Google has shied away from launching flagship Pixel smartphones in India. In fact, the last smartphone from the company here was the Pixel 4a which was introduced in August 2020. People were expecting Pixel 5a to replace the aging 4a but that too didn't happen. Hence, there is a lot of anticipation from Android purists who now look forward to the Pixel 6a.
