The Google Pixel 6a is set to officially launch on 28 July 2022, but it looks like Google may already have to make some tweaks to its software due to a rather problematic bug. According to various tech personalities that are reviewing the smartphone, the in-display fingerprint sensor is allowing almost anyone to unlock the device despite their biometrics are not registered to the device.

The Google I/O 2022 event held earlier today showcased new products that have been in the works by the tech giant, including the Pixel 6a launched during the event and the Pixel Tablet, due for release in 2023. Google also give several updates regarding its software, including a new feature in Android 13 which allows for copy and paste across devices.

Google may be releasing the much anticipated Google Pixel 6a at its annual developer conference next month after the device was potentially spotted getting FCC listing. The timing of the listing aligns perfectly with Google I/O which will take place this 11 May in Mountain View, California.

The Google Pixel 6a, the latest mid-range smartphone from the tech giant is expected to be released soon and it could potentially be faster than the regular Pixel 6. Specs-wise, the ‘Pixel a’ lineup has traditionally been inferior to the regular Pixel, but this time around it might be different.

According to a leaked Geekbench listing, the Pixel 6a actually beats the standard version in terms of performance. In fact, while minimal, the Pixel 6a actually outperforms the Pixel 6 in single-core and multi-core scores.
