The Pixel 8a has once again made headlines with new high-resolution leaked photos, giving us the best look at Google’s upcoming mid-tier phone in Obsidian (black), Porcelain, Bay (blue), and Mint (green) colors.

Leaked by renowned insider Evan Blass on social media, these images showcase the phone’s sleek design with curved corners, a departure from the boxy look of its predecessor, the Pixel 7a.

While initial reactions to the design were mixed, it’s now clear that the curved edges not only add to the phone’s aesthetics but also make it more comfortable to hold. Despite some noticeable bezels, especially the chunky bottom one, typical of Google’s budget phones, the matte finish on the rear gives it a refined appearance compared to the glossy Pixel 7a.

There is speculation that the Pixel 8a’s price may increase this year, potentially moving away from its budget-friendly identity. It remains uncertain if this model will receive support for seven years like its predecessor, the Pixel 8. Stay tuned for more updates on this intriguing device!
