Google Pixel 6a: release date, price and more

Google Pixel 6a leaks are already flowing, even though the device isn’t expected to be official for a few more months. With its next lower-priced device, Google may be back on top form, if these reports are right.

In our opinion, the Pixel 5a, which was released last year, has a lot in common with the Pixel 4a 5G, making it seem outdated. This year, the cameras, CPU, and battery are all expected to get an update, as well as a new Pixel 6-like design. For Google, this might be just what it needs to reclaim its position as the finest low-cost smartphone.

The only thing we can say with certainty is that it will be one of many new Google products that will be released in 2022. The latest rumours and speculation regarding the upcoming Pixel may be found in the following sections.

Google Pixel 6a release date and cost

Google’s Pixel 6a is on the way, according to a bizarre leak using a colouring book. Nonetheless, when will it be available, and how much will it cost?

In the United States and Japan, the Pixel 5a will be launched on August 26, 2021. Google didn’t say why the phone could only be purchased in two countries, but the industry-wide chip scarcity is likely to have played a role in that decision.

For the A series, August looked to be Google’s new launch month. While Google I/O 2019 saw the unveiling of the Pixel 3a, the Pixel 4a will arrive on August 20, 2020. COVID-19 was blamed for the delay of the 4a’s release, but Google stayed with an August release schedule for the Pixel 5a. You’d assume that the Pixel 6a and the Pixel 2 XL were on the same page.

However, Google has the option of returning to its traditional May/Google I/O launch time frame. As Max Jambor claims, the Pixel 6a will be available in May. It’s not a coincidence that a Pixel Watch is expected to appear in May.

The Pixel 6a’s pricing is as uncertain as when it will be released. Compared to the $399 price of the Pixel 3a, the Pixel 4a costs only $349. The price of the Pixel 5a was risen from $399 to $449, including a second camera and 5G. Depending on the processor used by Google, the Pixel 6a might cost as little as $449.

The iPhone SE 3 is expected in March, which means the Pixel 6a will have some serious competition when it launches. Here are our thoughts on an iPhone SE 3 vs. Google Pixel 6a comparison based on the speculations currently in circulation.

The design and display of the Google Pixel 6a

Photos of a fake Google Pixel 6a have shown how the company’s upcoming affordable phone might look like the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, according to rumours. The most notable change is the absence of a 3.5mm audio port and the addition of a camera bar rather than a module.

Uncertainty surrounds the veracity of these photos. However, the design language of the Pixel ‘a’ series phones has been influenced by the flagship Pixels. As if to bolster this claim, Google Pixel 6a renderings apparently based on leaked information were released.

Despite the fact that the Pixel 6’s design has divided opinion, it would be a good idea if it was used in the Pixel 6a.

The Pixel 6a is expected to have a 6.2-inch, 60Hz display, according to a large specifications leak shared by Shadow leak. Compared to the Pixel 5a’s 6.4-inch display, this is a tad smaller. However, the purported refresh rate is more discouraging. Even in the price range of the Pixel a-series, many phones now use 90Hz, 120Hz, or even higher refresh rates. Given that the Pixel 6 has a 90Hz display as standard, Google’s choice to keep the Pixel 6a’s panel at 60Hz seems perplexing.

There will be three colour options: black, white, and green, according to an American carrier database. That’s a step forward from the Pixel 5a, which was only available in monochrome.

The cameras on the Google Pixel 6a are rather impressive.

Codenamed “bluejay” by Mishaal Rahman, this is the “Pixel 6a,” according to Rahman. The Sony IMX363, IMX386 and IMX355 sensors identified by Rahman might be used in a bluejay camera configuration. The specifications of Shadow leak According to the latest leak, the 6a will include a 12MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and an 8MP front-facing camera.

When it comes to its front-facing camera, the Pixel 5a combined an 8MP IMX355 with a 12MP IMX363 sensor. Although the ultrawide had a 16MP IMX481 sensor, the new 12MP IMX386 sensor isn’t a step down either. The IMX481’s pixels are just 1.0 m in size, but the Sony’s are 1.25 m. Despite its reduced resolution, the Pixel 6a’s larger pixels allow for more light to enter the sensor, which should result in better photographs overall.

Specs and Review of the Pixel 6a

Google Tensor from the Pixel 6 is expected to be included in the Pixel 6a, along with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, according to Shadow leak’s intel.

Tensor chips are a wonderful development. It’s a powerful processor fit for a flagship device, on par with last year’s Snapdragon 888. The Pixel 6a may be the most powerful phone in its pricing category save the iPhone SE or the impending iPhone SE 3.

a battery and a charger for the Google Pixel 6

Leaks say that the Pixel 6a will have a 4,800 mAh battery and 30W charging. Small capacity increase over the Pixel 5a’s 4,680mAh battery and significant boost in charging speed over its 18W.

The only thing that may go wrong is that the Pixel 6 series does not come with any chargers. We wouldn’t be surprised if the Pixel 6a didn’t come with a charger.

The Google Pixel 6a’s future

Pixel 6a looks better than Pixel 5a did at launch based on current leaks. It has a more powerful processor, a modest tweak to the ultrawide back camera, quicker charging, and a bigger battery than the normal mid-range phone. All of these changes are to be applauded.

In order to make our list of the best Android phones, Google has to be cautious with the pricing of the Pixel 6a. Because the Pixel 5a’s $449 starting price was a touch steep, even a price cut to $400 or below would increase the phone’s appeal.

We’d also want to see the Pixel 6a released outside of the United States and Japan. Even if there is a worldwide scarcity of computer processors, presumably Google will still allow its supporters in other nations to purchase the phone. Source
