One of the most anticipated smartphones right now isn’t a flagship or a high-end smartphone. It’s the Google Pixel 7a, the follow-up to the more-affordable Pixel device lineup. Over the last few months, leaks regarding the upcoming device have been sprouting left and right in the tech space, which explains the popularity of the device. Now we are quite close to the Google I/O Event 2023, which is expected to be held in May this year. Reportedly, Google plans to unveil the Pixel 7a to the general public on the same day alongside the Pixel Fold, with preorders beginning on the day of the event itself.

Pixel fans can mark their calendars for May 10th, 2023. This is the day when Google is expected to announce its newest devices during its annual Developer conference, Google I/O. The list of anticipated devices includes the Google Pixel Fold, the Pixel 7a, and the Pixel Tablet.

Preorders for the same will be open on May 10 though, the leak states.

The upcoming Pixel 7a is rumored to be a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Pixel 6a. The phone is expected to feature 8GB of RAM and a dual-camera setup consisting of a 64MP Sony IMX787 main camera sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide camera sensor, making it ideal for capturing high-quality images and videos. The phone’s sleek design includes a 6.1-inch OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution, as well as a signature Pixel metallic visor-like camera module on the back. The Pixel 7a will be powered by Google’s custom-designed Tensor G2 SoC, delivering lightning-fast performance. While details about the battery and charging speed have not been officially announced, the phone is speculated to support 5W wireless charging. Additionally, selfie enthusiasts can rejoice as the phone is expected to feature a 10.8MP front camera, the same as the premium Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
