Google's most affordable Pixel 6 series smartphone, the Pixel 6a, is finally here. The newly introduced handset comes with a price-tag of $449 (nearly Rs. 34,800) for its 6GB/128GB sole configuration. The device will be available for pre-order starting July 21 and will be in stores from July 28 onward. It will get three years of OS updates and five years of security updates.

Context
Why does this story matter?
  • Google Pixel 6a arrives as watered-down version of the flagship Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. The handset bears the same price-tag as the previous generation Pixel 5a but packs several upgrades to attract buyers in the sub-$500 segment.
  • Unlike the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, the Pixel 6a will be launched in global markets, including India.

The Google Pixel 6a has a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out with noticeable bezels, an aluminum frame, and an under-display fingerprint scanner. It features a Pixel 6-like dual-tone design with a full-width camera bar on the rear. The device sports a 6.1-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. It also gets Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and IP67 dust and water resistance.

Information
It has an 8MP front-facing camera

The Pixel 6a sports a dual rear camera setup including a 12.2MP (f/1.7) main lens and a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide snapper. On the front, the smartphone gets an 8MP (f/2.0) selfie shooter.

Internals
The smartphone is powered by a Google Tensor chipset

The Pixel 6a is backed by a 5nm Google Tensor SoC, with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The device boots Android 12 out of the box. It draws fuel from a 4,410mAh battery which supports 18W charging. Connectivity options on the device include 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, and a Type-C port.

Information
Google Pixel 6a: Pricing and availability
