Google is nearing the launch of its Pixel 8 series of flagship smartphones. The Pixel 8 lineup will be announced on 4th October 2023. But apart from just premium models, the company is also expected to launch the more affordable Pixel 8a later on as well. Now, a new leak has revealed the design of the Pixel 8a model, so let’s have a look.
Google Pixel 8a Design
The leak was shared by known tipster Abhishek Yadav, who shared live images of the upcoming device on X (formerly Twitter). Looking at the images, the Pixel 8a can be seen in a bright blue color option. In the tweet, Abhishek stated that the Pixel 8a has the codename Akita and will be powered by the Search Engine giant’s proprietary Tensor G3 SoC. The leaked live images offer us a glimpse of the device from the side, front, and back.
We can see a center-aligned punch hole cutout for the selfie camera on the front with noticeable bezels surrounding the display. Notably, the Google Pixel 8a also features curved edges. This makes its design more in line with the other models from the Pixel 8 series. The right side houses the power button and volume rockers. Similar to the previous generation devices, the Pixel 8a retains the visor camera module design as the Pixel 6a and Pixel 7a models.
Keep in mind that this is an unconfirmed leak so take these live images with a pinch of salt. Since the Pixel 8a launch is still a while away, it is likely that the device spotted on X is a prototype version. The Pixel 7a launched back in May 2023, so the Pixel 8a might have a similar launch window.
