The release of the Google Pixel 7a has not been officially announced yet, but we can be certain that it is on its way since the A-series has been around since the Pixel 3. The Pixel 7a is expected to offer a more affordable alternative to the Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro, as previous generations have done.
In our review of the Pixel 7, we were extremely impressed, with one of our writers claiming that “you’re not going to find a better phone” at its price point. We’re excited to see what the Pixel 7a will bring to the table, and there are already a number of rumors circulating about its release date, price, specs, and design.
Based on the release dates of previous models, it’s likely that the Pixel 7a will launch sometime between May and August. Some leaked information from WinFuture suggests that the phone will launch in June, but it may also be announced at Google I/O next month.
As for price, we can make an educated guess based on previous models. The Pixel 3a, 4a, 5a, and 6a all fell within the $349 to $449 price range, with the latest two models sticking to a consistent $449. Based on this, it’s likely that the Pixel 7a will launch at $449, although there are some rumors suggesting it could be priced lower.
In terms of design, we don’t expect any major changes from Google’s affordable alternative, but there are some interesting rumors floating around. One suggests that the phone will feature a body built with ceramic materials, while another reveals a new sky blue color option.
There are also rumors about new features, including wireless charging and a 90Hz display, as well as upgrades to RAM and the processor. If these rumors turn out to be true, the Pixel 7a will be a welcome addition to the series.
Overall, we anticipate that the Pixel 7a will be a solid phone at an affordable price, but we’re keeping an eye on all the rumors to see what surprises Google has in store for us. Whether it launches at Google I/O next month or a little later, we’ll be sure to cover all the news as it comes in.
