- There’s a Google Pixel 7a prototype for sale on eBay.
- The phone only boots into fastboot mode and is missing its SIM tray.
- As of publishing, the winning bid is at $2,550.
We expect Google to launch the next phone in its budget-minded A-series on May 10 during the Google I/O 2023 keynote. However, if you can’t wait until then, you could spend a few thousand bucks on the next best thing.
Over on eBay (spotted by Steve Hemmerstoffer), you can bid on a Google Pixel 7a prototype. The device powers on but goes straight into fastboot mode rather than the Android operating system. It is also missing its physical SIM tray for some reason. It is unclear how the seller nabbed this prototype.
