After Pixel 6 won the CNET Editors’ Choice Award Last year, with its exceptional value and powerful Tensor chip, we look forward to what Google has to offer for its next Pixel line. No no Pixel 7but rumored to be the budget brother of its flagship Pixel 6A.
Although we haven’t seen any mention of Google’s Pixel 6A at this time, the company may have kept the secret from slipping into a coloring book, believe it or not. Google Coloring Book Index has reportedly included the Pixel 6A in its product list. The existence of 6A would not be a surprise, as Google has released a budget “A” version of each Pixel from 2018 Pixel 3.
While we wait for the official announcement of the product, we follow all the rumors and leaks around Pixel 6A. Here’s everything we’ve heard about Google’s next budget phone.
Release Date: When can you get the Pixel 6A?
Rumors are circulating about two possible timelines for the release of the Pixel 6A: sometime in May or August.
IN Pixel 4A came out in August 2020 due to several delays in the first days of the pandemicand on Pixel 5A launched in August 2021. Pixel 6A may follow the model with a release date in August.
But before the pandemic, Google released its original Pixel “A” device, the Pixel 3A, in May 2019. this year’s Google I / O conference. And although the delays eventually moved the 4A release date back, 4A was originally expected in May 2020. It is possible that the 6A will return to its original release pace in May. This theory is supported by the draining Max Jamboree, who tweeted in January that 6A is scheduled for May this year.
Processor: How fast will 6A run?
A widely cited leak from 9to5Google suggests that Google will likely power the 6A with its new Tensor chip, which it uses for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. This means that the budget 6A will get all the benefits of this processor increased speed, AI features, extended battery life and special features.
Design: What will the Pixel 6A look like?
A recent leak from the US operator’s inventory system shows the 128GB Pixel 6A in three color options: black, white and green.
Renderings published by 91Mobiles courtesy of the expiring Steve Hemmerstoffer show a 6.2-inch OLED display with hardware dimensions of about 152.2×71.8×8.7 mm. This is a little more convenient for pockets than the Pixel 6, which has a 6.4-inch OLED display and measures 158.6×74.8×8.9 mm. Unlike previous Pixel A devices, there is no headphone jack in these 6A images.
Camera: How will the Pixel 6A’s cameras compare to the Pixel 6?
Hemmerstoffer renderings show the two 6A rear cameras in a similar position to those of the Pixel 6: they are arranged on a horizontal bar next to the flash. Like the Pixel 6, the renderers 6A also depict a cutout of a selfie camera hole, allowing the display to take up more of the phone’s surface.
An analysis by 9to5Google suggests that instead of getting a 50-megapixel main camera on the Pixel 6, the 6A will be equipped with the same 12.2-megapixel sensor as all Pixel after the Pixel 2. However, the 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and 8 -Megapixel selfie camera will remain the same as Pixel 6.
Our review found that the Pixel 5A’s camera provided solid performance for a cheap phone.

Price: How much will Pixel 6A cost?
Given the price of previous Pixel phones, the price of the Pixel 6A is likely to fall somewhere in the $ 400 range. Historically, we’ve seen significant price differences between the A and their flagship counterparts: the Pixel 5A costs $ 250 less than the Pixel 5, and previous versions of the Pixel A received even bigger discounts.
Since the Pixel 6A may have the same new processor as the $ 599 Pixel 6, and since the only major trade-off with the 6A’s quality may be the main camera, don’t expect a dramatic drop in price here.
