The Google Pixel 6a is finally official. This new smartphone from Google takes up the strategy already initiated by Google for its old phones by offering a more affordable version. To achieve this, the firm notably makes some concessions on certain technical aspects.

The Google Pixel 6a already only has a refresh rate of 60 Hz for its screen (while the Pixel 6 has 90Hz, and the Pixel 6 Pro can go up to 120Hz). As a reminder, the refresh rate corresponds to the number of times per second that the screen can display an image. This data is notably quite comparable to the FPS that can be found in the world of video games.

Another difference for the Google Pixel 6a: its battery drops from 4614 mAh (for the Pixel 6) to just 4306 mAh. It will therefore be expected to less battery life on the Pixel 6aespecially since its processor, the Google Tensor, is the same as that present on the Pixel 6. Data that will be closely monitored even if the autonomy of the Google Pixel 6 was relatively good.

Last concession for the Google Pixel 6a: its main photo sensor has only 12.2 Mpx (compared to 50 Mpx for the Pixel 6). Of course, this figure is not everything, and the Google smartphone range is above all known for its powerful photo editing algorithm. We will have to see if the latter works as well on the Google Pixel 6a.

The latter will not have to wait for very long, since the Google Pixel 6a will be available from July 28 in France. Pre-orders have been open since July 21, a few months before the reveal of the next Google Pixel 7.

Apart from the firm’s official store, only Fnac had opened pre-orders on the new Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Unfortunately, the brand has suffered from stock shortages since the release of the latest phones from Google, and you will have to turn to other stores and specialized sites to get your hands on a Pixel 6. Hurry though, stocks seem to be going rapidly. The Pixel 6 Pro is also available from Rakuten, but with very limited stock, and above its recommended retail price.

The Google Pixel 6 stands out very clearly from the rest of the competition with its atypical design. If the front of the smartphone remains quite classic, we will immediately notice the massive block at the back which “splits” the phone into two distinct parts (and of different colors). We find there in particular a main photo sensor of 50 Mpx and an ultra wide-angle of 12 Mpx. These are arranged on a fairly massive block, but which will allow the smartphone to hold well on a flat surface as well as in hand. If the photo has long been the strong point of Pixel phones, we will have to wait for the arrival of the first tests to confirm this quality again on the next versions. The front camera of the Pixel 6 is, on the other hand, equipped with 8 MP.

Regarding power, Google unveiled its first home-made chip. This processor, called “Google Tensor”, was specially created for the new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro phones after 4 years of research and development. It is particularly specialized in artificial intelligence, generally very developed for the automated editing of photos on Google smartphones. The Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are also compatible with 5G communication networks.

Regarding RAM,The Google Pixel 6 has 8 GB of RAM, while the Pixel 6 Pro is equipped with 12 GB. You should therefore have enough to run all of your favorite games and applications efficiently. Regarding storage capacity, both smartphones are equipped with 128 GB so that you can store your files, photos, videos and applications there.

Google is once again eagerly awaited on the autonomy of the next Google Pixel 6. Its predecessor, the Pixel 5, was exemplary on this point with a 4614 mAh battery which allowed it to last for a full day or two. of your use. Lhe Pixel 6 is equipped with a 4614 mAh battery. It remains to be seen whether the smartphone and its internal software will be able to manage the battery life well.

Regarding the screen, that of the Pixel 6 has a 20:9 aspect ratio of 6.4 “with OLED FHD + display with a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz. Note that both versions of the device can adapt their rates automatically according to your applications in order to save your battery.

What are the specs of the Google Pixel 6 Pro?

• The photo block on the back of the Google Pixel 6 Pro leaves a little more space on the upper edge of the smartphone.
• A third photo sensor is integrated into the back of the Google Pixel 6 Pro. It is used in particular for telephoto up to x4 with 48 Mpx.

• The front camera of the Google Pixel Pro is also above its younger sibling. It has 11.1 MP.

For several months, many fans of the brand were worried about the prices to come for the next Pixels. An official from Google had in particular inflamed the community by specifying that the firm would certainly arrive in the field of high-end competitors such as Apple and Samsung. If many users feared prices above 1000 €, it is ultimately nothing:

• The Pixel 6 is marketed from 649 €.
