The Pixel 6A is the latest phone to join the competitive upper tier of midrange phones, which is occupied by Samsung, Apple and others. Google announced the new phone onstage at its I/O 2022 keynote, detailing some key things about it. First thing you need to know: It’s not coming out right away. Contrary to how many announcements of products are on the way to retailers, it won’t be available for preorder until July 21, 2022, with orders shipping next week.
Unsurprisingly, this new (and smaller) 6.1-inch Pixel phone borrows many of the same design features from the pricier Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, including an enlarged camera section and a two-tone color scheme. The Pixel 6A is a big deal, as it is the first Google midrange phone to ship with its Tensor processor instead of a Qualcomm processor. It will be available in multiple colors, but it will come with the same 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, no matter which one you buy.
If you’re curious about how the Pixel 6A might stack up to competing devices like Samsung’s Galaxy A53 5G and iPhone SE (third-gen), and how it improves on the previous-gen Pixel 5A, we’ve put it here. has made. Post just for you.
