Google Pixel 6a spotted on Geekbench with Tensor chip
Google is gearing up to launch its new Pixel 6a handset in the coming months. In the latest development, the processor and RAM details of the phone have been revealed courtesy of a Geekbench listing. As per the listing, the Pixel 6a will feature the company's in-house Tensor chip and 6GB of RAM. Earlier, renders of the device had surfaced online, revealing its design.
- The Pixel 6a will be a mid-range phone—a watered-down version of the Pixel 6, which was a huge hit.
- We earlier learned 6a will have the same design as its siblings. Now, the Geekbench listing has revealed it will feature the same chipset as well.
- However, it's unclear whether it will arrive in India as Google didn't launch the 6 and 6 Pro here.
Geekbench is a processor benchmarking platform that ranks chipsets based on their single-core and multi-core performances. It runs a series of instructions simultaneously per core and generates an aggregate result. The faster a processor completes the actions, the higher is its score. The Google Pixel 6a has achieved a single-core score of 1,050 and a multi-core score of 2,833.
The Google Pixel 6a will look similar to the Pixel 6 with a centrally-aligned punch-hole cut-out, slim bezels, dual-tone finish, and an in-display fingerprint sensor. On the rear, it will sport a full-width horizontal camera unit. The handset is expected to bear a 6.2-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 20:9 and a 90Hz refresh rate.
The Google Pixel 6a is likely to be equipped with a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 12.2MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide shooter. Up front, it may sport an 8MP selfie snapper.
The Google Pixel 6a will draw juice from an in-house Tensor chipset, coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. Under the hood, it will boot Android 12 and may house a 4,800mAh battery with 30W fast-charging support. For connectivity, the handset should offer support for 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 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, we expect the phone to be priced around Rs. 35,000.
