Google Pixel 8a: I Was 100% Right!

I was right about the Google Pixel 8a, and Google dropping the Pixel 8 Price back to $549, making the Pixel 8a obsolete until they drop the price and make it a $399 phone.

Just buy the phone you want to now. For 99% of buyers the experience will be pretty much identical. When you buy your next phone it won't matter that you paid 50 dollars more or less. Just use the phone and don't sweat the small, almost meaningless differences. Just get your phone and enjoy it. We lose sleep over little things.

It’ll get down to $399.99 in another month or so.

Always 100% honest, never a fanboy to anyone other than the buying public 👍🏼

That chip will surprise the hell out of me if it last 7 years.

Got the 8A for $399. No regrets. Didn't make sense for me to spend $500+ for the Pixel 8 when the 9 is around the corner.

Maybe pixel is doing what apples does back wards, target the minority who don’t want the best.

Truth be known, I don’t think you needed to be Nostradamus to see this one coming.

The thing that is the most important for me living in rural Arizona is the phone antenna. So far the best is Samsung phones. I bought a Pixel 8 Pro and was really disappointed in the signal strength. Like the iPhone 13 I have not nearly as good as the Samsung Note 20 I have now. Can you do a comparison between phone brands just based on signal acquisition.

On the Google store they have a deal for the pixel 8 at $549 + pixel 8a at half price ($249.50) if you buy them together. Seems like a good deal to me.

That’s why I tell people never buy an android at launch or pay full price. 6 months later they’ll be on sale for 50% off launch price or more. Or just buy an iPhone. The trade in and resale value is much higher.

Woot has the 7pro in 512gb for 469. Still perfectly relevant.

I'll probably wait till this time next year to get the 8-Pro at about $500, because my 6A is still serviceable.

The pixel a series should release at the same time as the regular line up

Maybe in the US those are the prices but if you go to the Google Store in Canada the pixel 8 is still over 900

I personally bought the Google pixel 7 from micro center because I missed out on the 549 deal on the Google pixel 8. Then the deal came back as of 2 days ago. I returned my Google pixel 7 back to micro center and got the Google pixel 8 and I could not be more happier. I feel like that the Google pixel 8 is a good spot if you want. AI and Gemini if you don't want Gemini in AI, I feel like the Google pixel 7 is a better shot. It's saving 100

Had pixel 8 and 8 pro but the cellular connectivity and WiFi connectivity issues I traded them in for Samsung

Just when you think Google couldn't be any dumber...

[JohnCauldwell]

The strange ways of Google. Tensor chips have been fine for tasks.

[TheBNCoutinho]

I would like them to keep making A series phones.
In Europe we can get good deals on those..
They should cut more corners on the Pixel 9a like no wireless charging, keep the not so great borders on the screen, keep the google pixel 7a 📸, so you can give a good price drop (400€/450€).

The fact that they put the 8 on sale for 550 and didn't put the 8a on sale doesn't make sense. I remember last year they were both on sale last year and the 7a was about 5 dollars cheaper than the 7 lol
