Yes, the Pixel Watch is the thing. Google undoubtedly took some of the wind out of its own sails (and, perhaps, sales) by talking up a number of products we won’t be seeing for several months — and, in one case, a year — but let’s focus on the here and now for a moment. Well, a couple of months from now, I suppose.

Google’s budget-minded Pixel 6a was just announced, with a late-July arrival date. The device was announced a bit earlier in the year than 2021’s 5a, owing to supply chain issues with that product. But the release more or less maintains Google’s half-year flagship/budget device refresh cycle.
