The tech giant will debut its first foldable phone, the Pixel Fold, at I/O, and it's also expected to finally make the Pixel Tablet official. We'll also see the launch of a new phone which is the Pixel 7a. This will be the affordable variant from the Pixel 7 series, and here's a detailed roundup on the upcoming smartphone. 

Google Pixel 7a launch date

Google has already announced that the Pixel 7a will launch in India on May 11th. The smartphone will be available exclusively via Flipkart. Since the Google I/O is starting on May 10th we'll most likely see an earlier reveal at the event.

The Google Pixel 7a will reportedly be priced at SGD 749 which translates to roughly Rs 46,000. This pricing is for the 128GB variant of the Pixel 7a. Google is expected to launch the Pixel 7a in more RAM and storage models.

• The smartphone is expected to feature a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate.

Google Pixel 7a design, colours

Google is expected to launch the Pixel 7a in as many as four colours. These colours are going to be called Charcoal, Blue, Snow and Coral.
