Google Pixel 7a: Latest Leaks and Specs

Before the arrival of the Google Pixel 8 later this year, we can expect to see the Google Pixel 7a. The latest leak around the mid-ranger has given us a couple of real-world photos of the handset, as well as details on some specs.

The photos show off the expected Google Pixel 7a look, with a cut-out for the selfie camera at the top of the display and the now-familiar Pixel camera bar around the back. In short, it looks like you would expect the Google Pixel 7a to look.

There is no official launch date yet, but last year the Pixel 6a was unveiled at Google IO 2022. This year’s developer conference has now been set for May 10, so it seems reasonable to assume we might see the Pixel 7a then.
