Top 10 Must-Watch Bollywood Romantic Movies Of All Time

Google I/O, the company’s annual developer conference, saw the unveiling of the Pixel 6a, the next-generation smartphone in the Pixel A-series range. The crowd erupted with enthusiasm when Google announced that the Pixel A-series will, for the first time, employ the same processor as its flagship smartphones: Google’s own Tensor chipset. Google’s Tensor processor is said to as a “milestone” in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) operations. Why? Well, owing to the custom-built SoC, the newest Pixel phones provide cutting-edge experiences. For example, you no longer need to use the to copy and paste foreign-language text into a translation programme (such as Google Translate).

To put it succinctly, the Pixel 6a should come with the same software perks as the Pixel 6. Now, you may be wondering, “How does the Pixel 6a differ from the Pixel 6? Why should I spend an extra $150 for the latter?” Well, you came to the right place. We’ll flesh out the differences between the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6a so that you can make an informed buying decision on which Google phone is best for you.

Google Pixel 6a (and, by extension, the Google Pixel 6 series). With the Live Translate feature, the Google Tensor chip can auto-translate your texts directly in Messages and WhatsApp. The Google Tensor chip also enhances computational photography features. For example, the processor powers Motion Mode, which can add motion effects to static photos and employ the long-exposure method to stabilize action-packed scenes.

The Pixel 6 undercuts its competitors with an alluring starting price tag of $599, a more attractive valuation compared to the $799 iPhone 13 and Samsung Galaxy S22. It’s packed with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, Google’s custom-made Tensor chip, and a 6.4-inch, 2400 x 1080-pixel display. If you want more storage (256GB), you’ll have to shell out an extra $100. The $449 Pixel 6a, sporting a 6.1-inch, 2400 x 1080-pixel display, is the bare-bones variant of the Pixel 6. With 6GB of RAM, it has less memory than the Pixel 6. It, too, offers 128GB of storage, but that’s the best you can get — there is no 256GB model. This may be an issue if you, like me, tend to store hoards of photos and videos, and you loathe seeing pesky “out of space” notifications that will inevitably appear after the pile up.

On the plus side, the same Tensor chip that electrifies the Pixel 6 series also powers Pixel 6a. With the next-generation A-series phone packing the same muscle as its “high-end” Pixel 6 series siblings, the Pixel 6a wins this round for giving consumers more bang for their buck. You can snag the Google Pixel 6 and the 6a at the Google Store, but the latter won’t be available for pre-order until July 21. Check out this quick guide on how to pre-order the Pixel 6a.  I always joke that the Pixel 6’s funky, camera-bearing black band reminds me of a sweatband-wearing tennis player. If Roger Federer’s head was more square shaped, he’d totally look like a Pixel 6. However, the more I look at the Pixel 6, though, it looks more like Star Trek’s Geordi La Forge.
