Day of news for technology and day of news for Google. The long-awaited Pixel 8a and also a new tablet with a very interesting integrated dock are official. The time to discover them has arrived!

Google Pixel 8a

The new cheap smartphone from the Google family is official and as expected from the rumors it is also the first Pixel “a” to be declared waterproof. Its dimensions are equal to 152.1 x 72.7 x 8.9 millimeters with 188 grams of weight and, as anticipated, IP67 certification.

The display it’s a OLED from 6.1″ Actua, according to Google more resistant to scratches, with resolution FullHD+, refresh rate a 120Hz and brightness that reaches up to 2,000 nits peak.

The processor it’s the Google Tensor G3 flanked by 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM memory e 182/256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage.

The rooms section is formed from:

• a room principal 64MP with f/1.9 aperture,
• a room ultra-wide angle 13MP with f/2.2 aperture and 120° field of view,
• room front 13MP with f/2.2 aperture and 96.5° field of view.

There drums it’s a 4,500mAh with 30W fast charging and wireless charging while in terms of connectivity we find 5G, WiFi 6e, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, GPS, eSIM support and USB-C 3.2 connector. The ones who could make the difference could be 7 years of updates promised by Google. Just like on Pixel 8 and 8 Pro it’s not just security patches but also 7 major updates and if other competitors are also adapting to the top of the range in this price range we find very little competition from this point of view.

Pixel 8a will go on sale from May 14th at the price of 549 euros at Unieuro with Trade-in and 150 euros extra valuation, or from Vodafone, always with Trade-in but with 100 euros of extra evaluation. On Amazon It is on Google Store instead you can pre-order from today, obtaining 150 euros of extra evaluation until 20 May and 100 euros of vouchers for the products of the Pixel ecosystem on Amazon while on the Google Store you will have, purchasing until 3 June, in addition to the trade-in with 150 euros extra valuation, the Pixel Buds A-series at 50%.

Google Pixel Tablet

The Pixel series tablet finally lands in Italy. It is a tablet that we could also consider like this, as a tablet in itself but which in reality takes on a completely different meaning and stands out from the crowd thanks to the magnetic base. A base on which to place it and which transforms it into a central hub for our home automation, always within reach and also equipped with a more powerful speaker for listening to music.

Her measures are equal to 258 x 169 x 8.1 millimeters and the weight is 493 grams. The materials must be underlined, or rather, the material used for the construction because the entire backcover is made of nanoceramics, a material that is opaque to the eye, which should not retain fingerprints and which to the touch gives a sensation similar to that of porcelain.

The display it’s a LCD from 10.95″ with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels with a format therefore 4.10pm, 276ppi and typical brightness equal to 500 nits.

The processor it’s the Google Tensor G2 with next to it 8GB Of RAM And 128/256GB UFS 3.1 internal storage.

The rooms section it is made up of two 8 megapixel cameras, one internal and one external but this is certainly not its focus, it has the peculiarity of being a tablet designed to manage home automation and in fact once positioned on its dock it always maintains this function as a shortcutaccessible even before unlocking the tablet.

There drums and from 27Wh and it recharges when magnetically attached to the base as well as obviously also with a possible power supply USB-C, which however must be purchased separately.

The price of this Pixel Tablets is equal to 499 euros in 8/128GB version and 619 euros in the 8/256GB version but another 100 euros must be added to these prices for the base. We find various promotions in this case too. It will in fact be sold by Unieuro from May 14th including the Pixel Buds A-series or on Amazon from today on pre-order until June 3rd always with the Pixel Buds A-series or even on Google Store from today to June 3rd with 100 euros worth of vouchers to use on the store itself.
