For those terribly disappointed by rumors of the changes that the Pixel 9 series will be making to a distinctive design, the Google Pixel 8a will offer a refuge. It still bears the same aesthetics of its namesake, namely a rounder and gentler appearance coupled with the "visor" camera design that Google's phones have been using for three generations now.
For one, there are clues showing a matte surface for the phone's rear rather than the traditional glass. This not only improves the grip of the device but also a bit of visual embellishment.
Perhaps a bit more interesting is the information provided by Evan Blass, a.k.a. evleaks, about the sustainability story of the Pixel 8a. There's mention of the use of recycled materials, which could refer to either the back panel, the aluminum frame, or both.
