Google is reportedly gearing up to launch the Pixel 8a at the Google I/O 2024 event on May 14. The handset has been an active name in the rumour mill in recent weeks. In the latest leaks series, fresh hints suggest that the Pixel 8a could debut with several AI features and a seven-year update policy.

However, the update commitment could be different from the Pixel 8. Here are the details leaked concerning the software of the device. According to a MySmartPrice report, the phone is expected to pack 'Best Take' for improved group shots. The handset could also sport the 'Circle to Search' feature that debuted on the S24 series and later arrived for Pixel smartphones.

Pixel 8a could also get the 'Live Translate' feature to translate calls and Call Assist for screening calls. Moreover, the smartphone could also sport the 'Audio Magic Eraser' feature that removes unwanted noise from audio. The handset's camera could offer Night Sight, according to the marketing material leaked by Android Headlines.

The Pixel 8a could offer seven years of security updates with the device. This could be different from the Pixel 8 series' seven-year OS updates commitment. Moreover, the report noted that the Pixel 8a could be the only piece of hardware which may debut at the event because the Pixel Fold's upgrade has reportedly been shifted to October. Plus, rumours around the Pixel Tablet's successor also remain scant.
