The Pixel 8a is widely believed to arrive at the Google I/O 2024 show, which is scheduled for May 10th.

Pixel 8a shows up in a new video
- The new video has been shared by X user @MysterLupin. This is the same handle that posted the renders of the Pixel 8a.
- The video appears to be recorded from an electronics store, which suggests a serious security lapse on Google’s part to contain early leaks.
- As revealed from earlier renders, the phone bears a horizontal strap on the back and this houses dual-camera sensors. We see the Google logo as well.
- The phone can be seen in Green and Blue colour options.
- The box packaging is also the same, with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable, a SIM ejector tool, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and some paper manual.
- The front design of the phone is not revealed as there is a seal on the screen considering they are retail units.
