The Google Pixel 8A is official, with a quiet launch ahead of Google I/O later this month. It is the first time Google has launched its premium mid-range handset unceremoniously without an official event. Like the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, the Pixel 8A has seven years of software support, which is unprecedented for a mid-range smartphone. However, the handset leaked in recent weeks, so only a few surprises were left. Pixel 8A retains the general design and size of its predecessor. The corners are slightly more rounded, keeping in line with the Pixel 8’s general design language. It has a 6.1-inch screen with a couple of updates, like the refresh rate is 120Hz, up from 90Hz, and the peak brightness goes up to 2,000 nits. Google Pixel 8a $499.00 The Pixel 8a is the latest mid-range smartphone from Google, with a strong camera, long battery life, and four stylish colors to choose from.
