The release of Google Pixel 7a is expected this spring. Among the many leaks that have emerged in the last period, an entire photographic set has gone unnoticed and has only recently begun to bounce on the web, dedicated to the Google smartphone.
From what we see in the photo, the aesthetic aspect of the smartphone is almost identical to that of the older brother Google Pixel 7. As we can see from one of the images in the gallery, among other things, the memory allocation will be identical to that of the Pixel 7. There will be 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB storage memory on the device.
Among the novelties there should be the latest SoC Tensor G2 a 5nm processor which, thanks to the new generation TPU G2, has allowed the Mountain View giant to make progress in the field of machine learning (here we talked about some exclusive features developed by Google for its range of Pixel smartphones equipped with Tensor processors).
The only significant update of the G2 socket concerns the replacement of the two Cortex-A76 cores at 2.25GHz with two A78 at 2.35GHz. On the GPU front, the Tensor G2 has a Mali-G710 MP07 which, despite the lower number of shader cores compared to the Mali-G78 MP20 of the previous model, has a new, more performing architecture.
The new TPU promises a 60% performance increase in machine learning with a 20% reduction in consumption. Regarding the display, the Pixel 7a should mount a 90Hz panel, thus marking Google’s abandonment of 60Hz in this price range.
