Google Pixel 8a Review: A Midrange Marvel with Premium Features
Google has made a name for itself in the smartphone world with its Pixel range, offering an intersection of innovative technology, clean software, and stellar cameras. The recently launched Google Pixel 8a is no exception. Targeted at users who want cutting-edge features without breaking the bank, the Pixel 8a balances affordability and performance while delivering Google’s renowned software-first experience.
Is the Google Pixel 8a the midrange phone to beat in 2024? Let’s dig into its design, performance, camera capabilities, and more to find out if it’s the right device for you.
Design and Build Quality
The aesthetics of the Pixel 8a continue the design language we’ve come to associate with Google’s devices. The phone boasts an all-new sleek matte finish encased in a recycled polycarbonate shell, ensuring durability while maintaining its lightweight nature. At just 193 grams, the device feels light in hand but sturdy enough to weather everyday usage.
The camera bar remains a distinctive design feature, giving the Pixel 8a a recognizable silhouette. It houses a dual-camera system seamlessly integrated into the back panel. The phone also comes in three stylish colors—Charcoal, Snow, and Sea Glass—so there’s an option to match every personality.
On the front, the slim bezels frame a 6.1-inch screen, giving it a balanced look. The IP67 water and dust resistance rating ensures you’re protected from accidental spills and short encounters with the elements, which are always a plus for durability-conscious consumers.
Bottom Line: The Pixel 8a’s design is modern yet minimal, delivering functionality and style in equal measures.
Display and Performance
The 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display offers sharp details, vibrant colors, and deep blacks—all hallmark traits of OLED technology. The 90Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and an excellent viewing experience, particularly when streaming or gaming. Though it’s not the 120Hz standard found on premium flagships, the compromise makes sense for its price point.
Under the hood, the Pixel 8a is powered by the Google Tensor G3 (4 nm) chipset, ensuring top-tier processing power for all your multitasking, gaming, and media consumption needs. Coupled with 8GB RAM, even demanding apps and games run without noticeable stutters.
The phone is available in two storage configurations—128GB and 256GB, which should meet the needs of most users. However, the lack of expandable storage might be a drawback for those who prioritize having more offline file storage.
Bottom Line: The Pixel 8a delivers excellent display quality and performance that easily handle daily tasks and power-user needs without significant compromise.
Camera Capabilities
When it comes to cameras, Google excels, and the Pixel 8a further cements its reputation. The phone features a dual-camera system, including a 64MP primary lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The result? Photos that are vibrant, detailed, and with a dynamic range that’s hard to find in competitors at this price range.
Low-light photography, an area where many midrange devices falter, is spectacular on the Pixel 8a thanks to Google’s AI-driven Night Sight mode. Whether you’re capturing a dimly lit café scene or a moonlit landscape, the phone retains impressive detail and minimal noise.
For video recording, the phone supports 4K at 30/60fps from both the front and rear cameras, ensuring crisp, steady footage even when you’re on the move.
Selfies are equally impressive, with a 13MP front-facing camera that captures natural tones and delivers excellent results for those Instagram-worthy moments.
Bottom Line: The Pixel 8a’s cameras remain top-tier in its segment, making it an excellent choice for photography enthusiasts.
Battery Life and Charging
The Pixel 8a comes equipped with a 4492mAh battery, which provides solid endurance. On a full charge, the phone easily lasts a day with moderate use, including browsing, streaming, and light gaming. For more intense usage, you might find yourself reaching for a charger in the evening.
Thankfully, the phone supports 30W fast charging, allowing you to juice up quickly when you’re running low. However, there’s no wireless charging, a feature you might miss if you’re accustomed to premium devices.
Bottom Line: The Pixel 8a offers reliable battery life with fast charging, though wireless charging could have been a welcome addition.
Software and User Experience
Running on Android 14, the Pixel 8a provides the quintessential stock Android experience Google is known for. The interface is clean, fast, and free of bloatware, which is a refreshing change compared to heavily-skinned alternatives in the market.
Being a Google device, you also get exclusive AI features, such as on-device Google Assistant functions and the Pixel Call Screen feature, making everyday tasks intuitive and seamless. Plus, Google’s promise of 5 years of security updates ensures your phone stays secure and up to date for the foreseeable future.
Bottom Line: The Pixel 8a nails the software experience, combining simplicity with smart AI features to enhance functionality.
Price and Value Proposition
The Google Pixel 8a is priced at BDT 55,000 in Bangladesh, making it a strong contender in the midrange market. With its two variants, 128GB/8GB and 256GB/8GB, buyers have storage options to suit their needs.
When compared to other devices in its price range, like Samsung’s A-series or Xiaomi’s flagship killers, the Pixel 8a stands out with its camera prowess, clean software, and reliable user experience. Its price-to-performance ratio makes it an attractive option for users looking to strike a balance between cost and premium features.
Bottom Line: With its robust feature set, the Pixel 8a is worth every penny for users prioritizing great cameras, clean software, and long-term reliability.
The Final Verdict
The Google Pixel 8a successfully carves out its niche in the competitive midrange smartphone market. With excellent cameras, a smooth display, and Google’s signature Android experience, it’s sure to win over both new buyers and loyal Pixel fans. While minor drawbacks like the lack of wireless charging can be overlooked, the overall value it delivers makes it a standout choice in its category.
