Google,NASDAQ: GOOG,Google Pixel 8A

I’m a London-based freelance journalist who specializes in all aspects of technology including reviews, investigations, comment and news. My Audible original podcast 'The Squid Scam' came out in January 2023. I have also written for The Guardian, TechRadar, The Evening Standard, New Scientist and others.

technology, in their signature coral-red color at the Mobile World Congress 2024 on Android Avenue in Barcelona, Spain, on March 25, 2024. Google’s Pixel 8a will likely make its debut in two weeks at the company’s I/O developer event. But that hasn’t stopped the leaks, which have so far mostly focussed on specifications and design. Now, though, we have some insight into the handset’s price., and shows that Google isn’t planning to hike the Pixel 8a’s price in the U.S.

, the 8a will have an improved 120Hz OLED display with a higher maximum brightness of 1400 nits. The 7a’s 64MP Sony IMX787 camera sensor will return in the 8a, while the handset will be powered by a slightly downgraded version of the Tensor G3 chipset found in the flagship Pixel 8 range., shows that the new budget Pixel will come with seven years of security patches.

What is interesting is that there’s a coral color case, which hasn’t been seen in previous leaked images. This could be another variant Google decides to release later in the device cycle, as it did with the Mint model for the Pixel 8 in January, or it’s simply another case color option. Google is quite intentional with its official case colors, so this could be a clue that we’re getting a new hue for the Pixel range at some point in the future..

Specifically the image says seven years of “feature drops” and security updates. This tallies with previous leaks that Google won’t be offering seven years of Android updates, just security patches. But another one of Blass’ screenshots explicitly states that the 8a will receive seven years of OS updates too. This is likely a translation error, but we’ll have to see if Google really is that generous when it unveils the phone in a couple of weeks.

Elsewhere Google is going hard on pushing its other services by offering 8a buyers three months of free YouTube Premium, six months of Fitbit Premium and three months of the 100GB Google One plan. The expected AI features, like Magic Editor, Audio Eraser, Magic Eraser and Circle To Search get a namecheck, alongside the Google One VPN service and a “24 hour” battery life.
