Google unveiled the Pixel 6a earlier this year with the same custom Tensor chipset and exclusive software features as the more expensive Pixels. The phone became quite popular among consumers due to its affordable price tag. Now, Amazon suggests the search giant might be gearing up to unveil the Pixel 7a soon. The e-commerce company is reportedly allowing users to subscribe for the upcoming announcement of the smartphone. Here are the details.
According to GSMArena, Amazon is letting users subscribe for the “Google Pixel 7a family launch announcement.” No details are provided on when the Pixel 7a will be revealed, but since the e-commerce giant is already handing out invitations, it shouldn’t take long.
However, we find it hard to believe that Google will unveil the 7a this early. The current Pixel 6a is only six months old, and if you recall, the company took months to introduce the device. Also, a recent report revealed that Google has ordered 4 million units of the “a” phone for launch early next year.
It’s worth noting that the event is for the “Google Pixel 7a Family,” meaning there are multiple variants of the smartphone. We don’t expect separate 5G/4G models because the Pixel 5a and 6a already have 5G. Chances are the company may bring the rumored Pixel 7 mini.
Amazon’s listing also mentioned a watch, but Google already launched its first smartwatch, Pixel Watch, earlier this month. This suggests the whole subscription thing could very well be a typo. In any case, we have subscribed to the list and will let you know if Amazon sends an update.
