Why you should not buy Google Pixel 6a on Amazon
The Google Pixel 6a is being sold on Amazon India for around Rs. 37,800, which is much lower than its price on Flipkart. However, there is a catch. The units being retailed on Amazon are likely imported and not covered under the brand's one-year warranty scheme. Hence, Flipkart should be the obvious choice as Google also chose it as its delivery partner in India.
Why does this story matter?
Google has introduced the Pixel 6a as its new smartphone in India after a two-year hiatus. Between 2020 and 2022, the Pixel 5 and Pixel 6 series made their global debut but were never introduced to our shores. The Pixel 6a combines good looks with decent performance and great cameras. Pixel fans here should rejoice and grab it as soon as possible.
Take a look at what Pixel 6a offers
The Google Pixel 6a sports a top-centered punch-hole cut-out with slim bezels and an under-display fingerprint reader. On the rear, it has a dual-tone design with a blacked-out full-width camera bar. The phone bears a 6.1-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It is up for grabs in Charcoal and Chalk colors in India.
It gets an 8MP selfie shooter
The Google Pixel 6a has a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 12.2MP (f/1.7) primary snapper and a 12MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide sensor. On the front, there is an 8MP (f/2.0) camera for taking selfies and video calling.
It houses a 4,410mAh battery
The Google Pixel 6a is backed by a Google Tensor chipset, paired with a Titan M2 coprocessor, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. Under the hood, the device boots Android 12. The smartphone draws power from a 4,410mAh battery, which supports 18W fast charging. Connectivity options include 5G, GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a Type-C port.
