Google Pixel 7A leak reveals new blue shade

We’re getting nearer and nearer to Google I/O 2023, and it’s trying like this 12 months’s occasion will include new {hardware} in tow. Google is predicted to announce its newest midtier cellphone, the Pixel 7A, on the Might tenth I/O keynote. The corporate has a protracted historical past of sheer incompetence in relation to containing leaks and product secrecy, and the 7A has been no exception.

Now, we’re getting a glance (through 9to5Google) at what seems to be Google’s official advertising and marketing renders of the cellphone — they usually showcase a brand new blue shade choice that will likely be out there alongside black and white. It’s a muted blue and nonetheless a far cry from the “actually blue” authentic Pixel; Google appears very hesitant to go daring on colours once more, which is a disgrace.

Value ready for over a $449 Pixel 7?

The photographs had been revealed by MySmartPrice and OnLeaks, they usually affirm that the Pixel 7A will look nearer to Google’s flagship telephones than any earlier A-Sequence. You’re getting the identical digicam bar design with a cutout for 2 lenses, and the facet rails look like metallic once more (just like the 6A). If not for the extra substantial show bezels, most individuals would have a troublesome time telling this factor aside from final 12 months’s Pixel 7.

The Pixel 7A is rumored to be powered by the identical Tensor G2 chip because the 7 and seven Professional. And Google seems to lastly be caving to strain from Samsung, OnePlus, and different opponents by together with a 90Hz show. That will be one other spec that it shares with the Pixel 7.

There will likely be variations between them — together with digicam {hardware}, more than likely — however Google appears poised to iterate upon the Pixel 6A with some good quality-of-life enhancements. Do remember that the Pixel 7 remains to be at the moment on sale for $449, with the 6A principally on clearance at $299, so the large query is the place the 7A’s value will land. We’ll know extra about that (together with the remainder of what’s new) inside a matter of weeks. Personally, I’m rather more excited for the oft-rumored Pixel Fold as the following entrant within the folding telephones enviornment.
