Following the leaked live images and renders showing UWB Antenna, Google recently applied for approval of four device models with model numbers G8HHN, GKV4X, G6GPR, and G576D to the FCC or the Federal Communications Commission. On the other side, real-life images of the Google Pixel 8a retail box have already surfaced on the internet. The box shows “Model: G6GPR” which is one of the model numbers that has now been approved by the FCC.

If you are thinking about the other three model numbers, Google generally develops different phone models based on hardware requirements in different regions, such as a 5G mmWave antenna. Notably, the paperwork for the approval notes the different model numbers as different versions of the same phone.

The last two generations of affordable Pixel devices were released in May. So, you can expect the Pixel 8a to arrive within the next couple of months.

Having said that, we also have a dimension of the device which is 152.0 x 73.0 x 9.0mm. Compared with last year’s Google Pixel 7a, this is only 0.1mm wider and the rest remains exactly the same.

From the image on the leaked retail box, we can see a familiar camera module design which appears to be just a bit thicker, with slightly more rounded corners compared to the Pixel 7a. This phone is expected to come with an underclocked version of the Tensor G3 chip which previously appeared on Geekbench with scoring 1218 and 3175 for single and multi cores respectively. The phone will offer the same 6.1″ 90Hz display and will be available in four color options.
