Editorial report
Google Pixel 8a 8 GB / 128 GB / Japan technical sheet
The Google Pixel 8a suits anyone looking for a compact phone with a standout display, broad connectivity and a high-resolution main camera. Its trade-offs are the battery: capacity is among the lowest of its time, and wired charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 256 GB.
The 6.1-inch OLED display delivers 430 ppi and 2000-nit peak brightness, both better than most phones launched around the same time. At 188 g, it is lighter than most, though its 81.6% screen-to-body ratio is worse than most. The Tensor G3 records an AnTuTu score of 1,193,520, better than most phones of its time.
The 64 MP main camera has higher resolution than most phones of its time, with optical image stabilization and 4K recording at 60 fps. Connectivity ranks among the best of its time, with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and dual SIM using nano-SIM and eSIM. The 4,492 mAh battery and 18 W wired charging are weaknesses, but 7.5 W wireless charging is better than most. Android 14 and seven years of updates add to its appeal. With a NeoScore of 7.1, the Pixel 8a is a compelling fit for people who prioritize a compact size, a strong display and connectivity.
