Google surprised users by unveiling the Pixel 8a ahead of Google I/O. Compared to the Pixel 7a, it offers a faster, brighter screen at 120Hz with 2,000 nits and an improved Tensor G3. However, it lacks display quality and camera and water resistance compared to the Pixel 8.
The Pixel 8a brings a significant upgrade in software support, promising 7 years of updates compared to previous iterations that received 3/4 OS updates and 5 years of security patches. This extended support encourages users to stick with their hardware longer.
Despite the launch price of the Pixel 8a, historical trends suggest that its cost may reduce over time, similar to the Pixel 7a which saw markdowns of $100-$150 after launch, giving consumers more affordable options.
