Where it sits in this database
CompareForge tracks 47 phones. The median below is the middle value of those records — our own database, not a market survey — so it shows how Google Pixel 8a sits against the phones we actually publish, not against everything on sale.
| Measure | Google Pixel 8a | Median of our 47 phones | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 4,492 mAh | 5,000 mAh | 508 mAh below the median |
| Weight | 188 g | 200 g | 12 g below the median |
| Starting price | $499 | $799 | $300 below the median |
| Screen size | 6.1 in | 6.7 in | 0.6 in below the median |
A figure above the median is not better by definition — a heavier phone may carry a larger battery — but it tells you where this model sits among the records on this site before you read the specification table.
