Google Pixel 8a: New Color Option and Pricing Details
The rumored Google Pixel 8a is expected to appear on May 14 at the company's yearly Google I/O conference. With the anticipated release date drawing near, additional details regarding the Pixel 7a's replacement have emerged on the internet. Remarkably, a fifth color choice for the incoming Pixel phone's covers has been revealed in additional renderings that a tipster has supplied. Conversely, it is thought that the smartphone will only come in four colorways. It's also mentioned in another rumor that there might not be a price increase for the phone in the US this year.
New Color Option Revealed: Coral Pink
Tipster @MysteryLupin, who also revealed the earlier renders showing the phone in four colors—black, beige, blue, and green—provided the information of the color options. He shared more renders on X, the former name of Twitter, on Tuesday. In them, the phone's cases are visible. However, there's a twist this time.
A fifth coral pink colorway exists as well; this colorway was left out of the earlier drawings. Although this is a surprising development, it's possible that Google will take a cue from Apple and introduce a coral-colored Pixel 8a when the phone hits its mid-cycle later this year.
Speculations on Pricing
Moving on to the cost. According to a recent report by Smartprix, there won't be any price increases for the Google Pixel 8a in the US. The smartphone will retail for $499 (about Rs. 41,600) for the 128GB internal storage model and $599 (approximately Rs. 50,000) for the 256GB option. Given that the new Pixel phone is anticipated to include significant changes while maintaining the same price, this might end up being a wonderful value for US consumers.
Using data from the previous year, the same research also estimated that the smartphone's India price would begin at Rs. 44,999. The Pixel 7a was sold last year for a little more than the real currency conversion. Usually, this is done to make up for the higher fees and taxes in the nation.
Anticipated Features:
Google Tensor G3 chipset
Seven years of security updates
New AI features from the Pixel 8 series
