With less than two months to go until Google I/O 2024, the Pixel 8a doesn't have any more secrets after the big specs leak this week. Maybe the price is the only real mystery remaining. But we've had Pixel 8a reports claiming Google will increase the cost again. Last year's Pixel 7a was also more expensive.
Even without those price leaks, the Pixel 8a specs leak implies a price hike is not just to be expected but warranted. The Pixel 8a is going to be a cheaper Pixel 8 variant. The main camera hardware is the biggest differentiator between them, according to the leak. Its predecessor costs $499 before discounts, while the Pixel 8 starts at $699. The Pixel 8a will probably sit between them.
With Samsung's decision to keep the Galaxy A55 away from the US market, the Pixel 8a has a real chance of making a difference for Google. Add to that the supposedly massive expansion in Europe, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Pixel 8a became a best-selling handset.
All of that makes me think that Apple's iPhone SE 4, that's supposedly coming next year needs to beat the Pixel 8a. That's it, that's the job.
