Google Bids Adieu to Pixel 6a Ahead of Pixel 8a Launch: Google's gearing up for the release of its Pixel 8a, expected to debut during the I/O 2024 event on May 14. But here's a twist: before the arrival of this new mid-range marvel, Google has decided to pull the plug on its previous A-series smartphone, the Pixel 6a.
Reports from Droid Life suggest that Google has quietly removed the Pixel 6a from its official store. Now, if you try to find the Pixel 6a page, you'll end up redirected to the Pixel 7a. This move signals Google's choice to discontinue the Pixel 6a, making the Pixel 7a the sole 'A' series phone available from Google, at least until the Pixel 8a hits the shelves in May.
What to Expect from Pixel 8a:
Recent leaks shed light on what we might see in the upcoming Pixel 8a. It's rumored to sport a 6.1-inch Full HD+ OLED display with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels. The screen could also boast a speedy 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1400 nits.
Under the hood, the Pixel 8a could pack Google's latest Tensor G3 processor, akin to what's found in the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. However, there's a slight difference: the G3 chip in the Pixel 8a might come in a different package called IPoP (Integrated Package on Package), unlike the FOPLP (Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging) seen in its older siblings. The Pixel 8a might offer up to 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and storage options of up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1.
