The Google Pixel 8a is all over the internet, creating a buzz ahead of its launch. Google has not disclosed any details about the smartphone, but the leaks and rumours are not stopping. If you are planning to buy a mid-range smartphone, you have plenty of options even right now. But, I would suggest you wait for the Google Pixel 8a as the rumours are claiming big upgrades this year. Here are three interesting Pixel 8a details that we gathered from the internet.
Google Pixel 8a likely to boast Tensor G3
The Google Pixel 8a is rumoured to feature a slightly underclocked version of the Tensor G3 chipset paired with Mali-G715 GPU. However, Google’s proprietary chipset might not outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in raw performance. Additionally, the Pixel 8a is expected to retain the same 6.1-inch AMOLED display as its predecessor, but rumours suggest that Google will upgrade the refresh rate from 90Hz to 120Hz. Reports also indicate that the device will offer 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with speculation hinting that the Pixel 8a could be Google’s first budget phone to offer up to 256GB of storage.
