The Pixel 6a and Pixel Watch may not be available anytime soon. As per recent sources, the Pixel 6a and Pixel Watch will not be released on the previously announced date. The Google Pixel 6a’s release date has been pushed back owing to a processor shortage. It is scheduled to go live later this month.

The Google Pixel 6a will be the Pixel 5a’s successor. It is, however, likely to be smaller than the Pixel 5a. The Pixel 6a will allegedly include a 6.2-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz/120Hz. The smartphone might be powered by Google’s customized Tensor chipset, which is presently used in the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, and Pixel 6 XL.
