We know the Google Pixel 8a is better than the Pixel 7a, but how so? Here are the six biggest upgrades you get with Google's newest Pixel.
The Google Pixel 8a has just launched, and it comes with many upgrades that Pixel fans have been hoping for. These include some attractive new design flourishes, beefed-up hardware, a longer-lasting battery, and a higher-end display. You also get all the software features that make the Pixel series so appealing, including seven years of OS and security updates and Gemini Nano for more AI features.
There’s also everything we loved about the previous models, with excellent camera capabilities, including a 64-megapixel main, 13MP ultrawide, and 13MP front-facing camera. The main sensor comes with Super Res Zoom up to 8x and a variety of camera features like Night Sight, Magic Eraser, Portrait Mode, and more. The only thing you’re really missing is the Pro controls you get on the Pixel 8 Pro.
Feast your eyes on this screen We’re most excited about the improvements to the Pixel 8a screen. It comes with a 6.1-inch 2400-by-1080 OLED panel with a crisp 430 pixels per inch . The resolution is the same as the Pixel 7a, but the Pixel 8a has a 120Hz refresh rate, making it notably smoother and more responsive-feeling than the 90Hz you got with the last generation.
In short, Gemini Nano will allow the Pixel 8a to run certain AI features entirely on-device, allowing for faster AI operations without the need for an internet/data connection. Some examples of AI features it improves are Gboard smart replies and conversation summaries from recordings in the Google Recorder app.
