Google Pixel 8a vs. Pixel 6a: Worth the upgrade?

[@StevealiciousTech]

If you already own a Pixel 6a, don't worry about it, unless...

[@jsaza7178]

My wife likes her 6a, doesn't even notice the 60hz. Her only complaint is that it's still too big, misses her old pixel 3a

[@DanielCont-vk7km]

Then she should wear an 8a because of the small size she has.

[@MichaelWeeks-d7i]

Even though the 6A has a 60 HZ screen if you do your research that 60 hz screen is the best of the best. That's when everyone is switching to 120 hz

[@jasonbaker5430]

Using the 6a everyday for the last 6 months, I can say I typically average 3.5 to 4 hours of screen on time a day with a lot of music streaming when the screen is off and and usually end the day with 45-50% battery remaining so battery life is no problem for me. Face ID is really the only feature the 8a has that i wish my 6a had. Im a machinist and have my hands covered in coolant for most of the day or I’m wearing gloves so Face ID would be handy but not enough for me to upgrade for. If something happens to my 6a and i have to get another phone it will likely be the 8a.

I had a 6a for a bit then upgraded to s23 . 🎉 I love my s23. The 6a was not a bad phone for the price .

[@5150crazyfun]

Usually I’m not one to advocate for upgrading every year or two because normally there aren’t that many noticeable improvements. However, I do believe the 8a would be worth upgrading to from a 6a. You get 7 years of updates, a brighter actua display, a slightly better g3 chip, a matte plastic back and an overall more refined design in my opinion. Especially if you have a 6a and wait until a sale, seems like trading in your 6a for an 8a is a no brainer.

Im 2 days away from upgrade from the pixel 6a and it was today that i learned about circle to search... Smh. Such a cool feature that I've had for who lnows how long but never knew

I hate the finger print detection in Pixel 6a from last 1+ year. The other issue of battery drain while you are travelling,it's a huge deal breaker where I constantly need to babysit the phone.I just bought a Pixel 8a on yesterday.i got it for INR 32,000 from Croma. The phone is one tier ahead of Pixel 6a

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

actually owned a pixel 6a my mum has it now i gave it to her she still uses it and love the device and shes very fussy with mobile as shes old and dont like tech to much i tried giving her many different mobile and she always gave them back and stuck with that old LG phone bought her years ago.. lol but i gave her the pixel 6a and told her this is a good phone etc and she never gave it aback to me she actually loves it... i got my pixel 8a its in white and man I lvoe this device very well put together android phone it is a bit pricey here in canada, but man its a good phone good job on google ;)

[@scottritcey5166]

Did you get the pre order deal through Best Buy $529?

[@CRYPTiCEXiLE]

@@scottritcey5166 no i order it on amazon i live in maritimes so where i live is small town we don't have best buy so I just order it on amazon no biggy, i'm happy with the device works good. :)

[@macrochipped]

Am I crazy for preferring the design language of the 6a?

[@sjn_]

Not at all. I don't like the curvy edges of the new Pixels. Makes it look like iPhone. And the worst? The upcoming 9 series even has a flat back and sides like the iPhones. The only thing I did not like on the 6a's is the camera strip being glass, would easily get scratched. For this reason, I feel the 7 series have the perfect design for a Pixel.

[@lypanov]

I adore it. Bit like my Lumia, another phone I adored - greate industrial design! But unlike the Lumia I haven't had an uncased phone for years... so just gonna take the 8A upgrade offer from my provider.

[@J0hnnyrenegxde]

The screen on the 6a is not bright at all when you're outdoors. Plus the camera is getting worse for some reason. Clearing cache doesnt really do anything. You can see some noise in photos and it can get annoying. Plus the glass back got so many scuff marks even though i use a phone case every single day. Id prefer the plastic back. Other than that..phone is still good. Would definitely get the 8a if something happens to this one though

[@steviecoleman9260]

Been using 6 months after it came out works pretty good still!

[@kaffeice7]

i have the 6a and i like it, gets hot tho with som apps cant say i like that, makes my hands sweat , but i like the phone , it literally a light version of a flagship ,very smooth very fast

[@MichaelWeeks-d7i]

I really had no issue with the fingerprint sensor on my 6A. Put on my 6 pro. Totally different story

[@StevealiciousTech]

Yup, they switched them out, thankfully.

[@Skinnyckoji]

I just picked up a new google pixel 6a for just about $110 after tax

[@MichaelWeeks-d7i]

I bought my pixel 6A last year for $49 through Metro PCS no strings attached

[@dmp3231966]

Steve my friend always a pleasure 8a is nice just to small for me so I got Samsung a35 5g I love it had s24 just to small didn't need ultra 1000 ain't necessary anymore unless it's a deal that can't be beat . Pixel they should make a phone 6.7 for the 9a that will come soon pixel 9 and pro it's in the works . Love 8a color also. Go you Steve always straight to the point...

[@sjn_]

6a is set to receive Android 15. I think, I will stick to it for a year more then probably move to Pixel 10 or something lol

[@YOURTECHFRIEND]

I'm on the 6a believe or not! - as a reviewer 😊 Brill phone

[@Angel_Peg]

Only issue pixel 6a can overheat no other issue

[@munizgringo4556]

I Still Use The Pixel 6a 💪💯

[@Shanz_vlog]

For buying 8a you can go to OnePlus 12r much better

[@DanielCont-vk7km]

Yo tengo mi pixel 6a y me gusta que sea mas grande que el 8a.

[@lazyrider6918]

Picked up my 6a about 6 months ago on Ebay in perfect condition for $100. Put my "flagship" Samsung s22 to rest until my contract is up and will sell it on Ebay. I work off my phone all day every day making calls, using GPS to get to my appointments to visit patients and families as a Hospice worker. Do all my personal banking, stock trading, social media etc without a hitch. Get through the day with battery to spare as I am on dark mode and keep everything streamlined. I can buy any phone I want and had Samsung Notes in past which I only loved the Note 4 which is a legendary phone. However, the Pixel stock Android experience and the camera keep me coming back to Pixel. No need to upgrade to anything yet. If you have a 6a or can pick one up for anything under $150, do it and save some money because you will not be wanting for anything. THE ONLY thing I wish were better was more brightness outdoors. Otherwise a GREAT phone.
