Google’s “a” series rumors have been circulating since the October announcement of the Google Pixel 7. The majority of them mention Pixel 7a. We now know what the Pixel 7a will look like thanks to OnLeaks and Smartprix.
Google Pixel 7a rumors: Design
The 7a will be equipped with two camera sensors, LED flash, and the same color-coordinated side frames and metallic design as the Pixel 7. However, the Pixel 7a’s front bezels appear to be fairly thick in the renders, making this the most noticeable change. in particular on the chin.
Pixel 7a’s measurements are 152.4 x 72.9 x 9.0 without the bump. This phone will be available in two colors, white and grey.
Google Pixel 7a rumors: Display
The Google Pixel 7a will have a 6.1” FHD+ display from Samsung with a 90Hz refresh rate which is a major upgrade over the previous year’s Pixel 6a. This phone will compete fiercely in the midrange smartphone market.
Google Pixel 7a rumors: Performance/Chipset
The Google Pixel 7a is equipped with Tensor G2 Processor which is expected to provide performance to the Pixel 7a. While there isn’t a significant performance increase over the first-generation Tensor chip, there are some considerable improvements in the graphics and machine learning fields.
Google Pixel 7a rumors: Cameras
This information comes from developer Kuba Wojciechowski, who also went into the camera drivers and discovered that the Pixel 7a’s camera arrangement is known as the “Pixel 22 Mid-range.”
GN1, IMX787, and IMX712 sensors were reportedly used in the Pixel 7a’s rear camera configuration, which was given the codename “lynx.” However, the GN1 sensor is no longer included in the code, leaving only the “l10 wide” (IMX787) and “l10 UW” sensors (IMX712). Accordingly, the main camera of the Pixel 7a will employ an IMX787 sensor, while the ultrawide camera will use an IMX712 sensor.
The Pixel 7a has two back cameras, just like the Pixel 6a, but the primary camera on the 7a has a superior sensor (IMX363 vs. IMX787), which should result in better pictures.

There are no updates regarding the 3.5mm headphone jack in the Pixel 7a which was removed from the Pixel 6a. The Pixel 7a will include an in-display fingerprint sensor for security.
