Google Pixel 8A Leak Reveals 7 Years Of Security Patches And AI Features
According to a leak by Android Headlines, the Google Pixel 8A will launch with seven years of security update support. However, unlike the Google Pixel 8 and the Google Pixel 8 Pro, the phone will receive seven years of security patches, not OS updates.
This means the company could have a different update policy for the Google Pixel 8A, which some rumours suggest could be four years. Furthermore, the report also reveals the Pixel 8A will get plenty of AI features, including Audio Magic Eraser, Night Sight and Best Take.
These features are already available on the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, so you can expect them to function similarly on the budget phone. In addition, the Google Pixel 8A promo reveals it will offer call screening with Call Assist, a summary of emails, and Circle To Search.
Moreover, the Pixel 8A will run on the Tensor G3 chipset, like the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro. The promo claims the phone will offer fast charging with fast charging and a reliable all-day battery, likely to be 30W.
Expected Pricing And Availability
The leaked teaser also promotes the IP67 rating and Google One VPN, which will shut down on June 10, 2024. According to the report, the Google Pixel 8A will go on sale on May 16, a few days after the Google I/O event.
The phone will be available in four colours: Obsidian, Porcelain, Mint and Bay. Furthermore, Google will offer silicone cases for the Pixel 8A in the same colours.
The leaks reveal that the Google Pixel 8A could cost 510 Canadian dollars (around Rs.31,000), similar to the Google Pixel 7A. However, we can expect it to debut around Rs.40,000 to Rs.45,000 in India.
