Google Pixel 7a prototype on eBay
The design of the Pixel 7a device that was sold on eBay was supposed to resemble the actual Pixel 7a based on several leaks and rumours, but with one difference – the branding. Google’s “G” logo appears on the back of Pixel devices, but this prototype has a logo that looks like a Pac-Man silhouette.
The listing on eBay showed that the seller tried to sell the prototype device for US$5,000, but no one was interested in the price. Hence, the seller sold it for US$1,650 (roughly Rs. 1,36,123.35). To put things in perspective, the Pixel 7a is said to be priced under US$500 (roughly Rs. 41,000), according to a GizmoChina report.
As per the eBay listing, the Pixel 7a prototype is non-working and has no SIM tray. It goes into fastboot mode but the buyer might be able to get it working. According to the listing, this Google Pixel 7a has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
