Google launches £499 Pixel 8a: Budget smartphone is packed with AI tools - and ... trends now
The moment that Google fans have been waiting for has finally arrived.
The tech giant has launched the Pixel 8a, which it describes as 'The Google AI phone at an unbeatable value.'
Pixel 8a has a host of impressive AI features, including Best Take and Audio Magic Eraser - tools previously seen in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
However, the Pixel 8a is much more affordable than these flagship devices, with prices starting at just £499.
To put that into perspective, it's £300 cheaper than the most basic iPhone 15!

The device features rounded edges, a matte back and a polished aluminium frame, which Google says feels 'even better in your hands' than its predecessors.
Its display is also 40 per cent brighter than the Pixel 7a's, while a faster refresh rate of 120Hz makes scrolling smoother.
Buyers can opt for four colours, including two neutral options, Obsidian or Porcelain.
If you're feeling more jazzy, you can opt for two new brighter colours - a pale green called Aloe, or a blue called Bay.
