Google Pixel 8a received its first software update with an AI wallpaper generator and a May 2024 security patch. While Google kickstarted its I/O 2024 keynote, the recently launched Pixel 8a got a new 190MB firmware update.

The latest Google Pixel 8a firmware brings the May 2024 Android security patch. The update has also included Google’s AI-powered wallpaper generator feature, which debuted with the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro last year.

While the latest patch ensures your device is protected, an AI wallpaper generator unlocks new ways of personalization. The company is also starting the release of its new mid-range phone, hence, install the update as soon as you get your hands on it.

Powered by generative AI, Google’s AI wallpaper creator allows users to create unique wallpapers based on user-specified themes and keywords. Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series also has this functionality, apart from support for the Gemini Nano AI model.

Google is committed to offering the most of its software experience across segments. Only hardware-backed features are exclusive to certain models such as Generative AI on Pixel 8 series. The next year’s Pixel 9 series will bring more advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.

Google Pixel 8a is expected to add support for display output through a USB Type-C port. Google has recently launched the Pixel 8a, which will go on sale next week. Android expert Mishaal Rahman spotted that the display output feature is buried inside.

The new Google Pixel 8a brings hardware capabilities for display output through a USB Type-C. However, the company hasn’t yet enabled it from the software part. The source speculates it to happen with the next Pixel Feature Drop slated to arrive next month.

Powered by Tensor G3, Google’s Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro bring the display output feature. It’s because of a USB controller, which supports the DisplayPort Alternate Mode signal. Google disabled it during the launch and released it to Pixel 8s with Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2.

Mishaal (via AndroidAuthority) further notes that there is a system property dubbed persist.vendor.usb.displayport.enabled, which is set for 0, meaning the DisplayPort Alternate Mode is disabled. However, the Android 14 QPR3 Beta 2 release set it to 1, enabling the DP Alt mode.
