As we get closer to the Pixel 6a’s release, it will not be surprising to see more evidence of the upcoming mid-ranger appear in the form of leaks. The latest one pits the device against the Pixel 6 in a benchmark comparison, and surprisingly, the less expensive version was the better-performing one.

The image below from Geekbench shows the comparison between the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6a. It is surprising to see the upcoming mid-ranger doing slightly better than its more expensive sibling in both single-core and multi-core tests. Unfortunately, the difference in Geekbench is minimal, so it is unclear how many times the test was run. Perhaps, if Geekbench was run multiple times, the Pixel 6 may come out on time.
