    I've had absolutely no problems with the Nord n200 other than a shoddy fingerprint reader, but my next phone will be a Pixel just for the 7 years of updates.

    With better battery life the Pixel 8a would be perfect for most regular smartphone users except gamers and people who really want a high end camera like Iphone pro, Pixel Pro or Samsung Galaxy Ultra.

    Were the pictures backwards vs what was indicated on the screen? Looks to me like the ones marked 8a were more washed out which goes against what the reviewer was saying. But then with the videos it seemed to flip and the ones marked 12r were more washed out.

    The 12R's battery life is dead sexy! That is the only difference in the 12R's favor that I care about. For me, the superiority of the snapdragon is nice, but both will be plenty fast for whatever (this has been true for years). Camera and AV quality are the other 2 big features. Camera is a Pixel strength. My understanding is that the Actua screens support the brightest real world outdoor screen brightness on the market. The HDR peaks are less important to me. With that said, with performance being a functional wash. I think a decent camera, good screen and GREAT battery are more practically important than awesome features. I am saying this as a 4 generation Pixel user. The OnePlus 12R is the better buy. As I have invested heavily into magsafe accessories, it isn't the better buy for me, but still the better general purchase.

    At the end of the day, they're both oversized featureless garbage. And if you're going to miss BASIC functionality like expandable storage and a headphone jack, you will be much better served with a Galaxy A phone whose software runs leaps around both Google's and OnePlus' pathetic implementation of Android. Otherwise, if you like the crap shitock Android experience, get an Xperia 10.

    I appreciate your review on the Pixel 8a (and all your reviews 😊) Jaime. But I have to mention that many reviewers throw shade at pixel devices for their lack of gaming capabilities. I'm not sure I understand or agree with that. I have owned many pixel devices and I play some demanding games like COD mobile, PUBG and last day on earth. Never had any hiccups in performance and I run at high settings. Am I alone on this? Keep up the good work!

    owned the Nexus 4, the LG4, pixel 3a and i recently went from Pixel 4a to 8a. Nice upgrade from the 4a. The 8a is the first phone owned that can be used in sunlight --a game changer. I miss the removable battery and ergonomics of the LG4 but apart from that the pixel 8a checks all the boxes as an ideal basic daily driver.

    I've been using the 8a for a week now and I really like it. The biggest positive is the form factor. I'm tired of using 6.7 in phones and it's nice to have one where I can hold and use with 1 hand. The bezels could be thinner but doesn't bother me that much.
