Is The Pixel 8a Worth it?

The Pixel 8a is quite similar to the Pixel 8 in more ways than one. Yes, you do get a polycarbonate back (Pixel 8 is glass), but the sides are aluminium. The front features slightly thicker, asymmetrical bezels with a prominent chin. And the camera setup is also slightly inferior compared to the Pixel 8’s 50MP main shooter. Here, you get a 64MP shooter, but it uses a smaller sensor than the Pixel 8.

That being said, the processor is the Tensor G3, the same as the Pixel 8 series. Also, you do get a 6.1-inch screen, making the device quite compact. With a 4,404mAh battery, the Pixel 8a offers a reliable performance. We have reviewed the Pixel 8 and found it to be a mostly smooth experience. You can check out our full review by clicking here.
