As the day of the Google I/O 2023 event draws nearer, more leaks are surfacing about the much-awaited launch of the Google Pixel 7a. A tipster has suggested that the phone will be launched in five new colour options, and also hinted at the device’s storage capacity. Here’s what we know about the Google Pixel 7a so far:
Colour options
The Google Pixel 7a is said to come in five new colour options, according to a tipster named Paras Guglani. These colours are reportedly going to be called Dinuguan Black, Crispy Kale, Mayo Cream, Tide Orange, and Vibrant Ube. Currently, there is no information on how these colours will look or if they will be offered in all markets.
Storage capacity
Tipster Paras Guglani also hinted at the Google Pixel 7a’s storage options. The Pixel 6a was launched with a single 128GB storage option, but the upcoming phone is expected to offer an additional 256GB storage option. This will be a welcome change for users who require more storage space on their phones.
Pricing and availability
Leaked details suggest that the Google Pixel 7a could be priced between $450 to $500 (roughly Rs. 37,100 to Rs. 41,200) for the base 128GB model. The phone is expected to be available in global markets by the third quarter of 2023. However, there is no official confirmation on the pricing and availability from Google.
Specifications
The Google Pixel 7a is expected to be powered by Google’s Tensor G2 SoC, which is also found in the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro. It is also said to feature a 6.1-inch full-HD+ OLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The phone’s leaked design renders suggested that the screen could remain flat and sport a hole-punch cutout at the top centre.
On the back, the phone is expected to feature a dual-camera setup with an LED flash. The Pixel 7a is tipped to feature a 64-megapixel Sony IMX787 sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. It will most likely run Android 13 out-of-the-box. The phone is also said to feature 5W wireless charging support.
Conclusion
With only a few months left until the Google I/O 2023 event, we can expect more leaks and information about the Google Pixel 7a to surface. The upcoming phone promises to be an exciting addition to the Pixel series, with its new colour options and increased storage capacity. However, we will have to wait until the official launch to know more about its pricing, availability, and specifications.
