We’re anticipating to see a Google Pixel 7a arrive within the coming months, assuming Google sticks to its normal schedule of placing out mid-range handsets in between flagships – and the telephone simply bought talked about on Amazon.

As reported by GSMArena (opens in new tab), the retail website is letting customers join updates on the Google Pixel 7a announcement, which might counsel that the system is certainly on the best way and will seem sooner slightly than later.

We do not get any details about the Pixel 7a or any photographs of it – and there is no actual indication that Amazon has bought any advance particulars of the handset – but it surely appears unlikely that you’d have the opportunity to join updates on a telephone that does not exist.

Cellphone households

One thing value noting is that the Amazon website mentions a “household” of merchandise – does that imply that multiple Pixel 7a system is on the best way? We have not seen that for this telephone vary because the Google Pixel 3a XL again in 2019.

Rumors across the Pixel 7a have been fairly skinny on the bottom up so far. There was one point out of a extra compact, mid-range telephone within the works at Google, but it surely’s not sure that the handset in query is definitely the Pixel 7a.

We noticed the Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7 Professional get their large reveal earlier this month, and all of the indications are {that a} Google Pixel eight goes to reach subsequent yr. The Google Pixel 7a would subsequently match neatly within the center.

Evaluation: getting the timing proper

Assuming a Pixel 7a is certainly on the best way, it is going to be attention-grabbing to see what Google does by way of timing. The previous may give us some indication: the Google Pixel 5 was introduced in September 2020, and was adopted by the Google Pixel 5a within the August of the next yr.

Then we bought the Google Pixel 6 in October 2021, and the Google Pixel 6a in Might 2021 – the latter telephone was truly unveiled on the Google IO 2022 occasion, so we should always maybe expect the Google Pixel 7a to indicate up at Google IO 2023.

Contemplating that the provision chain was so considerably disrupted by the worldwide pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the Pixel 6a is maybe a greater indicator of timing slightly than the Pixel 5a (which solely launched within the US and Japan, remember).

The Pixel 7 smartphones have been proven off in full in October of this yr, so maybe Might 2023 is the time when the Pixel 7a is most definitely to indicate up. Google hasn’t introduced any dates for IO 2023 but, however there’s little doubt that it’ll occur – and we’ll in fact be overlaying it in depth as normal.
