A small tidbit of information dropped by leaker Max Jambor<\/a> on Twitter points to the rumoured Pixel 6a arriving in May 2022.<\/p>\n

Given Google tends to launch its A-series Pixel phones at its annual I\/O developer conference, which usually takes place in May, this rumour makes a fair bit of sense. That said, Google has not stuck to the I\/O announcement pattern in recent years. 2020\u2019s Pixel 4a<\/a> was announced in August (and wasn\u2019t even available in Canada until September), while last year\u2019s Pixel 5a also saw a later-than-expected August reveal<\/a> and didn\u2019t even come to Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pandemic, supply chain issues and chip shortages were among the factors that delayed the 4a and 5a (and limited the phones\u2019 availability). However, with the Pixel 6a supposedly running on Google\u2019s custom Tensor processors, there\u2019s hope it won\u2019t experience the same problems.<\/p>\n

Pixel 6A scheduled for May<\/p>\n

Beyond the May release date, Jambor didn\u2019t share any other details. That said, there\u2019s not much more to add \u2014 we\u2019ve seen from previous leaks that the Pixel 6a will likely be a slightly smaller version of the Pixel 6 with older camera hardware.<\/p>\n

Previous leaks<\/a> suggest the Pixel 6a will have a 6.2-inch OLED display, a centred hole-punch selfie camera, and the same camera bump design on the back as the Pixel 6<\/a> and 6 Pro<\/a>. It will also likely drop the headphone jack, a major bummer for those who\u2019ve stuck with the A-series Pixels so they could keep using their favourite wired headphones.<\/p>\n

As for the camera, the 6a is rumoured<\/a> to sport the old IMX 363 sensor used in the Pixel 5<\/a>, 5a and prior models. However, it\u2019s also supposed to have the new ultra-wide IMX 386 sensor seen in the Pixel 6.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll likely learn more about the Pixel 6a as we near the phone\u2019s launch \u2014 whether that\u2019s in May, or late summer as in previous years.<\/p>\n
