Shockingly, the Pixel 7a will probably look a lot like the Pixel 6a

<p>If history is anything to go on, Google won’t announce the next entry in its Pixel A series until I/O 2023. That means we could be waiting as much as six months before the company is ready to share any substantial information on the device. Of course, that’s not stopping the rumor mill from getting an early start on leaking details about the Pixel 7a.</p><p>Over on Smartprix (https://www.smartprix.com/bytes/google-pixel-7a-first-look-revealed/) (via XDA Developers (https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-7a-first-look/)), Steve Hemmerstoffer of OnLeaks fame (https://twitter.com/OnLeaks) has shared early renders of the upcoming device. Unsurprisingly, the images suggest the Pixel 7a will look a lot like its predecessor and Google’s 2022 flagships (https://www.engadget.com/google-pixel-7-and-pixel-7-pro-review-still-the-best-bargain-in-flagship-phones-170031940.html). According to Smartprix, the dimensions of the new device are nearly identical to the Pixel 6a, with the former reportedly coming in at 10.1mm thick at the camera bump. The phone also looks to feature relatively thin bezels, a not-so-prominent chin and a center display cutout for the selfie camera.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><figure><img src="https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2022-11/ba346220-7016-11ed-affc-78eeaf548e7d" style="height:1200;width:1600;" alt="Pixel 7a" data-uuid="8ce3ebb0-8dd8-3686-96ea-87cc82d5b156"><figcaption></figcaption><div class="photo-credit">Steve Hemmerstoffer</div></figure><p>Notably, the renders indicate the Pixel 7a will feature a SIM tray on its left side, suggesting – at least for the time being – Google won’t follow Apple’s decision to go all in on eSIM (https://www.engadget.com/apple-iphone-14-sim-card-195422014.html). Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the search giant has decided to bring back the headphone jack; the analog port is nowhere to be found on the Pixel 7a.</p><p>The more interesting aspects of the Pixel 7a may be features that don’t show up in renders. According to Smartprix, the phone is likely to feature a 90Hz display from Samsung and an upgraded main camera sensor from Sony. It could also be the first Pixel A series phone to feature wireless charging. That's about all we know about the device at the moment. However, we’re certain to get a fuller picture of the Pixel 7a as more information leaks, or when Google decides to get ahead of the rumor mill like it did with the Pixel 4 (https://www.engadget.com/2019-06-12-google-pixel-4-camera-official-leak.html).</p>
