The Pixel 7a is built with an aluminum frame, a plastic back and Gorilla Glass 3 for the screen. The design includes a metallic camera bar matching the frame. It has stereo loudspeakers, one located on the bottom edge and the other doubling as the earpiece. A USB-C port is used for charging and connecting other accessories. It is available in 4 colors: Sea, Charcoal, Coral (exclusive only color) and Snow.

The Pixel 7a uses the Google Tensor G2 system-on-chip, with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of non-expandable UFS 3.1 internal storage.
