Don't be caught out! - Google Pixel 8a Vs. Pixel 8!

Google's latest cut-down Pixel carries on the trends we've seen in the Pixel line as of late. However, there are some things that need looking at before you spend your hard-earned cash on one! Find out why in our Google Pixel 8a Vs. Google Pixel 8 comparison!

I got the 8a it's already good enough for basic stuff for life. Hopefully it holds out for 7 years

I went for the 8a because I didn't want to have to replace a cracked glass back panel every 6 months 😤

Where did you get the swirling wallpaper on the p8? Great vid too!

[kimroberts]

This is market specific. For example, in my market (Australia) the 8a is $849 - with a $200 rebate currently, making it $649. The 8 is currently $1199. That's a huge delta, making the 8a a no brainer between the two.

Really great camera comparison, thorough and a good range of shots!!

Pixel 8A are being sold by Vodafone in Portugal for about 215€ for 128GB or 260€ for 256GB with some Vodafone Points.
I think its a awesome deal, upgrading from iPhone 12!

so the 8A is 609 euro and the 8 is 660 euro both 256gb wich one is more worth it ? and 8a got 1 year more updates then the 8..

THANK YOU for that bit around the 2 minute mark about the panel variance. Sure, on PAPER they look the same, but I always noticed that the a-series had worse viewing angles and not as bright, even if they claimed it. Hell, even in store earlier this week I saw all 3 next to each other, the 8a, 8 and 8 Pro, and I thought the 8 looked the best when it came to color volume/perceived brightness. I typically prefer a cooler temperature screen, and while the 8 Pro looked cooler, the 8 just looked brighter to me.

Do you think, that 300€ is a good deal when trading in a pixel 6?

my pixel pro 7 has faced multiple issues (3 repairs in the month of May 2024 alone, for 2 screen repairs each at $255 and 1 motherboard replacement at $514). I ditched the pixel 7 pro, and I don't really need that high of specs. ink blots, front display cracks...

I have a feeling that the overheating issue might be amplified by the Unicorn Beetle cases (really tight fit) and damage the wiring and circuitry.

I currently don't know whether or not to purchase the Pixel 8 or 8a, or some other brand. My current full-time job includes working outdoors in the equatorial sun and rain.

Thank you very Much for your information.

Is it better to buy pixel 7 or pixel 8a now?
It's hard to find a reasonable comparison of both

[ForeverPopa]

Bro knows how to script a great video, keep the good work

[pokerboy]

The camera bump is smaller.on the 8a .. right.. that should make the 8a more sleek... No ??

[fightnight]

I like the Sony sensor on the A-series compared to the Samsung one in the flagship model. It's the reason why since Pixel 6a it always win the blind camera test in MKBHD's channel. I wish the flagships get back to Sony sensors.

I decided to pass on the 8a. Just purchased a used pixel 8 🤷🏿‍♂️

[gregbegy]

Would be great to see mire comparison with the 7 as I guess mire people like me will be looking at that. With the extra £150 trade in on a 7 I can get the 8a for about £220 so seriously considering

[ahmedabdi]

It depends what country you’re. I got pixel 8A for like $390 (tax included) while pixel 8 is at least $200 more expensive. So yeah in my case the 8A made more sense. Plus that Bay Blue 😍

[Marcin_Gorecki]

That blue colour has become somehow a kind of an hallmark for Pixels. Very often ppl are asking me what phone this is. I ordered mine as a replacement for very used Galaxy s10e. I choose this Pixel because it's very comfortable in hand due to the round corners. I love these bezels and it's size, it is almost the same as my s10e I used to. Perfect shape, colour, and a great deal in Europe. For the rest specs, that's even too much for me. I like it has not overpowered processor so it can keep some more battery. I don't need that.

8A. 8. Which one were you holding when you held it side-by-side?
