Google has announced the latest addition to its Pixel A-series of mid-range smartphones, the Google Pixel 8A. The new device is available for preorder at a price of $499 and will go on sale May 14. According to Google, the Pixel 8A comes with several upgrades that make it an attractive option for those looking for a feature-packed smartphone without breaking the bank.
One of the most notable features of the Pixel 8A is its new OLED display, which boasts a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits and supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The device is powered by Google's Tensor G3 chipset with 8 GB of RAM and offers seven years of software updates. It comes with either 128 GB or 256 GB storage options.
The battery capacity has also increased to 4,492 mAh, offering a claimed improvement in battery life by up to 15%. The Pixel 8A's cameras include a main sensor of 64 megapixels and an ultrawide sensor of 13 megapixels. The front camera is also a 13-megapixel sensor.
Google has continued selling the Pixel 7A and has lowered the price of its Pixel Tablet to $399 as a standalone device. The new Google Pixel 8A is expected to receive attention during Google's I/O developer conference, where expectations are high for Android and artificial intelligence improvements.
The Pixel 8A is not without competition, with the OnePlus 12R also offering a mid-range smartphone experience. However, the Pixel 8A's seven years of software updates may give it an edge over its competitors in this price range.
Google announced the Pixel 8a at an earlier date than usual to give it more attention.

The article contains a few informal fallacies and some instances of inflammatory rhetoric. The author makes exaggerated claims about the durability of the phone's material covering ('should be pretty durable') without providing specific details, which is an example of an under-specified claim. Additionally, there are several instances where the author compares the Pixel 8a to its more expensive counterpart (Pixel 8) in a way that seeks to emphasize the differences in price and features as a positive aspect for budget-conscious consumers. This can be seen as inflammatory rhetoric.
Google says the material covering the display should be pretty durable as it’s made out of Gorilla Glass, though it hasn’t specified an exact type (e.g. Gorilla Glass 6, Victus or something else).
But if you like the Pixel 8a but might not care as much about AI, the Pixel 7a will still be on sale at a reduced price of $349.
The Pixel 8a doesn’t come with a lot of surprises, just like its predecessor, it’s shaping up to once again be the mid-range Android phone to beat.
