Google showed off its all-new Pixel 6 line-up powered by the in-house Google Tensor chipset via a series of tweets. Not only did the company share a glimpse of the upcoming flagship lineup of products including the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro but also killed the scope of any more speculations around the specs and design.

However, what Google didnt talk about is another Pixel phone that a lot of people are waiting for, slightly more affordable and the one that sells in more markets than the flagship lineup the Pixel 5A .

phone will, only be available for purchase online or physically available in Google Stores.

The Pixel 5a may look similar to the Pixel 4a or the Pixel 5 that was
launched last year. However, the Pixel 4a comes with a single rear camera sensor but the Pixel 5a could come with a dual-camera setup.

The phone is expected to come with a 6.4-inch flat display with a 60Hz
refresh rate as standard but there could be an option to force a 90Hz refresh rate. The 6.4-inch size will still help the Pixel 5a make it to the list of compact phones since most devices these days are edging closer to the 7-inch mark.

The phone could still house the front selfie camera under a hole-punch cutout and could have minimal visible bezels around the display.

Under the hood, there might be a Snapdragon 765G chipset powering the phone coupled with 6GB of RAM. The Pixel 5a could come with the same camera as the Pixel 5 from last year with all the chops that the Pixel camera is revered for.

This means that the phone could have a dual-camera setup with a 12.2MP
primary wide lens and a 16MP ultra-wide sensor with 107-degree FOV. The phone could also have a 3.5mm headphone jack, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner
and stereo speakers. Amazon Great Freedom Festival sale: best deals and
