While we’ve already seen high-quality renders of the Pixel 8a that give us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the design, the leaks haven’t stopped.

Google Pixel 8a live image details

  • The Google Pixel 8a live images show the complete design of the mid-range offering.
  • The images reiterate previous leaks of Pixel 8a adapting rounded design language introduced with the Pixel 8 series.
  • One key difference is the matte finish on the back panel, compared to a glossy finish on the Pixel 7a.
  • The display shows significant bezels around the screen, slightly more than the standard Pixel 8 series.
  • We see the volume rocker and power button on the right edge and the buttons look tactile.
  • Moving to the back, you see the familiar horizontal strap protruding above the back panel. This houses dual cameras and an LED flash.
  • We see the Pixel 8a in black colour but there could be other options at launch.

Pixel 8a specifications (expected)

  • The Google Pixel 8a is tipped to feature a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is a first in the Pixel A-series. 
  • The handset is believed to be powered by the Tensor G3 chipset, similar to the Pixel 8 series but slightly underclocked.
  • The handset is tipped to come in two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB storage.
  • The Google Pixel 8a is likely to run on Android 14 out-of-the-box.
  • The phone is expected to feature a 64MP primary camera with OIS and a 13MP ultra-wide camera. There could be a 13MP shooter on the front for selfies.
  • The pixel phone is expected to pack a 4,500mAh battery with 27W fast charging support. 

The Google Pixel 8a is tipped to debut in May, at the Google I/O 2024 event on May 14th. The handset is expected to be priced between $500 and $550, which makes it slightly costlier than previous Pixel A-series models.
