Google’s Pixel 8a is expected to launch later this year, but it look like that hasn’t stopped the Mountain View, California company from “accidentally” leaking the handset in a recent Google Fi ad.
According to 9to5Google, the Pixel 8a was spotted by a YouTube user and first shared by GSMArena. The ad shows the handset in blue and an off-white colour. As you can tell from the video above, the phone in the ad is very clearly the Pixel 8a.
The entry-level handset comes in a blue colour, similar to the Pixel 8 Pro, but it lacks the third camera of the Pro variant. It also doesn’t feature a microphone near its rear camera.
We’re expected to see the Pixel 8a at Google I/O next month. The Pixel 8a sports a 6.1-inch display, 120Hz refresh rate, 64-megapixel primary shooter, Tensor G3 and more. Google Fi Wireless — which isn’t available in Canada — is the tech giant’s U.S.-based MVNO that provides telephone calls, mobile broadband using cellular networks and Wi-Fi.
