From CNET: Google's Pixel 8A will have a lot in common with its more expensive sibling, if a recent leak turns out to be accurate. The search giant's next budget phone is expected to run on the company's Tensor G3 processor, similar to the Pixel 8. It may also have a higher 120Hz refresh rate, according to Android Authority, further bridging the gap between Google's flagship and lower-tier phone.
If the report turns out to be correct, it would continue the approach Google took with last year's Pixel 7A. As I wrote when reviewing the phone last year, the Pixel 7A essentially felt like a version of the Pixel 7 that was $100 cheaper.
A Google representative did not immediately respond to CNET's request for comment regarding the leak.
Other potential similarities between the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8A could include design and screen brightness. The report says the 8A will get a boost to 1,400 nits to match the Pixel 8. It sounds like the biggest difference between the two devices would be the Pixel 8A's camera, which is expected to have a 64-megapixel main camera, 13-megapixel ultrawide camera and 13-megapixel selfie camera just like the Pixel 7A, reports Android Authority. The Pixel 8, by comparison has a 50-megapixel main shooter along with a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 10.5-megapixel selfie camera.
