Google is set to release its mid-range offering, the Pixel 7a, which is expected to debut at the I/O 2023 on May 10th. The latest hands-on leak, courtesy of Zing News, shows off the phone’s design in full glory. The device looks almost identical to recent Pixel phones with its square design and sharp edges. The Pixel 7a comes with a center-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter and symmetrical bezels on all corners.
The phone has a Black color option, but there may be other color options at launch. One of the leaked images shows the fastboot screen, confirming that the phone will pack 8GB LPDDR5 Samsung RAM and 128GB internal storage, with a possible 6GB version as well. The top portion houses the secondary microphone for noise cancellation, while the bottom edge has two speaker vents and a USB Type-C slot. The power button and volume rockers can be seen on the right edge.
The Pixel 7a is expected to sport a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The device will likely feature the Tensor G2 chipset, similar to the Pixel 7 series, paired with 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage. Out of the box, Pixel 7a is likely to boot Android 13 OS.
The back of the phone has a horizontal strap to house dual cameras and an LED flash, with the panel appearing to be made of glass. Pixel 7a is rumored to come with a 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor and a 12MP secondary ultra-wide sensor. The selfie snapper could be a 10.8MP unit, which is the same as the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. The phone is expected to launch with 5W wireless charging support.
