Google Pixel 8a leaks reveal new mint color and user manuals

All fans of Google Pixel smartphones join together! Just a day after the “Mint” color variant was leaked, the Pixel 8a, which is again considered to be the mid-range version of the Pixel 8 series, made another appearance – this time in the form of a user manual. Tech whistleblower Evan Blass discovered this particular fact when he was looking at an article on the USCellular device tutorial page.

The listing displays a new front panel layout that proves the Pixel 8a is going to be a slimmer one with no annoying notch. It features a punch-hole display instead of the 7a, which was previously there, to emulate the rounder shape incorporated in the Pixel 6a. But that’s not all! Overall the videos highlight some interesting points.

For example, apps are installed, and you are guided to easy-to-follow instructions. The process of selecting a Bluetooth device and creating a bond has also been simplified. Unusually, the “Enable fingerprint security” guide notes that fingerprint and face unlock options are present, meaning users can choose from more than one security option. An already circulating rumor opened the door to a listing hinting at its launch on a US carrier website. There is every possibility that it may enter the annual Google I/O 2024 event.

This flaw supports rumors that there are color options available in the Pixel 8a. The new addition to the colorways is “Mint” which goes with the traditional obsidian, porcelain and bay colors to cater to the fashion interests of the buyers. The Tensor G3 processor is rumored to be the same as the high-end Pixel series. The camera may also inherit some high-level operation hardware. Because Google I/O is just around the corner, every Pixel devotee will have to be very patient for the official launch.
