The interface is straightforward and clean, it offers a high level of dust and water resistance, and it'll receive regular software updates for the next seven years. That'll give you a lot of peace of mind recommending it to friends and family.
The cameras aren't quite as good as what you'd get on the regular Pixel 8 or a newer Pixel 9, but they're reliable and can even tackle some tricky scenarios, like when the northern lights sneak up on you in your own backyard. The 8A also has Qi wireless charging and a smooth-scrolling 120Hz screen - two features that you'll be hard-pressed to find in another phone under $400.
