Ahead of the official announcement from the tech giant, renders of the smartphone have leaked online, offering a glimpse into the design and some specifications of the Google handset. The leaked renders show a design identical to the standard Google Pixel 6 with a hole-punch design and a 6.2-inch display. The phone is tipped to feature dual rear cameras as well. Google Pixel 6a is said to succeed Google Pixel 5a 5G and is likely to debut as a mid-range device in India.
