Fun colors and a fresh design

The improved design of the A series feels even better in the hand with rounded edges, a matte back and a polished aluminum frame. The robust design can withstand spills, dust and minor accidents, making the Pixel 8a the most durable phone in the A series yet. In addition, the new Actua screen is 40 percent brighter than on the Pixel 7a, and a faster refresh rate of 120 Hz makes scrolling comfortable.

There are two new colors in the A series: Aloe (limited edition only) and Bay. You can also choose between the neutral colors Obsidian or Porcelain. For the first time, a larger storage capacity of 256 GB is also offered, giving you more space for your favorite content.

Outstanding photography, made simple

Voted the best camera mobile in its category, Pixel 8a is equipped with a powerful dual camera on the back with a main lens of 64 megapixels and an ultra-wide-angle lens of 13 megapixels. It also has a 13-megapixel front camera with a wide field of view, so you can capture more in every shot.

Thanks to Google Tensor G3, the Pixel 8a is packed with AI-powered tools to get the most out of your photos and videos:

  • Best Take enabling you to put together the perfect group photo. You choose which expression you think best suits everyone in a series of photos.

  • Magic Editor makes it possible with just a few taps to adjust the position and size of objects in the image, or use presets to make the background stand out.

  • Audio Magic Eraser easily removes distracting sounds in your videos — such as wind, crowds and other noise sources — for clear, crisp sound.

Pixel 8a also has Super Res Zoom up to 8x and features like Magic Eraser, Night Sight and Photo Unblur. Like all Pixel phones, the Pixel 8a features Real Tone, which accurately reproduces everyone’s skin tone in photos and now also in videos.

Google’s AI makes it even easier to get things done

Pixel 8a is designed to help you cross off more tasks on your to-do list. With solutions designed to save you time, you can spend more time on what matters most to you.

Circle to Search is also available on the Pixel 8a, so you no longer have to switch apps to find the information you’re looking for. Use your finger to circle, scribble, or tap an image, text, or video to search for what you’re watching.

Do you want to plan a trip? Maps helps you discover hidden gems and create the perfect itinerary. Immerse yourself in your future destination with the amazing Immersive View – explore the place virtually before you even arrive. And when you’re there, Lens is your window to the world. Snap a photo of a historic landmark to uncover its secrets, or translate a restaurant menu in a flash.

The Pixel’s “At a Glance” widget keeps you updated by placing important information directly on your lock screen. See upcoming events, weather, travel updates and time-sensitive reminders without even unlocking your phone.

Pixel 8a also comes with “Audio Emoji”, which will make your phone calls more expressive and engaging than before. With “Audio Emoji”, you only need to tap an emoji to trigger an audio reaction and visual effect. Try using the clap emoji to applaud a job well done, or the laugh emoji after telling a good joke.

Top class security

Safety and security are always the highest priority. Like the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro, this phone is built with the latest Google Tensor G3 chip, Google’s fastest and most secure chip yet. It works together with the certified Titan M2 security chip and built-in VPN for extra protection, making it even more resistant to threats.

The Pixel 8a will also get seven years of software support, including security updates and Android upgrades. In addition, you will benefit from all the new functions and improvements that are coming on an ongoing basis.

The Pixel 8a and more Pixel products are available starting today

The Pixel 8a starts at NOK 6,690, and pre-orders begin today.

Starting today, you can also pre-order the Pixel Tablet without a charging dock and speaker for NOK 5,790. The Pixel Tablet continues to offer more help both in the hand and at home with additional features such as Circle to Search, which will launch later this month.

Both Pixel 8a and Pixel Tablet will be available in the Google Store and at our Norwegian retailers from 14 May.
