Google’s Annual I/O Developer conference is set to begin from May 10th this year. The search giant is highly anticipated to launch its mid-ranger Pixel 7a and first-ever foldable dubbed the Pixel Fold at the upcoming event.

The Google Pixel 7a will arrive as the successor to the Google Pixel 6a. As per 9to5Google, the upcoming offering is said to carry a price tag of $499. This means that it will be expensive by $50 compared to the Pixel 6a which was launched at $449. The expected price hike in the Pixel 7a seems justifiable since it will reportedly come with upgrades compared to its predecessor. However, it’s worth noting that the Pixel 7a’s leaked pricing also likely makes it par on the Pixel 7.

The publication reports that Google won’t discontinue the Pixel 6a and instead, it is confirmed to get a price drop. The Pixel 7a is also tipped to be available for purchase immediately after the announcement unlike the Pixel 6a which was available after two months. 

Leaks and rumors have revealed everything about the Pixel 7a leaving almost nothing to the imagination. It is expected to feature a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The device will retain Pixel 7 series-like design with a center-aligned punch-hole cutout housing a 10.8MP front camera and a horizontal bridge with a pill module accommodating a 64MP Sony IMX787 sensor coupled with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens. Internally, the Pixel 7a will reportedly be powered by a Tensor G2 SoC paired with 8GB RAM. The battery and charging speed details of the upcoming offering are not known yet but the device is tipped to feature 5W wireless charging.
