Google's budget-friendly Pixel 8a uses a USB-C 2.0 port for charging and data, with 18W Power Delivery support keeping charge times modest but reliable. DisplayPort Alt Mode was enabled via a software update, allowing wired screen mirroring to external displays over USB-C. Data transfer speeds are limited to 480 Mbps over USB 2.0 despite the video output capability. The headphone jack is absent, so a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter or Bluetooth headphones are needed for wired audio.
