Google Pixel 7a leaks in a blurry hands-on video, 90 Hz refresh rate confirmed

According to a recent leaked Google smartphone launch roadmap, the Pixel 7a should become official "around April or May" - most likely the announcement will take place at the company's annual developer conference called I/O, which happens in May.
