Why did you swap?

[@RidwanGosal]

@@Mr0utsider I can speculate. ROG phone aged terribly and Asus doesn't have robust software update policy unlike its competitors.

The refresh rate debate is honestly hilarious. Yes, it's a letdown, but it isn't a deal breaker. Heck, I don't see ppl making a fuss over iPhone 13 and iPhone SE lack of high refresh rate. These phones sell like a hot cake.

The ROG II screen got damaged. Repair cost too high in India so switched to Pixel. ROG 6 launch in India is too far.

Great review. Like how you say what it truly brings to the table with examples of the smart capabilities no other phone line has. So many reviewers miss the mark with Pixels including the million+ viewer club which I won't name. Its worth noting that its all better on the 6 standard that came before it. It's just a great all rounder and worth the little extra compared to what this brings. Cheers

[@xeon2k8]

sorry but those youtubers you indirectly mention recommend going for 5a which is cheaper and way better value that this one since you get almost all the AI (except removing people from pics ,so sad) and gives you better battery life to top it all off, whereas here he doesnt even mention this.

[@user-wt2ei7so4v]

Mr. Mobile how is the reception? If you didn't know, the Google Tensor chip used in the Pixel 6 Pro, 6, and 6a has the 5123b modem made by Samsung. This is a problem because reports and reviews of the 6 Pro and 6 say that reception is bad with loss of signal, dropped signals, and trouble with finding networks. As this is a phone... this should be a very important topic that everyone should talking about, but almost no one is...

[@jet_peach]

For sure. What happened to reviewers caring about the #1 most important thing in a phone?!? I have a pixel 6 and it's driving me nuts- maybe it's not _always_ my side (it's hard to know every time), but the percentage of times people struggle to hear me or I can't hear them during calls has rocketed up since my pixel 5

[@gideon4942]

Did you get an answer to this?

[@StargazerC38]

Excellent review, as always. Far too many reviewers spent way too much time highlighting the shortcomings of the phone. Whereas, you gave such a balanced review. Mine arrived yesterday and I absolutely love it. It's been a very great experience so far. No overheating or connection issues. The fingerprint reader works just fine. I'm loving it!

[@kld2009]

I get mines Monday. 😊

[@Andrew-cp7mc]

That's the most balanced review I have seen so far, even though I have decided to wait for the Pixel 7 anyway. It also comes down to what you are currently using, as to what features you cannot compromise on. For me on my Pixel 5, it is too much of a downgrade to a 6a for the features I enjoy, e.g., I cannot lose wireless charging plus I like the small form factor. And I already enjoy all the smart Google AI stuff on my current Pixel 5 like call screening. So lets see whether Pixel 7 can convince me it is a worthy upgrade.

[@Cracky003]

I'm leaning 6a, as the 7 leaks don't excite me. My 3 just got it's last security patch, and only because it was a critical issue. At least the 6a is cheap and will tide me over with software for a couple more years.

[@derekisthematrix]

The 6a is essentially a downgraded 5. Worse battery, no headphone jack, no wireless charging, same camera. I'd go 6 or 6pro as you can likely find a good deal out there and you get the new camera hardware. The value proposition for the 6a just isn't there.

[@derekisthematrix]

@@Cracky003 the 6a isn't really much of any upgrade from the 3. I went from 3 to 6pro and if it weren't for the telephoto lens, I would have been severely disappointed. My wife still has her 3 and image quality is only marginally better on the pro and the front camera is MUCH better on the 3 due to autofocus.

[@Cracky003]

@@derekisthematrix for me it's about continuing to get software updates. As long as night sight still works, then the camera is good enough for my job, and that's about all I care about on the camera end. I want my phone to still be smallish, and get security updates and run android. There just isn't much for me. The 6a is just cheap and will hold me over until some one turns out what I want. The Zenfone 9 is close, but idk if asus does any updates to their phones.

[@Andrew-cp7mc]

@@derekisthematrix I find 6 too big, 7 coming in Oct (rumored) so just 2 months away. 7 is slightly smaller than 6 so lets see.

[@CoolTies]

Love the Pixel 6 (non-A) except the screen would never have the right brightness setting. Like the ambient sensor was inaccurate. I had to constantly adjust the brightness. If it weren’t for this one problem, I’d have kept the phone. Yes, this was after months of software updates from Google. If it weren’t for the screen it was the best smartphone.

