Pixel 8a leak reveals price, battery, and more

Another new Pixel 8a leak has revealed more images of the device, as well as the US price which, contrary to past rumors, may not see a price hike after all.

In recent weeks, Pixel 8a leaks have suggested that Google is considering raising the price of its mid-range device, although it already raised the price of the Pixel 7a last year. However, US pricing was never disclosed, but that has now changed.

SmartPrix cites information from @OnLeaks that the US price of the Pixel 8a will actually be the same as the Pixel 7a at $499. That’s for the 128GB variant, where the new 256GB model would jump up to $559.

Beyond that, the same report also mentions that the Pixel 8a’s battery size will increase to 4,500mAh. This is an increase from the Pixel 7a’s 4,385 mAh. The Pixel 8a will also reportedly feature a 120Hz display, as we’ve heard before.

Finally, the report also reveals several more official marketing images of the phone, showing its black, blue, and green colors in real-world settings. There’s not much revealed from these, but one image shows Circle to Search in action.

The Pixel 8a is expected to debut in the coming weeks, especially as Google I/O is fast approaching on May 14.
