Rated 4 out of 5 stars.
Looking for a powerful, smart Android phone that won't break the bank?
Meet the Google Pixel 8a.
This unlocked smartphone is packed with Google's latest AI smarts.
The camera is insane – features like Best Take can fix group photos where someone blinked, and Magic Editor lets you edit photos in crazy ways (like moving objects or changing the sky).
There's also Audio Magic Eraser to clean up noisy videos.
It's powered by the Google Tensor G3 chip and has the Titan M2 security chip to keep everything safe.
Battery life is a huge plus – the Adaptive Battery typically lasts over 24 hours, and you can stretch it to 3 days with Extreme Battery Saver mode.
It charges wirelessly too.
It feels great in the hand with a smooth, matte finish (this one's in the lovely 'Bay' color), and it's made with recycled materials.
You get 128GB of storage.
All your Google stuff works seamlessly together, and features like Circle to Search (just circle anything on screen to look it up) are super handy.
For a top-notch camera, all-day battery, and smart AI features in a more affordable Pixel package, the 8a is a fantastic choice.
