Ahead of the highly anticipated Google I/O event which is set for May 10, several Pixel 7a (Google Pixel 7a Roundup: Everything We Know So Far) units have been spotted on eBay, available for purchase by eager consumers willing to pay the price. While leaks have already revealed many of the phone’s specs, these listings provide a closer look at the device’s capabilities, including dual-SIM support, 5G and Bluetooth connectivity, and a Tensor G2 chip.
Possible Pixel 7a supply chain leak leads to pre-release sales on eBay
Despite the excitement, experts advise against purchasing the device from unofficial sources, as Google may remotely disable the phone and render it useless. Additionally, the official release of the Pixel 7a is just days away, with an expected price of $499.
This situation is not uncommon in the tech industry, as pre-release products sometimes find their way onto the market early. However, the sheer number of Pixel 7a units available for sale on eBay is quite surprising, indicating either a security breach or a significant supply chain leak.
Google Pixel 7a specifications (rumored)
Rumored specifications for the upcoming Google Pixel 7a suggest that it will feature a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. The device is expected to be powered by Google’s own Tensor G2 chipset, the same one found in the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, and will include 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage.
In terms of photography capabilities, the Pixel 7a is rumored to sport a 64MP main rear camera with OIS, along with a 12MP ultra-wide camera. A 10.8MP front-facing camera will cater to high-quality selfies. The smartphone is anticipated to come with a 4,400mAh battery, offering up to 72 hours of battery life, and will support 20W wired charging and wireless charging. The Pixel 7a is expected to ship with Android 13 out of the box.
