The Google Pixel 8 has most of the core features of the Pixel 8 Pro, including AI tricks, a 50MP main camera, a Tensor G3 chipset, and a 120Hz screen. But it lacks a telephoto camera, and its screen and battery also aren't quite a match for Google's top phone.
For
- New Tensor chip
- Refreshed design
- AI camera tricks
Against
- Design changes are minor
- Minimal camera upgrades
- No temperature sensor

The 7a is like a gas-guzzling roadster. It's faster than it should be, looks great in photos, and needs to be refueled often along the way. Also, the launch price is too high and too close to the rest of the Pixel 7 range.
For
- Almost as fast as the Pixel 7 Pro
- Great photo capabilities and editing tools
- Slick Android interface is a pleasure
Against
- Battery won't last all day
- Only three years of OS update support
- Too expensive given the compromises
