A few days ago, we reported about how Google has already started working on the Pixel 8 Series. Before that, the brand is all set to launch the third device in the existing Pixel 7 Series. Google Pixel 7a has been confirmed via a hands-on video that has surfaced online. The smartphone is expected to launch during April or May, most probably during the Google I/O that takes place in May. Since 2023 has already begun, details about the specs of Google Pixel 7a have started popping up in the tech world.

The recently tipped hands-on video has confirmed some specs and design details about the device.

Hands-on video

The blurry hands-on-video has seemingly originated from Vietnam. While some leaked renders have already shown that the design will be similar to the other Pixel 7 devices, the front is where the difference is visible. The front of the smartphone that is seen in the video has thick bezels around the screen.

The toggle shown in settings has confirmed that the Pixel 7a will have a 90Hz refresh rate and dual SIM support. Past reports claimed that the Pixel 7a will sport an FHD+ display, dual rear cameras, wireless charging (5W), and an in-display fingerprint sensor. More will be known about the specs as the month of launch gets closer.
