A leaker claims to know the technical characteristics of the Google Pixel 7a. Here is the list.
Google will hit hard again this year. Although the Android developer’s sales are relatively small compared to those of Samsung, Apple or Xiaomi, the Mountain View brand is gaining esteem among a tech-savvy audience. It is in particular its excellent quality-price ratio that is praised, both on its main range and on its more affordable “a” range.
In 2023, the Pixel 7a is expected and it already promises to correct the main flaw of its predecessor by integrating a 90 Hz screen. And the rest of its technical sheet could be just as interesting to believe a recent tweet from leaker Debayan Roy – which should still be taken with caution.
A start of technical sheet for the Pixel 7a
The one who calls himself GadgetsData on Twitter has published an early spec sheet for the Pixel 7a.
Pixel 7A
• 6.1″ FHD+ 90Hz OLED
• Tensor G2, LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1
• 64MP Sony IMX787 + 12MP UW
• 5W wireless charging
• Android 13 pic.twitter.com/qGVzFQoKiZ—Debayan Roy (Gadgetsdata) (@Gadgetsdata) March 9, 2023
According to him, Google’s next smartphone would feature a 6.1-inch Full HD+ screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz, the same Tensor G2 chip as the Pixel 7, a 64MP IMX787 main sensor with optical stabilization and an ultra 12MP wide-angle. On the memory side, there would be RAM in LPDDR5 format and UFS 3.1 storage, the latest technologies currently available. Of course, Google obliges, Android 13 would be there, with the guarantee that Android 14 will be deployed as soon as it is released. It also specifies that IP certification is planned, which is not surprising since the 2022 model is already IP67.
Finally, this generation would bring another novelty: the presence of wireless charging, absent on the Pixel 6a. With a power of 5 Watts on the other hand, it will be necessary to be as patient as an iPhone user to recharge this wireless telephone.
Apart from the information on the camera (a previous rumor mentioned three sensors), this data sheet broadly corroborates previous rumors about the Pixel 7a. A few weeks before the final revelation, it therefore seems to be becoming clearer.
See you in May
For the time being, Google has not yet communicated on its Pixel 7a, but we can expect it to be announced at Google I/O in May. It remains to be seen whether its price will remain as aggressive as usual. The Pixel 6a was released at 459 euros, but is currently at 339 euros on the Google Store.
