From exceptional camera features to speech recognition to security you can trust, the Pixel 6a comes with powerful features — thanks to Google Tensor. Pixel 6a includes a dual rear camera setup – the main lens and an ultrawide lens. The camera is built to be versatile and adapt to your needs with features and technologies such as Night Sight, which makes low-light photography a breeze, Magic Eraser in Google Photos that makes distractions disappear, and Real Tone, which authentically represents all skin tones. Pixel’s interface, Material You, also enables you to extensively personalise the look and feel of your phone.
Pixel 6a comes with highly accurate speech recognition features including Recorder, Live Caption, and Live Translate. It also comes with an Adaptive Battery that can last over 24 hours and up to 72 hours when in the Extreme Battery Saver mode — a first for Pixel phones. Pixel 6a is built with an extra layer of hardware security in Google Tensor, which works with the Titan M2 security chip to give you the peace of mind that your sensitive data is safe.
In India, Pixel 6a is available in two classic, yet modern colours – Charcoal and Chalk. The smartphone will be available in a single storage variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Pixel 6a will receive five years of security updates, alongside the latest features and updates, introduced by Google. Pixel 6a will also be among the first Android devices to receive the upcoming Android 13 update.
Google is also expanding its earbuds offerings with Pixel Buds Pro, a perfect companion to the Pixel phone. Pixel Buds Pro will be available for purchase on Flipkart in India starting July 28, at an MRP of ₹19,990.
These premium earbuds create a quiet foundation so your music can shine. Active Noise Cancellation with Silent Seal adapts to your unique ear shape, and the earbuds fit in your ear canal to maximize the amount of noise blocked. Pixel Buds Pro brings full and rich sound at any level with Volume EQ, dynamically adapting to your listening volume and making subtle tweaks to the frequency curve.
Use Transparency mode for the moments when you don’t want to be fully immersed, like when running or crossing streets. Pixel Buds Pro processes a wide range of frequencies with low latency to keep the audio sounding natural and in sync. Pixel Buds Pro charges wirelessly and gives you up to 11 hours of listening time or up to 7 hours with Active Noise Cancellation turned on.
Google unveiled the Pixel 6a and Pixel Buds Pro earlier this year at I/O as part of its hardware portfolio announcements.
