The Google Pixel 8a surfaced in CAD-based renders quite recently. Well, that very same source, @OnLeaks, has just decided to compare the Pixel 8a design to the Pixel 7a and Pixel 8 offerings.
The Google Pixel 8a design gets compared to what its siblings have to offer
He did that via an image, which you check out below. The Pixel 8a poses side-by-side with the other two phones, and you can clearly see the differences in this image.
The Pixel 8a will seemingly be slightly taller than the Pixel 8, and about the same height as the Pixel 7a. So, we can assume it will include a 6.1-inch display, but feature slightly thicker bezels than the Pixel 8.
Now, in regards to the overall design, the phone does resemble the Pixel 8 more. Its corners are way more rounded than the Pixel 7a’s, as Google opted to tweak the design of the Pixel 8 series. In fact, you can check out that difference the best via the video below.
Since most of you focused on the #Google #Pixel8a roundnesses, here a little #Pixel7a VS #Pixel8a VS #Pixel8 animation. You're welcome #FutureSquad…🫡

The device’s corners are a lot more rounded than the ones on the Pixel 7a
This video comes from @OnLeaks as well, and it shows the transition from the Pixel 7a to Pixel 8a. You can see that the corners have been drastically cut off on the Pixel 8a, and many would say that’s the better option.
That made the Pixel 8 feel entirely different in the hand, and quite frankly the phone is easier to handle. It is also slightly smaller than the Pixel 7a, and considerably smaller than the Pixel 7, so that helped too.
Either way, the Pixel 8a is coming, but it won’t arrive anytime soon. Chances are that we’ll see it in May next year, at Google I/O, unless Google decided to drastically change its release cycle. So, we’re in for quite a wait. These CAD-based renders popped up very early.
