This month, the Pixel 6 series will be expanded with the mid-range Pixel 6a, which is available for pre-order now.
The A Series offers some of the core features seen on Google’s flagship Pixel phones at a fraction of the price. For example, the Pixel 6a will have the same Tensor chip and the rear design will also remain largely the same.
If you’re looking to get your hands on a Pixel 6a, we’ve got everything you need to know, including where to pre-order the phone, the price of the handset and more.
