Google Pixel 6a specs leaked, could get Tensor SoC

After the launch of the Google Pixel 6 series, comprising the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the company is reportedly working on a mid-range variant called the Google Pixel 6a. Earlier, leaked renders showed off the phone’s design, which could look a lot like the Pixel 6.

Now, a report by 9to5Google claims that the upcoming Pixel 6a would get the same Google Tensor SoC as the Pixel 6 series. This would also mean that the smartphone would get some of the features that the Pixel 6 series launched with, including Google Assistant voice typing, Live HDR, and on-device translation.

The leak also claims that Google’s next mid-range phone will use the same 12.2MP Sony IMX363 sensor for the main camera, which Google has used from in every smartphone from the Pixel 3 to the Pixel 5a. This will be accompanied by a 12MP Sony IMX386 sensor, which could be used for the ultra-wide camera. The Google Pixel 6a is also reportedly going to sport an 8MP Sony IMX355 sensor for the front-facing camera.

Leaked renders for the device, which were shared earlier, indicate that these cameras would be placed on a camera island that goes across the back of the phone, as seen in the Pixel 6. The back could also be made out of glass. The 6.2-inch display will feature a centrally-placed camera cutout for the selfie camera.

The leaks do indicate that the phone will not feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, making it the first ‘a’ series phone from Google to miss out on the port.
