Google<\/a> has a strong history with Android phones – as you\u2019d expect given it owns the operating system. While its Pixel lineup has majored on well-specced midrange phones, the pick of the range has often been their entry-level counterparts. In particular, the Pixel 3a and 4a<\/a> are superb budget handsets. But with the Pixel 6 range, Google is competing more directly with flagship phones from Apple<\/a> and Samsung<\/a>. The Pixel 6a<\/a> is likely to deliver even more bang for your buck, which is why so many of us are interested in the latest Google Pixel 6a rumours.<\/p>\n If you want to upgrade an ageing Android phone, or you\u2019re looking at alternatives to an iPhone SE (2022)<\/a> or other cheaper iPhone, the Pixel 6a is definitely one to watch. Here\u2019s everything we know about the Pixel 6a specs, launch dates and pricing.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.11.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ global_module=”1132″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Battery ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Sensor ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Display ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Storage and charging ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Battery life ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Camera ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Crash detection ><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_id=”date” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”40px|auto|2px|auto|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2px||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It\u2019s long been rumoured that the Google Pixel 6a will launch in May 2022, and those rumours appear even more credible now. In a recent earnings call, Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai mentioned the company would be announcing products at Google I\/O, scheduled for 11 and 12 May. Those products are widely expected to include the new budget Pixel.<\/p>\n There are a couple of possible flies in the ointment. The global chip shortage continues, which could cause delays in availability. Equally it\u2019s worth mentioning that the Pixel 5a only launched in August 2021. It would be unusual to replace a phone so quickly, but bear in mind that the Pixel 5a<\/a> is only available in the US and Japan. Given the success of the Pixel 6, Google probably wants to get a budget version into the global market as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”design” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Pixel 6a looks set to continue the bold design direction taken by the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Moulds produced for accessory companies suggest a slightly smaller phone than the Pixel 6, but still with the distinctive camera bar across the back. Some renderings show the Pixel 6a without the two-tone colours of existing Pixel 6 phones, but many sources expect it to be similarly colourful.<\/p>\n Leaked renders show the Pixel 6a seems to have a glass back, and that it doesn\u2019t have a headphone port. Given that the Pixel 6 phones and the Pixel 5a are water resistant, it seems likely the Pixel 6a will also have at least basic protection.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nQuick links:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
