Google Pixel 7a specifications (expected)
Google Pixel 7a specifications will build on the predecessor. The phone will have the same 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display but with a 90Hz refresh rate this time. The phone will retain the same Tensor G2 chipset coupled with 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage. The phone will likely run on Android 13 OS out of the box.

Should you buy Pixel 6a or wait for Pixel 7a?
With less than a month’s time for the Pixel 7a launch in the country, those who are planning to buy the Pixel should definitely wait for the 6a successor. This is especially considering the higher screen refresh rate, probably a bigger-sized battery to compensate for the higher refresh rate, and a bigger 64MP camera, which should definitely deliver better quality images in comparison to the predecessor.
With Tensor G2 on board, the performance should be improved especially during multitasking and gaming. This will be aided by the LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. All these upgrades should definitely make up for the rumoured price hike by $50 in comparison to the predecessor.
