Calling all Pixel enthusiasts! Google may have unintentionally revealed some exciting details about the upcoming Pixel 8a in a recent update. While addressing an Android 14 update, Google seemingly confirmed the existence of the Pixel 8a and a brand new software feature focused on battery health. Let's delve deeper into this unexpected leak and explore what it signifies for the future of Pixel devices. Unveiling the Pixel 8a: A Sneak Peek via Battery Health Feature The story unfolds with the Android 14 QPR1 update, which briefly introduced a new "Battery information" section in the Pixel settings. This section offered valuable insights like battery charging cycles and manufacturing date. However, the feature vanished in the subsequent March update, sparking confusion among Pixel users. Intriguingly, Google's response to user reports on the issue wasn't what everyone expected. Instead of acknowledging a bug, Google clarified on a bug tracking platform that the feature's disappearance was intentional. Here's the key takeaway: The new battery health feature is exclusive to the Pixel 8a and future Pixel models. This unintentional reveal not only confirms the Pixel 8a's existence but also sheds light on a significant software addition focused on battery health.

A Potential Price Hike for the Pixel 8a? Another recent leak (via Tom's Guide) hints at a possible price increase for the Pixel 8a. Here's the breakdown: A retailer reportedly communicated with Winfuture, suggesting a potential price rise for the Pixel 8a. The 128GB variant might see a jump from 509 euros to 569 euros. The 256GB version could potentially be priced at 630 euros. It's important to note that this price increase is not officially confirmed by Google. We'll have to wait for the official announcement to know for sure. Frequently Asked Questions Q: When is the Pixel 8a expected to launch?
