The Pixel 8a is basically a certainty at this point given all of the leaks, but there are still more things to be seen thanks to these newly leaked high-res renders. Google is suspected to unveil these phones at the upcoming Google I/O conference happening in May. With the phones to receive an official reveal next month, it won’t be long before there will be even better-looking images of this device, or before consumers will be able to hold their very own Pixel 8a.
This isn’t the first time the Pixel 8a has leaked. In fact, it’s leaked in just about every capacity at this point. There are still some unknowns, like official pricing, specs, or availability dates. But the handset has been leaked in both images and even a hands-on video. Recently we might add.
It’s also worth noting that these high-res renders from today, posted by Evan Blass on X, are more or less the same as the ones we exclusively reported on back on April 19.
New Pixel 8a high-res renders confirm colors
Since these aren’t much different from the leaked images that we reported on last week, there’s not much new detail to be discovered from them. However, they do serve to further solidify the color availability. The Pixel 8a looks to be coming in Porcelain, Mint, Bay, and Obsidian.
Again this isn’t really new information. It does make those earlier leaks more credible though. And if nothing else, it gives you a good look at the devices. The images shown here represent the device from the front, back, and sides, though not all angles. Still, it never hurts to have another look at an exciting device that’s on the way.
Almost indistinguishable from the original Pixel 8
Google’s A series of Pixel phones has always been more or less cookie-cutter replicas of the standard model of whatever version they were being made from. In this case, the Pixel 8. That obviously isn’t changing. And that’s probably a good thing since the standard Pixel 8 looks great.
Although it hasn’t been confirmed that Google will reveal the Pixel 8a at Google I/O, this is the most likely time for it to be revealed. Also worth noting is that Google will probably end up releasing the phone sometime within the same month. Google I/O happens on May 14 and May 15. So expect pre-orders to be available either the same day or soon after.
