The brand has presented the Google Pixel 8a without fanfare, a somewhat common strategy in the famous American company. However, we are looking at a device that still makes sense today, and even though it is a “Premium mid-range” the reality is that it is one step above the competition.
From inheriting incredibly competent hardware, to taking on 7 years of major Android updates, You could say that we are facing a true monster within its segment. Also, even though we know practically all the details of this device, don’t miss what’s coming up in the next part of this article.
Google Pixel 8a, a small titan that arrives to strengthen the catalog
Google knows very well what it does, and this eighth generation of “mid-range” compared to the Pixel 7a, we have some substantial improvements. First of all, we have the same design as the Pixel 8, where we no longer see square lines but rather rounded throughout the body. Likewise, in terms of the photographic configuration, a strip is evident that covers the sensors that characterize Pixel phones so much.
The firm takes a step forward by incorporating 120Hz frequency, something that was already necessary and fair in this new edition of the “economical” Pixel. On the other hand, the screen size is 6.1 inches with technology OLED and resolution 1,080 x 2,400 pixels. In addition to this, the peak brightness is 1,400 nits; Honestly, we would have loved to see 1,700 or 2,000 nits like the Pixel 8. This Google Pixel 8a comes with the Google Tensor G3 and Titan M2 chip, as found in the firm’s Premium editions.
For its part, we will be able to find configurations of 8GB LPDDR5X RAMwith 128 and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. Regarding the photographic configuration, we do not see major alterations, at least in the main sensor, since it continues to maintain the same 64 megapixels12 megapixel Ultra Wide Angle and a 13 megapixel selfie.
Finally, we close this cycle with a battery of 4,492mAh and the typical 18W fast charging. We believe that in this sense Google could have worked a little more, not to mention that we will not see a charger in the box either. This is something to consider if you are a demanding user, but despite this drawback, at least the Google Pixel 8a has wireless charging.
