Google Pixel 7a

The Google Pixel 7a was revealed at Google I/O 2023 alongside the Pixel Fold and Pixel Tablet. It hosts similar hardware and capabilities as the more spec'd out Pixel 7, but for $100 less at launch. The Pixel 7a improves upon the previous generation of budget-friendly Pixel phone, the Pixel 6a. The external construction of the Pixel 7a uses recycled glass and plastics for the screen and back cover, and offers a new coral color option.

The Pixel 7a is available according to the following model numbers:

• GWKK3 (4G, 5G SA/NSA/Sub6)
• GHL1X (4G, 5G SA/NSA/Sub6)
• G0DZQ (4G, 5G SA/NSA/Sub6/mmWave - Verizon only)
• G82U8 (4G, 5G SA/NSA/Sub6)

The color options are Charcoal, Snow, Sea, and Coral—unique to this Pixel.

The base of the SIM tray has your phone's IMEI number, which you can look up on Google's Find My Device page.

The camera bar along the back of the phone matches the color of the frame and single-tone back cover, unlike previous models. The screen is 6 in (15.24 cm) tall and 2.8 in (7.11 cm) wide, with a single hole-punch cutout for the front-facing camera. While the Pixel 7a strongly resembles the Pixel 7, you can identify a Pixel 7a by its composite plastic back cover, narrower camera bar, and lack of a microphone hole near the flash.
