If there was any doubt that the Google Pixel 8a will be released soon, a new leaked video has made it clear that it’s a matter of days or weeks before Google decides to officially unveil it.
Shared on Twitter by leaker @MysteryLupin, the video shows the complete back of the Pixel 8a in green and blue tones (rumored to be called Mint and Bay respectively).
The design matches previous leaks, showing a dual-lens camera in the now iconic Google camera bar, a colorful back panel, and an overall design similar to the Pixel 8.
What specifications does the Pixel 8a have and when will it be released
The phone also briefly rotates towards the front, but unfortunately it has a cover, so we cannot see how the screen will be or how much bezel we will have in this model.
What we do see is the box, which contains a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-A to USB-C adapter, and a tool to remove the SIM card. Finally, the text in the video indicates that the phone has 128 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM, although there may be other configurations and, in fact, we have already heard that there could be a 256 GB Pixel 8a.
That’s all we can say about the phone, and although we would take this video with a grain of salt, it certainly looks like the real Pixel 8a.
The fact that a video of what appear to be retail units of the Pixel 8a has been leaked also suggests that the phone will be released very soon, which aligns with what we have heard.
Our best guess, based on leaks and the past, is that it will be unveiled during Google I/O 2024, which starts on May 14th, so there may only be a few weeks left to wait.
