The Pixel 8a will have the same rounded corners as the other models in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In addition 1\/1 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Google?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Google<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pixel7a?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Pixel7a<\/a> VS <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pixel8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Pixel8<\/a> VS <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pixel8a?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Pixel8a<\/a>&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FutureSquad?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FutureSquad<\/a> ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0spMsmue0q\">pic.twitter.com\/0spMsmue0q<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OnLeaks\/status\/1711772908375179349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 10, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it will be slightly larger than the main model, <strong>with dimensions of 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And despite its increased size, the screen won&#8217;t be bigger. <strong>In fact, it will be the opposite. The report reveals thicker bezels around the corners, reducing the screen size to 6.1 inches, compared to the Pixel 8&#8217;s 6.2 inches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A very consistent design: yet another Pixel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other notable design features include the rear camera module, which will maintain the visor-like appearance for which the series is known. <strong>On the front, you will see a small pinhole cutout for the selfie camera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The power and volume buttons are on the left side, with the SIM tray on the opposite side. <strong>At the bottom edge, you&#8217;ll find a USB-C charging port between the speakers<\/strong>. The top edge apparently houses &#8220;an ultra-wideband antenna,&#8221; according to SmartPrix. The device will be available in sky blue and what appears to be peach pink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"pt\" dir=\"ltr\">Google Pixel 8A codename Akita<br>Tensor G3<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Google?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Google<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pixel8?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Pixel8<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pixel8a?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Pixel8a<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KMihyGk9ex\">pic.twitter.com\/KMihyGk9ex<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yabhishekhd\/status\/1704850916082663793?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most interesting part is that these images align with another leak from late September. Apparently, industry insider Abhishek Yadav <strong>got hold of a prototype and posted pictures of it on Twitter<\/strong>. So, the rounder design might be more plausible than we initially thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And in terms of power? Less powerful, obviously<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, being a mid-range device, the Pixel 8a won&#8217;t be more powerful than its siblings. The SmartPrix report mentions a benchmark test discovered back in August for the smartphone, referred to by its codename: Google Akita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results suggest that <strong>the model will feature an &#8220;underclocked variant of the Tensor G3 chipset, along with the Mali-G715 GPU.&#8221;<\/strong> The amount of memory remains the same, as it &#8220;appears with 8 GB of RAM.&#8221; Of course, Android 14 will be the operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Google&#039;s Pixel 8a revealed in leak, new SOC and CURVY\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b7RI0jv7xhM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And a good photography section, as is typical of Google<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to the rear camera, <strong>we know that the Pixel 8a will have two lenses judging by the images, but we don&#8217;t know how many megapixels each one will have<\/strong>. If history repeats itself, the phone&#8217;s camera could have more megapixels than the standard model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is similar to how the lenses on the Pixel 7a are technically better than those on the Pixel 7<\/strong>. However, keep in mind that more megapixels don&#8217;t always mean better photos. Other factors such as the processor come into play. <strong>Taking photos on the Pixel 8a might be a less impressive experience<\/strong>, although not necessarily bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, take this information with a grain of salt. Things can always change at any moment. <strong>The leaks didn&#8217;t provide a release date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But again, if history repeats itself, we could see a launch in May 2024, just like we did with the Pixel 7a when it was released in May 2023. Google&#8217;s budget-friendly model always comes out midway through the generation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Android 14\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/888d43f8-368b-4775-802c-936973a5b407\/873581939\/android-14-2023-04-13_17-33-29.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Android 14<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/android-14.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/android-14.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If history repeats itself, we could see a launch in May 2024 just like we saw with the Pixel 7a when it launched in May 2023.
