The Pixel 7a will be one of the most highly anticipated smartphones for customers who cannot splurge large amounts on a flagship. Thanks to the latest leak, we now know that Google intends to ship the mid-range handset in three color options, and it will resemble one or two devices that the company has released previously launched.
Pixel 7a looks strikingly similar to the Pixel 6a and Pixel 6, but it will sport flagship hardware for a smaller price tag
The collaboration of OnLeaks and MySmartPrice managed to make this Pixel 7a leak possible. From the front and back, the upcoming mid-ranger looks similar to the Pixel 6a from last year, sporting that ‘boxy’ design with the rear camera visor at the back featuring two lenses, along with a single punch-hole front-facing camera. Assuming Google makes minimal changes to the design, no other competitor is churning out devices that look like this, so we should view it as unnecessary for Google to make efforts to redesign the smartphone.

Thankfully, later in the year, there should be more color options for the buyer to choose from, as the Pixel 7a leak shows three flavors; White, Grey, and the third one appears to be Sky Blue. Google will likely choose different names for these Pixel 7a versions, so keep that in mind during the official announcement. The latest leak did not talk about the specifications, but past reports have shed a large degree of light on that particular area, so future customers are already well-informed prior to making their purchase.

However, in case you are not, we want to remind you that the Pixel 7a is reported to ship with the same Tensor G2 chipset that powers the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Though the Tensor G2 is slower than competing SoCs, the software optimizations placed by Google should make for a fluid user experience. Additionally, thanks to a prototype of the Pixel 7a that previously went on sale on eBay, we discovered that the price-to-performance handset would feature 128GB of non-expandable storage and 8GB RAM.

The display itself is reported to measure 6.1 inches diagonally and will likely be an OLED one, with support of up to a 90Hz refresh rate. We have yet to learn about the other specifications of the upcoming handset, but we are sure that this will not be the last Pixel 7a leak we have come across in the near future, so stay tuned.
