The future Pixel 7a smartphone under Google’s own brand will introduce a number of features that were not part of this mid-range in the past, in addition to the use of a new Qualcomm modem and improvements to the screen and camera, a completely new support for wireless charging.

Google has done its homework with the Pixel 7, its new flagship to compete in the high-end market. As with the Pixel 6, it’s developing a lower-powered variant that will arrive early next year. First information that are reaching us talk about a much improved terminal in several parts.

The Pixel 7a will be more premium

One of the novelties will come from the screen, the main component of every smartphone, which will fit a new panel with a resolution of 1080p and 90Hz refresh rate which will address one of the biggest complaints about the current Pixel 6a.

Cameras will be another improved section thanks to a new configuration where highlights Sony optics, the IMX787 main camera and the IMX712 ultra wide-angle camera. They probably won’t reach the level of those installed in the Pixel 7, but the larger sensor size should be a big improvement over the 6a.

Classification a Qualcomm modem You will need to resolve the signal and connection issues that have plagued some users of Google’s own phones, particularly the Pixel 6 series.

Another of the excellent premieres will be wireless charging compatibility 5 watts. It’s slow by today’s standards, but you’re welcome, as this will be the first time it’s been supported in this mid-range lineup.

All of the above will be boosted by the use of an improved version of the Tensor SoC, a custom SoC created internally by the Internet giant for its mobile devices, which has the same goal as Apple A or Samsung Exynos, to reduce dependence on external technologies and integrate hardware and software improvements.

With Android 13 pre-installed, the Pixel 7a will launch in early 2023, and if the rumors are true, it will be a worthy contender in the highly competitive mid-range smartphone lineup.
