The Google Pixel 8a‘s official announcement is still more than ten days away. And yet, we’re now at the stage where we’re seeing at least one leak regarding it each and every day, if not two.
Today’s leak seems to basically be the Google website listing for the Pixel 8a, obviously prepared in advance for the launch. It’s unclear if this was made live for a short while by mistake, or if it was leaked from inside the website’s development team.
Either way, here it is. Note the weird outline around the text, which probably means this has been machine translated into English from another language. The Google Pixel 8a is an “AI smartphone”, the material tells us, which “will accompany you every day”.
So now we know how Google is planning on marketing its next affordable device. The company will also emphasize the “high performance camera”, the “fresh design”, the 7 years of software support, and the phone’s “durable design”, whatever that means.
The AI features aren’t anything special or unique to this Pixel, but they are painstakingly detailed nevertheless. The Tensor G3 chipset is confirmed for the umpteenth time, and it will be joined by the Titan M2 security chip. The phone will be IP67 certified for dust and water resistance, and the screen will have Gorilla Glass 3 on top.
When you buy a Pixel 8a, you’ll receive three months of YouTube Premium, six months of Fitbit Premium, and three months of Google One’s 100GB plan for free.
