Pixel 8a price tipped ahead of rumoured May launch event
Tipster Yogesh Brar has claimed on X (previously on Twitter) that the Pixel 8a will be announced in May, which won't be surprising because Google is hosting its I/O 2024 event on May 14. As for the price, he claims that the Pixel 8a could cost between $500 and $550, which is around Rs 41,648 to Rs 45,813 in India when converted. The upcoming Pixel phone is expected to be priced in India under Rs 50,000, just like previous models. To recall, the Pixel 7a was launched in India last year with a price tag of Rs 43,999.
Pixel 8a leaks: Specs, features
If leaks are to be believed, the Pixel 8a could feature a 6.1-inch full-HD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. The panel is expected to have a peak HDR brightness of 1,400nits, matching the higher-end Pixel 8 model. This would be a significant improvement over the Pixel 7a, which had a 90Hz screen.
Under the hood, the Pixel 8a is said to be powered by the Tensor G3 chipset, similar to the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. However, there might be a variation in the chipset used. While the regular G3 chip employs FOPLP (Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging), the Pixel 8a's G3 chip could utilise IPoP (Integrated Package on Package) technology.
The smartphone is also said to sport a bigger 4,500mAh battery under the hood. Its predecessor, the Pixel 7a has a 4,385mAh battery. It's expected to support 27W fast charging for quick battery refills. As usual, Google won't bundle a charger in the retail box along with the smartphone.
The leaks also suggest that the handset will have the same rear camera setup as its predecessor. Hence, the new one is said to feature a 64-megapixel primary camera with OIS support and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide camera at the back. For selfies, we might see a 13-megapixel front camera.
