You can't cast streaming content to the device without the [charging] dock, which is one major negative... The dock brings some nifty stuff to the table, like a durable stand, fantastic speakers and, of course, charging.
The battery life is superb, lasting well over 21 hours per charge at 50 percent brightness... The tablet excels as a smart display, particularly if you've fully bought into the Google smart home ecosystem.
The 2,560 x 1,600 LCD panel isn't as vibrant as an OLED panel, but it gets the job done... All of the specs of this device are 'just fine' but, at $400, that's probably to be expected.
The Pixel 8a is a budget-friendly way to get involved with Google's robust suite of AI tools, like Gemini, Best Take and Audio Magic Eraser.
