The Pixel 8A’s screen should also be brighter than the Pixel 7A’s, since it can reach up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness.

The camera, however, is very similar to the Pixel 7A’s. There’s a 64-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera.

Google is also bringing certain AI features to the A-series for the first time with the Pixel 8A, such as Best Take and Audio Magic Eraser. Best Take combines data from multiple group photos so that you can choose a different facial expression. Audio Magic Eraser subdues unwanted sounds in video recordings.

Overall, the Pixel 8A seems like a solid option for Pixel fans looking to spend no more than $500 on a new phone. But we’ll know more once we’ve had a chance to test it.
