Google Pixel 8a, expected as an affordable midrange addition to their Pixel series, has been widely anticipated and extensively leaked over recent weeks. Most notably, however, unofficial images were seen being promoted for Fi Wireless carrier service by Google itself.
Pixel 8a Appearance
Google has introduced their Pixel 8a with both blue and off-white variants featuring dual camera systems in this advertisement, easily distinguishable by details unique to it compared to its standard Pixel 8.
Identification of Pixel 8a
In contrast to its name suggests, the Pixel 8 does not come in blue or white colors like its variant Pixel 8a does, nor is the microphone near its cameras present on this design (an attribute unique to its big brother Pixel 8). These characteristics indicate that device in question likely belongs to Google Pixel 8a family; whether its inclusion was intentional remains unknown.
Specifications Insights
Google Fi's advertisement did not reveal any new details regarding Pixel 8a; rather, it focused on their pricing structures and offerings.
Rumors surrounding the specifications of Google Pixel 8a have surfaced. According to reports, it will feature an OLED 6.1-inch FHD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate, along with possibly housing the Tensor G3 chip found inside other Pixel devices paired with either 128GB or 256GB storage options.
Camera and Charging Upgrades
According to reports, the Pixel 8a could feature an OIS main camera with 64 MP resolution as well as 13 MP ultrawide lens reminiscent of its predecessor (the Pixel 7a), in addition to 13MP selfie camera for taking pictures at night or taking selfies during day.
