The Google Pixel 8A may get a brighter, 120Hz display


The Pixel 8A is more like Google’s non-pro phone than ever.

By Wes Davis, a weekend editor who covers the latest in tech and entertainment. Writing for Android Authority, Wojciechowska says this next entry in the line of budget Pixel phones will feature 1,400 nits of peak brightness, up from the 7A’s 1,000 nits, and limited support for DisplayPort output via USB-C. Those may both be improvements over its predecessor, but if this leak is accurate, it won’t follow the 7A’s lead with a better camera system than the Pixel 8, as it says Google is carrying over last year’s cameras to the 8A, instead. Wojciechowska says the Tensor G3 in the new 8A will be slightly thicker and hotter than the G3 that drives the Pixel 8, so the big question is how many AI features will be open to owners of the cheaper phone.
