At Google’s annual I/O event, the company confirmed that the highly anticipated Pixel 6a is official and will be making its way to shelves this summer.
The A-Series offer some of the core features seen on Google’s flagship Pixel phones for a fraction of the price. For example, the Pixel 6a will have the same Tensor chip, and the rear design will also remain largely similar.

Google has confirmed US pricing for the Pixel 6a at $449, which approximately converts to £370/€430/INR₹34,765. We’ll update this article with regional pricing when it’s made official.
This price gets you 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which as far as we know is the only configuration that the device comes in. This is paired with Google’s dedicated Tensor chip that was also seen on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
