While we already know that Google is planning on launching a Pixel 6a smartphone and its first smartwatch, the Pixel Watch soon, it appears that the company is delaying the release of both upcoming products.

Previously, we had reported on the Search Engine giant’s new handset and smartwatch launch being imminent after they were listed on online carriers. But now, it seems that the brand’s budget smartphone has been delayed to July 2022. On the other hand, the Pixel Watch has also been delayed, and will reportedly launch in May. The news arrives from Jon Prosser who also claimed that the smartwatch might get even further delayed as well.

In other words, we are still a couple of months away from a Pixel 6a and Pixel Watch launch. The company’s first smartwatch was rumored to be unveiled on 26th May 2022, but its possible that it may launch along with the affordable new Pixel phone. Prosser claims that the primary reason for the delay of the two products is the ongoing chip shortage, which has already affected numerous industries across the globe, even fellow smartphone brands.

Furthermore, with its current generation of smartphones, Google is now shipping its Pixel devices with its proprietary Tensor chips. As of right now, the Pixel 6a is rumored to also feature the same Tensor GS101 SoC that is also found on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report so take this news with a pinch of salt and stick around as we will be providing more updates.
