Google may announce Pixel 6a at the I/O 2022 event, but it's not all good news

THE Google I/O event will start from May 11 and continue until the next day, May 12. The event will see a lot of announcements from the search giant, including a new Pixel 6a, according to leaker Jon Prosser.

As per the leaker, the I/O event will see only the announcements of the rumored Pixel 6a phone, but users may have to wait until July for the new Pixel phone to hit the market. Prosser claims that Pixel 6a will be available from July 28 in most markets.

Google will reportedly show a teaser of a new Pixel Watch at the I/O event, but the smartwatch won’t get a formal announcement there. Prosser says that Google will formally announce the Pixel Watch along with Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro smartphones in October.

Leaker @Shadow_Leak has also corroborated the launch date of the Pixel 6a, saying that it’ll be available from July 28. The leaker also says the 6a is codenamed “Bluejay.” The leaker posted the upcoming Pixel phone specifications on Twitter, but we already know some of that.
