Google’s I/O conference 2023 is scheduled to take place. According to some reports, the company’s next mid-range phone and first foldable smartphone are expected to be unveiled at the event. However, a new rumor suggests that the latter will not be present at the conference. Regarding the Pixel 7a, the company appears to be getting ready to ship the device to retailers.
There are rumors that the Pixel 7a will significantly improve upon its predecessor. The phone is anticipated to feature new cameras, a better chipset, wireless charging support, a refresh rate higher than that of the Pixel 6a, and a slightly revised design.
Twitter insider SnoopyTech, who is known for retail spills, says that retail locations will begin getting the Pixel 7a in the following 14 days. This does not imply that the device will be made available anytime soon. It simply indicates that the business is preparing for launch.
Android smartphones are typically delivered to retailers before their official release date to give retailers time to prepare. Therefore, this merely serves as additional confirmation that the phone will be released next month.
However, the Pixel Fold might require us to wait a little while longer. SnoopyTech infers that no plans are being made for the bendable telephone. It proposes we will probably not see it at any point shortly. This gels with talk that said the telephone’s delivery had been moved back to October, consequently we are bound to see it during the Pixel 8 send-off occasion.
The Pixel 7a is expected to be available in white, gray, and light blue, but one rumor (Jade) suggested that it might also come in green. Since SnoopyTech has hinted that the green color will not be available, it appears that the rumor was untrue.
The Pixel 6a was first shown off on May 11, 2022, but it wasn’t released until July 28. However, if today’s rumor is accurate, the Pixel 7a will be available for purchase shortly after the May announcement.
