Google Pixel 7a Tipped to Get Face Unlock Feature from Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro

Google is expected to launch a few smartphones soon. Among the highly anticipated devices, are the Pixel Fold and Pixel 7a handsets. While Pixel Fold is scheduled to be the tech giant’s first foldable smartphone, the Pixel 7a is expected to succeed the Pixel 6a and extend the Pixel 7 series that launched last year. Several leaks and reports have hinted at many key specifications and features of the upcoming Pixel device, a new leak suggests that the phone will feature an additional security feature over its predecessor.

According to screengrabs shared by reliable tipster SnoopyTech (@snoopytech) in a tweet, the Google Pixel 7a is expected to come with a Face Unlock feature, alongside the commonly used fingerprint sensor, for added security. Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro devices also feature the Face Unlock feature. Previous reports suggest that the Pixel 7a is expected to feature the same G2 Tensor chipset used in the 7-series phones.

The Google Pixel 7a is also likely to be priced at $499 (roughly Rs. 40,900) in the US, which is $50 (roughly Rs. 4,100) more than its predecessor, the Google Pixel 6a, that debuted last year. The price increment can reportedly be attributed to the use of better or seemingly superior raw materials.

The SoC, likely to be the second-generation Tensor chip, on the Pixel 7a will reportedly be paired with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone is likely to boot Android 13 OS out-of-the-box.

Google Pixel 7a could be offered in Charcoal, Snow, Sea (light blue), and Coral colour options — the last of which will seemingly be a Google Store exclusive. It is also likely to come with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX787 primary sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens and support 5W wireless charging. Expected to be unveiled on May 10 during the Google I/O event, the phone will likely go on sale immediately after launch.

Pixel 8 Pro Design Renders Surface Online With New Camera Layout, Additional Sensor: Details

Pixel 8 Pro — expected to make its debut later this year as part of the Pixel 8 series of smartphones — has leaked online. Just like last year, the design of Google’s purported flagship smartphone for 2023 could be teased at the company’s annual Google I/O event that will take place in May. Ahead of the event, a tipster has leaked renders of the Pixel 8 Pro that show off the handset’s design from various angles along with a slightly tweaked rear camera module.

Tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (Twitter: OnLeaks) in collaboration with Smartprix leaked the design renders of the Pixel 8 Pro. Google’s upcoming flagship phone is shown to feature a notable change to the rear camera setup. Unlike previous models, the camera sensors on the Pixel 8 Pro are now located in the same area, while the handset is also equipped with another sensor that is located to the right of the three cameras, under the LED flash. The functionality of this sensor remains unknown.

The Pixel 8 Pro is also shown to feature more rounded corners compared to its predecessor, and the handset will sport a flat 6.52-inch display with a centre-aligned hole punch cutout for the selfie camera, according to the report.

Just like the Pixel 7 Pro, the power and volume buttons are located on the right edge of the phone, while the speaker grille and USB Type-C port are on the bottom. Meanwhile, the smartphone will reportedly measure 162.6 × 76.5 × 8.7mm — while the thickness of the phone including camera module will be 12mm.

It is worth noting that Google is yet to officially reveal any details regarding plans to launch the Pixel 8 series of smartphones, which includes the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. These handsets are said to have been codenamed “Shiba” and “Husky”, and could be powered by a new SoC codenamed “Zuma”, which is being developed by Google and Samsung. Meanwhile, the company is expected to launch the Pixel 7a, a cheaper version of the Pixel 7, at the company’s Google I/O event on May 10.

Google Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro Display Specifications Tipped, May Sport Same Screens as Pixel 6 Series

Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro — Google’s upcoming flagship smartphones — display specifications have surfaced online, well ahead of the launch of the handsets later this year. The smartphones are tipped to feature the same displays as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro that debuted last year. The company teased its next generation handsets at the annual Google I/O developer conference earlier this month and revealed that they will be powered by an updated Tensor SoC, and will run on Android 13 out-of-the-box.

According to code in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) spotted by 9to5Google, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be equipped with the same Samsung displays as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, respectively. The display driver for the Pixel 7 which is codenamed Cheetah is tagged C10, while the driver for the Pixel 7 Pro codenamed Panther is tagged P10. Both files reveal the specifications of the upcoming handsets, according to the report.

Just like the Pixel 6, the upcoming Pixel 7 will sport a full-HD+ (1,080×2,400 pixels) display with a 90Hz refresh rate, as the code points to the use of Samsung’s S6E3FC3 panel. While the specifications of the display remain the same, the display is tipped to be slightly smaller than the Pixel 6 — with height and width lowered by 2mm and 1mm, respectively.

Meanwhile the Pixel 7 Pro will be equipped with the same QHD+ (1,440×3,120) pixels display with a 120Hz refresh rate — the same as the Pixel 6 Pro that was launched in 2021, using the same Samsung S6E3HC3 panel, according to Google’s driver code. Unlike the Pixel 7, the Pro model will offer the same screen size as its predecessor.

The drivers for the Pixel 7 Pro display also suggest that the high-end model could offer users the ability to display content in 1080p mode via a recently spotted setting on Android 13. While this will downgrade the viewing experience on the smartphone, it can help conserve battery — a feature offered on other smartphones with high-resolution displays. Meanwhile, Google is yet to officially reveal the complete specifications of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, ahead of their expected debut later this year.
