We’re expecting extensive leaks for Google phones, but the latest is probably the most unusual of all. YouTubers PBK reviews has shared its latest teardown video focusing on the Google Pixel 7a, a phone that’s expected to be announced at Google I/O’s annual developer conference next week.
As is usual with these videos, the first step is to remove the SIM tray and pry up the back. The good news is that the Pixel 7a can be disassembled from both the front and back, which means a screen repair won’t require a nearly complete teardown of the phone. The Pixel 7a features a plastic back that looks almost identical to the regular Pixel 7.
Going deeper we can see the wireless charging coil and the NFC antenna. There’s a 4,385mAh battery underneath them that comes with its own tabs for easier removal. The motherboard houses a 64MP main cam with OIS, a 13MP ultrawide module and a 13MP selfie cam on the opposite side.

The charging port is soldered to the main board. Pixel 7a gets a repairability score of 7.5/10 which surpasses the repairability scores of Pixel 7 (6/10) and Pixel 7 Pro (5.5/10).
