Last year also, Google bumped the price of the Pixel 7a in comparison to the Pixel 6a. However, there were significant improvements with the new generation of smartphones. Continuing this trend, the Google Pixel 8a is expected to get upgrades in terms of chipset and AI features.

According to a Tom's Guide report, the Pixel 8a is expected to come with a 6.1-inch OLED display with up to 90Hz refresh rate. The smartphone will likely be powered by Google's in-house Tensor G3 chipset. The device may also support already-existing AI features such as the Magic Editor. The information about this device is very limited and is based on unofficial reports, therefore, we may have to wait for the official launch to know what Google has planned for the new Pixel 8a.
