Google Pixel 6 announced it will take on the iPhone SE 3 at Google IO 2022 (*6*)The Google Pixel 6a was confirmed at the Google IO 2022 keynote (we have a live blog for the entire event here). The name was mentioned on stage.

(*6*)It's a cheap twist on the Google Pixel 6, judging at least from the 'a' in its name and series conventions. So far though, we are waiting to hear more about the phone.

(*6*)Google has just confirmed the existence of the Pixel 6a and now presents the new Android phone. This is breaking news and we are constantly updating it with new information as it arrives, so please refresh this page for updated details.

(Image credit: Future)(*3*)What we know (*6*) The Google Pixel 6a costs €449; so far we do not know the prices in other places. Pre-orders start... July 21? It's so far away! It exists in white, black or greenish.

(*6*)The phone has a 6,1-inch screen, with a hole-punch cutout like other Pixel 6 phones. It has a similar design with the same camera bar, but with smaller lenses.

(*6*)There's a 12MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera, located on that thick bar. Some camera features carry over from the Pixel 6, including Magic Eraser to remove distracting extras in photos.

(*6*)That's thanks to the Google Tensor chip which, again, carries over from older phones; this should make the Pixel 6a just as powerful as those other devices.
