The original price of the Google Pixel 8a will be the launch price that we reported here in yesterday.
In addition, we have just obtained the start date of marketing of the Google Pixel 8a which will be well before the date of the Google I/O event.
The Google I/O event, scheduled for 14 May, is drawing closer. This function, primarily aimed at developers to introduce the latest Android OS, also offers an opportunity for Google to reveal a few new tech entries.
The central highlight of this conference is expected to be the Pixel 8a smartphone. Pegged to succeed the Pixel 7a, the Google Pixel 8a is believed to be categorised among mid-range smartphones.
At present, we have almost complete information about Google’s upcoming smartphone, thanks to numerous leaks and rumours related to it. Going by them, the Google Pixel 8a is expected to be unveiled at the forthcoming Google I/O conference.
However, there still is some ambiguity regarding the Pixel 8a’s price. This article provides you an exclusive opportunity to discover this and other details about the much-anticipated smartphone.
A brief update on the rumours
As usual, leaker OnLeaks, was the first to disclose the render of the Google Pixel 8a in a leak from October 2023. This was very recently corroborated by another leak of official phone renders shared by Android Headlines. The Pixel 8a is thus speculated to come in four colours — blue, black, porcelain beige, and mint green.

If its design mirrors that of the Pixel 8, so do its features, according to the rumours. The Pixel 8a is expected to sport the Tensor G3 processor already found in the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, fitted with a 6.1-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The main camera is said to include a 64-megapixel primary sensor and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. Lastly, its battery should have a capacity of 4,500 mAh.

We also obtained the prices of the official Google Pixel 8a cases, which come in these colours: Red, Green, Beige, Black, and Blue. They start at £25.
Pixel 8a’s fast and wireless charging
Some rumours previously suggested a 27W wired charging capacity. However, we think that this isn’t correct.
Indeed, we can confirm that the Google Pixel 8a will support wired charging of up to 18W only, just like its predecessor, the Google Pixel 7a. Additionally, the Pixel 8a will support wireless charging of up to 7.5W, akin to its predecessor.
