The face recognition is unreliable, especially in low light, a stark contrast to their old phone.

The frame of the 8a is made from aluminum, and the back is still plastic.

Price

Overall, i think this is an excellent mobile phone, especially for its price of £499 (at the time of review).

Having purchased it during the prime offers we got a great deal on it.

Packaging/appearance

The pixel 8a arrives in its neat box, along with a usb c to usb c cable / usb c male to usb female adapter / sim pin

In the box:‎you will receive a sim tray ejector, usb cable, quick switch adaptor, and a user manual.

Once my protective case for the pixel 8a arrived, i took the phone with me on an outing to test out the various photo and video modes.

I'm not a brand loyalist, and i've had (in order) htc, samsung, sony, nokia and xiaomi android phones.

However, compared to the 8, this is a significant difference.
