Google Pixel 8a: New colors leaked, but is it the Pixel A swan song?

Buckle up, 8A is coming straight at you in all its colorful glory! Leaked press renders show the phone in four colorways: the collection will be offered in Obsidian (or black purse), Mint (or green dress), Porcelain (or light beige skirt), and Bay (or blue top). Thanks to these photos, the issue is more than revived – a flat display with a centered punch-hole selfie camera and a familiar rear camera bar like the Pixel 7 smartphone.

Although the Pixel 8a may be the last model of its kind, that doesn’t mean Google won’t release new models based on the Pixel smartphone line. Many people still say that Google takes their head off. Given the Pixel 9 trilogy and the leaked announcement of a foldable phone for this year, the hypothesis that there could be a Pixel 9a next spring is a bit unlikely. Developers may also point to the design of the Pixel 9a to see if it offers any significant differences.

Is it possible that we have the final say on the favorite model of the Pixel series, known as the A-series? Only Google knows the reason for such unapologetic color vibrancy – a secret goodbye party with the Pixel 8a as a messenger.
