The Pixel 7a may well appear at Google IO 2023 this week, and extensive leaks have given us a good idea of what it will be like.
It looks very likely that the next phones we’re going to get from Google will be the Pixel Fold and the Pixel 7a, with both tipped to launch at Google IO 2023 this week. The latter will be the successor to the Pixel 6a in Google’s series of value-for-money mid-rangers, and based on the rumors it looks like being pretty special.
At the time of writing, we don’t have anything official on the Pixel 7a (unlike the Pixel Fold or the Pixel Tablet), but we do have a lot of rumors and leaks to pore over – and they have us pretty excited about what Google might have in store here.
Bear in mind that none of these rumors are confirmed as yet. If the phone is indeed unveiled at Google IO 2023, then we should learn everything there is to know about the Pixel 7a on Wednesday, May 10. Before then, here’s our roundup of the seven reasons why it’ll be worth tuning in for.1. Quick availability
May 10 is the day when we’re expecting the Pixel 7a to be unveiled, but how quickly after that will it be available to buy? Pretty quickly, according to one source: in fact, you might be able to buy the Pixel 7a immediately after it’s been announced, with no preorders needed.
Retailers have apparently been stocking up on the Pixel 7a phone well in advance. In contrast, it looks like there might be quite a wait for the Pixel Fold to be made available, so you’ll have more time to save up for that one.2. A familiar design
The look of the Pixel phones is now fairly well established, with the rounded edges, the soft colors and the raised camera bar. From the leaked pictures and videos we’ve seen of the phone, it doesn’t look as though Google is going to deviate much from that template when it comes to the Pixel 7a.
