Thebest Android phonescome in the best colors. If I said that sentence out loud, it would be through gritted teeth. Google’s had a checkered track record on this, but to be fair, both Pixel 6 and6aseries had wonderful green options and the6’s Kinda Coralwas pretty special to us. But we may be headed back to the future on the colorimeter with thePixel 7aon its way.
Kuba Wojciechowski, a kinda-sorta leaks blogger ofmore recent fame, is reporting that thePixel Buds A-seriesis getting a new “sky blue” color to join the existing Charcoal, Clearly White, and Dark Olive options.
Arguably, the bigger revelations here are that thePixel Buds Pro(existing colors include Charcoal, Coral, Fog, and Lemongrass) will be getting a “similar” blue. Wojciechowski makes it clear that neither Pixel Bud product will be updated to any extent besides the color.
In addition, the supposedlyceramic-bound Pixel 7awill also get in on the fun with an “Arctic Blue” colorway. This blue wave could be confirmed with announcements to be made atGoogle I/O 2023.
Looking back,the original Pixel from 2016supplemented the predictable black and white options with a very bold Really Blue. Then it faded down the blueness with the Pixel 2, coming up with something of aKinda Blueinstead. Since then, barringa limited edition Pixel 4aand its paltry periwinkle of a Barely Blue, we haven’t seen the company go back.
But hey, if you need a break from Samsung’s streak ofgreen and purple, you might want to stay tuned.
