Everything You Should Know About Pixel 6A – A Worthy Buy

Google officially announced its much-anticipated Pixel 6A mid-range smartphone during its I/O developer conference on Wednesday.

The Pixel 6A boasts the same design as the 2021 flagship Pixel 6 series but will be a budget-focused option, with a competitive price tag of $449.

The new smartphone will also run on the same custom Tensor Titan M2 chip as the main Pixel 6 models.

Design

In terms of design, the Pixel 6A will feature the same raised horizontal camera bump and two-tone body as last year’s Pixel 6 series.

Google has had to make some cost cuts in the hardware department to keep the price the same as its predecessor.

These include a slower screen refresh rate of 60Hz, smaller 128GB storage, the exclusion of wireless charging support and a lower weather resistance rating.

Unlike previous Pixel A-series smartphones, the camera has been downgraded to a twin 12MP combo on the rear.

On the front, Google has stuck with the same 8MP lens as the base Pixel 6.

Another significant change from previous Pixel A-series smartphones is the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Availability

The phone will compete with the likes of the Samsung A53, OnePlus Nord, and the iPhone SE.

US pre-orders for the Pixel 6A will open on 21 July and shipping to retailers from 28 July.

  1. Prof, which one is unlike previous Pixel A series? Most of the previous Pixel phones have the same 12mp back cameras.
