Google Pixel 6a rumoured to run on a Tensor chip

We've already seen rumours about the Google Pixel 6a's design, but now we're learning more about the device. A new report from 9to5Google talks about its processor and the cameras the rumoured smartphone will get. Unsurprisingly, it will reportedly run on Google's new Tensor GS101 processor. It makes sense, given that Google has been hyping up its new processor. They would want to use it on more devices.

As for its cameras, the website's APK Insight team did a teardown of the Google Camera app and found that the Pixel 6a (codenamed Bluejay) will get the 12.2-megapixel Sony IMX363 sensor that's been used in past Google phones from the Pixel 3 to the 5a. But it will supposedly get the Pixel 6's 12-megapixel IMX386 sensor, which will most likely serve as the ultra-wide camera on the Pixel 6a. It will also reportedly get the Pixel 6's 8-megapixel IMX355 sensor for the front-facing camera.

Pixel 6a leak suggests the headphone jack is going away

Google Pixel 6 might only be a few weeks old, but the rumours on its more budget-friendly counterpart have begun pouring in. Well-known tipster OnLeaks and 91Mobiles have shared Pixel 6a renders that give the mid-range phone a look similar to the more premium Pixel 6. It gets the phone's signature camera bar, centred hole-punch selfie camera, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Unlike other "a" models, though, there are rumours that the Pixel 6a will get rid of its headphone jack.

Specs-wise, not much is known yet. But that's understandable given that the "a" series phone is usually released later in the year. The Pixel 6a is rumoured to get a 6.2-inch OLED screen with dual cameras. But it isn't known if Google will develop a lower-cost Tensor chip or use a third-party processor for this handset.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra tipped to get a 200MP Olympus camera

As the rumour mill for the next Samsung flagship turns, expect to hear different leaks about the "Galaxy S22" series. The latest one from a Korean publication citing industry sources claims that the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a 5-lens, 200-megapixel camera sensor created in collaboration with Olympus. Samsung has reportedly agreed to the camera maker's terms after reaching out to work with the smartphone maker. 

According to the same report, S Pen support will reportedly carry over to this model, too. The next question is whether it will be bundled into the phone. It will be a long wait to find out the truth about this device as we expect it to come out by early next year.
