The summer of 2023 will be more interesting than usual, when the Google Pixel 7a launches. Although early spring and fall are usually hot spots for major phone launches. Super product Google Pixel 7a will beat Galaxy Z Fold 4 or Galaxy Z Flip 4 expected to be announced in August 2023.
You might think it’s a bit early to judge a phone that could be out for about eight months or so and hasn’t even been announced yet. What we will see in 2023 – from Galaxy S23 to the OnePlus 11, iPhone 15 and Pixel 8 – nothing excites Google fans like the Pixel A series.
It all depends on the price of the Pixel 7a
In 2021, Google raised the price for the Pixel 5a to $449, which surprised some. Before the release of the Pixel 6a, many people worried that Google would raise the price, just like Apple did with the iPhone SE (2022). After all, the Pixel 6a will use the same Tensor G1 chip found in the Pixel 6.
Finally, the Pixel 6a has launched for $449. Besides, Tensor silicon, dual camera and new design have made the new budget phone extremely attractive. In fact, I think it’s one of the best phones of the year, on par with iPhone 14 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro.
Google would lose some of the gains if it raised the price of the Pixel 7a, though such a move could certainly happen at a time when costs are soaring. However, as long as the phone maker keeps the price under $500, the Pixel 7a will be as great a product as the Pixel 6a.
Pixel 7a and Tensor G2 . Chip
Google has made some improvements to the new Tensor G2 chipset introduced in the Pixel 7 series. G2 isn’t just more powerful – the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powers many Android phones and is smarter than the silicon generation. Google’s first. Tensor allows Pixel 7 to do crazy things like Photo Unblur, Active Stabilization, and Night Sight faster.
Maybe Google will use Tensor G2 for Pixel 7a while Pixel 8 has Tensor G3 chipset later this year. Assuming the price stays the same, that would make the Pixel 7a the most powerful Android phone at this price point for a long time. Sure, the iPhone SE (2022) with the A15 Bionic will still be more powerful at its $429 starting price, but it has significant shortcomings compared to what the Pixel 7a can offer, such as the lack of a super-angle lens. wide or dedicated night mode.
Pixel 7a using Tensor G2 Chip will be a phone under $500 that will bring great success to Google.
Upgraded camera on Pixel 7a
Another big appeal of the A-series Pixels is the imaging capabilities you get for the low price. Google has done a great job delivering Pixel A series Camera performance that is on par with some of the flagship smartphones.
The Pixel 6a is no different with its 12.2MP main sensor and 12MP ultra-wide, which delivers some decent photos on par with phones that cost hundreds of dollars more. Thanks to Tensor G1, the Pixel 6a can handle a lot of numbers to deliver images with amazingly accurate colors, solid nighttime performance, and software tricks like Magic Eraser.
You can fully expect the Pixel 7a to wow us like the Pixel 6a did. The addition of Tensor G2 will give the new phone access to the Pixel 7’s Photo Unblur feature.
In my opinion, the Pixel 7a’s camera will be a big challenge to the Galaxy S23, iPhone 14 and every other mid- to low-range flagship in 2023.
Hope for Pixel 7a
Google may announce a new version at Google I/O, its annual developer conference – that’s the first time we’ve seen the Pixel 6a. The event will take place in May 2023, so we may only have a few months to wait to find out about the next low-cost Pixel.
Pixel 7a just needs to hit the affordable price point, chipset and battery life and it will be a hit in the mid-range smartphone village.
