Developing the Pixel series to set an example for Android phones, Google expanded this series in recent years and introduced Pixel 3a. Bringing the Pixel experience and camera to users at an affordable price, 3a caused the company to increase its investments in the a series. In this direction, Google met with us with a new Pixel a device every year. The company, which attracted attention with the Pixel 6a it introduced in the past months, seems to attract much more attention with the Pixel 7a.Ceramic body and wireless charging support
The product, which is thought to have the Lynx code name, was displayed in Android codes with many details. It looks like Pixel 7a will have much higher-end features than previous a models. According to Digital Chat Station, Google will include the Tensor G2 processor and ceramic body in the new device. In addition, this device will be manufactured in China by Foxconn. If this claim is true, replacing the plastic used in the Pixel 6a with ceramic will give the device a much higher-end feel.
Another claim comes from Android data miner Kuba Wojciechowski. According to Kuba, the phone codenamed Lynx will have the P9222 wireless charging chip. This chip has only 5W power support, but the company will add wireless charging support to a Pixel a model for the first time.
high-end camera
Although Google attaches more importance to software in camera systems, the company’s use of a new sensor in the Pixel 6 series has greatly improved the camera performance of the devices. On the Pixel 6a device, the Pixel team, which includes the 12MP sensor used in the Pixel 2 device, will apparently say goodbye to this sensor at the end. The Pixel 7a is expected to feature the 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor we’ve seen in the last 2 years. 64MP Sony IMX787 telephoto and 13MP Sony IMX712 ultra-wide-angle sensors are specified as auxiliary sensors, but it does not sound realistic that the company does not use a telephoto lens on Pixel 7 and uses it on Pixel 7a. Pixel 7a, which is expected to be introduced in the spring of 2023, seems to take the a series higher than ever before. If Google makes user-friendly moves on price, Pixel 7a may be one of the most popular phones of next year.
