Pixel 8a

Is there a 256GB model?

If so, it's on my short list (along with the oneplus 12R) when the tab is done on my current S20 FE 5G (late summer).

@sswilson yes but only in black! I just learned that this morning.
The OP12 and 12R were on my list too but even my old eyes can see the difference in camera results from them to a pixel or iphone.

Camera isn't all that important to me in a phone. Storage, brightness, and general performance are my main drivers.

Price is also a fairly significant driver as well.... 256GB 8a would be $610 (through bb with $150 in cart rebate) while a 256GB 12R would be $500 (after "trade in any device" discount).

edit: And apparently another $24 off on the oneplus after signing up for "RedCoins" as well as 2.5% Rakuten. (I'm slowly working myself towards grabbing one today.... :) ).

Yeah the oneplus trade in offer is hard to beat when you have something to offer them, I toyed with the idea too.
 
I think the "full" Pixel 8 was on sale for $699 just last month, I'm guessing you can probably get it free on some plans too. Doesn't feel like there's a big difference between them - a slightly better camera stack and slightly slimmer bezels due to the slightly larger screen. Physically though the 8 is smaller than the 8a.

And while I haven't seen any reports of the Chinese government working with OnePlus, it's hard to know these days. For a device that typically goes everywhere with you and contains a lot of personal data, some caution is always advisable.

Marqes Brownlee makes a few good points about the 8a compared to the 8. I don't like to promote him but it's worth a watch if anyone's considering the 8a.

I’ve liked quite a few of his videos. Usually find him knowledgeable and informative. Are there issues with him I don’t know about?
