Product details

Google Pixel 6a

Pixel power like never before. The Google-designed chip, Google Tensor, ensures a fast phone where games run smoothly and your personal data is better protected. Tensor is the first chip of its kind, developed by Google specifically for Pixel. The same chip is also used in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, ensuring that your phone operates seamlessly and efficiently.

A new camera for your best photos. With the new camera, you can capture more light and detail in every shot, easily remove distracting elements, and keep moving subjects in focus. The innovative Pixel camera features larger sensors for richer colors, better-defined details, and 150% more light than the Pixel 5. With the ultra-wide-angle lens of the rear camera, you can fit more into your photos—whether it's group shots or panoramas.

Fast, intelligent, and tailored just for you. Thanks to the intelligent battery that lasts all day, smooth live translation, and proactive assistance, you get a whole new Pixel experience. Both the all-day battery and the redesigned user interface, along with the Smooth Display, adapt to your usage habits. Plus, you benefit from powerful 5G as well as improved Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

A sense of security thanks to advanced technology. With the new Titan M2™ security chip, security updates for 5 years, and the built-in security hub, your Pixel and your data are better protected than ever. The updated privacy and security features of Pixel help ensure that you are well-protected and that your personal data, photos, and other content remain private.
