pricing of the Google Pixel 8a. That puts an end to the drama surrounding the Google Pixel 8a leaks, which occurred only a few days before the device was supposed to be shown at the I/O developers conference. An insider by the name of @OnLeaks, working in conjunction with Smartprix, said earlier today that they had revealed further marketing renderings of the next cheap phone, which included the phone’s asking price.
It would seem that Google is planning to add a price tag of $499 to its next smartphone, namely the type with 128GB of basic storage. Customers will be required to pay $599 for the edition that has 256 gigabytes of storage space. This price is the same as the one that was asked for for the Google Pixel 7a, which was released a year ago and received praise for its outstanding combination of raw power, photographic capabilities, and a Pixel software experience that was crammed with features.

The most recent batch of supposed marketing material portrays the Pixel 8a in a stealth black color, a ceramic-inspired white color, and a blue color that is similar to the blue color that was used on its predecessor. In addition, there is a new “mint” green color that, if you ask me, may be worth sacrificing a chunk of your soul for, or it could just be plain “disgusting,” according to a veteran at Digital Trends who chooses to remain anonymous.
First things first: before we go into the hardware, let’s have a look at the most interesting aspect of the phone, as determined by leaks, of course. Along the same lines as the pledge that Google has made for the premium Google Pixel 8 series of smartphones, the phone will get operating system upgrades for a period of seven years. In addition, Google will graciously provide you with these techniques as well, just in case you have been misled by the bombardment of artificial intelligence tactics.
Android Headlines reports that customers who purchase a Pixel 8a will have access to AI-assisted capabilities inside the Google Photos app. These features include the Audio Magic Eraser, which is designed to aid in the removal of undesirable audio bits from video recordings. Furthermore, Night Sight and Best Take, both of which have been present for quite some time, are also considered to be niceties. Additionally, the Circle to Search feature will be considered, and the email summarizer technique that was inspired by Shortwave should be added as well. Call Assist will be accessible to check incoming calls for spam.
The construction of the Pixel 8a is going to be certified as IP67, which indicates that it will be able to withstand a few inadvertent dips in a bucket of water without any problems. It is also said that the device would have a 120Hz OLED display and the Tensor G3 processor embedded inside it, and that it would be powered by a 4,500 mAh battery.
Yogesh Brar, another leaker, recently revealed on Twitter that the photography system of the Pixel 8a would be driven by a primary camera with 64 megapixels and a 13 megapixel sensor for ultrawide recording. In order to take selfies and make video calls, Google has equipped its budget-friendly smartphone with a competent 13-megapixel camera.
The maximum power that can be supplied via rapid charging is 27 watts, and there will only be two storage options available for consideration. The annual developer’s conference that Google is hosting will begin on May 14, and it is anticipated that the company will unleash a plethora of generative artificial intelligence technologies for Android phones. Moreover, it is anticipated that it will provide a glimpse of the changes that will be included in Android 15 later this year.
Digital Trends will be there at the event, so be sure to stay tuned for the most recent news and insights from Google’s highly anticipated software carnival.
