Its selling stats are equal to the combined stats of the Pixel 4 & 5 series”.
Design
The Google Pixel 6a design is pretty similar to the Pixel 6. It contains the same iconic bar for the back cameras & doesn’t seem to be any significant difference, but this handset has only one colored body, not like the dual colors we saw earlier.

The phone comes with 5G connectivity and Android 12 out of the box with five years of security updates.
