Google Pixel 8a ads leak, appear to confirm seven years of updates
  • A set of leaked ads for the Google Pixel 8a show various features of the unannounced smartphone.
  • A major bit of info here is that the Pixel 8a could get the same seven-year update commitment the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro get.
  • Most of the other features here are either expected or came with the Pixel 7a.

The Google Pixel 8a is not launching for another few weeks, but, as is tradition, we’re already learning everything there is to know about it. Today, Android Headlines leaked a set of advertisements that give a way a lot of the Pixel 8a’s secrets.

The most notable piece of new info here is solid evidence that the Pixel 8a could get seven years of software support. This would put the phone at the same level as the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro in terms of longevity. Given how much cheaper we expect the Pixel 8a to be than the Pixel 8 series, this could end up being a great, low-cost investment for folks looking for a phone that will stand the test of time.
