HIGHLIGHTS
* The Google Pixel 7a smartphone has appeared in another leak.
* This time it’s supposedly the phone’s unboxing images along with its colour options.
* The Google Pixel 7a has also appeared on the benchmarking website Geekbench ahead of its expected launch.
As the Pixel 7a launch draws near, a set of leaked images have emerged featuring the device in its retail packaging, as well as in grey and blue colour variants. SnoopyTech—a popular leaker, shared the images, which showcase the phone’s design similarities with the vanilla Pixel 7, released in October 2022, featuring the Tensor G2 chipset.
The images also reveal that the Pixel 7a will feature a dual-camera setup, consisting of a new 64-megapixel primary camera and a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens. The retail box packaging hints that—like its predecessors—the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, the Pixel 7a will not include a charging adapter in the box, which has now become the norm.
Additionally, the Pixel 7a will be available in a new blue colourway, a first for a Pixel phone. The muted blue shade is similar in intensity to the Lemon Grass colour of the Pixel 7 and exudes a subtle and calming sky blue vibe.
More renders of the Pixel 7a have also surfaced online—showcasing the phone in a Coral colourway, reminiscent of the Pixel 4 and 4XL. Moreover, a recent report by MySmartPrice revealed that the Pixel 7a was spotted on a GeekBench listing—further confirming that the phone will be equipped with the Tensor G2 SoC—the same processor that powers the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. The listing suggests that the phone could feature 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
With a plethora of leaks emerging in various forms, including the alleged retail packaging, it appears likely that the Pixel 7a may launch during the upcoming Google I/O 2023—scheduled for next month in May.
The Google Pixel 7a smartphone is expected to launch this month at the company’s 1/0 developer conference on May 10th. There’s already a ton of information leaked on the upcoming Pixel phone and there’s more that have been reported recently.
This time it’s the phone’s design and colours that have appeared in what’s believed to be unboxing images of the Pixel 7a. We also have its Geekbench scores giving us an idea on what to expect from its performance.
Google Pixel 7a Colours, Design (Expected)
Leaked images of what appears to be the Pixel 7a along with its retail box were shared by tipster SnoopyTech on Twitter. Here, we can see two colour options of the Pixel 7a and these are black and a light blue.
Speaking about the design, it looks quite like the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro with a punch-hole camera at the top-centre of the display, and the pill-shaped camera module.
The smartphone was recently leaked in a bright orange colour and it’s expected to come in grey too. So it looks like there might be a total of four colour options for the Pixel 7a. Other than that we can see a charging cable inside the box which will most likely come sans the adapter.
Google Pixel 7a Geekbench Scores
Google Pixel 7a was spotted on the benchmarking website Geekbench revealing key specifications of the phone. The smartphone is spotted with the in-house Tensor G2 processor which also powers the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. It runs Android 13 out-of-the-box, and packs 8GB of RAM. The smartphone has a single-core score of 1,380 and a multi-core score of 3,071.
What’s in the Box?
The photos also show us the straightforward packaging that the Google Pixel 7a is going to come in. As with recent models like the Google pixel 6a, don’t expect there to be a power adapter in the box – you’ll need to buy one separately.
That images like these are appearing now suggests a launch is close. All the signs are that Google is going to announce the phone at the Google I/O 2023 which gets underway with a keynote presentation on May 10.
Google Pixel 7a Specifications (Expected)
As for the rest of the specifications, let’s take a look at what we know so far.

* Processor: As mentioned above the smartphone will be powered by the Tensor G2 chipset.
* RAM and storage: There’s no confirmation on how many variants the Pixel 7a will be available in but we expect it to offer 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of onboard storage along with UFS 3.1.
* Cameras: Cameras will be the highlight of this phone and what’s expected is a 64MP rear camera with OIS and a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens. Up front, there could be a 10.8MP selfie camera.
* Battery and charging: The Google Pixel 7a is rumoured to house a 4.400mAh battery with up to 72 hours of backup. It is said to support up to 20W wired charging and come with wireless charging as well.
