The Pixel 6 series has a new addition – the mid-range Pixel 6a, which is now on sale in the UK and US.
The A-Series offer some of the core features seen on Google’s flagship Pixel phones for a fraction of the price. For example, the Pixel 6a has the same Tensor chip, and the rear design also remains largely similar.
If you’d like to get your hands on a Pixel 6a, then we have everything you need to know – including where you can buy the phone, the price of the handset and more.
You can read up on the specs of Google’s latest phone over on our Pixel 6a roundup, or find out what we think in our Pixel 6a review.

The Pixel 6a costs the following prices:
- US: $449
- UK: £399
- Euro: €459
- Australia: AU$749
