The Pixel 7a promises to be a mid-range monster. The phone promises to improve on the Pixel 6a by fixing the phone’s biggest flaws, updating the display and camera, and adding wireless charging. On paper, the unreleased phone looks so good that it won’t be easy to upgrade to the larger Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. Surely then Google can justify a slight price increase?
Max Weinbach of 9to5Google says he has a price for the Pixel 7a and it’s $499. That’s $50 more than the $449 Pixel 6a, but it’s justified given all the upgrades. The report also says that Google will continue to sell the Pixel 6a “at a discounted price,”making a great phone even more profitable.
We called the Pixel 7a “mid-range,”but it’s probably not the same phone anymore. It has the same flagship-class SoC as the Pixel 7, the Google Tensor G2. The big upgrade this year is the 90Hz display, which puts the 7a on par with the Pixel 7. The 7a also upgrades to the same camera boot as the Pixel 7: a 64MP primary sensor and a 13MP wide-angle one. The phone also gets 5W wireless charging.
So, if it all costs $500, why would you upgrade to a $600 Pixel 7? Well, you get a slightly larger screen at 6.3 inches versus the Pixel 7a’s 6.1 inches. You’ll also get 2GB more RAM, 8GB instead of the advertised 6GB on the Pixel 7a, and 20W wireless charging instead of the 5W on the Pixel 7a. There are conflicting reports about the size of the Pixel 7a’s battery, but they’re all slightly taller than the Pixel 7’s more expensive 4,355mAh battery.
The report also states that the Google I/O launch will take place on May 10th, so it’s potentially less than a month away.
