According to tech Youtuber Sahil Karoul, the Google Pixel 6a will launch in India on Thursday, i.e. on July 21. The lack of any teasers or promotion by Google makes this leak quite peculiar. So, we advise our readers to take it with a pinch of salt.

Relatedly, another leak from earlier today claims that Google will be pricing the smartphone competitively in the Indian market. The device is said to be priced around Rs. 37,000 (roughly $462) in India and will take on competitors like the Nothing Phone (1) and the upcoming OnePlus 10T, which is also rumored to as a mid-ranger.

The Google Pixel 6a is expected to be unveiled in India by the end of this month (July). The specifications and design of the phone have already leaked online. And today, a reliable tipster has revealed the alleged Indian pricing of the Pixel 6a. The price of the device is lower than we expected and it is likely to create cutthroat competition in the premium mid-range segment.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav took to Twitter to reveal the Indian pricing of the Pixel 6a. As per the tipster, the overhauled Pixel smartphone will be priced at around Rs. 37,000 (roughly $462) in India. Previously, it was reported that the Pixel 6a would come with a price tag of Rs. 40,000 ($500), but it appears Google is keeping the prices low. Flipkart is said to be offering the Pixel 6a for purchase.

The leaked price is fairly competitive, and it is going to give a tough time to the brand-new Nothing Phone (1) and the upcoming OnePlus 10T. Pixel 6a definitely has the upper hand on both of these smartphones. The only letdown with the Pixel is the display. Google is said to be using a 60Hz panel on the Pixel 6a, which is far below the industry standards.

But again, the rest of the impressive features will likely make up for the display. We can’t really complain about Google using a 60Hz panel in its affordable phones when Apple uses the same in its premium smartphones.

Google has made a lot of improvements to the Pixel 6a. For instance, the tech giant has used a different fingerprint sensor on the device to offer smooth unlocking. As mentioned, the Pixel 6a will be launched in the last week of July. It will go on sale a few days after the launch.
