Google is widely expected to announce the Pixel 6a during its I/O conference taking place this May. The 6a will of course be the company’s next installment in its affordable smartphone line, following on from the 5a launched last year.
Today an unverified source brings us the image you can see below, which obviously claims to portray the retail box for the upcoming Google Pixel 6a. And if this is real, which is a big if, then it seems like Google is looking to unify its design language across its smartphone range, as the Pixel 6a sports a distinctly Pixel 6-like look, and doesn’t resemble the 5a and 4a in any way anymore.
We think that this is a great thing and we hope it works out. The camera ‘visor’ look on the back is still unique and helps instantly recognize a Pixel in public. Pixel A has been a decently-priced phone line that offers reasonable performance and cameras at a price point that is a bit higher than theirs. Let’s see if the 6a will keep the formula unchanged, or if it will dare to try and take things up a notch.
The image of the box shows two cameras sensors, an LED flash and a microphone hole. Not that any of this is unexpected for a budget device.
Past leaks indicated the Pixel 6a would have a 6. 2-inch OLED screen, a pair of 12 MP shooters, and a 5,000 mAh battery. It will reportedly lose the 3. 5 mm headphone jack, which would be a first for a Pixel a, but not surprising in any way.
