Google launched the mid-range Pixel 6a at its annual I/O developer conference last month. The smartphone will go up for pre-orders from July 21 with sales commencing on July 28th. However, ahead of the sale date, the Pixel 6a has started arriving in US stores but customers can’t buy it yet.
Leaker Roland Quandt spotted the Pixel 6a on Best Buy’s website. It is listed in Charcoal, Sage, and Chalk colours. The listing also mentions the smartphone’s carrier aggregations and pricing. The unlocked and T-Mobile version of the Pixel 6a will cost $449. On the other hand, Verizon’s version will be expensive by $50 and cost $499. It comes with a millimetre-wave 5G that is said to be faster than sub-6GHz 5G. AT&T will also sell the Pixel 6a, however, it is not listed on Best Buy.
It’s worth noting that buyers can add the Pixel 6a to the cart right now. The option will likely be enabled on July 28th which happens to be the sale date of the smartphone.
The Google Pixel 6a arrives as an upgrade to last year’s Pixel 5a. It offers a 6.1-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. On the front, there is an 8MP selfie camera whereas the dual rear camera setup comprises a 12.2MP primary and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens. The Pixel 6a is powered by a Tensor chip coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB native storage. It is backed by a 4,306mAh battery and runs on Android 12 OS.
