While the Google Pixel 6 series was released back in October 2021, the company has just recently launched the mid range entry of the lineup, called the Pixel 6a. And now, it is also confirmed that this model will be making its way to the Indian market.

For those unaware, the Search engine giant did not launch its latest flagship lineup last year. Although, this was also true for its yearly flagship models in previous years as well. But, the brand did launch its mid range A series models in the region. And now, the company has also confirmed that the Pixel 6a will be arriving in India. Unfortunately, Google has yet to reveal the exact launch date for the device, but it has confirmed that it will be launching later this year.

This might imply that the release date is set sometime in the second half of this year. Talking about the device itself, the Pixel 6a sports a 6.1 inch OLED display that has a Full HD+ resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. This panel supports HDR and 25 bit depth with 16 million colors. The front has a center aligned punch hole cutout and an in display fingerprint scanner as well. Under the hood, the handset is equipped with the company’s proprietary Tensor chipset with AI powered features.

This chipset is paired with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The device also comes with the Titan M2 security chip as well and is powered by a 4,400mAh battery pack that supports 25W fast charging. For photography, the Pixel 6a features a dual megapixel on the rear, with a 12.2 megapixel Sony IMX363 primary sensor and a 12 megapixel ultra wide angle lens. The front houses an 8 megapixel selfie shooter. The device is priced at 449 US Dollars and is available in three color options, namely Black, White, and Mint Green.

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.
