The Pixel 8a is actually our pick . we gave In our review in May. It has great hardware for a phone in this price range, including great cameras, a 6.1-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and excellent battery life (it lasted 20 and a half hours in our video test).
The Google Pixel 8a has dropped to its lowest price yet, ahead of the Prime Day October release.
Additionally, the Pixel 8a runs on the Tensor G3, the same chipset found in the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro. Hence, it can run the same AI features as the flagship phones, among others and other camera tricks, web article summaries and narration via Google Assistant, wallpaper creation and faster Face unlock.
