Google’s allegedly affordable “A”-tagged mid-range Pixel 7a smartphone, which is scheduled to debut in 2023, will supposedly have a number of improvements over the company’s previous A-series Pixel smartphones. According to reports, the Pixel 7a will also include wireless charging and superior cameras. The Pixel 3a, the first device in Google’s A-series, was introduced with the goal of bringing the flagship Pixel experience to a more cost device, which the search giant accomplished by using less expensive materials. The business has, however, narrowed the gap between the flagship features, quality, and experience with each new A-series launch.
This tactic was demonstrated by Google’s decision to introduce the Pixel 4a 5G alongside the Pixel 5, both devices sporting the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G SoC. A 90Hz refresh rate-supporting display, water resistance, a premium metal body, and wireless charging were other characteristics that helped the Pixel 4a 5G stand out in a market where they were uncommon. The Pixel 5a maintained a low retail price while sporting a metal shell and a water-resistant body. Most notably, the main camera sensor in the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5a phones was identical to that on the flagship models.
The search engine giant chose to keep the camera sensors from the Pixel 5a, therefore the Pixel 6a did not have the same camera sensor as the Pixel 6.
A public discussion on the open-source code of Android initially supported Google’s development on the Pixel 7a by revealing that the device codenamed “Lynx,” which will launch in 2023, will be the Pixel 7a.
A Pixel gadget being produced by Foxconn in China earlier this year was mentioned by Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station to employ the same Tensor G2 chip as the Pixel 7 series and have a ceramic body. The Pixel 7a is currently being speculated to be this gadget, according to the 9to5Google story. The Pixel 7a would be the first Google phone in the Pixel lineup to have a ceramic body if this were to be accurate.
Kuba Wojciechowski, an android researcher, also claims that the Lynx Pixel 7a will have the “P9222” processor for wireless charging. The Pixel 7a’s wireless charging capabilities may be more for show than for actual use since the aforementioned chip can only handle 5W charging.
The Pixel 7a may use the same Samsung 50-megapixel sensor as the Pixel 6 series, in addition to a 64-megapixel telephoto sensor and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor for image capture and processing. The Pixel A-series would feature a telephoto sensor for the first time in this instance. In actuality, telephoto sensors were previously found exclusively in the most expensive “Pro” Pixel variants.
However, Google has stayed silent and has not provided any specifics regarding the name, appearance, features, cost, or launch information for the rumored Pixel 7a variant.
