Pixel 8a Unveiled: Even though the possible release date of Google’s mid-range phone in 2024 is still a few months away, leaks and theories have given us a good idea of what to expect. There are also some real-life pictures of the phone and its packing, as well as high-resolution models that show how the Pixel 8a has been redesigned in a big way.
With that out of the way, here is what we know about the Google Pixel 8a right now.
After the March 2024 update, Pixel devices no longer had the extra battery data that the company had added before, which included the number of charging cycles and the date that the battery was made.
An issue tracker page from Google said that the company thought the Pixel 8a and later Pixel products would have the battery data tool. It says, “We only enable this page on Pixel 8a and beyond, so this is WAI (Working as Intended).”
Pixel 8a Unveiled: When the Google Pixel 8a will be available?
There are rumors that the Google Pixel 8a could be shown off at Google I/O 2024. The claim suggests that Google I/O 2024 might happen in May of this year. Tech fans have been left to guess before Google made any official announcements.

How much does the Google Pixel 8a cost?
The Pixel A-series main goal is to offer an affordable alternative to the Pixel flagship, which this year includes the £699 Google Pixel 8 and the £999 Pixel 8 Pro.
The price of Google’s mid-range Pixel option has been around £400 to £500 in the past. You can get the Pixel 7a, on the other hand, for a relatively low £449. That being said, this is £50 more expensive than the Google Pixel 6a.

Can we expect a similar rise with the Google Pixel 8a? The Pixel 8a may move up to a more expensive market, which would leave out customers who would benefit from its cheap tools and high-tech features.
Indeed, information from a German store suggests that the Pixel 8a may cost €570 more in that country than its predecessor, the Pixel 7a, which cost €509. This could also cause prices to go up in the US and UK, maybe around the £500/$550 mark, but for now, only time will tell.
