Google Pixel 6a in for review
The Google Pixel 6a recently went on pre-orders in over a dozen countries and we"ve got one for a review. Our unit comes in Sage color, but there are two more options - Chalk and Charcoal.
Regardless of which color model you buy, the Pixel 6a"s retail package comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle, some paperwork, and a SIM card ejector. The box doesn"t include a charger, so if you don"t have a compatible power adapter already, you"ll have to buy one.
The Google Pixel 6a is powered by the company"s 5nm Tensor chip and also has Google"s Titan M2 security co-processor under the hood. It runs Android 12 out of the box and has 6GB LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage onboard. The smartphone doesn"t have a microSD card slot, and there"s no other version with higher storage, so if you want more space, you have to look elsewhere.
The Pixel 6a is built around a 6.1" FullHD+ 60Hz OLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It has a punch hole in the center for the 8MP selfie camera and a fingerprint scanner underneath for biometric authentication.

Around the back, we have a horizontal bar similar to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, housing a 12.2MP primary and a 12MP ultrawide camera joined by an LED flash.
The rest of the Google Pixel 6a"s highlights include an IP67 rating, stereo speakers, and 5G connectivity. Fueling the entire package is a 4,410 mAh battery with 18W charging support.
We"ve started working on the Google Pixel 6a"s full review, so stay tuned to find out if it is a worthy buy.
