Google Pixel 8a review: AI for the rest of us

The Google Pixel 8a is the affordable flagship killer Google has always wanted to make. While Apple might have coined the term "AI for the rest of us" at 2024's WWDC conference, it's Google who is actually delivering all of its big AI features in a phone that's affordable for most people while Apple reserves it only for its most expensive phone.

Google isn't just stopping with the democratization of AI features, though. This phone sports some seriously impressive hardware improvements over last year's Google Pixel 7a, including more rounded corners and a matte texture on the back, which makes this the most comfortable phone for one-handed use. It's absolutely the most comfortable phone I've held in a long time!
