The economical Pixel stops being so and becomes the best camera in this price range
Although the Pixel ‘a’ series has stood out for a more affordable price than Google’s flagships, this time it ups the ante by increasing the sales price, which we will talk about later. In essence, this Pixel 8a maintains the lines seen in the Pixel 8with very rounded corners and a front dominated by the screen.
The rear retains one of the hallmarks of the latest generations of Google mobile phones: a rectangular camera module. Cameras, which by the way have undergone a rather timid evolution. Returning to the front, the panel stands out Actua 6.1-inch displaybeing one of the most compact mid-range today.
The “brain” selected by Google is none other than the Tensor G3, which we know well from its older brothers. He lines it up next to 8 GB of RAMLPDDR5X technology and 128 or 256 GB storage options.
In relation to the photography section, the Pixel 8a includes two cameras that promise to be the best in this price range. Both sensors maintain resolution: 64 megapixels for the main camera and 13 megapixels for the ultra wide angle.
The autonomy will be given by a 4,492 mAh battery, which on paper, looks pretty good considering the small diagonals of its screen.

Taking stock, we can expect it to remain up to date until Android 21, if it ever exists. Google knows that it can stand out in software support and extends the update period as it did with the Pixel 8.
