The Google Pixel 8a is all over the internet, creating a buzz ahead of its launch. Google has not disclosed any details about the smartphone, but the leaks and rumours are not stopping. If you are planning to buy a mid-range smartphone, you have plenty of options even right now. But, I would suggest you wait for the Google Pixel 8a as the rumours are claiming big upgrades this year. Here are three interesting Pixel 8a details that we gathered from the internet.
The Google Pixel 8a is rumoured to feature a slightly underclocked version of the Tensor G3 chipset paired with Mali-G715 GPU. However, Google’s proprietary chipset might not outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in raw performance. Additionally, the Pixel 8a is expected to retain the same 6.1-inch AMOLED display as its predecessor, but rumours suggest that Google will upgrade the refresh rate from 90Hz to 120Hz. Reports also indicate that the device will offer 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with speculation hinting that the Pixel 8a could be Google’s first budget phone to offer up to 256GB of storage.

According to a recent report by Android Headlines, the phone will offer the same AI features as the Pixel 8 series with a leaked ad hinting that features like Best Take, Audio Magic Eraser, and Night Sight will be available on the Pixel 8a. And for those wondering, the ad also suggests that Circle to Search will be available on the upcoming device.
Google’s Pixel A series devices often draw inspiration from the latest installment in the series, meaning that the Pixel 8a could have more noticeable curves compared to its predecessor. We already have seen several renders of the upcoming device suggesting the same which also hints that the Pixel 8a will sport a much curvier design compared to the rectangle-ish Pixel 7a. It is also expected to offer the same IP67 water and dust resistance just like the Pixel 8 series.
