Google Pixel 8a revealed in four colours with striking new green option

Plenty has been said about the Pixel 8a in the last few weeks. Most recently, Google itself appeared to reveal the handset in a Google Fi Wireless advert. Subsequently, new hands-on photos of the same device surfaced online, details of which we have covered separately. Now, Android Headlines has shared official-looking Pixel 8a render images, including a previously unseen green option dubbed 'Mint'.

If the images below are accurate, then it would suggest that Google is planning to offer its next mid-range smartphone in more vibrant colour options than its recent Pixel and Pixel A series generations. Additionally, the images that Android Headlines has provided reinforce that the Pixel 8a has comparatively thick display bezels, which leaked hands-on images also showed.

With that being said, it would be difficult to tell the Pixel 8a from the more expensive Pixel 8 (curr. $670 on Amazon) otherwise, given the volume of design similarities that exist between them. Reportedly, the Pixel 8a will start on May 14 for €569.90 in the Eurozone with 128 GB of storage, a 4,500 mAh battery that can recharge at 27 W and a 120 Hz OLED display. Alternatively, Google is expected to sell a 256 GB variant for €629.90; all SKUs will ship with a Tensor G3 chipset though, as well as 64 MP primary and 13 MP ultra-wide-angle cameras.
