The Google Pixel 8 Pro features a matte body finish that makes it easy to hold, and the device feels quite compact. It has a 6.7-inch OLED display that remains bright even under glaring sunlight. The display offers a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth animations and an impressive user experience. Powered by the Tensor G3 SoC, the phone boasts significant AI capabilities and handles everyday tasks efficiently. However, its gaming performance may not meet expectations, as the phone tends to heat up during extended gameplay sessions. The Pixel 8 Pro has a 50MP primary camera and a 48MP ultra-wide camera. While the primary camera shows minimal improvements over the Pixel 7 Pro, the tones are cooler. The phone excels in low-light photography, which is a notable advantage. It has a 5050mAh battery and supports 30W charging, although the charger is not included in the box. Running on Android 14, the 8 Pro offers a pure Android experience. Therefore, if you are looking for a smartphone with excellent camera capabilities, a stock Android experience, and advanced AI features, the Pixel 8 Pro is a strong contender.

The Pixel 9a comes in ₹3,000 cheaper than the Pixel 8a, but the savings bring a mix of upgrades and trade-offs. You get a faster Tensor G4 chip, though the phone still heats up during extended camera use. The main camera now has fewer megapixels, but better aperture helps capture bright, detailed shots—even foggy ones. Battery life is solid, lasting a full day with ease. The display gets slightly bigger, but thick bezels remain. On the plus side, the panel quality and stereo speakers are great for media. The real win here is the software—clean, smooth, and packed with helpful AI tools found on pricier Pixel models. If you value a polished everyday experience over raw power, the Pixel 9a fits the bill. Otherwise, consider the OnePlus 13R, Xiaomi 14 CIVI, or Realme GT 6 for more performance.
