Google's Pixel 6A Comes With Google Add-Ons on 36-Month Pact

Google’s latest mid-priced smartphone, Pixel 6a, launched at various carriers last week, loaded with incentives. UScellular began taking pre-orders Thursday, offering the 6a with no money down -- with Google Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds and “an assortment” of Google Nest smart home products -- for customers buying a 36-month installment contract. The offer is available on the Unlimited Everyday and Even Better plans. The 6.1-inch phone has 12-megapixel wide and ultra-wide cameras; an adaptive battery that learns which apps are used most and conserves power on those not used; and IP67-rated water protection. It's powered by Google's Tensor processor.
