The Google Pixel 8a is an upcoming mid-range smartphone, and it is supposed to continue the tradition of its predecessors by providing premium features but at an economical price tag. This Pixel series device zeroes in on great camera performance, pure Android experience, good quality build, and all while keeping the price in check. Here’s an in-depth look at the specs, features, and other important details of the upcoming Google Pixel 8a.
Google Pixel 8a Display
The Pixel 8a will pack a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with 1080 x 2400 pixels, most likely—Google, sticking with its 90Hz smooth refresh rate for effective scrolling and good touch response. Probably, the display screen will be sharp, and vibrant in colors, with deep blacks being good for content consumption and gaming. Probably, it might support HDR10+ for more dynamism in colors and enhanced contrast.
Google Pixel 8a Performance and Hardware
Powering its functions under the hood is said to be Google’s in-house Tensor G3 chipset. We might see the superior advancement of AI and better machine learning, along with improvements in energy efficiency and further improvement in computational photography with the G3 Tensor. Well, the Pixel 8a should be good at handling multitasking and daily chores with 8GB RAM and up to 128GB of storage. Unfortunately, like most Pixel devices, it is unlikely to expand that storage.
Google Pixel 8a Camera Setup
The camera system is the strong point of the Pixel series, and, of course, it’s not going to be any different for the Pixel 8a. It’s going to sport a dual-camera setup at the back: a 64MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultrawide sensor. The primary sensor shall likely be sharp and detailed, while the latter should be expansive with less distortion.
Given that Google sticks to its software-based image processing—the one that graces devices with the likes of Night Sight, Portrait Mode, and Super Res Zoom—one can expect similar results. Up front, the Pixel 8a could have a lone 13MP camera for selfies and video calls, but with advanced AI features to provide great performance in poor light and more natural skin tones.

Google Pixel 8a Battery and Charging

Although not very impressive, these are in line with the whole idea of the Pixel series: optimization of battery performance and software tweaks over straight charging power.
Google Pixel 8a Price and Availability
Though the company hasn’t revealed an exact price, the Pixel 8a would be competitively priced in the mid-range segment to probably stay at around Rs 40,000 in India. Going by Google’s past record, the Pixel 8a might get officially unveiled during the Google I/O 2024 event, followed up by a global launch soon after.
