Personally I'm waiting for the Pixel 9 to come out so I can pick of the Pixel 8 for considerably cheaper. My 4a still works well but the battery is definitely not what it once was.
-
I'm still rocking pixel 5 😂😅
-
I'm waiting for Pixel 10 for a better chipset and camera. Currently using Pixel 3a. I'm a big fan of A series of Pixel and always keep A series pixel phones.
-
Like you said, Pixel 8 is currently discounted to $550. Pixel 8a is rumored to be between $500-550. I'm not understanding Google's value proposition here.
-
Using pixel 7a ❤❤❤ And i love it #teampixel
-
Daniel could you please make a versus video of the Pixel 7a and the 8a?
-
It's good that the phone will be smaller
-
Definitely interested in the 8A. Currently rocking the 7A. You guys should do a follow up video on the 7A a year on and see how it stacks up in the current gen market.
-
I was going to wait for the 8a, looking to upgrade from my 6a, then noticed Amazon was doing a fire sale for the P7P, £450 new, I pulled the trigger as it was too good a deal to miss.
-
How come the pixel 5 had nice even bezels, and then all the newer models haven't?
-
Think ill wait until the end of the pixel 8 shelf life snd hopefully get the 8 pro at a decent price, i like my 6a just prefer a bigger screen, so ill hold fire until the end of the summer
-
Im a massive google fan currently using the pixel 8! One thing ill never be doing again is buying on launch day! I think a smaller pro 9 will be interesting tho but it all depends on the price!
-
I cant wait i want it now
-
Good device but the price isn't really good, there's not enough gap between the 8 and 8a,even now the 8 can be found at 550$ too. My Pixel 6a is still running good, maybe in some time when the 8a price drops it's gonna be a better deal.
-
Pixel 6a users raise hand ✋🏻😂
-
I'm looking at picking up the Pixel 8, and I hope that the release of the 8a will see the 8 drop in price.
-
The a series is always the best🔥🔥🔥
-
my pixel 4 is still going great, until they add the swipy thingy (radio waves or whatever that i can use to skip songs by just waving my hand above it) i'm not swapping! Also it's orange, i'm not downgrading from that!
-
when google gonna release a compact phone again like the 4a ,5 i think 140mm is the best if you tried 130mm on iphone mini you gonna know how huge those 160mm 170mm phones
-
I stopped using my pixel 1 half a year ago. It was doing fine, but the battery had given up completely by then.
