Google Pixel 8a Price, Color, Storage Options Leaked; It may be more expensive than the Pixel 7a

Google launched the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in October last year. Pixel 8a rumors are now floating around the web, pointing to a potential May launch. The phone was previously expected to debut as a mid-range offering, but according to a new report, the Pixel 8a could be more expensive than its predecessor, the Pixel 7a, at least in the European Union. It is expected to come in 128GB and 256GB storage options. It can be offered in four colors. The Pixel 8a is rumored to be equipped with the Google Tensor G3 SoC.

According to a report from Winfuture.de (German), the Pixel 8a will start at €570 (roughly Rs. 51,000) for the base variant with 128GB of storage. The 256GB storage version will reportedly retail for €630 (roughly Rs. 56,000). If this leak turns out to be true, it will mark a significant jump from the Pixel 7a’s starting price of €499 (roughly Rs. 45,000).

The Pixel 8a will reportedly be launched in Gray (light blue), Mint (light green), Obsidian (black) and Porcelain (beige) colors. However, not all covers may be available for both storage options.

Notably, the Google Pixel 7a was launched in India in May last year at a price of Rs. 43,999 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage model. Pricing rumors could pit the Pixel 8a against rivals like the OnePlus 12R, Nothing Phone 2 and the Galaxy S23 FE in the market.

Google is believed to announce the Pixel 8a at its I/O event sometime in May. It is said to feature a 6.1-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate and may run on Google’s Tensor G3 SoC along with 8GB of RAM. The handset may pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 27W wired fast charging. It is said to measure 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9mm.
