Should you buy the Pixel 6a right now?
Anybody looking for a stylish phone with stock Android, powerful cameras, and smooth performance may want to think about getting the Pixel 6a at the now discounted price of Rs 29,999. The phone now supports both Jio and Airtel’s 5G networks in India, something it lacked at launch. Purchasing the Pixel 6a now also makes sense since Google will introduce the long-rumored Pixel 7a in the global market by May and it will cost a premium. In terms of software experience, prompt updates, and overall brand value for the sub-Rs 30,000 segment, the Pixel 6a is far superior to the competition.
