Specs, price and more: All the official information about the new Google Pixel 8a

The new Google Pixel 8a will be released in a few days, now with the final official details.

A few days before Google’s official presentation, tables and graphics are now appearing that confirm all the important key data of the new Android smartphone. It’s especially weird for the price, because now there’s official confirmation of what actually happens with it.

The price doesn’t stay the same, but it doesn’t get 90 euros more expensive either. The ultimate truth is right in the middle: 549 euros RRP. Google is making its mid-range Android phone even more expensive, but it’s only 40 euros – less than 10 percent – over its predecessor.

The new display will be significantly brighter and the battery will increase

We don’t talk much about technical data anymore, there are final data sheets and we have adapted our information on the blog for you accordingly. The most important key data of Pixel 8a is listed below for you.

Google Pixel 8a: Data sheet

Google’s Pixel 8a has:

• Tensor G3 chipset
• 6.1″ 120 Hz OLED display, 1,400 nits HDR brightness, Gorillas Glass 3, integrated fingerprint sensor
• 8 GB RAM memory
• 128 or 256 GB of storage (UFS 3.1)
• 64 MP + 13 MP dual-camera
• Android 14 is preinstalled from the factory
  Includes various AI functions
• Size: 152,1 x 72,7 x 8,9 mm, 188 g
• 4,492 mAh battery
  USB-C 3.2 with 18W fast charging, wireless charging
• Stereo speakers
• Update guarantee for full seven years
• Colors: Red, Green, Beige, Black and Blue

At what point does Google save money? The data storage is still old UFS 3.1, the image sensor of the main camera is rather old and very cheap to buy due to its technology, the Gorilla Glass 3 for the display is also very old and nothing happens during fast charging.

The offer you get is really amazing, at least in France, because there is an initial bonus worth 150 euros. This means that pre-orderers can get the Pixel 8a for just 399 euros. That is very cheap. Maybe there is a similar campaign here.
