Firstly, let’s talk about pricing. According to Steve Hemmerstoffer and Smartprix, the Pixel 8a will share the same U.S. pricing as its predecessor. The Pixel 8a is rumoured to cost $499 USD (roughly $687.15 CAD) for the 128GB storage variant and $559 (about $769 CAD) for the 256GB storage variant. This contradicts previous reports indicating that the smartphone would cost more than its predecessors.
The Pixel 8a marketing materials also leaked in full recently. On X (Twitter), blogger and phone leaker Evan Blass showcased marketing images that revealed features regarding the upcoming mid-ranger.
