Google Pixel 8a Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Google Pixel 8a Overview
Google Pixel 8a - younger, but no less impressive
Google definitely knows how to make smartphones, but most of its products are aimed at the higher price segment. However, the corporation's budget and experience, the presence of hundreds of first-class specialists, allowed the developer to transfer literally all the flagship features to a phone in the mid-price category. That is why the hero of today's review deserves close attention.
The appearance of the new product is far from ideal, but still beautiful. Perhaps, only the wide display frames can be criticized, but the metal frame, the glass back panel with its variety of colors, the small thickness of the case with full moisture protection according to IP67 standards, and the proprietary dual camera unit allow us to call the exterior of the device extremely attractive. The 6.1-inch AMOLED panel is good in terms of brightness (more than 1500 nits), and in image clarity at FullHD+ resolution, and in its smoothness (refresh rate of 120Hz), and in color rendition. The fingerprint scanner built into it is also not disappointing, and there is also an effective oleophobic layer. But the manufacturer decided not to fight the PWM effect again, so people susceptible to it should take a closer look at other devices.
Everything is in order with the technical characteristics. The Tensor G3 CPU with 8GB of RAM and the Immortalis-G715s MC10 video accelerator copes well not only with the Android 14 OS, but with all existing games on the operating system. Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Wreckfest - the list of applications running at maximum graphics presets can be continued for a very long time. Throttling is observed, but it is far from critical. The energy efficiency of the chipset does not disappoint, so you will have to charge the 4500 mAh battery once every day and a half. Wired charging with a power of 27W is complemented by a wireless analogue. There is no support for MicroSD cards, so it is recommended to choose a version with 256GB of ROM rather than 128GB.
The photographic capabilities of the main 64-megapixel (main sensor from Sony with hybrid stabilization) and 13-megapixel (wide-angle lens) photo modules are excellent. The device is better than most opponents at creating evening shots, depriving the frames of noise and giving them an abundance of small details without errors in color reproduction. The stereo speakers also do not disappoint; the sound is loud, rich, and spacious. Of course, there are NFC contactless payments, modem operation in 5G networks, and eSim. As a result, we have a magnificent gadget that will definitely find its fan.
