2/5 Google Pixel 6a retains the same dual 12MP rear cameras as the Pixel 4a. Despite the old camera sensors, the Pixel 6a impresses with its still photography capabilities, especially at night. The selfie camera is equally good and full of smart features. Video recording is decent but not as good as the iPhone SE. (Amritanshu / HT Tech)

Google's yearly developer's conference, Google I/O 2023 is just a month away! According to the schedule, Google will kick off the event on May 10 by announcing some new gadgets as well as the next Android 14 OS. The affordable smartphone Google Pixel 7a is one of the most eagerly awaited announcements at the event. Also, thanks to the rumour mills, much of what will be packed on to Google Pixel 7a may have been outed. Here's what all you need to know.

Google Pixel 7a Design

So far, several leaked images and CAD renders have surfaced online suggesting that Google Pixel 7a will take the cues from the main Pixel 7 design. 9to5Google says that Pixel 7a may get a full metal camera frame with cutouts for a dual camera setup at the rear. However, whether will there be any change in the material used as a part of cost-cutting or not is still unknown.

The report also suggests that the Pixel 7a will feature a 6.1-inch AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. This will be a big boost from Pixel 6a's 60Hz display. It also says that it will get an in-display fingerprint scanner.
