Google Pixel 6a Review: Not What I Expected!

The Pixel 6a’s price makes it very very attractive. Google’s literally giving us the exact same flagship chip you’d find in the more expensive Pixel 6 & 6 Pro. But with that lower price, you know there’s going to be compromises. There always is. This is my review of the Google Pixel 6a.

✌️ Flip4, Fold4, Watch5, Buds2Pro… what review do you want to see first?!

[StoicOutlaw]

Many tech reviewers complained about this phone being 60hz but didn't say anything about the iPhone 14 being 60hz and still having a notch in 2022 which starts at $800 in the us or $1000 in Europe.

My one reason for loving pixel phones are all the subtle details that Google just gets right. The at a glance widget which displays extremely useful info based on my schedule, now playing, real time translation in text apps. Also welcome back Thao! ❤️

So good to see you back and congrats!!

I have to say I like how you keep your comments real, I also like how your examples are real world performances and you do not give benchmarks which the average person could care less about. Keep them 100

It's nice to see phones at the price that are pretty decent. Not everyone can or want to spend 1000$+ on a high end model. I find that in Canada the offerings in the mid tier category is somewhat limited. Most carrier will offer a plethora of high end devices, a few low budget phones but no much in between. Phones like this one or the A-53 are needed more than ever.

Welcome back! I really enjoy your reviews. Thank you so much for not focusing just on the refresh rate. This 6a in my opinion is a lot of phone for $450 or less if you are able to take advantage of Googles trade in deal. Also, the camera is still really quite good.

I hope more manufacturers start to move away from glass backs.

Just brought this is a black Friday deal at £299 unbelievable value at that price!

Congrats on the baby and I enjoyed the review! I have the regular Pixel 6 and still watch Pixel reviews to interact with the community. This phone is definitely a keeper and I'm lucky to never have had problems on my 6 like others. I just upgraded to Android 13 and getting less than stellar battery life but it needs to adapt to my usage again. That'll take what? A week or two? Again, great video!

No lie, your review got me wanting to pic up a google phone just to explore the features and the camera. Always making great content Thao Thank you 🙏🏾

[michelejp]

Thank you for all the tips and tricks - I wasn’t aware of most of them. I grabbed one for £280 as a back up to my 14 pro max and guess what, I’m selling the pro max! When you compare a mid range budget to a high end flagship, you realise you’ve been foolish and just a flexer. Gorgeous baby and glad you’ve found the time to put this review together.

60Hz is definitely acceptable still. The difference is minimal, most you'd have to show them side by side.

[brokenheart]

We were waiting for your reviews for a long time. Feel good when you are back 👍

[damnhockey]

Excellent honest review, it is great seeing your reviews and opinions. Congratulations on your new baby.

[heinrich]

Got it this week and I am blown away by it, coming from a Huawei P10 Plus from 2017. Thanks for the tips with the app switcher and double tap on the back.

[wascallywabbit]

Thao, congratulations to you and your hubby on the birth of your child; a beautiful, healthy looking baby. The miracle gift of a child is a wondrous, constantly unfolding adventure. All the best to you and your family as you experience your bundle of joy.

[DeVinaire]

Congrats on your newborn Thao!!! Such a blessing!!!

[sage_fx]

Great Review. You didn't review it based on flagship phones. You understood the audience for this sort of phone and reviewed it accordingly. I can afford flag ship prices but I don't want to spend all that. I love this phone It's not perfect but I find even the more expensive phones aren't perfect either. Well done!

[jbudwal]

Hi Thao, how are you? I have been using the Pixel A for a few days, and I must say, it is a fantastic phone. For my usage and budget, it was the perfect choice for me. I even bought the Pixel A for my parents; they love it.
