Google Pixel 8a: Best midrange smartphone not in Malaysia

has appeared with a new device too: the Google Pixel 8a. It’s their latest entry in the Pixel A series that aims to deliver the best parts of their flagship Pixel smartphones at a more affordable price point.

The biggest upgrade for this year’s Pixel 8a is that is now has a noticeably better display. It still has a compact 6.1-inch Actua display pushing a FHD+ resolution with a 430ppi pixel density, but now gets an up to 120Hz refresh rate, a nice bump over the 90Hz refresh rate on its predecessor. The screen is also capable of a peak brightness of up to 2,000nits, with support for HDR, always-on display and full 24-bit colour depth.

Under the hood, the Pixel 8a is powered by the Google Tensor G3, the same system-on-chip in the regular Pixel 8 and the flagship Pixel 8 Pro. It packs 8GB of RAM with up to 256GB of storage with Android 14 out of the box, and impressively gets the same seven years of major Android upgrades and security patches as its higher end stable mates.

In the camera department, you’ll find what is mostly the same camera hardware as before, with a main 64MP, f/1.89 camera at the back flanked by a 13MP, f/2.2 ultrawide shooter; a 13MP, f/2.2 selfie shooter meanwhile sits in front. Other features of note include stereo speakers, an IP67 dust and water resistance rating, an in-display fingerprint sensor as well as support for WiFI 6E, 5G, Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC wireless connectivity.

All of that though is for nought considering that, yet again, the Pixel 8a isn’t available for sale in Malaysia. Just like the Pixels of yesteryear, Google isn’t bringing the Pixel 8a to Malaysia in an official capacity, meaning you’ll have to rely on grey market importers or head over to our beloved neighbour Singapore to get your hands on what is perhaps one of the best premium midrange smartphones out there.
