Google Pixel 6a has previously opened reservations on July 21, and will be officially launched on July 28, priced at 459 euros (about 3162.51 yuan) or 399 pounds (about 3231.9 yuan) in Europe. Some Indian bloggers have gotten the phone in advance, but found that the machine has serious security problems and can unlock the phone even without a fingerprint recorded.
According to Indian blogger Geekyranjit test, only one of his two thumbs recorded fingerprints, but both thumbs can unlock the phone, after that he also tested the Nothing Phone (1) with the same conditions, but the fingerprint test result of Nothing Phone (1) is normal.
Another blogger, Beebom, even found that multiple people without fingerprints were able to unlock his Google Pixel 6a after testing, so the security of the phone was not guaranteed at all.
Last year’s Google Pixel 6 had a similar problem, fingerprint recognition was slow, and there was also feedback from a user that his wife’s finger was not recorded into the fingerprint could also unlock his phone, which was eventually found to be caused by a substandard screen protector, although this year’s Google Pixel 6a uses a different fingerprint sensor, but how common this potential security problem is remains to be seen.
The Google Pixel 6a features a 6.1-inch FullHD+ 60Hz OLED screen protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The center of the screen has a punch-out for the 8MP selfie camera and supports under-screen fingerprinting. The back of the device features a horizontal bar with an LED flash and two cameras: a 12.2-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera. Other highlights include a self-developed TenSor processor, stereo speakers, IP67 dust and water resistance rating, 5G connectivity, and a built-in 4410 mAh battery with 18W charging support.
