The highly anticipated Google Pixel 8a is gearing up for its official launch on May 14, and a comprehensive specs leak has surfaced, courtesy of Android Headlines. This leak corroborates previously rumored details and sheds light on the smartphone’s impressive hardware and software offerings.
At the heart of the Pixel 8a will be Google’s latest Tensor G3 chipset, coupled with a 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED display sporting a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 2,000 nits, protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3. The device is expected to pack a larger 4,492mAh battery, which could be marketed as a 4,500mAh unit, promising up to 24 hours of endurance or an incredible 72 hours with the Extreme Battery Saver mode enabled. Additionally, the Pixel 8a will support Qi wireless charging for added convenience.
One of the standout features of the Pixel 8a is its unparalleled software support. According to the leak, the device will not only receive seven years of security updates but also OS upgrades and feature drops throughout its lifespan, setting a new benchmark in the industry.
In the camera department, the Pixel 8a will reportedly retain the same setup as its predecessor, the Pixel 7a, featuring a 64MP primary camera with OIS, a 13MP ultra-wide lens, and a 13MP selfie shooter. However, it will introduce new camera features like Magic Editor, Best Take, and Ultra HDR, complementing existing capabilities like Night Sight, Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, Portrait Light, Portrait Mode, and Audio Magic Eraser.
The Google Pixel 8a is rumored to be available in four stunning color options: Obsidian, Porcelain, Bay, and Aloe (previously rumored as Mint). Storage configurations will include 128GB and 256GB options, with the Indian pricing expected to be around ₹36,999 and ₹41,499, respectively.
With its impressive hardware upgrades, unmatched software support, and Google’s signature camera prowess, the Pixel 8a is shaping up to be a compelling offering in the mid-range smartphone market, catering to consumers seeking a premium experience without breaking the bank.
