A price freeze?
There’s a good chance the Google Pixel 8 will be unveiled at Google I/O 2024 on May 14, so it’s perhaps no surprise the pace of the associated leaks is picking up – and the latest major leak we’ve seen covers Pixel 8a promo images and pricing.
This is via the usually reliable @OnLeaks and Smartprix, and to start with the pricing, it looks as though worries about a price hike may have been unfounded: the Pixel 8a pricing is said to be $499 ( with 128GB of storage), and $559 (with 256GB) in the US.
That’s exactly what the Google Pixel 7a cost when it went on sale in May 2023, though only a 128GB version of that phone is available. We’re assuming Google will keep the same pricing as last year internationally as well (though there’s always the possibility of variations between regions), which was £449 and AU$749 for the 128GB Pixel 7a.
