The Google Pixel 8a is anticipated to be revealed at the company’s I/O event in May of this year.
In October 2023, Google revealed the Pixel 8 series, which includes the Pixel 8 base model and the Pixel 8 Pro variant. A Pixel 8a model is anticipated to join these two phones. The smartphone has shown online multiple times, but the corporation has not confirmed it. Some anticipated functionality and design cues have been hinted at by information regarding the rumored phone over the last few months. According to a recent source, the Google Pixel 8a, which is anticipated to go on sale later this year, was seen on a certification site with information about the phone’s battery.
A Google Pixel phone with the model code GH2MB is allegedly seen on the UL Demko certification website, according to a 91Mobiles report. According to the listing, the phone might include a 4,942mAh rated battery, while it will probably be sold with a 5,000mAh usual capacity. According to the source, the Google Pixel 8a might be the model. This is a significant improvement over the 4,385mAh battery seen in the Google Pixel 7a.
The source does point out that this item might possibly be a Google Pixel 9 series phone, since Google is known to include larger batteries in its flagship models. The Google Pixel 8 Pro, for example, has a 5,050mAh battery, while the standard Pixel 8 model has a 4,575mAh battery.
At the company’s I/O conference in May of this year, the Google Pixel 8a is anticipated to be unveiled. The rumored model is anticipated to be 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9 mm in dimension and feature 27W wired charging. The phone was shown in black in leaked retail packaging, with a dual camera arrangement with an LED flash placed horizontally atop an elevated, visor-like camera module. Leaked renders of the smartphone have already surfaced, resembling the basic Pixel 8 model in terms of style.
The 8GB + 128GB edition of the Google Pixel 8 was priced at Rs. 75,999 when it first released in India, while the 8GB + 256GB model was listed at Rs. 82,999. The 12GB + 128GB model of the Pixel 8 Pro costs Rs. 1,06,999, while the top-of-the-line 12GB + 256GB model costs Rs. 1,13,999.
