That means we will have same front full screen with closed edges, a front camera integrated into a floating circular island located in the middle position and a flat surface. There will be no changes to the frame either, which will have the same finish rounded corners.

We will also have in the back flat surface and the area dedicated to the two rear cameras, which will take on the color of the metal frame and protrude slightly from the chassis. The same we saw in the Google Pixel 7a.

Jumping to the materials and quality of finishes, the Google Pixel 8a will have a aluminum frameuses Gorilla Glass on the front and plastic on the back. This set of materials puts it in the mid-range in terms of build quality, and on par with what we saw in the Google Pixel 7a.
