Leaked promotional materials hint at the Google Pixel 8a receiving seven years of security updates, though specifics regarding Android OS update support remain unspecified. Anticipated to debut next month at Google’s annual Google I/O conference starting May 14, details of the purported Pixel 8a have surfaced online multiple times over the past months. With its expected unveiling drawing closer, a leaked promotional video showcasing the handset’s AI capabilities has emerged, alongside other Pixel-exclusive features and software support information.
Renowned tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (X: @OnLeaks) collaborated with MySmartPrice to leak a promo video for the Pixel 8a, revealing several Pixel-exclusive features anticipated on the upcoming smartphone. The video showcases Google’s Best Take feature, facilitating the swapping of faces in group photos or burst photos to replace closed eyes or unwanted expressions.
Additionally, the leaked video suggests the inclusion of Circle to Search—a feature currently available on select Pixel and Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Furthermore, it indicates that the Pixel 8a will boast Google’s Audio Magic Eraser feature, designed to eliminate unwanted background sounds from recorded videos using artificial intelligence (AI). Live translation for voice calls is also purportedly supported on the Pixel 8a.
Images leaked by Android Headlines further affirm the inclusion of Best Take and Audio Magic Eraser features on the Pixel 8a. Additionally, the handset is expected to feature Call Assist, Circle to Search support, and Google VPN support—despite the company’s plan to discontinue this feature on June 10. The leaked teasers also mention the inclusion of a Tensor G3 chip and promise “seven years of security updates.” However, it remains uncertain whether the Pixel 8a will receive the same number of Android OS upgrades as the more premium models in the Pixel 8 series equipped with the same processor.
More details regarding the handset are anticipated to be revealed in the days leading up to its expected debut on May 14.
