The Google Pixel 8a packs just as much AI punch as the standard Pixel 8


It has nearly the same features as the flagship, like generative AI and the Tensor G3 chipset, for way less money.

(Image credit: Google)For its display, the Pixel 8a keeps the 6.1-inch FullHD+ OLED screen but now features a 120Hz refresh rate, offering smoother animations that help it stack up against the leading budget Android phones from Samsung, OnePlus, and others. Google has also confirmed that the new mid-range phone will have Gemini, making the Pixel 8a the first in its price range to have the built-in AI assistant. You'll also get other Pixel-exclusive Android features like Circle to Search(which is also on Samsung's recent flagship phones), Pixel Call Assist, and Audio Emojis all bundled with the handset.
