After the release of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro last year, we have one member of that family left. About Pixel 7aAbout which we’ve already seen rumors and leaks and promises to be a very worthy successor to the great Pixel 6a.

Google’s new “affordable” terminal will arrive in a few weeks, and before that, we wanted to review everything known about some smartphones that are considered a benchmark for anyone who’s budgeting a little more but thinking more. I am looking for a guaranteed Android mobile phone.

How many Pixel 7a models will there be?

Until now, Pixels with the suffix “a” came with a variant defined only by storage, but rumors suggest that Google will offer two different models this time.

Thus, we will have a Pixel 7a with 128GB of storage, which seems guaranteed, and we will be the natural heir to the Pixel 6a, which had this capacity from last year.

However, it is rumored that we will also have a Pixel 7a this year. It will be 256GB storage capacity.

What kind of design will the Pixel 7a have?

As with the Pixel 6a, the new Pixel 7a is almost identical at first glance to the Pixel 7. The leaks and renders that appear confirm this, but there will be some differences, such as the display bezels that are already a feature of the Pixel 6a and will apparently remain on the Pixel 7a.

The rear will remain the same bar for cameras that can use aluminum like on the Pixel 7, but Google may cut costs and replace that material with polycarbonate.

The glass back of the Pixel 7 can be replaced with plastic, as in the Pixel 6a. However, there are rumors that glass will continue to be used in the construction of this device.

Features: welcome back, 90 Hz?

The Pixel 7a is expected to have a 6.1-inch OLED panel with a resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 pixels, and it was right in this section that we could see one of the biggest innovations of the series.

And according to rumors, these devices will receive support for: 90Hz refresh ratesSomething that’s a first for the Pixel’s affordable range.

Given that the Pixel 6a reuses the Google Tensor SoC in the Pixel 6/Pro, it makes sense to think that here the manufacturer will do exactly the same and use the Tensor G2 in the Pixel 7a, which it integrated earlier. Pixel 7/Pro. The chip does not compete with the strongest on the market and focuses on efficiency and artificial intelligence.

The amount of RAM is mentioned, which may be 8 GB instead of the 6 GB of its predecessor. This is the same memory that Pixel 7 has integrated and will be an important aid for all processes running on the mobile.

The battery shouldn’t differ much from that of the Pixel 6a -4,410 mAh- and here it will be necessary to see if the autonomy of the new SoC helps it gain integers compared to that of the Pixel 6a, although it will take a whole day. properly, something was missing for really heavy use.

There seems to be some great news here too, as the Pixel 7a not only supports the same fast charging as its predecessor (18W), but also also wireless charging (although apparently limited to 5 W), this is another of the most striking innovations of the new terminal.

What news will there be on the Pixel 7a’s camera?

The photography department is one of the different aspects of these devices and it looks like it will be right again in the upcoming Pixel 7a.

In fact, potential replacement of camera sensors is expected. Rumors say that the two traditional sensors in this range (the main sensor and the ultra-wide angle) will be retained, but they will do so with a margin.

This difference is in the main sensor, which is Jump to 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor. Other leaks claim that the Pixel 7a will continue to focus on the 12 MP sensors of its predecessor, the Pixel 6a, which remains a great option for those looking for good mobile photography experiences.

When will the Pixel 7a be released?

The Pixel 7a is expected to be unveiled at the keynote of this company’s developer conference, Google I/O 2023. That speech will be made later. 10 May 2023.

When is Pixel 7a coming out?

Although available at that time, the actual launch will likely be delayed to July or August 2023. Pixel 6a went on sale in Spain on July 28, 2022.

How much will the Pixel 7a cost?

Pixel 6a did it at a price when it went on sale 459 euros It’s in Spain and Google is expected to keep the same price for the Pixel 7a.

Here is an argument and a counter-argument. In favor is the fact that the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro do not rise in price compared to their predecessors. On the other hand, inflation has caused the rise of many products and also the new Pixel 7a will bring notable improvements according to these leaks.
