New Pixel 8a leak hints at a major upgrade in almost every way

Kelly Wang/ZDNET

If you're considering buying a new Pixel smartphone, you might want to wait a few months. Google Pixel 8a is expected to be released, or at least announced, at the company's I/O 2024 conference in May. Thanks to a new leak, we now know the phone's likely specs, which might give you pause about the more expensive Pixel 8.

The leak comes courtesy of Android Authority, which cites “sources inside Google.”

First is the display. It appears to be set to have a 120hz refresh rate and 1,400 nits of HDR brightness. That's significantly better than the Pixel 7a at 90hz and 1,000 nits, and even more surprisingly on par with the Pixel 8. It's an even competition, at least when it comes to display. The screen size of the Pixel 8a is also 6.1 inches, the same as the Pixel 7a, and slightly smaller than the Pixel 8. Good news for those who don't like big smartphones.

Additionally, the specifications suggest that Google's Pixel 8a will be powered by a Tensor G3 chip. This isn't necessarily surprising, but it puts the device once again on par with the Pixel 8 and offers a significant upgrade from the G2 that came with the Pixel 7a. The G3 chip is also the brains behind the Pixel 8 Pro's much-touted AI features, some of which were removed in the base Pixel 8. It is unclear whether the Pixel 8a's AI features are even less compared to his Pixel 8, or if they are even included. It will be equivalent.

And finally, Android Authority revealed that the Pixel 8a is likely to receive support for DisplayPort output. This is a feature that the rest of the Pixel 8 series technically had at launch, but it remained unused until the recent beta release. This feature allows you to connect an external display using the USB-C port, essentially turning your phone into a mini-computer.

One area where the Pixel 8a likely won't catch up to the Pixel 8 is the camera. The Pixel 8a appears to carry over the same cameras as the Pixel 7a: 64MP main camera, 13MP ultrawide camera, and 13MP selfie camera.

The leak didn't include a price, but given these specs, it might be hard to choose the Pixel 8 once the Pixel 8a is released. The Pixel 7a was priced at $499 at launch, and if the 8a can match that price, it's going to be a great deal.
