The upcoming Google Pixel 3a has turned up on Geekbench, revealing key benchmark scores.
This comes ahead of the smartphone's official unveiling alongside its larger sibling, the Pixel 3a XL, on May 7 at the company's 2019 I/O developer conference.
Pixel 3a Benchmark
As reported earlier by My Smart Price, the Pixel 3a, aka "sargo," scored 1,625 and 5,206 in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. To no one's surprise, it runs on Android 9 Pie from the get-go. Also, it's powered by 4 GB of RAM (3,593 MB, to be exact) and an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon chip with a base frequency of 1.71 Ghz, though the model wasn't specified on the sheet.
Potential Pixel 3a Specs
Earlier in April, Google accidentally revealed the partial specs of the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL.
According to the leak, the former will have a 5.6-inch display with a 2,220 x 1,080 resolution, clocking at 440 DPI, and its Geekbench entry corroborates the other specs, particularly about the 4 GB of RAM and Android 9 Pie operating system. In addition, the website 9to5Google confirmed that it would have a Snapdragon 670, an OLED display, 3,000 mAh battery, an eight-megapixel wide-angle front-facing camera, and a 12-megapixel primary camera.
As for the larger sibling, it'll have 4 GB of RAM and run on Android 9 Pie as well and sport a 6-inch display with a 2,160 x 1,080 resolution and 400 DPI. It's expected to have a Snapdragon 710 chip.
Pixel 3a Rumors And Leaks: The Story So Far
A rumor back in March said that the Pixel 3a will come in iris purple or, at least, some sort of purple-ish color. After that, recent alleged renders of the device got leaked and backed up the rumor.
A report also said that the devices will be available from T-Mobile, meaning there's a chance that Verizon won't be the only carrier to sell the Pixel line in the future. Interestingly, the Pixel 3 and even the unannounced Pixel 4 were also said to be included in the mix.
Of course, rumors are rumors, and they should always be taken with a grain of salt. It won't be long until Google officially takes the wraps off the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL anyway.
