Google’s Pixel 8a to see price increase and come in four colors
Google’s upcoming Pixel 8a is now rumored to see a price increase that would put the cost of it over last year’s Pixel 7a. The phone is also said to come in four different colorways, giving users a wide variety of choices for the model that suits them best.
Google’s Pixel ‘A ‘ series phones have always been about giving consumers a less expensive option in the Pixel lineup. Something that offered all the best parts of the flagship Pixel phones but, without the flagship price. That is still going to remain true. However, the upfront cost won’t be as low as it used to be if the latest rumor is accurate.
According to WinFuture’s Roland Quandt, the Pixel 8a could cost more than €550. An exact price isn’t rumored. But it seems like it’s going to be more than an increase of €50. For comparison, last year’s Pixel 7a had a starting price of €499. In addition to pricing, Quandt says that according to retailer sources, the Pixel 8a will be offered in four different colorways at launch. This includes Obsidian, Porcelain, Bay, and Mint. This means that, if accurate, Google’s Pixel 8a could skip the Hazel and Rose colorways that the Pixel 8 is available in. The interesting part about this is that past leaked CAD renders of the phone show the Pixel 8a in Rose.
The Pixel 8a price will increase to €569.90
It’s worth keeping in mind that these are European prices. And since these aren’t coming straight from Google, it’s always possible that these prices will change. That being said, the rumor states that Google is going to start selling the Pixel 8a for €569.90. This will be for the 128GB model of the phone. For consumers who want more storage than 128GB, the phone will also come in a 256GB model for a slightly higher €630.
Now these aren’t massively inflated prices. But it might be enough to sway some consumers towards the Pixel 8 instead of the ‘A’ model. Especially with the sale pricing you can often find them at. Another detail that Quandt points out is that Google may not be offering all four colors in each storage variant. For example, the retailer that this information comes from lists the 256GB model of the Pixel 8a in Obsidian only.
Marching toward release
An exact release date isn’t mentioned but the phone is suspected to drop sometime within the next couple of months. For comparison, the Pixel 7a launched on May 10 last year. Google may keep the same time frame for release with the Pixel 8a. It’s entirely possible of course that the launch could be earlier or later too.
Whatever the case, it does seem like the phone is more or less ready to go. With pricing and packaging being leaked by retailers.
