Pixel 8a: Full Specifications

Rather than chasing oversized proportions, the Pixel 8a focuses on a manageable format and a polished feature set. It uses a 6.1-inch OLED Actua display with a 1080 x 2400 resolution, a refresh rate up to 120 Hz and brightness that can reach 2000 nits at peak, which helps it stay comfortable to use indoors and out. Google pairs that screen with the Tensor G3 chip, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, giving the phone smooth day-to-day responsiveness and access to several Pixel software features tied to photo editing, calling and on-device intelligence. On the back, the dual-camera system combines a 64 MP main camera with optical and electronic stabilisation and a 13 MP ultrawide, while the 13 MP front camera offers a wide field of view for selfies and video calls. Video recording goes up to 4K at 60 fps on the rear camera. The phone also includes a 4492 mAh battery, fast wired charging, Qi wireless charging, stereo speakers, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC and dual SIM support through nano-SIM plus eSIM. At about 189 g, it remains relatively compact while still offering IP67 dust and water resistance.
