Another day, another Google Pixel 8a leak - this phone simply doesn't seem to want to stop leaking ahead of the expected official unveiling on May 14 during Google's annual I/O developer conference. We've recently seen the Pixel 8a in all colors, but those renders weren't the highest quality. Fret not, however, for today's leak brings us higher quality renders of the upcoming device, once again in all four colorways.

Google's upcoming Pixel 8a just can't stop leaking, it seems. Following a couple of purported live images showing it a few days ago, today a new leak arrives to show us all four colors that will be available. Google Pixel 8a in Obsidian These will be called Obsidian (black), Porcelain (white), Bay (blue), and Mint (pretty self-descriptive). We've seen all of these before on other Pixel devices - the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro come in Mint, while the latter also has a Bay version.

Google's upcoming Pixel 8a has been leaking like crazy lately. Most recently, we've had a spec sheet for it outed a few days ago, not long after another one. Last week Google itself may have even shown us the Pixel 8a in an ad for its carrier in the US. Today a couple of new images of the phone have leaked, showing both the back and the front of the colorway that undoubtedly will be called Obsidian (since that's what Google likes to call black these days).

We know the Pixel 8a is coming and we have a good idea of what to expect - Tensor G3 chip, 8 GB of RAM, 128/256 GB of storage, 120 Hz display with 1,400 nits of peak brightness. It will look very similar to the Pixel 8, and it will likely be a bit more expensive than the 7a. However, if this leak proves correct, Google may be closer to announcing the 8a than we expected. A Google Fi Wireless ad that seemingly shows the Pixel 8a front and center. The reasoning is that the Porcelain phone doesn't have the mic hole in the same spot as the Pixel 8 (between the cameras and the LED). It...

If you are in the market for a compact flagship in the first half of this year, you are probably eyeing the Samsung Galaxy S24, Google Pixel 8 or Xiaomi 14. But with the Xiaomi 14 asking a price premium, this leaves the Galaxy S24 and the Pixel 8 as the more sensible duo. Table of Contents: Design Display Battery Life Charging Speaker Test Performance Cameras Verdict The two handsets have similar hardware and dimensions, so we can see why some users would find it hard to make a choice, so let's dive in. For starters, you can compare the complete specs...

When it announced Gemini, Google also revealed its tiers, one of which is called Nano and runs entirely on-device. The company initially wanted to gatekeep Gemini Nano and only make it available for the Pixel 8 Pro, even though the 'vanilla' Pixel 8 has the same chipset. A lot of online backlash ensued, and what do you know - Google has now changed its tune. Apparently it is possible to bring Gemini Nano to the Pixel 8, and it will arrive as a developer preview with the next Pixel Feature Drop, which is expected in June. Google noted that it's noticed a lot of "excitement" for...

The Pixel 9 appeared in a new set of CAD-based renders suggesting that Google is going for a new approach to its phone launch schedule. We previously saw two sets of renders back in January which are now said to have been the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The new images show the same basic design as the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL with a flat metal frame and revised camera island which now adopts an oval shape without warping into the frame like the visors on the previous two generations of Pixels. Google Pixel 9 renders The source claims Pixel 9 will offer a...

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is quite possibly the most complete Android smartphone on the market but where does that leave Google, Android's very creator, and its own Pixel phone? Out of lockstep, the two lineups are bound to be somewhat mismatched when it comes to having the latest hardware, but that doesn't mean that the Pixel 8 Pro, now in the middle of its lifecycle, doesn't have its advantages over the Galaxy. Let's try and find them. Table of Contents: Design Display Battery Life Charging Speaker Test Performance Cameras Verdict For starters, you can...

Google's Pixel 8a is coming soon, perhaps launching in May at the annual I/O developer conference. We've already seen it in CAD-based renders, and recently heard a disturbing rumor about it being more expensive than the Pixel 7a. Ever since then we've been wondering what upgrades it might bring to make the price hike palatable, and today a new leak brings the answer. The Pixel 8a will have a 120 Hz refresh rate, for the first time for an a-series Pixel, and it will be powered by the Tensor G3 chipset just like the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. The Pixel 8a's screen will have 1,400 nits...
