Spring is coming, and with it the launch of the "budget" (the quotation marks are not accidental...) Pixel, i.e. Pixel 8a, is approaching. This year may be much more interesting than its predecessors...
If unofficial reports AndroidAuthority are confirmed, the cheaper Pixel will see a good change in terms of screen. Unless its size (6.1 inches) and resolution (2400x1080 px) do not change significantly, the OLED panel will become closer to what "large" Pixels offer in this area. The display will refresh the image at a frequency of 120 Hz, and its peak brightness will reach 1,400 nits. There will be HDR, and the corner rounding radius will also change - it will resemble the one known from the other "8s". Support for DisplayPort output is also announced. A slightly less surprise will be the heart of the smartphone, which is slightly modified compared to more expensive models - but still has the same Google Tensor G3 processor.

However, there will be no significant improvement in photography. Google Pixel 8a is to receive a 13-megapixel Sony IMX712 selfie camera, and on the back we will see two more cameras from this supplier. The main one will be a 64-megapixel IMX787, and the wide-angle one will be a 13-megapixel IMX712, which is the same matrix as in the front camera - but with different optics. From the information FCC it appears that the smartphone will be available in four colours and its dimensions will be 152x73x9 mm. Previous information about the appearance of Pixel 8a indicates that there are no major surprises in store for us in terms of styling. We don't know the battery capacity yet, but packaging photos have already revealed that Pixel 8a will fill the battery with a power of 27 W. We don't know the exact release date yet, but it is known that the Google I/O spring conference is planned for mid-May. There is also some optimistic news about distribution. Google Pixel 8a is also to be available in many Central and Eastern European countries. The forecast price will be 570 euros.
