Rumours have already taken up the tech market, it’s all about the upcoming Google Pixel 8a launch date, specs and also the price tag.
Google Pixel 8a launch to be expected in May during the company’s annual developer conference. As we are assuming closer to the rumoured launch timeline, more leaks about the Pixel 7a successor are surfacing on the Web.
The handset has leaked again in few new live images offering a glimpse into its possible design. Images suggest a black colour option for the Pixel 8a. The handset is seen with a curved display and noticeable bezels. The Pixel 8a is expected to run on the Tensor G3 SoC.
The shot of the rear is pretty much what you’d expect: there’s the camera ‘visor’ going from one side of the frame to the other, housing two sensors and a circular LED flash array, minimal G branding, and not much.

Google Pixel 8a launch: Storage options
You can get phones like the OnePlus Ace 3 or the Galaxy S24 Ultra with up to 512GB or 1TB storage, and almost all mid-range phones have 256GB or up to 512GB storage options. Then there’s the Pixel 7a. It is only available with a paltry 128GB, with Google offering no other storage configuration.
There should be a upgraded storage version available in this pixel 8a phone as compared to it’s predecessors. While 128GB might feel sufficient initially, but eventually you will run out of storage space after a few months of use.
Install a few big apps and games, shoot some videos, and download some offline playlists on Spotify, and you’ll end up the available space in no time. Thankfully, recent rumors suggest that’s exactly what we’re getting this time.
