According to new leaks, the Pixel 7a is going to get a key feature that was missing from the Pixel 6a: face unlocking. Here we know.
With Google I/O 2023 fast approaching, the rumor train for the next budget Pixel device—the Pixel 7a—has gathered pace. While it’s reportedly going to be an incremental upgrade to the Pixel 6a, the phone is expected to come with a second-generation Tensor SoC called the Tensor G2, and now, according to leaker Snoopy Tech, the Pixel 7a is expected to come with a SoC. Gonna get the main feature the Pixel 6a didn’t have: face unlocking.
We’ll take this with a grain of salt for now as it’s not confirmed yet, but it’s more than likely that the feature will come considering the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro already ship with the Face Unlock feature. will include
However, it should be noted that despite having face unlock, the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro do not allow the use of facial unlocking when working with security-sensitive apps including bank apps and when entering passwords. For those, you need to use the more secure in-display fingerprint scanner.
This could be the same case for the Pixel 7a, as it’s slated to offer more secure face unlock, similar to something like the Pixel 4 series – with infrared scanning – thanks to the presence of more robust face scanning hardware.
As for the rest of the specifications, the Pixel 7a is expected to get a 6.1-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with 90Hz refresh rate, and come with a dual-camera setup that includes a main wide lens and a secondary ultrawide unit.
Based on the leaked renders, the phone could also offer relatively symmetrical bezels, reducing the chin and increasing the overall screen-to-body ratio. As for the price, the leak points to a sticker price of $499, which would represent a $50 price hike from the Pixel 6a’s $449 price tag.
