In the latest development, the upcoming Pixel 8a's price has been tipped online, suggesting it could cost pricier than its predecessor Pixel 7a. As reported by PassionateGeekz, the Pixel 8a has been spotted listed by a retailer in Canada with a price tag of CAD 708.99 (roughly Rs 42,830) for the 128GB storage configuration, and CAD 792.99 (roughly Rs 47,900) for the 256GB variant. However, the name of the Canadian retailer that listed both variants of the Pixel 8a has not been revealed. Other reports suggest that the Pixel 8a could cost between Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,000 more than its predecessor in India. To recall, the Pixel 7a was launched in May 2023, priced at Rs 43,999 for the sole 8GB+128GB RAM and storage configuration.

Meanwhile, the design and colour options have also been leaked, showcasing a hole-punch display and rounded corners. The handset is said to come in black, which could be a rumoured Obsidian variant. The screen can also be seen with noticeable bezels at the bottom.

It has also been leaked that the Pixel 8a can have a matte plastic finish, unlike the Pixel 7a's glossy finish. It could sport the same Pixel camera visor on the rear, housing two sensors and a circular LED flash. The back panel will also have a Google logo.

Google launched the Pixel 7a last year in May 2023. The brand is expected to follow a similar launch schedule for the upcoming Pixel 8a at its annual developer conference. This year's Google I/O is slated to start on May 14, 2024.

Previously, the Pixel 8a was tipped to feature a 6.1-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It was also said to run on Google's Tensor G3 SoC alongside 8GB of RAM. It will reportedly be backed by a 5,000mAh battery supporting 27W wired fast charging. It could measure 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9mm.
