Google has already accustomed us to a fairly stable rotation of its Pixels which was slightly altered with the arrival of a single Pixel 5 which was an exception. So we usually get two new phones around October and another new one the following year, with a little less power and an “a” surname. And which one is this year? So if nothing changes It will be the Google Pixel 6a.
From this future Pixel 6a we have been getting rumors and leak information for some time now, so it’s time to put everything in order in an article that we will update periodically until launch From the device. Let’s see what we know, or think we know, so far about North Americans’ upcoming Pixel ‘Lite’.
GOOGLE PIXEL 4A, review: SPECTACULAR CAMERA in a SMALL-MID RANGE
Will the Pixel 6a have 5G?
Here we have some leaked information to bring to our lips as everything indicates that the upcoming Pixel 6a will have the Google Tensor processor on board. This will mean, among other things, that it will be a really powerful phone that probably differs little from its bigger brothers in this respect. It also means that it will inherit connectivity options.
So if the Google Tensor is confirmed, the future Pixel 6a will have 5G and also Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 with A2DP, LE and aptX HD, it will have GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/QZSS and BDS, it will have NFC and it will have a USB Type C 3.1 port. It’s all that comes sewn to the manufacturer’s Google Tensor, and let’s hope it will land on the Google Pixel 6a soon.
What memory options will the Pixel 6a have?
Looking at the previous Google Pixel 5a and the current Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, it looks like we won’t have much variation in terms of memories when the Pixel 6a is introduced and goes on sale. If all goes according to what has been leaked so far and the trend of its siblings continues, the Google Pixel 6a should arrive in a only version with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB internal storage. And without microSD, of course, except surprise or last minute miracle.
What cameras will the Google Pixel 6a have?
Again, we are processing leaked information multiple times, and all of the information appears to be pointing to the same destination. This fate is what brings us to a mobile with two rear cameras and one front, and a slightly different configuration than the past Google Pixel 5a although it seems that they will share another sensor.
If everything goes as a leak, the Pixel 6a will give a small step back in terms of megapixels of your camera with an ultra wide angle lens. In the Pixel 5a we had 16 megapixels and in the Pixel 6a we will have 12 megapixels. Let’s see the leaked configuration including the front camera.
- Rear main camera: 12 megapixel f/1.7, 27 millimeters, Dual Pixel sensor with PDAF focusing and optical stabilization.
- Secondary rear camera: 12 megapixel f/1.7, 17mm (super wide angle), 114º field of view.
- Front camera : 8 megapixel f/2.0, 24 millimeters
Will the Pixel 6a have fast charging?
According to all the rumors and leaks so far, yes, and we’ll also get an increase in charging speed and battery size over last year’s Pixel 5a. The information received so far speaks of an internal pile of 4,800mAh (compared to 4,680 on the Pixel 5a) and a fast charge of 30W (18W last year). No wireless charging yet, unfortunately.
What will the Pixel 6a screen and size be?
Another area in which we have filtered information, that of the screen, which in turn marks in some way the size of the terminal. If all goes according to the information leaked so far, the Pixel 6a will be slightly smaller than the Pixel 5a in everything but the thickness of the phone. Leaks talk about 152.2 x 71.8 x 8.7 millimeters compared to the 154.9 x 73.7 x 7.6 millimeters of the Pixel 5a.
And on the screen side, we would go from a 6.34-inch OLED to a 6.2-inch AMOLED maintaining resolution (FullHD+) and aspect ratio (20:9). So if we did some quick math, we’d be talking about a 2,400 x 1,080 pixel display and around 424 pixels per inch of density. Slightly up from the Pixel 5a’s 413 pixels per inch.
Will the Pixel 6a arrive in Europe? At what price?
The Pixel 5 was not sold in Europe and neither was the Pixel 5a. In a strange decision, Google decided to exclude our country from the sales circuit of its terminals but took it back with the next generation, although a little later. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro took a while to arrive but they have arrived. Everything indicates that the Pixel 6a will also be sold in Europe.
As for the price, we have entered a bit into the realm of speculation since the price is one of the few data that has not yet leaked from the future Google Pixel 6a. The swimming pools are located at the moment about 450 dollars price for the version with 6 GB and 128 GB that we talked about earlier. Unfortunately, there is no reliable information at the moment.
When will the Pixel 6a launch?
May is the month in which Google celebrates its traditional developer conference, the Google I/O which will take place in 2022 on the 11th and 12th of next month. And from everything that’s leaked so far, It seems that it will be at Google I / O when we see the Pixel 6a presented. There is nothing official, we already warned you, but so far the leaks coincide with this same date.
A different circumstance is that of its arrival on the market. The Pixel 5a was announced in August 2021 and automatically appeared for pre-order in the US and other regions. If the model is respected, the Google Pixel 6a could go on sale the same month of May. I mean, next month.
