A new leak has revealed the potential launch date of the long-awaited Google Pixel Watch and the Pixel 6a budget-friendly smartphone. It has only been a couple of months since the launch of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and it is the first real successful Google flagship. However, the budget versions of their flagship smartphones have always been their best-sellers, and the Pixel 6a should break their records after the success of its big brothers.

According to leaker Jon Prosser, Google will announce the Pixel Watch on May 26, 2022. The leaker claims that Google will launch this device at its annual I/O developer conference, which is generally held in May. Pixel Watch was originally planned to debut alongside the Pixel 6 series in October last year. However, it was delayed and the launch had been shifted to Q1, 2022. Now, it looks like we’ll receive the devices in Q2, 2022.
It is expected that the Pixel 6a will launch at the same event, making it the company’s most exciting Google I/O in terms of hardware in a long time. The Pixel 6a will have the same design language as the Pixel 6 series with a ‘camera bar’ at the back. It is expected to be powered by the same Tensor SoC that powers the Pixel 6 series. However, Google is set to cut some corners to bring down the cost of the device. Leaks claim that it will have a trimmed-down camera in comparison to the Pixel 6. It is also said to feature a polycarbonate back instead of a glass back.
Unfortunately, we don’t know too much about the Google Pixel Watch yet. Previous leaks and renders have suggested that the smartwatch will feature a round display. It’ll be powered by Google’s new Wear OS and will feature some exclusive watch faces and features. It is said to be powered by the same processor Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 runs on, i.e. the Exynos W920.
