the case. If the 8 is on sale, the 8a will be too.

I just pre ordered it Today 😮❤

I got mine at a discount for 299 USD. Had the phone for a few days and upgraded from the Pixel 6. I'm in love with the pixel brand again after so many headaches with the 6. The 8a is fantastic!

Amazon is selling the Pixel 8 for $450. Unfortunately this is for a renewed phone. Google has a tendency to play around with their phone prices so hang on and wait for a price drop.

How is the loud speaker quality? Is 8a's worse than 8's?

Did anyone notice the camera visor on 8a was a bit slant, when put side by side to 8. 1:18 Don't mind my ocd 👀

8 by far

You ignored what many commented in the last video about pricing. You're comparing MSRP of the 8a against the discounted price of the 8. Pixel 8a will cost 399 shortly. You could've mentioned that they are doing some launch deals in some countries with trade-in offers for example. In Europe they are giving you 150€ extra for trading in your current phone, meaning, it already cost 399€ vs discounted price Pixel 8 at 650€ and discounted price pixel 8 Pro at 799-899€. Compare MSRP: - Pixel 8a: 549€ - Pixel 8: 799€ - Pixel 8 Pro: 1099€ Compared discounted price: - Pixel 8a: 399€ - Pixel 8: 650€ - Pixel 8 Pro: 799€

Why google dont sell their smartphones officially worldwide and also add 5G bands for worldwide too

Google immediately raised the price of the Pixel 8 back to its full price as soon as the 8A dropped. People keep saying its only $50 more but that isn't true. The Pixel 8 is currently $699. The Pixel 8 and 8 Pro WILL go back on sale soon enough, but the 8A will as well. Google will maintain a price gap between the two phones. Its not as simple as just spending $50 more the 8...

2:43 Most indeed.

Should not have bothered ,when they launch the Pixel 9 they could easily just leave the 8 on sale at a reduced price perhaps even $499 left the 7a on sale at $329 although with limited OS updates left it would be a hard sale ,the 8a just seems a pointless exercise when it’s so close in specs and price of the regular 8 ,plenty of Samsung mid rangers available for a lot lower price like the A35

@@Joseph-ub5wh Either way, its a good deal. Personally I'd go for the 8 because of faster charging, bigger battery, less bezels, form factor, brighter screen and stronger gorilla glass on front. I only like the 8a for the smaller camera hump. Price is obviously a factor, but I'm sure the 8 will drop in price shortly, and even then, trade in should be higher.

Very nice phone for daily usage

In India, it launched for 52,999 INR. That's about 635 USD. That's just, to be very polite, outrageously obnoxious.

How about the history of all of Google's A phones. They overheat and have to be replaced continually. I had 4 RMAs on mine last go round. Each time the screen went black and nothing could be done. Once while holding it in my hand and using Google Maps to look for a restaurant on vacation. Google needs to ditch the A line completely. Meanwhile OnePlus is eating their lunch.
