It's pretty certain that Google Pixel 8a will be announced at Google I/O 2024 on May 14th. As the day approaches, a new trove of leaks has come to light that gives us a better idea of what it's all about. We can expect a lot from this mid-ranger.
First, a famous forecaster Evan Blasshas posted extensive photos of the Pixel 8a. You can see the phone from the front, back, and diagonally, and see his four rumored colors: Obsidian (black), Porcelain (whitish), Bay (blue), and Mint (green).
There's not much new here, as these designs have leaked before, but this is evidence of what the Pixel 8a will actually look like. The images are sharp and clear, so you can clearly see the design.
The phone looks a lot like the Pixel 8 and Pixel 7a, with a recognizable camera bar on the back. However, this year's mid-range Pixel appears to feature an even more curved frame than its immediate predecessor.
Moving on to the next leak, MySmartPrice has managed to obtain a promotional video for the Pixel 8a. The video was briefly available on YouTube before it was removed, but since YouTube is owned by Google, we're guessing it came from someone higher up.
If you want to see a still image taken from a video before it disappears, you can find it on Phandroid. In fact, there's not much new in this video other than seeing the Pixel 8a itself. Many of the AI features featured in this clip, such as instant photo editing and live text translation, are already available on new Pixel smartphones.
The last leak for now ended with Android Headlines. There, you'll find some promotional images showcasing some of the Pixel 8a's features, including features like Circle to Search. Images hint at all-day battery life, a Tensor G3 chipset, IP67 protection, and seven years of security updates.
According to the same source, the Google Pixel 8a's release date is scheduled for May 16th, and there are also some photos of the official silicone case that comes with it. Details about this upcoming smartphone are expected to be announced on May 14th.
