Google Pixel 8a has been spotted online in images shared by a retailer, although the company has not announced any plans to launch the smartphone yet. Before hitting the global markets, the successor to the Pixel 7a is expected to be unveiled by the search giant at its annual Google I/O developer conference next month. The latest image leaked online shows Google’s upcoming Pixel 8a phone in two colors, and the design of the handset appears to be in line with recent leaks.

X (formerly Twitter) user PerOre15 (@Mohamma11824513) leaked an image of the Pixel 8a (Via DroidReader) along with the retail box, in blue and green color options – previous leaks suggest that these colors are called Bay and Mint respectively. The latter appears to be a brighter shade of green than the Pixel 8.

The leaker also claims that the Pixel 8a is already being sold in some markets in Morocco. This is interesting, because Google has not yet shared any teaser for the alleged successor to the Pixel 7a. Looking at the company’s launch schedule over the past few years, we can expect the Pixel 8a to be unveiled by the company in the coming weeks – possibly at Google I/O 2024, which is scheduled to begin on May 14.

As per previous reports, the Google Pixel 8a will be powered by the same Tensor G3 chip that powers the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, with support for 5G connectivity. The smartphone is also said to feature a 6.1-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is an upgrade from its predecessor which was equipped with a 90Hz screen.

Google has been advised to retain the same camera hardware on the Pixel 8a that was available on its predecessor. This means that the phone may have a dual rear camera setup with a 64-megapixel main camera and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera. According to reports, like last year’s Pixel 7a, it will support wireless charging and have an IP rating.
