This is the Google Pixel 6a, but it's also NOT what I think many of us have come to expect..
See, we’ve known this Pixel “a” series as the company’s most successful lineup ever, but it’s also more of a nod to the past. Just like the early days of the Pixel, the Nexus also started as a premium offering, only for things to not pan out, and for the company to shift strategies with the Nexus 4 in creating the world’s first flagship killer.
In sort-of the same approach, the Pixel 3a was a genius move. Instead of only focusing on one phone, you could choose between flagship and mid-ranger, with the benefit that great photography became a Pixel trait across the board. It was pretty irresistible at just $399, but then Google kept experimenting. Over the next two years we saw all Pixels tip completely to become mid-rangers, but then this year, it seems the formula is now to go hard on defying the establishment.
So sure, even if the Pixel 6a is a successor to every “a” variant we’ve seen before, it’s different because it’s not really a mid-ranger, and sure, I wouldn’t call it a flagship either. At a time when most heroes have lived long enough to become the villain, this phone is something else. I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and let's dive into our full review.

I feel like the 6a is the android version of what the iPhone minis were for Apple. You get the same flagship experience with very few features missing for a more affordable price. I can’t believe most have gotten so hung up on the 60 hertz display they fail to see we got a great deal. We could’ve gotten a lesser processor or an LCD screen. I just ordered a 6a because for $480 with tax you won’t find a better sub $500 flagship device with few compromises.

It’s the cancer of ppl listen to much to some reviewers that to hung up in stuff. 90 120 Herz not such a big deal. Have u ever considered an iPhone slow like the iPhone 13? No 60hrz screen feels fast. This phone as well. Then the one plus n20 is fast as well with a great screen. Now u take the a53 that is a total mess with the 120hrz screen u actually have to turn it off to 60 to make it less of choppy mess. Same for wireless charging. It is way more inefficient degrades batteries much much quicker. So I take a nice screen fluid phone over potential choppiness with 120hrz or wireless charging with smaller battery or loosing other more important features. Like wireless charging but then getting an lcd instead. So I think the 6a a great trade offs. Same as one plus did a much better job with the n20 it’s actually a real gem as well. Just u want get any great software support at all. Keep that in mind.

@@graeme66 using a pixel is a totally different experience. It feels the most refined android way. And if Google finally really is hardware wise also committed to it then I see great things in the future. The 7 is an improvement to the 6. But u can't go wrong with either. It's like iphone 12 to 13. Just a tiny increase with some more tricks and enhancements that where needed now google just needs to refine the phones each year also 3 years seems like a good upgrade level I mean 4 is great as Samsung does. But 3 is fine. Considering pixel phones are cheaper flagship phones. 3 years is a good time. I don't think the phone will go more then 3 4 years anyway before they need to be replaced. So it's all good.

I come to the pixel 6a with blissful ignorance as I have never used a display higher than 60 hz, but I have to say, my experience is that it feels VERY fluid and responsive. I feel like the 6a is not really intended for people already used to upper end devices (if they can afford the flagships and such, why in the world would they downgrade?) but rather is intended for people like me, looking to step UP into a higher quality phone without paying $1000. I am extremely satisfied so far.

Great video, thanks for keeping it real and focusing on real world use. I love my Pixel 6a and it's wonderful performance. The screen is excellent, screw all the misdirected hype about the "sub-par" 60hz refresh rate. People seem to want to compare a $900 phone with a $450 phone and then gripe about the differences. Duh, of course paying twice the money gets you better specs. However, most people buying this midrange are likely coming from another midrange with a similar 60hz refresh. I have used a 90hz display in the past, and for me it's not worth the battery drain.

Preordered this phone and am happy with it, Tensor definitely gets a bit toasty but less so on Android 13 beta and in pretty much all ways Android 13 is going to benefit this phone. Fingerprint sensor is faster though sometimes it seems to ignore me. Still, given I got $300 in trade for my 4a5G and free Pixel Buds A, this is a win of the highest order...

We have to keep things in perspective too, this is a phone. A phone that was consistently priced at $299 all through the holiday season. I've recorded some family videos with this phone over the holidays, and it's perfectly fine for sharing with family over KZbin.

What people are forgetting is that these phones were made for a specific audience--not tech reviewers and content creators. These people are not looking for wireless charging or a 120 refresh rate. And that was the same for the other a models. These are the people who will not be buying an iPhone, nor will they get the cheapest. Most people get a phone to make calls, text, watch content and snap a few pics. They're willing to spend a little more because they want the phone to last more than a year to 18 months. They'll see it at the carrier and pick it up as a special, etc. What they won't like is the missing charge brick--but Google wasn't the first to do that.

I had a flip 3 too. But the Pixel experience is unique and better than iOS and Samsung UI personally so I kept coming back to the Pixel. I went from Pixel 6 Pro -> Pixel 6 -> Pixel 5 -> and now Pixel 6a. I feel the Pixel 6a is the best among all of them and a reasonable size/good for money device. The 60hz screen doesn't bother me at all after using it for a few days. I even used the 120hz screen on the 6 Pro but 6a is not noticeably slow or as smooth as the 6 Pro. I think Google fixed a lot of minor issues over time as when I was using the 6 Pro and the 6 they had a lot of minor issues.

How good is haptic feedback? How are phone call quality? Are proximity sensor work flawless? And last question....is the ear speaker to loud? For example, on Galaxy s21 is way to loud....when someone is speaking to me, everyone can hear what is coming from my ear speaker ( not loudspeakers, they are off during call). Thamks for answers

I can only speak for my 6a experience but haptic feedback is really good on the phone, not intrusive like some other devices I've had. Call quality has been excellent for me and I've also had no issue with cell connection that some people said was an issue with prior pixels. I don't believe I've used the proximity sensor so cannot comment but the ear speaker is fine no issues there.

@@hman1801 thanks. Of course you used proximity sensor, you are using it all the time. This is the sensor that turn off screen when you put phone near the ear during phone calls.... This is important to me because i personaly do lot's of phones calls, and on My current device,proximity is mess, it always turn screen on when phone is on my ear, and i always accidentally trigger various toggles....

@@alsamdobar My mistake I misread and thought you were referring to the NFC contactless payment sensors which I have not used. My experience with the proximity sensors as they relate to phone calls has been fine. I have had no issues with any aspect of the calling and texting aspect of this phone. Like I mentioned before I have seen where Pixel 6 and 6 pro users had complained about cellular connectivity but I believe Google released multiple software updates that addressed those issues so maybe that is why the 6a seems to work fine.

Check out flossy carter's video. Apparently, Google records your use to preserve the battery to make it last longer so sometimes that leads to slower and partial charging so it will show 100% but, it may be only 80%. You can "Trick" your phone to use the battery normally at the cost of normal lithium degradation if you choose.
