The Google Pixel 6a is being sold on Amazon India for around Rs. 37,800, which is much lower than its price on Flipkart. However, there is a catch. The units being retailed on Amazon are likely imported and not covered under the brand’s one-year warranty scheme. Hence, Flipkart should be the obvious choice as Google also chose it as its delivery partner in India.
Why does this story matter?
- Google has introduced the Pixel 6a as its new smartphone in India after a two-year hiatus. Between 2020 and 2022, the Pixel 5 and Pixel 6 series made their global debut but were never introduced to our shores.
- The Pixel 6a combines good looks with decent performance and great cameras. Pixel fans here should rejoice and grab it as soon as possible.
