For a few years, Google has accustomed us to releasing a more affordable version of its Pixels. The Pixel 7 should be no exception. The Mountain View firm has certainly not formalized the Pixel 7a, but everything suggests that it is imminent.
By scrutinizing Amazon’s mobile application, our colleagues from GSMArena were able to see that the firm was already inviting Internet users to register to be informed of the announcement of the Pixel 7a… if, of course, Amazon does not did not put the cart before the horse.
The e-commerce giant even evokes a “family” of smartphones, suggesting that several models could be available. We can for example imagine an XL version, with a larger screen. Traditionally, the “a” versions have a smaller panel than the standard models. It could also just be two different storage options.
An imminent release?
Alas, no release date has been communicated. Same observation for the technical sheet of the smartphone, which is still unknown. However, we can imagine that the Pixel 7a will be strongly inspired by the Pixel 7, by cutting back on a few elements, such as the photo sensors or the screen, to lighten the final note.
The Pixel 6a was released a little over three months ago and is one of the best choices in the mid-range market today. The release of a Pixel 7a very soon therefore seems a little premature. But things should accelerate from the start of 2023, and this new model could simply replace it in the catalog.
The Californian giant has managed to contain the prices of Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. We can therefore imagine that it will be the same for this new version, whose code name is “Felix”.
