Google’s Pixel 7a launch isn’t far off, but should you wait for this mid-range phone or just buy the Pixel 7 now? This week we run through the big Pixel 7a rumours, including camera tech, battery and other specs, before Google I/O 2023 kicks off. That May 10 event is likely to be our first sighting of the budget handset, although the Pixel 7a could also be launched in the proceeding weeks ahead of the projected June release date.
Pricing should be similar to the 6a, which means you’ll save roughly £100 vs the Pixel 7.
UPDATE: Now Google has returned its flagship smartphone to the original £599 asking price here in the UK, making the Pixel 7a seem even more of a bargain if these specs are correct!
The main difference is that design, with a plastic finish replacing the glass and metal of the original phone. But once you squint at the internals, there’s little between this Google pair. The Pixel 7a should sport a slightly smaller OLED screen, now with 90Hz refresh. You’ll likely have a stereo speaker setup, plus the same Tensor G2 chipset – so gaming shouldn’t be a problem.
Likewise, the Pixel 7a will go toe to toe with its flagship sibling for camera tech, offering another 50MP Quad Bayer sensor and ultra-wide alternative.
So are you gonna wait for that fresh mid-range mobile? Let us know below!

UPDATE: Alright, so Google has just put the Pixel 7 price back up to £599, so if you're a bit low on cash, you have even more reason to wait for the 7a!

Dear uncle spurt,
Iphone fan says that their phone is superior than android.
Me: try make a 100 quid budget Apple phone first
Somehow nothing about this device grabs my interest. Did not expect that. And holy crap. I also had the HTC Universal but it was called QTEK 9000. QTEK later became HTC. This was a cool time. I had multiple HTC devices.
Mera Rishta chalega Bada do bhaiya
That celebration was epic. 🤣
Ayoo 🤨📸 the pic
😂that iphone se regurgitation reaction 😅
JUST WAIT. It's one month away jeez
Or, just buy the 6 Pro for the same price and have a crazy way better camera 🤷🏽♂️
If the 7a has wireless charging I might upgrade from the utter lies that is the original OnePlus Nord which to be fair has served me well but got the itch
Hey from Romanian Bucharest uncle spurt check Xiaomi 13ultra is a best I heard
Love the dry humour bits there
Pixel phones are B tier at best. More in line with Samsung A series
I do not understand why they only give 3 years of updates and not 10 or forever
Truth is " a " series pixel phones display are always bad though it is amoled but colour are not sharp and accurate
I shal remember this video review for the 'Bum Gravy' comment. Uncle Spurt is a gem. Better than most comedians on the BBC.
Do you know australian cricketer ashton agar?. You are exactly like him😁
You say about the Pixel 7a not being in Ceramic. OnePlus had the OnePlus X available in Ceramic at £269, but it was only limited to 10,000 units.
Should I upgrade from my OnePlus 3?
