Google's first new Pixel of the year — Google Pixel 8a — is anticipated to be unveiled at the upcoming I/O event. Just a month before the annual developer event, more Pixel 8a renders have leaked once again. The new renders show the handset from multiple angles in four colour options. As per the renders, which appear to be marketing material, the Pixel 8a could carry the design language of last year's Pixel 8 series.

Tipster Arsene Lupin (@MysteryLupin) posted alleged images of the upcoming Pixel 8a on X (formerly Twitter) showing off the phone from multiple angles. The pictures don't disclose any specifications of the handset, though they show the design in better quality than previous leaked images. The renders affirm the phone's design with a hole-punch display, rounded corners, noticeable bezels, and a dual rear camera unit, which we have been seeing for months.

The renders suggests black, beige, blue and green colour options for the Pixel 8a. These colourways are likely to be known as Porcelain (beige), Bay (blue), Mint (green), and Obsidian (black). It seems to follow the design language of Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro.
