The Pixel 3a leaks continue today with perhaps our best look yet at Google's upcoming handset.

A new official-looking render of the Google Pixel 3a has surfaced, showing off both its front and back. The image shared by Evan Blass gives us a clear look at the bezels at the top and bottom of the Pixel 3a's display, which rumors say is a 5.6-inch 2220x1080 display, and there's a single front camera above the screen that's said to be an 8MP snapper.

Around back is a single camera that's rumored to be of the 12MP variety, and there's a fingerprint reader below it. Other purported Pixel 3a specs include a Snapdragon 670 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 3000mAh battery. A 3.5mm headphone jack is also expected to be included, which is notable because that feature is missing from the standard Pixel 3.

Google recently teased that "something big is coming to the Pixel universe" on May 7th. Previous rumors said that the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL could launch in the spring, so it's possible that next month's announcement will be these new Pixel phones. It's been suggested that the Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL could launch at Verizon and T-Mobile. Nothing about either phone is official, but if the rumors about them are true, they could be lower-cost alternatives to Google's flagship Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL for folks who want a Pixel experience at a more affordable price.
