TheGoogle Pixel 7a’sarrival is barely a secret at this point. Google India pretty much confirmed the launchfor May 11, a day after the phone is rumored to be unveiled atGoogle I/O 2023. Just a week out from the phone’s release — which will reportedly be available in aSky Blue version— a series of images has revealed the possible release of thePixel Buds A-Seriesin that same color to match the Pixel 7a.
Marketing images showing Google’s budget-ranged earbuds in Sky Blue were obtained by German tech siteWinFuture. The publication clarified that this is merely a newer color of the existing Pixel Buds A-Series and not a full-blown upgrade.
Given that Google loves to offer pre-order or early bird bonuses, it’s certainly possible that the Sky Blue Pixel 7a and the new Sky Blue Pixel Buds A-Series will be bundled, possibly at a discount. For those interested in purchasing the earbuds standalone, we don’t see Google straying from the $99 price tag for the Pixel Buds A-Series in the new colorway.
Unlike past editions, this year’s Google I/O will only take place on a single day, i.e., May 10. To make the schedule easier to follow, the company is dividing the day into four sections — mobile, web, AI, and cloud. As for mobile, Google is almost certain to unwrap the Pixel 7a, as we’ve already touched on above, but rumors indicate that we will also be treated to thePixel Fold’slaunch.
In the meantime, you can already pick up the two-year old earbuds in their boring old colorways if you don’t care for Sky Blue.
Google Pixel Buds A-Series
The Pixel Buds A-Series are Google’s midrange true wireless earbuds. They don’t have high-end features like ANC or multipoint connectivity, but for $99, they offer good audio quality and a comfortable, lightweight fit. They also have a unique vented design that mitigates in-ear pressure and lets in some environmental sound for better situational awareness.
