Google Pixel 8a First Look: A Budget Phone With Everything You Need

Sadly, the Pixel 8a I pawed at did not have the latest software configurations, including Circle to Search, which I hoped to show off in a well-timed photo. Everything else was there: Android 14, the application drawer, and all the default apps.

The Pixel 8a also carries the same promises as the rest of the Google phone lineup: seven years of software, security, and feature drop updates.
