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

33 Comments

1. 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

2. I got mine for $50 bucks plus tax with my 4A trade in on black Friday….I'm happy so far

3. The 6a is honestly the first smartphone that I have outright regretted buying. The in-screen fingerprint reader is a big downgrade from a dedicated rear reader that lets me unlock the phone as I pull it from my pocket. I leave it in battery save mode all the time because it doesn't get through a day otherwise. Cell and GPS signal is incredibly flaky compared to my 3a and my iPhone SE. And the phone overheats almost every time I record a video when Photos starts syncing it.

4. I can understand the criticism on this phone at release price, but for 300$? Simply the best value phone on the market.

5. 💡 Have had mine for almost 3 weeks. Biggest complaint is the display and how picky it is with chargers. It's otherwise a great device.

6. I have one sitting on my office shelf, bought new on launch. Opening the screen with the fingerprint reader SUCKS, repeat it SUCKS and will always Suck. Done all the fixes, updates, reregister, still sucks. I hold finger long enough, sucks. Got a Pixel 7 (generally love pixels). In daylight or decent indoor light both the facial recognition and the FP reader are good. The facial is excellent most often in lighted situations. In dim light/dark plan on entering your pin. I cannot understand how anyone would recommend a phone that 50 to 100 times a day, you have to fight to get it open (6a). I'll trade it on an Pixel 8xxx whenever they launch next fall. BIG FAIL on the screen FP reader on 6a, BTW the REAR FP reader on previous pixels was FINE. Froggy.

7. Im getting the charcoal from bestbuy today.i wanted the green but it wasnt in stock.i cant wait.i hope mine is good.

8. What launcher is that? It reminds me of the old HTC phones

9. Just picked up a Pixel 6 on a 2 year tab for $6 monthly, the best part about the deal was they'd take $16 off my next 15 bills!

   So not only do I get the phone dirt cheap my phone plan is now $10 cheaper for 15 months, such a good deal!

10. Sounds like nip picking, the phone is more than adequate especially at that price, not to mention the great software experience and support.

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

12. 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.

13. 💡

14. well the 6a is a lot smaller than the 6, thats why i bought it.

15. 💡Great video, great phone!

16. I do enjoy my pixel 6a I will hold on to it for a while coming from the republic of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🇹🇹

18. Anyone having screen corner touch issues?

19. For me 120hz and 60hz not that noticable for day to day uses

20. Does anyone have a link for the wall @1:40

22. $150 Black Friday + $200 Trade-in= $124 it's what I paid. I like it, it's a good backup phone. But the fingerprint is really bad

26. I've got one for work and besides wireless charging missing, it's a good phone for the price. Looking forward to the 7A.

27. Here in the states yes, the pixel six a is 299 and there’s not another new phone in that price bracket that comes close to that. value.

28. 💡 💯

29. Got this on sale for 299 which is a total steal for a phone that keeps up with more expensive flagship phones

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

33. 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).
