Pixel 6a dummy confirms in-display fingerprint reader, no 3.5 mm headphone jack

07 December 2021
The new mid-range Pixel phone will look like the flagship 6-series and will probably share its chipset too - just not its camera sensors.

Sort by:

Again, might as well cancel it if old sensor is used. Nobody would like to use a 2017 sensor in 2022.

            GAMIRSFM, 07 Dec 2021Here's the sad times now, no headphone jacks on midran... moreWell I hope that day never comes and also hope that we still retain some good mid-rangers with a HP jack.
            But BBK+Xiaomi have already been removing it from a large chunk of their phones, so the Pixel isn't new here, plus the Pixel certainly is no trend-setter in terms of features/hardware/design (due to the low sales). If that were the case, we would've seen more compact phones and more camera focused mid-rangers.

                I hope it fails spectacularly for-
                1. Removing the HP jack
                2. Using the same old gosh darn sensors!

                  Anonymous, 07 Dec 2021Nice!!! I don't like 3.5mm hole in my phone. Move... moreThere is no advantage gained by removing the jack. The jack is a feature and if you remove it the phone has 1 less feature which is obviously a bad thing regardless if you use it or not

                    Nothing surprising. Pixel is yet to make a good phone. Well maybe "good" isn't the right word, but rather something that would make people choose a Pixel over a Samsung for example

                          I bet the finger print sensor works better on the dummy phone than it does on the real phone. If the Pixel 6 is anything to go by...

                            The very old camera sensors and huuge display ?

                            Yeaaah this 6a isn't going to make it.

                              Here's the sad times now, no headphone jacks on midrange phones, low-end phones are next.
                              Then what? Everyone will be blasting music from the phone's speakers?

                                  They should make the phone out of aluminium just like the dummy.

                                      Of course they won't include a headphone jack. Why am I not surprised?

                                        AnonD-1018516, 07 Dec 2021Don't worry y'all, this is just a dummy and thing... moreThe dummy is for making cases, so they won't add a headphone jack, they won't change the size, they won't change the cameras, they won't change the holepunch, they won't change the fingerprint sensor, they won't change the speakers. They can't change pretty much anything outside what's inside.
