The Pixel 8a is a steal! Great camera, amazing battery life, comfortable design, and all at a super price. The only downside? Not many accessories yet. Luckily, I found awesome skins and a screen protector from Gadgetshieldz to keep my phone looking good and protected from scratches.

Its like asking when will Apple push "Apple intelligence" to samsung and motorola phones?
Or when will BMW push and update for Fiat cars?
Had noticed that phone number lookup after updating feature drop is not working in India and have raised a request, they are looking into it
Google repar keeps your phone if you have non orm parts
Anyone using pixel 8 pro now and would recommend it as it's on sale and I'm tempted....

The feature drop also includes manual lens selection for Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro, but for the 7 Pro, this feature is basically useless.
The 7 Pro actually has 5(!) cameras (five different fields of view with 12 megapixel) due to analog pixel binning: 13.4mm, 24mm(binning), 48mm, 116.5mm(binning), 233mm. And the manual lens selection doesn't let you choose the 233mm and 48mm cameras.
So, manual lens selection avoids that the camera app chooses a crop from the main camera instead of using the periscope camera in low light conditions (in contrast to the 6 Pro, this happens rarely, furthermore, already without this "feature" you could force the periscope camera by zooming more), but it doesn't avoid that the camera app uses a crop from the 116.5mm camera instead of using the 233mm camera in low light conditions (this happens always), so this feature is nearly useless for 7 Pro users!
And in contrast to the Pixel 8 Pro, you can't save 50 megapixel 116.5mm photos, which would nearly solve this issue. So, really not useful. Even manual focus would be more useful.
