. Naturally, this is the successor to the Pixel 5a from last year. The device adopts the same physical design language as the Pixel 6, and it even has Google’s high-end Tensor mobile processor. One notable drawback to this approach: there’s no headphone jack. This may be a dealbreaker for some. The phone will have a 6.1-inch 1080p OLED screen, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. On the camera front, little has changed from previous A-series phones. You’ll get a 12.2MP primary and a 12MP ultrawide, but the real magic of Pixel cameras is in the software anyway. This phone will be available for pre-order on July 21 for $449., patching a gaping hole in its personal audio lineup. These buds are a little bulky-looking compared to the Pixel Buds A, but they can do a lot more. Google is particularly proud of the custom six-core audio processing chip that enables active noise canceling for the first time in Google’s Pixel family. Google says it uses something called “Silent Seal” to adapt to your ears and maximize the amount of sound canceled. They also have the pressure sensor and dynamic seal similar to the 2020 Pixel Buds, which can prevent that stopped-up feeling you get from other earbuds. They’ll retail for $199 when they launch on July 21.
