Google is looking to reveal its next Pixel 8a smartphone at the upcoming I/O 2024 event. The I/O event will kick off on May 14 and is also expected to provide a glimpse of Android 15.
Google Pixel 8a Expected Specifications
The Pixel 8a smartphone is expected to be available with a 6.1-inch OLED panel with 2400 x 1080 pixels resolution and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The Pixel 7a was the first “a” series smartphone to debut with a higher refresh rate of 90Hz.
In terms of display, the OLED panel of the device will feature a corner radius of 128px and a peak brightness of 1400 nits. The search engine giant is tipped to debut the device with support for DisplayPort output.

Google will continue to equip the smartphone with a dual rear camera setup comprising a 64MP Sony IMX 787 primary camera with a sensor size of 1/1.73-inch, f/1.89 aperture, and a 13MP Sony IMX 712 ultrawide camera.
The device will feature a centred punch-hole cutout that will house the 13MP Sony IMX 712 selfie camera. The Pixel 8a will be powered by the Google Tensor G3 processor with a Titan M2 security chip. The chipset will pair with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage.
