The  recently leaked full promo material has increased the hype for the Google Pixel 8a. This is because, the smartphone will be eligible for seven years of OS update putting it on par with premium Pixel 8 duo. It will come with AI camera features including Best Take, Audio Magic Eraser, and Night Sight as well as other features like Live Translate and Circle to Search. The upcoming offering is confirmed to be IP67 rated, have VPN by Google One, and other features. 

Now, all these features and significant upgrades compared to the Pixel 7a suggest that the Pixel 8a will also get a price hike. It was reported previously that the upcoming offering will be 18 percent expensive than its predecessor. However, that won’t be the case. As per Onleaks, Google will retain the pricing of the Pixel 8a with the base 128GB variant costing $499 and the 256GB option carrying a price tag of $559. This means that it will cost the same as the Pixel 7a. It’s worth noting that this pricing is for the US market and it may vary depending on the region. 

Regardless, if the latest pricing leak of the Pixel 8a indeed turns out to be true, then Pixel fans are in for a treat. Considering the AI features loaded on the device as well as core upgrades across display, processor, and battery. Additionally, the Pixel 8a is also seen in Mint, Blue, and Black color options in the latest leak.
