Google has introduced<\/a> the Pixel 8a a week ahead of I\/O, bringing some of the 8 series’ high-end features to a mid-range Android phone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The repeatedly leaked<\/a> Pixel 8a brings a rounded, IP67 water- and dust-resistant design that’s more durable than the 7a. More importantly, there’s a new Actua-branded 6.1-inch OLED display that offers both a smoother 120Hz refresh rate (up from 90Hz) and a 40% brighter picture.<\/p>\n

The 8a also uses the Tensor G3 chip from the Pixel 8 line, and can handle both Google’s Gemini<\/a> model as well as Circle to Search, Best Take portraits, and Magic Editor image manipulation. The G3 also offers extra security.<\/p>\n

Crucially, Google is promising the same seven years of OS and security updates as for higher-end Pixels. The device should stay up to date for its entire practical lifespan, in other words.<\/p>\n
