When Will the Pixel 8a Be Released?
Google’s planning to release a new mid-range Pixel 8a. If you’re interested in buying a new mid-range Pixel, allow us to help set your expectations regarding its release.
Pixel 8a rumors have been swirling for months and they’ve outlined the device’s features. They’ve also revealed a potential release date.
We also have a good idea about when the Pixel 8a announcement will take place.
If we use Google’s previous Pixel a launches as a guide, we can pinpoint the release window for the Pixel 8a. There’s a pretty clear pattern.
Here’s when Google launched the last two Pixel a smartphones:
Both the Pixel 7a and Pixel 6a were announced at Google I/O, Google’s annual developer conference.
Unless Google deviates from its usual protocol, you can expect a Pixel 8a announcement at Google I/O 2024. The conference is set to kickoff with a keynote on May 14th.
According to a leak from Android Headlines, the Pixel 8a will go on sale on May 16th, or a couple of days after the announcement.
This date comes from the promotional materials leaked by the blog so there’s a very good chance it winds up being the device’s street date.
We’ll find out for sure in a few weeks.
