The marquee event sees the unveiling of Google’s most important consumer tech in 2023, including the Pixel 7a, Pixel Fold, and more.
It’s Google I/O day, which means there are plenty of new software and service features to pass around the developer table, and some shiny new hardware for everyone to feast their eyes on.
For now, here’s the lowdown of every piece of hardware Google just unveiled at its I/O developer conference.
1. Pixel 7a
The Pixel A-series continues to play a prominent role in Google’s mobile lineup, delivering most, if not all, the latest Android software features in a hardware package that compromises just enough to flaunt a competitive price tag. The Pixel 7a continues that.
This year, the mid-range Pixel sees improvements where it matters most: display quality, charging tech, and camera performance. For starters, the Pixel 7a’s 6.1-inch display gets a bump up to 90Hz from 60, making the user experience much smoother. Pixel 7a is also the first A-series device to feature wireless charging, even if that’s capped at just 7.5 watts.
As for the cameras, you now get a 64MP main lens that’s capable of SuperRes Zoom. Fan-favorite Pixel features like Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur have also trickled down from the flagship Pixels, and that’s mostly thanks to the new Tensor G2 chip powering the unit.
2. Pixel Tablet
While most Android tablet manufacturers continue to fight over specs and numbers, Google’s new Pixel Tablet puts practicality at the forefront — and within the confines of your home.
The company first unveiled its next-gen tablet during its October hardware event last year, and today’s showing just about confirms all the specs and features of the device.
