Google executive’s big blunder ruined plans
A Google engineer accidentally spilled the beans about the Pixel 8a during a chat with users about phone bugs and battery issues. They mentioned that a missing feature would be back with the Pixel 8a and future models, giving away the fact that Google is working on it.
People had noticed this missing feature in recent updates for Pixel phones and were wondering why it disappeared. Turns out, Google removed it on purpose and now plans to bring it back with the Pixel 8a and maybe even to all Android phones later this year.
Rumors are flying around that we might see the Pixel 8a launch around May, possibly during Google’s big event called Google I/O. And it seems like the price might be a bit higher compared to the previous model.
