Purchasing my Google Pixel 8a is a big switch after years using an iPhone. I've used BackMarket several times before and have always been super happy and I wasn't disappointed this time either. Delivery was super quick with brilliant auto-updates along the way. The quality of my phone is, well, like brand new. I wont be returning to an iPhone anytime soon and I love the quality and new-ness of my Google Pixel 8a that BackMarket have provided ... THANK YOU!

Arrived & works fine. Only one minor issue, I'm English & the phone arrived set in an Oriental language that I had to scan using my wife's phone with Google translate to work out that it was Japanese & how to set it to English. Thus 4 out of 5 stars. You really should set it to the language of the user or by default to English, which is probably more widely spoken.

It arrived promptly, in excellent condition and well wrapped. That was all fine. The issue was that I received a Japanese phone. When I first switched it on, I got a Japanese welcome. Thankfully, having been studying Japanese this year, I was able to read it as 'Hello'. I didn't twig at first, assuming the previous owner was Japanese living in the UK. It was during the set up that, an option of which country and only Japan came up! As I had bought the phone for my elderly father, who lives in a different area to me and was visiting for just 2 days, and I needed him to take a working phone, I did not have time to return it and buy another one. I had to go along with it, but it was not mentioned / clear that the phone was Japanese. I would not have bought it had I known it was a Japanese phone.

It's in good condition, battery seems to have plenty of life, quick responses, so nearly all good, there's just one thing that's annoying - it's not possible to turn off the shutter sound in Photos, the option is greyed out and says "cannot be turned off for your SIM or region". Tried a different SIM but same thing, maybe phone came from Japan where it's apparently compulsory to have camera sounds on? I've always turned off camera shutter sounds on previous phones so this is irritating.

Considering I've always had a phone on contract, then when my last one was paid for I wasn't gonna get another one, until my baby grandson dropped it 😬......lots of research later, and I went with you guys, and the pixel 8a......best decision I made, for a nearly 60yr old nana who's really not tech savvy at all. Setting up this one was so easy, I'm so happy with it, and best of all it's recycled and no contract! Would definitely recommend you guys, and will be coming back to you in the future.

The Google Pixel 8a brings together Google’s signature AI-powered features and a compact design. Launched in May 2024, it stands as Google’s mid-range offering, just a generation behind the Pixel 8, but still ticking most boxes for everyday users in 2025. You get a vibrant OLED display, thoughtful camera software, and a smooth Android experience—no fuss, no bloat.

Key features:

Release Date: May 2024
Display: 6.1-inch Actua OLED, FHD+ (2400 x 1080 px), 120Hz refresh rate
Processor: Google Tensor G3
Camera: Dual rear system (64MP wide + 13MP ultra-wide), 13MP front camera
Operating System: Ships with Android 14
Build: Recycled aluminium frame, Gorilla Glass 3 front, plastic back
Connectivity: 5G support, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3

Who is this for?

The Google Pixel 8a is a good fit for fans of straightforward Android devices who want reliable cameras, guaranteed software updates, and solid build quality without all the extra fluff. It’s an ideal pick for students, everyday commuters, and anyone who wants Google’s smart features without jumping to flagship prices. Compared to the Pixel 8, it offers similar AI smarts and camera processing, though with less premium build materials and a single memory option shared across variants.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Scenic OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate.	Plastic back feels less premium than glass or metal.
Pixel AI features like Magic Editor and Call Screen.	No telephoto lens for zoomed-in photography.
Timely Android updates and security patches.	Mono speaker set-up can sound a bit flat.
