According to Jon Prosser, Google Pixel 6a will be announced in May. The launch, however, has been pushed for later—July 28th, for many regions. Google Pixel 6a with code name ‘Bluejay’—a bird name, will come in Black, White, and Green colour options. Google could tease a new Pixel watch alongside the Pixel 6a at the May Google I/O event. Later in October, the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro could become official, followed by the Pixel Watch. The price and availability of the Pixel gears are still under wraps.

Google Pixel 6a specifications

Rumour mills suggest that Google Pixel 6a has a 6.2-inch OLED 90Hz display with an in-display fingerprint reader. The device’s heart is a Google Tensor chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB fast storage. A 4,500mAh battery with 20W+ fast charging support powers the Pixel 6a. The device will likely run on the latest Android 12 out of the box, as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro just received the latest Android update.

The front camera of the Pixel 6a is housed in a punch-hole cutout at the front. We expect to know more about the specification of the Pixel 6a in the coming weeks.
