Google Pixel 8a, the ‘cheapie’ of the Pixel 8 series, just had a major leak

The Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro devices dropped last October, but budget-friendly Google fans have been wondering whether a Pixel 8a is in the works.

Well, if you’ve been sitting on the edge of your seat for news regarding the Pixel 8a, we’ve got a great scoop for you. The Google Pixel 8a, according to an exclusive from AndroidHeadlines, is reportedly coming in four new colors.

It’s worth noting that the Pixel 6a featured a Mint variant — and the Pixel 8 Pro comes in Bay.

Google Pixel 8a design and specs

The Google Pixel 8a will reportedly be close in design to the entry-level Pixel 8 that dropped in late 2023. Expect the following from the cheaper Pixel 8 series model, per AndroidHeadlines:

A matte-textured back
6.1-inch, FHD+, 90Hz display
Tensor G3 chip
4,500 mAh battery
64MP main camera
13MP ultrawide sensor

Rumor has it that changes to the cameras are minimal since the 7a’s shooters already underwent a significant gen-over-gen overhaul.

AndroidHeadlines suspects that the Google Pixel 8a will be released at Google I/O. Stay tuned for Mashable’s coverage of the highly anticipated Google event.
