The countdown has begun for Pixel 8a, which Google is preparing to launch as an affordable alternative to the Pixel 8 series, which it introduced to users last year. While the first details about the smartphone came in November, recent reports reveal some of the key features of the model. Here are Google Pixel 8a features, design, and potential launch date!
Google Pixel 8a features and launch date
Android Authority shared the features of Pixel 8a, which is expected to be introduced at the Google I/O conference in May. Accordingly, the smartphone will have a 6.1-inch FHD + resolution OLED display that offers a 120 Hz refresh rate. However, it will support 1,400 nits peak brightness and HDR technology.
As it is known, Pixel 7a, which was showcased last year, featured a 90 Hz refresh rate. As seen above, the new smartphone will come with serious improvements, especially on the screen side. Apart from this, the model will be powered by an overclocked version of Tensor G3.
