The Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro are the latest smartphones from Google. But unfortunately, these handsets are limited to specific markets. However, according to a tipster, it won’t be the case for the search giant’s upcoming phone, which could be the Pixel 6a.
Tipster Yogesh Brar says that a new Pixel smartphone is heading to India. He adds that the handset will debut in the country by the end of Q1 2022.
Lastly, he also reveals that the phone should get certified by BIS soon. He suggests that this device could be the unreleased Pixel 6a.
For those who don’t know, Google hasn’t released any flagship smartphone in India after Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Since then, the country has only received the Pixel A series of mid-range handsets like Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, and Pixel 4a.
As far as the Pixel 6a is concerned, it is expected to feature the same design as the standard Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Hence, the device will have a centered punch-hole display on the front and a visor-like camera set on the rear.
We also know that the phone is codenamed Bluejay and it will be powered by the identical Google Tensor GS101 chipset like the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. But unlike them, the upcoming device will have an older main camera.
The Pixel 6a is said to arrive with a 12.2MP IMX363 primary camera, a 12MP IMX386 ultrawide unit, and an 8MP IMX355 front-facing shooter. In other words, the main sensor will be the same as the one found on the previous three generations of Pixel smartphones.
Unfortunately, this is all the information we have on the Google Pixel 6a so far. Anyway, we are looking forward to learning more about this handset before its official announcement.
