The recently released CAD renders of the upcoming Google Pixel 6a revealed that its design would be similar to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones. Now, a new leak has revealed live images of an aluminum dummy of the upcoming device, further solidifying the design rumors.

The leaks came from the known tipster xleaks7 (@xleaks7) in collaboration with Fathombracelets and were first covered by techstory. The leaks reveal the design and feel of the upcoming Google Pixel 6a.

As we can observe from the dummy images, the Pixel 6a will sport the same design as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The camera module is placed horizontally and holds a dual-camera setup along with an LED flashlight. The Google branding can be seen in the center of the phone’s rear panel. Moving on to the front, the device appears to have a punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper and an under-screen fingerprint sensor. The model’s bottom holds the USB-C connector and two speaker grills, while the power button and the volume rocker are present on the right spine of the Pixel 6a dummy.

A similar design to the latest Pixel devices is exciting news for people looking to get their hands on this upcoming device, but what specs will it pack to make it more affordable than the Google Pixel 6?

Through previous leaks, we have some ideas on what to expect from the Google Pixel 6a. These rumored features include the 12.2-megapixel Sony IMX363 camera as the primary sensor accompanied by a 12-megapixel Sony IMX386 sensor. The latter may function as an ultrawide camera. For selfies, the device will feature an 8-megapixel Sony IMX355 front-facing camera. These cameras show that its photography prowess will not be as good as Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro.

The report further states that the Pixel 6a mid-ranger will be equipped with the Google Tensor GS101 chip, which fuels the Pixel 6 duo flagship phones. However, recent rumors suggest that Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G can replace the chip. The phone screen is also expected to be smaller compared to the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, although it is not clear if it will be achieved through thick bezzles or thinking down the handset’s size. The other details of the phone are under wraps.

There is no word from the search giant about a possible release date of the Pixel 6a. Still, rumors are rife of a late Q1 2022 release, so stay tuned as we will be covering any notable developments regarding this upcoming device.

Last month, Google launched the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro smartphones in the market. The phones boast a unique design and have a Tensor chip inside. Now, a month after its launch, rumours for the sibling Google Pixel 6a have started to pour. Today, 91Mobiles has shared some crisp renders of the upcoming Pixel 6a budget-centric smartphone and have also revealed its key specs.

There’s no surprise that the upcoming Pixel 6a has got its design elements from the Pixel 6 siblings. After a long time, there will be a true design refresh for the ‘a’ series phones. That said, the Pixel 6a will have a punch-hole display with a boxy form factor. It is riffed to feature a 6.2-inch OLED display.

The smartphone will have the same protruded camera island as the other Pixel 6 phones. From what we can see in the images, it will feature more than one camera. This will be a significant upgrade over the single-camera system on the Pixel 5a. The camera island will also hold an LED flash.

Apart from this, the upcoming Pixel 6a is expected to come with mid-range specifications. It is expected to run on Android 12 out of the box and have support for 3 years of software updates.
