Leaks suggest the phone will have a toned-down Tensor G3
It’s been less than a week since the Pixel 8 series was revealed at the time of this writing, and already we’re getting leaks of the upcoming mid-range model: the Pixel 8a.
In collaboration with industry insider OnLeaks, tech news site SmartPrix recently shared multiple renders of the future smartphone’s potential design. On the surface, the device looks like a cross between the standard Pixel 8 and the Pixel 7a as it has characteristics of both. The Pixel 8a will have the same rounded corners as the other models in the lineup, stepping away from “the boxy shape of its predecessor.” It will, however, be a bit bigger than the mainline model as its dimensions clock in at 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9mm.
But despite the extra bulk, the screen won’t be bigger. In fact, it’s the opposite. The report reveals thicker bezels around the corners, effectively shrinking the display down to 6.1-inches. By comparison, the Pixel 8 has a 6.2-inch screen. Design flourishes
Other notable design features include the rear camera module which will keep the visored look the series is known for.
