Google recently unveiled the Pixel 6a at its recent I/O 2022 event. Google also teased the design of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro at the event. And while Google did confirm that the Pixel 6a would be making its global debut in 13 countries, no names were taken, until now.

In a recent tweet, Google confirmed that the Pixel 6a India launch would take place later this year. The Pixel 4a was the last Google smartphone to officially debut in India, while the Pixel 5a never made it to the country.

However, the company has confirmed that the Google Pixel 6a is coming to India. Additionally, the Pixel 6a will also be unveiled in the United States, Canada, Germany, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

The Pixel 6a’s price in India could fall in the sub-40K segment considering the handset is priced at $449 (Roughly Rs 34,800) in the US. So let's take a look at the specifications of the Pixel 6a.
