A Vietnamese person named Hung Nvshared the Pixel 8a retail box’s photos on a private Facebook group. We get to see the phone’s moniker, the Pixel 8a design and the wired charging speed supported by the phone.

The Pixel 8a sports a design resembling the Pixel 8 series. That means a visor-like camera strip on the back of the phone and slightly curvy edges. There seem to be two camera lenses here and a flashlight module. The volume rockers and power buttons also appear on the right-hand side.
The back side of the retail box reveals the phone will be getting 27W wired charging speed.
Although the one in this leak is grey, there will be other colour options. In some leaked renders, we have seen a cream/peachy colour. A blue colour is also in rumours.
The dimensions of the device are said to be 152.1 x 72.6 x 8.9 mm.
On the box, we also see the model number G6GP. In a previous Geekbench leak, we also learned the phone’s internal codename could be Akita.

· Google Pixel 8a design details

As per the renders leaked by OnLeaks (via Smartprix), the Pixel 8a resembles the Pixel 8and 8 Pro because of its rear visor. This appears to house two cameras. Even the LED flash module is positioned similarly to those premium models.
What’s distinctly notable and also something previously tippedand rumoured, is the rounded edges of the device like some earlier iPhones.
The visor is separate from the side frame. The sides also have a power button, volume rocker, SIM tray, and cellular antenna markings.

Display: The new Google Pixel 8a leak claims the device’s screen size is around 6.1 inches. That’d be smaller than the Pixel 8’s 6.2-inch panel. The bezels are more noticeable, especially the chin, compared to say the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. There’s a hole punch cutout for the front camera.
