Google Pixel 8a leaks again in new images showing large bezels

09 April 2024
The corners are more rounded compared to its predecessor.

Sort by:

If the actual phone has 120hz, usable cameras (which it will) and has good performance, then I will look into it. BUT, them bezels are larger, now that everyone's saying it

        Oh my God those Bezels are so 2014! Along with the portable heater that the Tensor G3 is who on earth is going to buy this monstrosity. It's DOA in my opinion

        Very bad job Google.

          Anon., 09 Apr 2024Finally its happening, Major manufacturers starting to cut ... moreTotally agree with you. In the "budget" and "mid" segment, things - hardware / software / design - are TERRIBLE 😱, and the prices of the "flagships" long ago took off into space, and are currently traveling to the Moon and Mars ... 😒.

            Those bezels look even larger than the bezels of the Pixel 7a, so either this is entirely fake, just a prototype, or another huge flop phone.

              Awful. Terrible design.

                Those bezels looked much more controlled in the CAD renders. But this? This is like someone who never shaves their pubes 💀

                  Those bezels deserve some clown face emojis

                    Awful. How much did they want for this? 600 bucks?

                      Pixel Xa use to be more compact phone with like 5.8inch screen while still stay small phone in the bezel era. But now it looks like it be the Samsung Galaxy A4x series that basically was great as A40 a compact size and budget price then with A41 it got bigger and then onwards with A42 got even more bigger to the size like the rest of the A series and then it got canceled cause it lost it's point

                        Looks like a 150 euro Redmi.

                                I'm totally okay with large bezels, since phones these days are already way too big so a thin bezel doesn't really make much of a difference

                                What I really care about, is a smaller display. Bigger bezels are fine, but my fingers can't reach every corners of a huge screen so thin bezels are useless in that case

                                  Finally its happening, Major manufacturers starting to cut down the looks of midrangers(bezels) to make them less appealing and sell flagships more
                                  Case in point being Pixel 7 and 7A, Samsung s23 and S23FE/A55

                                  Specs in case of Chinese phones...lower wattage charging/cameras/software support as in oneplus 12R, iqoo 9 pro,Vivo V series

                                  It seems that smartphone space has really plateaued and the manufacturers have started to artificially make their flagships look like the better value :-(

                                    Why does google release such phones? Its neither compact nor big?. Look at so much big bezels?. Are they out of designs?

                                      SShreyas17, 09 Apr 2024With the 3 phone lineup, they'll probably increase the... moreIf choose Google's cameras and software over Samsung's any day. But yes, a price increase will shake things up.

                                        Pumpino, 09 Apr 2024It's just a blatant move to make the 8a cheaper lookin... moreWith the 3 phone lineup, they'll probably increase the price of their flagship as well.

                                        The only reason to buy a Pixel was the (relative) affordability. Otherwise, they can't compete with Apple or Samsung. Their phones lag like crazy, heats like crazy and the software experience is still not as polished as Samsung or Apple, it doesn't have features like DeX and all.

                                        I doubt if they can cover all these shortcomings with AI and camera
