After teasing the Pixel 6 series earlier this year, Google finally launched the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro last month. Now, the Mountain View giant is reportedly looking to launch its budget-focused counterpart, presumably named the Pixel 6a, sometime in the next few weeks or months. The renders of the upcoming budget Pixel device already surfaced online last week. And today, we have some more information about the specs and camera setup of the Pixel 6a.
While the renders did not reveal the specs of the cameras on the Pixel 6a, a recent report from 9to5Google shines some light on it. The team at 9to5Google recently discovered relevant information about the cameras on the Pixel 6a, codenamed “Bluejay”, within the Google Camera app.
As per the report, the Google Pixel 6a will feature downgraded cameras as compared to the standard Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. Unlike the 50MP Samsung GN1 primary sensor on the Pixel 6 series, the Pixel 6a will reportedly feature a primary 12.2MP Sony IMX363 lens. This is the same lens that is present on various previous-gen Pixel devices, ranging from Pixel 3 to Pixel 5a.
Other than this, the device will also reportedly feature a 12MP Sony IMX386 lens as the ultra-wide sensor on the Pixel 6a. The front-facing selfie shooter will reportedly be the same 8MP IMX355 sensor as the standard Pixel 6.
