Pixel 7a to Launch on 11 May in India: Things you Should Know About the Upcoming Smartphone

On 11 May, the Pixel 7a will be released in India and will be sold on Flipkart. On 10 May at Google's I/O developer conference, the mid-range 5G phone will make its first official global announcement. Google released a teaser image of the phone to confirm a few things before the debut. Here are five details about the incoming Pixel 7a smartphone that are already known.

All the information we have on the Google Pixel 7a

The teaser picture shows that the Pixel 7a would still include a twin camera configuration on the rear. The Pixel 7a horizontal camera module on the back panel, which has appeared on several Pixel phones, will remain. It also resembles the Pixel 6a in specific ways. Given that the current design works well in its favour, Google is avoiding trying new things.

• There is no question that the mid-range 5G phone Pixel 7a will come pre-installed with Android 13 OS.

• The business won't include a charger with the Pixel 7a because it doesn't do so with its high-end smartphones.

• According to the rumours, Google's Tensor G2 processor will power the Pixel 7a, which is unsurprising given that the company started using it with the launch of the Pixel 6 series. The company uses a one-year-old flagship chipset for its Pixel A series phones. Tensor G2 was used when the Pixel 7 was released.

• Since we've seen punch-hole displays on all Android phones for the past several years, you may anticipate seeing one on the front of the Pixel 7a device.

The expected cost of the Pixel 7a in India

The cost will probably be exorbitant when the Pixel 7a is released on 11 May in India. Pixel 7a is anticipated to be in the sub-Rs 50,000 range. Recall that the Pixel 6a had a starting price of Rs 43,999 when it was first introduced in India.

A new phone's fate and sales figures are significantly influenced by price. Because of its features when it was first released, the Pixel 6a gave the impression that it was a somewhat costly phone, but when Google significantly reduced its price in India, it quickly became a huge hit. Just a few months after its launch, Flipkart sold this 5G phone for less than Rs 40,000, and a few months later, the cost fell to less than Rs 35,000. Google acknowledged that the Pixel 6a and Pixel 7 series smartphones contributed significantly to revenue growth.

According to reports, Google could sell it in the US for the same price as before or raise it by $49 to reflect inflation. The Pixel 6a was released at $449 (about Rs 36,700) on the global market.
