The FCC website has published information about a new smartphone from Google. In all likelihood, this would be the Pixel 7a, which should launch in the next few months.
This year should be a particularly busy one for Google in the area of smartphones and tablets. In addition to the classic Pixel 8 and 8 Pro expected in the fall, the firm should officially launch its Pixel Tablet, but it’s also expected to power up its first foldable smartphone, the Pixel Fold. Suffice to say that it could be a pivotal year for the company.

Like previous iterations of the “A” range, it should have a slightly slower chip, but still enjoy excellent image quality, on par with higher-end models. The smartphone has also already been leaked with 3D renders, information about wireless charging or the photosensor and even a potential telephoto lens, a first for a Google Pixel A smartphone.
