According to a new report, Google’s upcoming Pixel 8a is getting a 120Hz display, Tensor G3, display output and wider availability worldwide.
Android Authority reports The Google Pixel 8a is expected to debut soon or at Google I/O in May, bringing several notable improvements.
The first and perhaps most user-facing will be the screen update. The Pixel 8a will probably have a 6.1-inch FHD+ display with a frequency of 120Hz. That’s up from 90Hz on the Pixel 7a. When displaying HDR content, the screen will be brighter with a high peak brightness of 1400 nits.
Also related to the display, this will probably be Google’s first Pixel with display output support at launch. The Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro recently added this feature with the latest Android 14 beta update.
The other big change in the hardware will be the expected upgrade, the Tensor G3. Google will probably follow the same path with the Pixel 7a, using a slightly different version of the Tensor G3, which may not save as much heat to keep costs down, but should be very similar to what’s found in Google’s flagships.
The cameras are apparently unchanged, with the same 64MP sensor used for the primary shooter backed by an ultra-wide camera. This and other details above apparently come from a “source within Google”.
Finally, the report also mentions that the Pixel 8a will be sold in more regions around the world. In addition to the existing 21 countries, the Pixel 8a will expand to the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. This supplement is based on electronic warranty information for countries 8a.
The Pixel 8a has already leaked several times, and Google has directly confirmed its arrival. As mentioned, the device is expected to launch around I/O 2024, which is set for May 14.
