Smartphone leaks are pretty common, but nothing leaks like a Google Pixel. The company’s upcoming Pixel 7a should launch in three months and we’ve already seen everything from its hands-on images to detailed specifications. Now an alleged Pixel 7a prototype has shown on eBay, and the listing also features photos of the device powered on. Here are the details.
An eBay user with the username nikoskom-94 is apparently selling a Pixel 7a prototype. The handset has been pictured with the same design that has been revealed by various reports but there’s one anomaly— the logo. Pixel smartphones have Google’s “G” logo on the back but this prototype features a logo more similar to the Pac-Man silhouette.
The eBay listing revealed that nikoskom-94 had attempted to auction off the prototype device for a whopping $5,000, but unsurprisingly, there were no takers. Consequently, the price was reduced to $2,500, then to $1,650. However, the device is now listed again with a price of US$2,550 and the auction is set to end on Saturday. This pricing is still exorbitant for a device that is expected to retail for under $500.
The Pixel 7a is reported to debut in May during Google’s I/O 2023 conference. The company may also showcase the Fold and Pixel Tablet at the same event. According to previous reports, the Pixel 7a will sport a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It will likely feature the Tensor G2 chipset, similar to the Pixel 7 series, coupled with 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage. On the software front, the handset could boot Android 13 OS.
