Google’s next Pixel 8a will feature a 120Hz display, Tensor G3, and display output and will be widely available worldwide, according to a new report.
Android permissions report Expected to debut around or at Google I/O in May, the Google Pixel 8a will come with some notable upgrades.
The first, and perhaps most important for users, is the display upgrade. The Pixel 8a will reportedly come with a 6.1-inch FHD+ display at 120Hz. This is up from 90Hz on the Pixel 7a. The display is also noticeably brighter, with peak brightness reaching 1,400 nits while displaying HDR content.
Related to the display, this will clearly be Google’s first Pixel to support display output at launch. Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro recently added this feature in the latest Android 14 beta update.
Another big change to the hardware is the expected upgrade, Tensor G3. Google is apparently planning to follow the same path as the Pixel 7a, using a very slightly different version of Tensor G3. This might not be as thermally efficient to cut costs, but it should otherwise be very similar to what you’ll find in Google’s flagship product.
The camera is apparently unchanged, featuring the same 64MP sensor used in the main shooter, backed up by an ultra-wide camera. This and other details above apparently come from “sources inside Google.”
Finally, the report also notes that the Pixel 8a will be sold in more regions around the world. In addition to the existing 21 countries, Pixel 8a will also expand to the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. These added countries are based on the electronic warranty information in 8a.
The Pixel 8a has already been leaked several times, and even Google has directly confirmed that it’s coming. As mentioned earlier, this device could be released around his I/O scheduled for May 14, 2024.
