Based on the marketing material, the Pixel 8a appears to be a very promising device

Our friends at Android Headlines managed to get some new information about the Pixel 8a. All the information they have on hand comes from marketing material, which is more or less confirmation of what Google is going to bring to the table, so if you’re looking for some confirmation, this leak more or less confirms everything you need. . to know.

As you can see in the image above, it looks like the Pixel 8a will offer AI-powered camera features, including Best Take, Audio Magic Eraser, and Night Sight. If you’re familiar with Pixel devices, this might come as a surprise to you, because Google’s features work really, really well, and I’m glad the company is bringing these features to a more affordable device as well.

Next, Google also showed that the Pixel 8a will also bring other AI improvements such as Call Assist, email summary and Circle to Search. Hopefully these are just the standout features and there will be more from Google as we move forward.

Google also clarifies the specifications it will present on the Pixel 8a. The phone will feature Tensor G3, fast charging for an all-day battery, and noise cancellation when you’re on calls. These features are more than expected from Pixel devices as they have been a standard for some time now.

The Pixel 8a will also feature Google One VPN, which is the same thing Google killed recently. You’re also looking at IP67 dust and water resistance, and there’s also a promise of seven years of security updates. Last but not least, the phone is expected to launch on May 16th, later this year, something you can find on the home screens in one of the renders.

Considering how Google I/O 2024 will launch on May 14, it makes sense for Google to release the Pixel 8a two days after the event. The phone will be available in four colors, Black, Blonde, Mint and Porcelain, and this time it should be available in multiple storage options. We also expect the device to start at $500 for the base variant and then go up for more RAM and storage.
