The Pixel 6a is expected to be powered by the company's in-house Tensor chip and could be announced at the Google I/O conference which usually happens in May.
- The present leak about the Pixel 6a provides a timeline regarding the phone's debut. The handset will be an affordable offering and it will be pitted against the Apple iPhone SE 3 that is rumored to be announced around April-May.
- We expect the Pixel 6a to go official alongside the company's Pixel Watch, which is tipped to be unveiled on May 26.
The Google Pixel 6a will sport a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out, slim bezels, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. It will have a full-width dual camera unit on the rear. The handset will have an OLED display that is speculated to be a 6.2-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) panel with an aspect ratio of 20:9, a 424ppi pixel density, and a 90Hz refresh rate.
The Google Pixel 6a will be equipped with a dual rear camera arrangement comprising a 12.2MP Sony IMX363 primary shooter and a 12MP Sony IMX386 ultra-wide sensor. Up front, it will sport an 8MP Sony IMX355 selfie snapper.
The Google Pixel 6a is expected to draw power from a Tensor chipset, coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage. At the heart, it will boot Android 12 and may house a 4,800mAh battery with 30W fast-charging support. In terms of connectivity, the handset should offer support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, 5G, NFC, and a Type-C port.
The official pricing and availability details of the Google Pixel 6a will be announced at the time of its launch. However, the phone is expected to be priced around $450 (roughly Rs. 33,500) in the US.
