Leaks and rumors suggest that this device will dominate the budget phone space, taking just a few minor downgrades to reach a sub-$550 price point. Here\u2019s everything we know about the Pixel 6a so far.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Broad_Details_Release_Date_and_Pricing\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">Broad Details: Release Date and Pricing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Back in 2020, Google delayed the release of its Pixel 4a from the expected May release date to August. The Pixel 5a came out in August 2021, and so naturally, we expect Google to continue this trend with the Pixel 6a.<\/p>\n<p>But release dates are difficult to predict. Google could aim for an earlier Pixel 6a release if it can successfully navigate the global chip shortage, for example. Doing so could help capitalize on all the Pixel 6 hype, though on the other hand, an early release could cannibalize Pixel 6 sales.<\/p>\n<p>We haven\u2019t seen any Pixel 6a leaks related to pricing, but even if these leaks existed, they probably wouldn\u2019t be very reliable. The Pixel 6a release is <em>probably<\/em> a long ways away, and in the past, Pixel A-series pricing has been pretty sporadic. The Pixel 3a was $400, the Pixel 4a hit a $350 price point, and the Pixel 5a cost $450 at the time of its release.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the Pixel 6a will probably fall in the $400 to $500 range. Google launched the Pixel 6 at $600 (that\u2019s $100 less than the Pixel 5), in case you\u2019re wondering.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Design_Its_a_Smaller_Pixel_6\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">The Design: It\u2019s a Smaller Pixel 6<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/11\/0341f839.png\" alt=\"A concept render of the Pixel 6a.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The leakers at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.91mobiles.com\/hub\/google-pixel-6a-renders-exclusive\/\"><em>91Mobiles<\/em><\/a> recently got their hands on some Pixel 6a CAD files, and to our surprise, the phone looks nearly identical to a Pixel 6. It has the same \u201cvisor\u201d camera strip, in-display fingerprint reader, and unfortunately, a severe lack of headphone jack. The Pixel 6a could also use a two-tone design, though this is impossible to determine with CAD files.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the Pixel 6a likely features <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/google-pixel-6a-camera-display-processor-specs-leak_id136583\">a 6.2-inch display<\/a>, which is slightly smaller than the Pixel 6\u2019s 6.4-inch screen. We expect Google to use a 1080p OLED panel for the Pixel 6a, but the phone probably won\u2019t feature a high refresh rate. (Of course, this is just speculation.)<\/p>\n<p>Several of the concept Pixel 6a renders in this article are based on the CAD files uncovered by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.91mobiles.com\/hub\/google-pixel-6a-renders-exclusive\/\"><em>91Mobiles<\/em><\/a>, and they look pretty official! But it\u2019s important to remember that these concept renders are never 100% accurate. Until we see photos or advertising materials for the Pixel 6a, we can\u2019t be certain what it really looks like.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spec_Talk_Gimmie_That_Tensor_Chip\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Spec Talk: Gimmie That Tensor Chip!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-100922 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/10\/39740b13.png\" alt=\"Google Tensor SoC\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/pixel\/introducing-google-tensor\/\" data-credittext=\"Google\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/pixel\/introducing-google-tensor\/\">Google<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Will the Pixel 6a run Google\u2019s custom Tensor chip, or will it use a typical Snapdragon processor? According to data uncovered by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2021\/11\/23\/google-pixel-6a-specs-tensor-camera-downgrade\/\"><em>9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, we should expect the Tensor. This makes sense\u2014if Google uses a Snapdragon chip, it will undermine Tensor\u2019s capabilities and look like a step back for the company.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Pixel 6 contains a ton of AI-powered software features, and Snapdragon chips just don\u2019t dedicate that much power to machine learning. If Google wants to add its exclusive camera features to the Pixel 6a, for example, it will probably need to use a Tensor chip.<\/p>\n<p>Other specs, such as RAM and storage, are still a mystery. But we expect Google to make some cuts here to bring down the Pixel 6a\u2019s price. (The Pixel 6 has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.)<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cameras_A_%E2%80%9CDowngrade%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">The Cameras: A \u201cDowngrade\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-102400 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/11\/a3676368.jpg\" alt=\"Pixel 6 cameras\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Justin Duino\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Justin Duino<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Nearly every Pixel phone uses the same 12.2MP Sony IMX363 primary sensor, but Google broke this trend with the Pixel 6\u2019s 50MP lens. Unfortunately for camera nerds, the Pixel 6a probably uses the old 12.2MP sensor, but it\u2019s a worthwhile \u201cdowngrade\u201d for a phone that costs less than $600.<\/p>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2021\/11\/23\/google-pixel-6a-specs-tensor-camera-downgrade\/\"><em>9to5Google<\/em><\/a> APK Insight team found references to the 12.2MP sensor while digging through Google Camera code. They also found that the phone uses a 12-megapixel IMX386 ultrawide camera and 8-megapixel IMX355 selfie lens. (Historically, these datamining efforts yield accurate results, though there\u2019s no guarantee that <em>9to5Google<\/em> is correct here.)<\/p>\n<p>If the Pixel 6a uses a 12.MP main camera, which it probably does, it will still take amazing photos. Last year\u2019s Pixel 5 used this same sensor and had one of the best smartphone cameras at the time of its release. Assuming that the Pixel 6a also uses a Tensor chip, it may shoot better photos than the Pixel 5, as much of Google\u2019s camera software relies on machine learning.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>We expect Google to announce the Pixel 6a in mid-to-late 2022, likely in August. It should run a Tensor chip and have some modest downgrades to reach a sub-$550 price point. Of course, we\u2019re basing this information on leaks and rumors, so it may not be accurate.<\/p>\n<p>Still, we\u2019ll continue to update this article with any new information we find on the Pixel 6a.
