Google Pixel roadmap leaks and here is what we learn about Pixel 8 and other upcoming phones

After the wild success of the Google Pixel 7 (and the earlier success of the Google Pixel 6 lineup), it's safe to say that the company has finally hit the nail on the head. Google is working on a future Pixel lineup and has outlined plans for new smartphones in the coming years. Android Authority recently revealed these plans via a trustworthy, anonymous source.

Google Pixel 8 updates

Android Authority shared a roadmap that revealed that the Google Pixel 8 is already in the works. The two smartphones were labelled in the roadmap via codenames - Shiba (which is presumed to be the Google Pixel 8) and Husky (which may be the Google Pixel 8 Pro). The Pixel 8 is believed to be smaller than the Pixel 7, while the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro will be identical. 

Moreover, we may also see the Google Pixel 7a launch in May/June of 2023, along with the Google Pixel Fold. The former may feature wireless charging and a 90Hz refresh rate. Rumours indicate that the Google Pixel Fold will be priced at $1,799. (approximately ₹65,484). Google is also working on a flip phone that may be a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Google’s plans for 2024

The roadmap shows that Google is planning to launch the Google Pixel 8a in 2024 (codenamed Akita), along with the Google Pixel 9 lineup in late 2024. What’s interesting is that the Pixel 9 lineup may have two pro-level models and one regular model. The pro-level models will feature a 6.7-inch screen and a 6.3-inch screen. These smartphones may have the Tensor G4 chip.

Samsung Galaxy A74 launch could be cancelled

According to a report by GalaxyClub, Samsung might cancel the launch of the Samsung Galaxy A74. One of the reasons why this speculation has arisen is because, during this time of the year, Samsung generally starts leaking information about upcoming phones. While the brand has revealed plenty of information about Samsung Galaxy A24, Galaxy A14 5G, Galaxy A54. and Galaxy A34 5G, the same cannot be said about the Samsung Galaxy A74. 

Samsung Galaxy A74 cancelled

If the launch of the Samsung Galaxy A74 gets cancelled, the Samsung Galaxy A54 will be the highest-priced mid-range smartphone. This means that the company could end up simplifying the lineup of mid-range smartphones it offers. 

Samsung Galaxy A54 specifications

It is believed that the Samsung Galaxy A54 will come with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display that has a Full HD+ resolution, an in-display fingerprint reader, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The smartphone may come with a  50MP primary camera (perhaps with OIS) along with a 12MP ultrawide camera. We may also see a 32MP selfie camera and 4K video recording.
