A recent report suggests that the upcoming Google Pixel 8a might come with a significant price increase compared to its predecessors, particularly in the EU market. According to information from reputable German retailers, the Pixel 8a is rumored to start at €570, while its predecessor, the Pixel 7a, launched at €500.
The Pixel 8a is expected to offer two storage options: 128GB and 256GB, priced at €570 and €630 respectively. Internal listings from German retailers reveal that the phone will be available in four color variations: Obsidian (black), Porcelain (beige), Bay (light blue), and Mint (light green). However, it’s important to note that not all color options may be available for both storage configurations, as the 256GB model is currently exclusively listed in Obsidian.
Anticipated to hit the market in April or May, the Pixel 8a is rumored to feature Google’s Tensor G3 SoC and come with 8GB of RAM. Its design is said to deviate from its predecessor, showcasing a rounder profile and housing two rear cameras in a distinctive ‘visor’ that spans the width of the phone’s back—a characteristic Pixel design element.
Speculation has also arisen regarding the reason behind the price increase. Some attribute it to the promise of 7 years of Android updates, a hallmark feature of the Pixel series. As the release date approaches, consumers eagerly await further details and official confirmation from Google regarding the Pixel 8a’s pricing and features.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Google Pixel 8a as information becomes available.
