Although Google’s I / O event 2022 is already scheduled for May 11, we still see small previews and leaks of another company smartphone, with Pixel 6a, which has already revealed its first performance capabilities in some recognized tests or benchmarks.

And this is because, as we can see from Geekbench 5, Pixel 6a will not only be introduced under a similar design (if not almost identical) to Pixel 6, but also offers relatively the same performance and performance as the base modelfar from the significant reduction that was expected of him.

Specifically, Google Pixel 6a has been amassed single core performance score 1050, he managed to beat the previous score of the basic model by 6 points; while his score for multicore tasks managed to increase to 2833, which in this case is a more significant improvement compared to 2758 pixels of Pixel 6. Some of the data is surprising, because Pixel series “a” phones are usually cheaper, and therefore slightly less powerful than the original phones. Something that won’t happen this time, because at the moment it looks like the new phone won’t lose any of the most important features of this family.

In fact, as we can see in this list of Geekbench, Both Pixel 6 and Pixel 6a will use the same SoCwith the only difference in ingredients small reduction up to 6 GB RAM on the “reduced” model. And this is because in the case of a cheap phone, it is very unlikely that we will find other variants with more available RAM options. Although, as we have seen in the benchmark itself, this should not be a real problem either.

As for the remaining features, Pixel 6a is expected to be equipped 6.2-inch flat OLED display with one center punch camerawhich will be complemented by a configuration of dual rear cameras and a single LED flash, is rumored use the same 50 megapixel sensor Samsung ISOCELL GN1.

So we have no choice but to wait until next month to find out the price and final specifications of this phone, which undoubtedly aims to become Google’s most popular choice.
