Google Pixel 8a Emerges on FCC Database, Suggesting Impending Debut
Unveiling the Pixel 8a: FCC Listing Reveals Model Numbers G8HNN, GKV4X, G6GPR, and G576D
Google Pixel 8a has been in rumours for the last few months. Google is yet to confirm the existence of the Pixel 7a successor, but ahead of it, the handset has allegedly been spotted on the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website, pretty much confirming its arrival. The Pixel 8a is expected to support wireless charging and offer Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. It is expected to debut during the Google I/O 2024 event in May.
In the FCC listing, first spotted by Droidlife, a Google phone is seen with model numbers G8HNN, GKV4X, G6GPR, and G576D. These model numbers are presumed to belong to different variants of the Pixel 8a. Google followed a similar numbering scheme for last year’s Pixel 7a. The model number G6GPR popped up earlier in January as part of a retail box leak.
As per the FCC listing, the Pixel 8a will support wireless charging and offer connectivity options including Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, 5G, and mmW. The listing also suggests the launch may not be far off.
