The Google Pixel 6a is Google’s next big smartphone launch. But what can we expect to see? Here are all the credible rumors in one place!
In 2021, Google’s big smartphone launch centered around the Google Pixel 6 series. Those phones wildly reinvented what a Pixel phone looks like and what it can do. Now, the next big launch from the company should be the Google Pixel 6a. While we don’t know a ton about the phone yet, we do know quite a bit. Below, we’ve rounded up all the credible leaks and rumors related to the Pixel 6a, Google’s next budget-oriented smartphone. Since the Pixel 6 series was such a dramatic shift for Google, it wouldn’t have been surprising if the company changed up its naming scheme. However, it didn’t. Therefore, we have every reason to believe the next A-series phone from the company should be the Google Pixel 6a. Google hasn’t confirmed this, though. We are quite certain of the name but are much less certain of a release date. In 2021, the Google Pixel 5a came out much, much later than we anticipated: August, almost 10 months after the Google Pixel 5. We assumed the delay of the Pixel 4a (which also was delayed to August thanks to COVID-19) wouldn’t affect the Pixel 5a, but it clearly did.
