The Pixel 7a is shaping up to be a mid-range behemoth. The phone promises to improve on the Pixel 6a by tackling the phone's biggest weaknesses by upgrading the screen and camera, and adding wireless charging. On paper, the unreleased phone looks so good it will make upgrading to the larger Pixel 7 and 7 Pro a tough sell. So surely Google can justify raising the price just a little bit?

9to5Google's Max Weinbach says he has a fixed price for the Pixel 7a, and it's $499. That's a $50 increase over the Pixel 6a at $449, but justifiable considering all the upgrades. The report also states that Google will continue to sell the Pixel 6a "at a discount", which would make a great phone an even better deal.

We called the Pixel 7a "mid-range", but that's probably not what this phone is anymore. It has the same flagship-class SoC as the Pixel 7, the Google Tensor G2. A big upgrade this year is a 90Hz display, which brings the 7a in line with the Pixel 7. The 7a also moves to the same camera loadout as the Pixel 7: a 64MP main sensor and 13MP wide-angle. . The phone also benefits from 5W wireless charging.

So if all this costs $500, why would you upgrade to the $600 Pixel 7? Well, you'll get a slightly larger screen - 6.3 inches compared to the Pixel 7a's 6.1 inches. You'll also get 2GB more RAM, 8GB instead of the Pixel 7a's supposed 6GB, and 20W wireless charging instead of the Pixel 7a's 5W. There are conflicting reports on the Pixel 7a's battery size, but all are a bit higher than the more expensive Pixel 7's 4355mAh battery.

The report also says to expect a launch on Google I/O on May 10th, so it's potentially less than a month away.
