After a dizzying pace of announcements during Google I/O 2024, there’s no arguing at this point that Google’s way ahead of its competition when it comes to the AI wars happening with today’s best phones. The Google Pixel 8a is proof of this, and rightfully so, it tops our best cheap phones list.

Obviously, it inherits some of the AI features I first got acquainted with on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro — but it’s priced much less, giving it broader appeal for those who don’t want to spend a fortune on a phone.
