Google just can’t seem to keep its devices under wraps. A number of previous Pixel phones leaked at length prior to launch, and the Pixel 7a is no different. We’ve seen the device’s official renders, hands-on video, eBay listings, and more. Well, now, we get the best look at the phone yet as the Pixel 7a appeared in a lengthy YouTube video.
A lengthy pre-launch video shows us the Pixel 7a in detail, along with its camera samples
This video has been published by the ‘munchy’ YouTube channel, and at the time of writing this article, it was still live. The video itself has a duration of around 16 minutes, and it contains a lot of information.
The YouTuber managed to get ahold of the Arctic Blue model of the phone. He talks about the device in the video quite a bit, weighs the phone, and you can even check out a bunch of camera samples too.
The device is both wider and taller than the Pixel 6a, despite the fact it has the same display size. It’s also considerably heavier at 193 grams, compared to 178 grams of the Pixel 6a.
The YouTuber confirms that the phone has a 90Hz panel too, and that it packs in 8GB of RAM. The Tensor G2 SoC is also confirmed here, as is a 4,300mAh battery. So, the device has a slightly smaller battery than the Pixel 6a, despite the fact its display has a higher refresh rate.
Face Unlock is also confirmed in this video
We also get to see the Face Unlock feature confirmed in this video, as rumored. The camera samples you’ll see in the video are taken by a 64-megapixel camera, but that results in 16-megapixel images due to pixel-binning. You also get to check out some ultrawide shots.
These camera samples do look really nice, but that’s not a surprise. Even some older budget phones from the company still shoot great photos, such as the Pixel 4a, for example.
In any case, the Google Pixel 7a will become official on May 10, during the company’s Google I/O keynote. It is rumored to cost $499, and it will launch alongside the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet.
