With Google Pixel 7A moving closer and closer to launch, a new leak cycle for the upcoming mid-range phone has started to ramp up. We recently got a leak confirming the pricing details of the phone. And if that may not have been that exciting for you, the info shared new leak will be!
So, the new leak suggests that the Google Pixel 7A will be Google’s first phone to come with Face Unlock feature. Yes, in case you didn’t know, Google did not introduce the feature with the A series of smartphones. To be exact, even the standard Pixel 6 did not come with. Therefore, it would feel great to finally see the feature in a budget-centric device.
Google to Amp up the Security Game of the Pixel 7A
The Pixel A series has always stuck with fingerprint sensors to supplement the usual PIN/Pattern unlock options. But Google Pixel 6A took the technology to the next level last year by integrating an under-display fingerprint sensor. And with the Pixel 7A, Google will supposedly take things to the next level.

So, the leak comes from SnoopyTech, a tipster who is known to be very reliable. The leakster shared some blurry screenshots of the Pixel 7A, showcasing the “Face & Fingerprint Unlock” feature. In other words, the screenshots suggest that the phone will come with the Face Unlock feature.
Presumably, the Face Unlock feature of the Pixel 7A would work in the same manner as it does on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. On those, the front-facing camera’s dual-pixel nature ensures that the phone sees a 3D face instead of a 2D picture of the user. As a result, no one can bypass the unlocking mechanism through a picture of the owner.
Nonetheless, if these images are to be believed, the Google Pixel 7A will be the first affordable pixel phone to come with Face Unlock. And it goes without saying that the feature will surely make the phone more secure.
