Pixel 6a rumored to launch at Google I/O, Pixel 7 series and Pixel Watch coming in October

With this year’s Google I/O already scheduled for May 11-12 we’ll have our first event of the year hosted by the search giant. As is normally the case Google announces the latest version of Android alongside some new hardware.

Pixel 6a is expected to follow the design of the Pixel 6 series but with a more compact form factor and a 6.2-inch OLED screen. The phone will use the same Tensor chipset and will bring 12.2MP Sony IMX363 main sensor and a 12MP Sony IMX355 ultrawide shooter housed in a visor on the back.
