Pixel 6a whitepaper

High-end design and processor for a fraction of the price

The design of this mobile is drinking straight from its big brother. As with the Pixel 6, we find a largely regular front display with a small hole for the selfie camera at the top and thin bezels. On the back, the dual-sensor photo module is housed in a band that runs from one side of the case to the other, protruding a few millimeters.

The biggest surprise of this mid-range device is the Tensor processor.

In the memory, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of USF 3.1 internal storage. On the battery level, we see a minor setback compared to the Pixel 5a, which has dropped from 4,680 mAh to 4,680 mAh. 4,410 mAh but retains 18W fast charging.

Although we do not have the 50 MP sensor of the Pixel 6 in the photography section, we encounter an interesting configuration. We have a 12 MP main sensor accompanied by another 12 MP ultra wide angle. The set lets you take full advantage of the Pixel, including astrophotography and Night Sight and Portrait Lighting modes, but not the new “motion mode.” On the front we have an 8 MP camera for selfies.
