The Pixel 7a is Google's next mid-ranger that will likely be offered at the same $450 price as its predecessor, the Pixel 6a. However, there is a rare opportunity for you to become the proud owner of an available prototype, assuming you will agree to the seller's asking price, which is nothing short of ridiculous.
Seller is asking a whopping $2,650 for the Pixel 7a prototype, and the included disclaimers will likely discourage a boatload of potential buyers
The price-to-performance smartphone from Google has made its way to eBay, where a seller who goes by the username nikoskom-94 has put up the Pixel 7a prototype for sale. One lucky or unlucky individual, depending on the circumstances, will have a chance to be the owner, provided he or she can wire $2,650 to the buyer.
That is correct; you will potentially have to fork out nearly six times the price you would normally pay for the retail version. Additionally, the seller was kind enough to provide some specifics of the device, but one major red flag for anyone wanting to acquire the Pixel 7a prototype has been provided below in text form.
“Google Pixel 7a prototype. It does NOT start. It goes only into fastboot mode. Device is in excellent cosmetic condition. Maybe someone can make it work and own a very collectible device ahead of it’s launch. Note that SIM tray is missing. Shipping rates depending on buyer’s location.”
If you take a look at the uploaded images, you can clearly see the distinctive prototype logo at the back instead of the 'G' that Google incorporates for retail models. There is also a USB-C port, but sadly, as soon as the phone is powered on, it immediately goes into fastboot rather than the actual operating system. From this angle, it looks like Google successfully managed to remotely disable the handset before the person who got their hands on it could uncover more information.
Other details mention 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The color of the Pixel 7a prototype is gray, and it is factory unlocked, though it will hardly matter to the one who purchases it. At the end of the day, this kind of offer will only appeal to customers who are willing to pay a jaw-dropping sum for a paperweight, or a collector's item, after which they can choose to resell to someone else or keep it.
