Rumors swirling around the upcoming Google Pixel 8a hint at a possible launch at the annual I/O developer conference in May. The computer-assisted version has already given us a glimpse of what it looks like, but recent rumors point to the possibility of a price increase compared to its predecessor, the Pixel 7a.
To justify this price hike, enthusiasts eagerly await news on what changes the Pixel 8a can offer. A recent leak gives us some insight into what we can expect. The first in the Pixel lineup in the A-series, the Pixel 8A will boast a 120Hz refresh rate and will be equipped with a Tensor G3 chipset that matches the capabilities of the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
The Pixel 8a display is said to deliver an impressive peak HDR brightness of 1400 nits, promising brighter images. As expected, the overall design of the 8a is similar to its high-end counterparts Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Additionally, the 8a is said to support DisplayPort outputs, increasing its versatility.
While the camera specifications are unchanged from the Pixel 7a, one of the most interesting aspects of the Pixel 8a is its larger presence. While its predecessor was limited to 21 countries, the Pixel 8A is set to launch in those regions and expand to new markets including the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
With these enhancements and expandability, the Pixel 8a will offer users a robust combination of performance and accessibility.
