The stage is set for the arrival of the Google Pixel 7a in less than two weeks. We've got a likely announcement date — it's widely expected the phone is going to show up at Google I/O 2023 on May 10 — and leaked Pixel 7a specs that give us a pretty good idea of what to expect from the new handset. We even have renders showing off some possible colors.
But most importantly, we have a Pixel 7a rival that's set a marker for what Google's phone will have to do to win out as the best cheap phone for less than $500.
