Google Pixel 7a specifications (expected)

According to a report by 9to5Google, the Google Pixel 7a will come with a flagship camera, wireless charging, and much more in 2023. The phone may come powered by the same Tensor G2 chip which powers the Pixel 7 Pro, along with a ceramic body, a first for the Pixel lineup.

Among so many upgrades, users may also see the option for wireless charging this time in the upcoming Google Pixel-A series model. However, as per reports, the Google Pixel 7a’s wireless charging chip – P922 – will be only capable of 5W charging.

The tech giant may add a telephoto sensor to the device, making it the first smartphone in the Pixel A-series to boast this function. Interestingly, the vanilla Pixel 7 lacks this feature.
