Google is preparing to release a more affordable version in its smartphone lineup - Pixel 8a. Despite some updates, the novelty has maintained the price of its predecessor.
The Pixel 8a smartphone features a 6.1-inch display with a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels and (for the first time for a Google mid-ranger) a 120Hz refresh rate. Other innovations include the Google Tensor G3 processor, the same flagship chip (with minor technical nuances) available in the Pixel 8. The battery capacity has also increased - from 4385 mAh in the Pixel 7a to 4492 mAh in the Pixel 8a. The smartphone's body has more rounded corners. Google promises to provide OS updates for 7 years, so the phone should remain relevant until 2031.
Other specifications match the Pixel 7a. The innovation has 8GB of RAM, 128GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, an in-screen fingerprint scanner, supports 18W wired charging and 5W wireless charging. The camera has also remained unchanged. Users have access to a 64-megapixel main module, a 13-megapixel ultra-wide module, and a front camera with a 13-megapixel sensor. The body provides protection against dust and water according to the IP67 standard.
The Google Pixel 8a smartphone is already available for pre-order at a price of $499, and actual sales will start on May 14. The novelty is offered in black, white, green, and blue colors.
