When it comes to the Pixel A series, Google’s release dates have been somewhat inconsistent. The Pixel 3a launched in May 2019, while the Pixel 4a and 5a hit the market in August, and the Pixel 6a was released in July. This erratic release schedule has made it difficult to predict when the Pixel 7a will launch, but a recent leak suggests it might arrive earlier than expected.
A new leak points to an early release
A reliable tipster known as SnoopyTech on Twitter has claimed that the Pixel 7a will reach retail stores in the next two weeks. This implies that the phone may be available for sale within the next few weeks as well. Considering that Google I/O is scheduled for May 10, it seems plausible that the company might unveil the phone during that week.
If this information is accurate, the Pixel 7a’s launch would be slightly ahead of previous expectations. Some leaks had suggested a June release for the phone. However, a leaked product roadmap has lent support to the idea that the device might debut around the time of Google I/O.
Color options for the Pixel 7a
Another detail from the leak is that there may not be a fourth “Jade” color option for Google’s upcoming A series device. If this is true, it seems that black, white, and blue will be the available colorways for the Pixel 7a. As always, it’s essential to take leaks and rumors with a grain of caution, but if the Pixel 7a does indeed launch earlier than anticipated, it will be an exciting development for fans of Google‘s affordable smartphone line.
