The Google Pixel 8a boasts a brand-new style that will remind many people of Google’s high-end smartphone models. Although it still has a plastic back, the smooth, frosted surface gives it a more upscale appearance.
Additionally, the phone has a strong IP67 classification for water and dust protection. Previously exclusive to the premium Pixels, the Tensor G3 gives the A series access to a plethora of new AI features. Although it still lacks strength in performance, it provides respectable performance for daily app use.
Nevertheless, the camera performs admirably, and the same is true of the rear camera’s low-light capabilities, which are effective with both primary and ultrawide cameras.
