What improvements do you like? Maybe there’s something I’m overlooking. I also agree on size, i really didn’t want anything larger than the 4a and the 8 was the closest i could find.

The metal frame makes the phone feel much more solid. The 120 Hz screen is an incredible improvement, 60 Hz screens feel laggy now. The camera is noticeably better, I’ve always considered 4a’s camera to be way above its price range in terms of quality but 8a beats it. And also I like that 8a comes in mint, that’s always been my favorite color.
