It is rumored that on May 14, Google will reveal the Pixel 8a at its I/O 2024 event. Even though Google’s upcoming smartphone is still about two weeks away from release, practically all of the important information, like as battery life, AI features, display specifications, performance information, and more, has already surfaced online. This is an overview of all the information we currently know about Google’s upcoming smartphone, the ‘A’ series.

Expected specifications for the Pixel 8a:

A 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels, and a peak brightness of 1400 nits is most likely going to be included in the Pixel 8a.

The smartphone, like the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, might be powered by Google’s most recent Tensor G3 processor. When compared to its before siblings, the G3 on the Pixel 8a is probably underclocked, however. According to a rumor published earlier this year by Android Authority, the G3 SoC on the Pixel 8a will utilize an alternative plastic package, called IPoP (Integrated Package on Package), rather than FOPLP (Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging), even though the silicon die within the chipset will remain the same. Up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage and up to 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM could be available on the Pixel 8a.

The Pixel 8a may use the same optics as its predecessor, which includes a 50MP Sony IMX712 extreme wide-angle sensor and a 64MP Sony IMX787 the primary sensor. A 13MP Sony712 front-facing camera may also be included in the next Pixel phone to meet all of your needs for selfies and video calls.

Features of the Pixel 8a AI:

One of the primary selling points of the Pixel 8 series at the time of its launch last year was artificial intelligence. However, according to a claim from Android Headlines that uses leaked Google promotional material, the Pixel 8a will be available with some of the same AI functions, such as Circle to Search, Call Assist, Night Sight and Best Take, Audio Magic Eraser, and more.

The smartphone could go on sale on May 16, just two days after the I/O 2024 keynote event. It is expected to be released in four color variants: Obsidian, Porcelain, Mint, and Bay.

Support for Pixel 8a software:

The 8a is anticipated to run Android 14, just as the Pixel 8 series. In addition, according to the Android Headlines report, Google might guarantee seven years’ worth of security upgrades for its next smartphone, though it doesn’t specify how often the OS would be updated.

With the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, Google made a noteworthy promise to provide seven years of OS and security patch updates-the first of any Android manufacturer up until that point. Samsung quickly followed suit, guaranteeing its flagship Galaxy S24 family will receive operating system upgrades and security patches for seven years.
