Google’s Pixel 8a is the most value-packed Android smartphone of the year and a worthy successor to the impressive Pixel 7a. This new model features a refreshed design, a more powerful chip and camera, and an improved OLED screen with a higher refresh rate, all for under $500.
Like Google’s latest high-end Pixel phones, the 8a guarantees timely Android updates for seven years after purchase. It comes in various colors: aloe (pictured here), bay, obsidian, and porcelain.
