Google Pixel 6a tipped to move back to a May release date this year - 9to5Google

We’ve already heard a fair bit about Google’s Pixel 6a, but it seems the phone is set to launch earlier than the past couple of models.

According to Max Jambor, a pretty reliable source with a good track record, the Pixel 6a is set to debut sometime in May 2022, pushing its release date much earlier than the past two Pixel a-series devices.

However, there is precedent for Google launching an a-series device in May, as that’s when the original Google Pixel 3a made its debut.

In fact, that device was launched on stage at Google I/O, which seems feasible for Google to repeat with this new device.

The Google Pixel 6a is expected to pick up on what the Google Pixel 6 started, with a revamped design and the use of a Google Tensor chip with a lesser camera compared to the flagship models.
