Instead of buying a Pixel 8, buy yourself a Pixel 8a and a pair of Pixel Buds Pro for the same price.

My biggest issue with the 8a is the $499 price. Pixel A series phones are known for their value and I just feel like if it had been $399 it would’ve been an excellent phone. Maybe $449 since Google often puts their phones on sale. I definitely like the 8a for the plastic matte back, flat camera bar and that sharp aloe color. I’m a huge Pixel fan but Google has to stop this trend of increasing the A series prices each year because it diminishes the value of them being budget phones.

$500 is not a budget phone but $2-250 seems budget😅😅

I don't think people are wrong, i think its just too expensive.

Great Video dude, i'm from canada myself and got a pixel 8a .. still waiting on it, should get it by Sunday, Yeah you are right about how it is quite pricey for the pixel 8...its why i just got the pixeal 8a .... i owned the 4a and 6a in the past and love it .. i gave the 4a to m brother and the 6a to my mother and they both still use it.... I currently have a Iphone 14 and its a lovely device, but I use Linux a lot and what sucks about iphones is that it work mainly for macOS or Windows and on Linux you cant really sync music on it or anything I know of... I prefer a Pixel device aka android they can b e mount great on linux and also I just like it better.

In the States, you can pick up an 8a for USD $200 if you stay on Google Fi for 120 days. I've been on Fi for 4 years now. The service is very good, and the coverage is great since Fi uses the T-Mobile network. It would be silly not to pick one up for $200.

I just got one this past week. Got people hating. But no it's not a flagship it's a really good phone! It's all about what you want out of a phone. To me. Pixel 8a is that other wanna be iPhone look and design. Software and hardware and battery is fire 🔥

You took an L when you almost took off that fleece then put it back on 😎

I’m liking the 8a more than my iPhone 11, it’s smaller, newer, n they have it in blue lol, if I see it on sale I may pick it up 😊

I got the PIxel 8a a week ago, I love it. Here in Serbia, the price difference between 8 and 8a was a mere 50 euros. Still, I opted for this budget phone on purpose. I wanted to see how it performs.

When it comes to people complaining, I think that people forget that premium phones are twice the price of Pixel 8a. When it comes to other competitors, nobody can match this much value in my experience, as the software definitely adds a massive value to it. I'll probably upgrade to the Pixel 10 pro in a couple of years, until then, I'll keep testing this phone.

When you mention pricing in different markets, here, the Samsung Galaxy a55 is the same price as Pixel 8a. As someone who was using a54 from last year, which also cost the same amount of money, the Pixel experience is so much better right out of the box.

The biggest benefit of owning a Pixel 8a at this price point is having an amazing camera (no other phone around $500 compares to it) + 7 years of support is a huge value, as this is going to be one of the devices that receive new Android versions regularly. On SoC side, you basically get the same experience from the premium lineup.

Great review by the way, you now have one more subscriber :)

I got the Pixel 8a in Aloe and it's an amazing phone.

In the UK the pixel 8 has been as low as 500 pound and the pixel 8a was released at 500 pound, however the contract deals are really good for the pixel 8a, for instance I got my pixel 8a for free with a twenty pound per month contract for 24 months with 100gb of data and unlimited minutes and texts, the sim only contract is 10 a month so the extra 10 a month works out at 240 for the pixel 8a, which is less than half retail and 240 is budget phone money.Then again you can buy a good condition used Samsung galaxy s22 ultra for 270 or a brand new Samsung A55 with Samsung buds FE for 260.It’s only iPhones that cost ridiculous amounts of money here in the UK.

I like your videos especially your honesty in the ' A Day in the life with x smartphone'.
But to my taste the music in this vid is too load. It's come to a point where I have to decide to focus on the background music or your speaking.
Nonetheless keep it up. Gonna head to your 'A Day in the life with the S24' now

With Mint Mobile you can get an 8a and 12 months of service for less than $500 on their deals section! Depends on your area’s coverage but that’s a pretty decent deal!
