The Google Pixel 6a takes on the design and specs of the Pixel 6 series, and it focuses on the many features that the company tries to achieve for less than its price. Google said that the new 6a device is coming with the Material You design UX for those familiar with the company's interface that completes the smartphone.

A week before the Google I/O event, a significant leak pushed for a budget smartphone release that will come for the Pixel 6 series, and the device is the 6a. It follows the number and suffix combo that signifies it is a smartphone that brings a more affordable device for all users. It follows the Pixel 5a and its last year's release under the 5 series.

The new device follows the pioneering Pixel 6 series, including its latest offer of the Tensor chip that brings the Silicon SoC for Google in this new era. The Tensor is the latest feature for the Pixel smartphones as the company decided to design its chips for the next release of the smartphone devices under its lineup.

The Pixel 6a line follows the footsteps of the iPhone SE devices, and it also features the latest chips packed into the more affordable device.

Now, Google confirms the existence of the Pixel 6a series, and it clarifies all the leaks available to the public, giving them a chance to get a smartphone that features a low cost but does not lag. The 6a brings the same Tensor chip in the 6 series, and it carries almost the same look as the Pixel's latest design scheme.
