Although a final decision in one direction or the other is unlikely to have been made yet, the latest signs are certainly promising, suggesting that someone, somewhere is in possession of an early working Pixel 8a prototype.
The SoC under the Pixel 8a’s hood, meanwhile, seems to come with four 1.7 GHz CPU cores, another four clocked at 2.37 GHz, and the last one at “just” 2.91 GHz, which sounds a little less impressive.
Before you become too worried about the raw power of this next-gen Android mid-ranger, though, it’s crucial to keep in mind that the details mentioned above are far from etched in stone right now. In addition to being subject to change until Google kicks off its Pixel 8a production, they could also be inaccurate or completely phony to begin with, as Geekbench data is almost too easy to manipulate.
