Google has already introduced the flagship Pixel 7 series of smartphones (pictured), so now everything is in anticipation
What to expect
So, most likely, the Pixel 7a is hiding undercodename Lynx, some information about which is already known. And if this is confirmed, then the smartphone will be much closer to a flagship than its predecessors, which were content with inexpensive materials and simplified characteristics.
Firstly, the new product must have a processorTensor G2, like the Pixel 7. Secondly, some rumors talk about the use of a ceramic body. If so, it would be a big deal for the Pixel line, as up until now Google has been using plastic, glass, and metal for its phones. This move to ceramics would be especially bold for the Pixel A series, which until now has been mostly plastic, as ceramic is often considered a premium material.
Thirdly, another notable advancement will be wireless charging. In mid-priced models, this is still the exception and not the rule.
But the real highlight has to be the update.camera sensors. According to leaks, the Pixel 7a will have a 50 MP Samsung GN1 sensor, which debuted in the Pixel 6 series, a 64 MP Sony IMX787 and a 13 MP Sony IMX712 telephoto lens. While the ultra-wide-angle camera first appeared in the Pixel A series with the Pixel 4a 5G, the telephoto camera has until now remained exclusive to the flagship Pixels. In fact, for the last 2 years, the telephoto lens has only been available on the “Pro” variants of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 7. Notably, this telephoto lens outperforms even the Samsung GM5 sensor (½.55, 48MP) in the Pixel 7 Pro—at least on paper.
