Google Pixel 6a faces Geekbench and beats Pixel 6
The launch of the Pixel 6a is not far away: the right opportunity for the presentation should be the Google I/O in May, although the launch would then be set for July according to rumors.
In any case, the fact that at the end of March even the photo of the alleged box emerged is a clue that the product exists and is already beginning to have a minimum of circulation. And another signal in this sense comes today from what is practically an initiation rite for new smartphones, namely the passage on the Geekbench benchmark platform.
TENSOR VS. TENSOR: TENSOR WINS
The curious thing is that, comparing the results recorded by the Pixel 6a with those of its older brother Pixel 6, it turns out that the new model – designed to be the cheapest of the Google flagship family – has scored slightly better both in single-core (1,050 of Pixel 6a against 1,044 of Pixel 6), and in multi-core (2,833 against 2,758 always advantaged by Pixel 6a).
In reality, such close numbers are part of the oscillations that can occur between one measurement and another. More than the indicator of a performance advantage, therefore, the benchmark should be a reassurance that the Pixel 6a will guarantee performance comparable to that of the superior model.
On the other hand, the heart of the Pixel 6a will be the same as the Pixel 6, or the Tensor SoC developed by Google and which made its debut just last year: easy image, therefore, that the performance can be overlapping.
But from the passage on Geekbench also emerges a difference, namely that relating to the amount of RAM: Pixel 6a has 6 GB (but it may not be the only cut available), while Pixel 6 instead mounts 8.
For the rest, according to rumors Pixel 6a should have a design in line with that seen on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro (and we even know that not even Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will change too much), a 6.2-inch Full HD + display with 90Hz refresh rate, a 4,800 mAh battery with support for fast charging at 30W and finally three cameras, with the front 8 MP, and the two rear (main and wide angle) both 12 MP.
