Google Introducing Pixel 7a – Release Date, Price, Features, and More
Google has officially announced the Pixel 7a, after months of speculation and leaks. The device was unveiled at Google’s event and is already available for purchase. If you’ve been on the lookout for a smartphone that offers an ideal blend of features at a reasonable price, the Pixel 7a might just be the device for you.
The Pixel 7a comes with significant enhancements in performance, display, cameras, and charging capabilities. However, these upgrades come at a slightly increased cost. It is worthwhile to see how the Pixel 7a stacks up against Google’s own Pixel 7, as well as competitors like the Galaxy A54 and the iPhone SE. It’s also interesting to note that the Pixel 7a could very well be one of the best Android phones or best cheap phones available in the market, or possibly both.
Key Specifications of the Google Pixel 7a
The Google Pixel 7a is priced at $499 and features a 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 90Hz. It’s powered by the Tensor G2 CPU and comes with 8GB of RAM. The device has a storage capacity of 128GB, which is not expandable. The rear cameras include a 64MP (f/1.89) main camera and a 13MP (f/2.2) camera, while the front camera is a 13MP (f/2.2) shooter.
The Pixel 7a is backed by a 4,385mAh battery, which offers a battery life of approximately 10 hours and 5 minutes at 60Hz. The wired charging speed is 18W, and the phone also supports wireless charging. The dimensions of the device are 6 x 2.8 x 0.4 inches (152 x 72.9 x 9.0 mm), and it weighs 6.8 ounces (193.5 grams). The phone is available in four color options: Charcoal, Sea, Snow, and a Coral variant exclusive to the Google Store.
Release Date and Price of Google’s Pixel 7A
The Google Pixel 7a is on sale starting from the day of the 10th of May. The phone is available in a single variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which can be purchased from various retailers and cellular carriers. However, Google offers a unique color option to entice customers to buy directly from them.
Google’s Pixel 7a is priced at $499/£449, slightly more than the launch price of the Pixel 6a, which was $449/£399. Despite this, the Pixel 7a is still cheaper than the regular Pixel 7, which retails at $599. It’s worth noting that the Pixel 7 and 7a share many features, making the choice between the two a challenging decision for customers.
For those who find the new price point a bit steep, the Pixel 6a remains available for purchase at $349, offering a more budget-friendly alternative.
