Google Pixel 6a long-term review: 5 months later

This is the Google Pixel 6a and Zach's experience with it after 5 months.

I have had mine since launch and it has been good overall. Great battery, reliable camera, good performance. The only things that bother me are the weaker cell signal and how it will randomly get warm for no apparent reason. I'll be interested to see what the pixel 7a offers next year.

Mine's been great since I got it a month ago. First time I haven't worried about battery life at all, and the performance (whether it's general usage or cameras) is stellar.

💡I'm still using my 4a love it and don't plan on upgrading till it dies.

Just ordered. Gonna be my first Pixel Ever!! Looking forward to it. Thanks for the great video

According to MKBHD research, this phone has the best camera

I like mine. The fingerprint sensor has been an adventure. It started "ok", got worse, then got much better, and now is not so great again. I miss the capacitive sensor of old which was always great. Other than that and some occasional connectivity weirdness, it's been great, as has android 13 (12 almost pushed me to an iphone).

💡 watching on 6a. It's good for me. It's can last until the end of the day and smooth UI.

04:03 "they are not the absolute best, you cant expect that here" - Pixel 6A went on to win the MKBHD blind camera test beating all the likes of iphones, s22 ultras and even the Pixel 7 Pro!

My pixel 3 runs just fine. Love the design, wireless charging and stable performance. Probably gonna hold onto it till 7a launches next year

[FNerd]

Got one at launch as I had broken my old 4a. It has been great, battery lasts me throughout the day and halfway into the next day no problem.

Viendo esto desde un pixel 6a, puedo decir que estoy muy satisfecho

So my sister and friend both got this phone. My sister has been fine and content with it. She had a OnePlus 7t beforehand. My friend kept having issues with signal, he ended up getting a pixel 7 and has had no issues with it.

My 6a has been good, I would like them to make it just a little smaller, like the pixel 4a or the pixel 3 if possible. Take my money Google

[dybo]

Should've talked about the security updates. 6a is covered for 5 years or up to 2027 which is well above the average of other phones. Most phones are only covered for 2-3 years.

The fingerprint scanner on the pixel 6 since they updated to A13 is just fine.

I honestly don't even notice it anymore.

On Android 12 though, it was extremely frustrating.

Theres a bunch of devs over at XDA that managed to unlocked 90hz for the 6A successfully. Worth trying

[jthwang]

I feel like I'm being dragged kicking and screaming into the future. I eventually got over the replaceable battery thing, but I still can't part with the headphone jack.

Just bought mine a couple of weeks ago at 290£ and I can't really complain 👍🏻

[OmarZ]

I just got mine 2 days ago. Absolutely love it. Coming from an iPhone 13 and yup definitely staying with the 6A. Battery life is also a huge improvement.

💡Nice! I have the Pixel 6 and yes ever since Android 13 it's been good.
