Previously, when we reported about the first Pixel 6a render gallery, we spoke about how it would be a wise decision from Google to re-use the same Tensor chip fueling the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro innards. Well, fresh information claims that this might be the case, although there would be a trade-off in the camera department if consumers are willing to purchase this when it officially launches.

A Google Camera app APK teardown by the 9to5Google team revealed some interesting hardware decisions that Google may take when launching the Pixel 6a. Instead of the larger Samsung 50MP GN1 sensor found in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the more affordable Pixel 6a is expected to feature a primary 12.2MP Sony IMX363 sensor. Other units include an ultrawide 12MP Sony IMX386 camera, followed by a front-facing 8MP IMX355 shooter, both of which also belong to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
