Only eight days remain until the start of Google's I/O developer conference. Some of the fans are impatiently waiting for new information about the Android 14 operating system or other technological matters. Others, on the other hand, are looking forward to the launch of the more affordable Pixel 7A phone, which will close the Pixel 7 series. Rumors about this model have been circulating on the web for a long time and will probably continue until the conference. But today's news probably won't be the best.
The title of the article already suggests what the bad news is about. Yes, it is the end of the cheaper "A" models, and the Pixel 7A will probably be the last one. Well-known tipster Yogesh Brar reports on Twitter at least . They claim that the specifications of the "A" model have become so close to regular models that it is no longer worth producing them. But it is also about the selling price. For the Pixel 7A model, tipsters estimate it at $499, and the Pixel 7 model costs $599. It can therefore be said that the "A" model is no longer as affordable as before. In addition, it is said that he would soon be on par with his siblings in terms of price.
For the above reasons, according to the tipster, we will not see the Pixel 8A. But he adds that Google will likely go the route of releasing a standard Pixel model and a Pixel Pro model. One foldable phone will be added to them every year. If the tipster's reasoning is correct, Google's portfolio will lack a mid-range phone, which will be replaced by the Pixel 7A for the last time this year.
But it is true that every year the parameters of the phones with the A designation got closer to their "full-fat" brothers. After all, this year's Pixel 7A has the same Tensor G2 processor as its siblings, but it is slightly overclocked. But according to the results of the Geekbench benchmark tests, I have comparable performance to the chipset of the Pixel 7. This again confirms that the differences in specifications are narrowing. Time will tell how Google ultimately decides, and it is possible that they will alert us to this change in strategy already at their developer conference.
