Google’s not-yet-announced Pixel 7a has appeared in the rumor mill several times. That includes a more recent leak where a tipster claimed to have a real one to touch Reference to even more details in the process. While waiting for the expected launch that will take place on the upcoming Google I/O 2023 Event there is now another leak that suggests the color options or finishes of the smartphone in detailed renderings, leaving little to the imagination.
Tipster @OnLeaks has partnered with MySmartPrice to reveal what are expected to be three color options for the upcoming Pixel 7a. During the outgoing Pixel 6a is currently available in Chalk, Charcoal and Sage finishes, the upcoming model is expected to come in Blue, White and Gray color options. The actual names of the surfaces were not revealed in the leak, which also shows the different colors in detailed renderings.
While the Pixel 6a’s charcoal and chalk colors appear a little similar to the gray and white finishes of the Pixel 7a, the new blue finish is quite different. The new blue option looks like a bright sky blue and will certainly stand out as a unique color option for this year’s affordable Pixel, similar to the Pixel 6a’s Sage finish.
Although several blue options have been offered in the past, like the Really Blue of the first Pixel, the pixels 2‘s Kinda Blue and the Pixel 3a‘s purple-ish finish, this is the first time we’ve seen a lighter sky-blue option in the Pixel lineup. Newer models were usually available in shades of green like Hazel (Pixel 7 Pro), Lemongrass (Pixel7) and Sorta Seafoam (Pixel6).
While the new leak also shows the same thing in detailed renders of the Pixel 7a, a previous leak suggested the phone will instead be available in five finishes. The previous report pointed out that the phone will be available in a 256GB storage variant and will have five color options – Dinuguan Black, Crispy Kale, Mayo Cream, Tide Orange and Vibrant Ube.
Another leak, which turned out to be our first official look at the device, suggested a design very similar to the outgoing Pixel 7 model. Besides confirming the new design for the revamped camera module, the source also confirms implied that the phone will have an aluminum frame but with a glass back panel, as opposed to the Pixel 6a’s polycarbonate screen, which we didn’t like in ours review.
One more last report also suggested that the estimated price of the Pixel 7a should be between US$450 and US$500 (roughly Rs.32,000 to Rs.40,000). A similar leak from a reliable source also hinted that the Pixel 7a would be available in 128GB and 256GB storage options and would come in Arctic Blue, Carbon, Cotton and Jade color variants. the phone is expected to upgrade to the latest Tensor G2 processor, like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro models launched last year.
