What's more, and perhaps most importantly, the Pixel 8a is the top AI bargain on our newly minted best AI phones list – so it's absolutely worth picking up if you're keen to try AI features without breaking the bank.

There's a reason why the Google Pixel 8a appears in so many of our buying guides: it's a great all-rounder for a now-even-more-affordable price.

Its rear cameras rival those of the more expensive Google Pixel 8 Pro, its 6.1-inch OLED display is just as vibrant as the Google Pixel 8's display, and its curvaceous design is as modern-looking as it is comfortable to hold.

Best of all, though, is the Pixel 8a's AI capabilities, which match those of Google's latest and greatest flagships. As noted in our Google Pixel 8a review, "you won't find so much of the future in any other phone that’s this affordable," and it'll continue to be supported for at least another six years, too. What's not to like?
