Delhi : Google just announced that the opening day of their forthcoming I/O 2023) developer conference will be May 10. At the event, Google is anticipated to unveil Android 14 and a few other items. The Pixel 7a, a low-cost smartphone with a Tensor G2 CPU, is also anticipated from the business.

The Pixel 7a will be the successor to the Pixel 6a and is anticipated to have a nearly same appearance while carrying a significant hardware increase across the board. As we previously learned, the Pixel 7a will, like the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, be powered by Google's newest Tensor G2 processor. It may also be equipped with at least 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The Pixel 7a's display may resemble the Pixel 6a's, according to leaked renderings. The future generation, however, is rumoured to include an upgraded fingerprint sensor and a 6.1-inch OLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz. In addition, it may obtain better glass protection to guard against unintentional damage. In terms of construction, the Pixel 6a's metal frame and plastic back panel may be carried over, maybe in updated colour variations.

The Pixel 7a will include practically all of the software features of a high-end Pixel smartphone, in contrast to Apple, which reserves features like always-on displays for pro models only.

The camera array on the Pixel 7a will be another significant improvement. The Pixel 7a could have a 64MP primary wide-angle lens, becoming Google's first cheap product to have a high-resolution primary camera (IMX787).

There is currently no information available regarding the Pixel 7a's ultra-wide angle and selfie cameras. In addition to standard fast charging, the Pixel 7a will likely also support wireless and reverse wireless charging. The Pixel 7a is anticipated to provide ingress protection of at least IP67 for water and dust resistance, just like its predecessor.

The Pixel 7a will probably come pre-installed with Android 13 given the launch date. But, when Android 14 is released later, this will undoubtedly be one of the first smartphones to acquire it, and like other Pixel devices, it should have access to the developers' beta version of the operating system. Price-wise, the Pixel 7a would retail for roughly Rs 40,000 in India at launch, further reducing the price of the Pixel 6a.