[@aghastinagharta]

We're talking mobile devices here and since they rely on that sweet sweet battery juice, it means you can use your device for a longer period of time using the 60Hz screen refresh rate instead of 90Hz and above. I'm definitely willing to sacrifice the smoothness over longevity on a single charge. Actually, This is exactly what I do, because my phone supports 120Hz, but locking the refresh rate to 60Hz has made much more sense.

[@zombi6535]

Well it doesn't really make sense to buy a 120hz device just to use it at 60hz

Saying it doesn't make sense is senseless, maybe he has a device that has all the other features he wants/needs, but he doesn't want the 120Hz or 5G, as he mentioned they drain so much battery it's more useful for him to get more battery life.

[@ccroy2001]

Since the trade in deal on older Pixels was so good I traded my 4a for a 6a. I also have a TCL phone and when I can't screen a call is when I really miss a Pixel. So far my 6a is beautiful and a great value and it's going through battery quickly but it is only day one.

[@earthling_parth]

I also never understood the refresh rate thing. Yes, side by side with a higher refresh rate screen it becomes noticeable but in day to day use you don't notice it.

[@Jaco3920]

It is extremely noticeable if you have recently used a high refresh rate display on any other device (tablet, computer monitor, etc). Whether or not it's a dealbreaker depends on if you have those other devices and if that bothers you.

[@the-shork]

I have one as my main monitor on my PC and I can notice it just by moving a window around but I obviously got it for gaming. I don't really care if my Twitter feed scrolls at 60 or 120Hz as long as it's smooth. 60Hz also saves battery (though to be fair, the 6 Pro has a screen that potentially saves more by being able to lower the refresh rate way down when it's not needed

[@seanh1988]

Agreed @Earthling, I have a 90hz tablet and 60hz phone. When going between the two it isn't noticeable at all. Higher refresh rate is just another gimmick for manufactures to up sell you on.

[@LexeLite]

It's like 1080P, 2K and 4K display on a phone, 60Hz is minimum, anything above that is extra. Also for me, I prefer a long lasting battery than high refresh rate screen.

Plus you can just count on every time I take a photo it will come out great! My pixel 5 has been great. Every now and then it does lag but nowhere near bad enough to where I wish I had an iphone or Samsung. Pixel has been the best Android phone I've ever used. I've had Samsung, OnePlus, HTC, LG and the pixel has just been amazing. It's the first Android phone that I plan on keeping until it's no longer supported by Google.

I came to 6a from iPhone Xs and can't complain about the battery that much. I run it like a mad man , so never expect 1 day of use but it works for 14-16 hours for me, good enough. Could be better considering 60 hz but it's ok. Charging twice is better than charging thrice. After the June update, fingerprint headache is a lot better. I honestly miss the XS. This is a great phone but my XS would have lasted another 2 years no problem. Irony is , processor is equally powerful as the XS which is almost 4 years old now 😂

[@Patrikch100]

Problem is some country like mine Czechia is that Pixels are not officially avaible here. You can buy them via local shops but it is more priceier or buy it via Amazon frim Gernana or France. But both have the same result, you put Czech SIM there and 5G automaticly disabled. Here you have Galaxy A53, Nothing Phone, Motorola Edge 30 or even OnePlus Nord 2T or Vivo V23. I Will not talk About Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro because of almost No software support, laggy MIUI and adds baked into system. You also can byu used A-grade or only unboxed Galaxy S21 FE or Z Flip3 for almost the same price. And do not forget Samsung's also have Eraser or unblur in Gallery.

[@Exedorable]

Y'know, honestly the main thing holding me back from trying a pixel is their odd decision to put the power button above the volume rocker. But since I'm watching this on my old BlackBerry Priv 😊 I might not even remotely be their target market 😇

[@HZA0]

Yesss, BlackBerry gang! I have a Passport, which is still going not too badly considering how old it is, but I was contemplating getting a 6A. Ultimately though I've decided to go for a Nothing Phone 1 as I heard Pixels are pretty buggy. Plus the Phone 1 has more higher end features and a pretty unique design as well - I don't wanna be going from having a BB to any random modern smartphone lol, as I'm sure you can relate. I wish the 5g BB didn't go pear-shaped, cos I wouldn't have been considering other phones if I could get that.

[@Exedorable]

Ironically I did get the 6a and wow what a beast of a phone. I'm enjoying it even more than a Note10+ and yes a few bugs have been around (but they're always there, even on iphones) but this phone is outstanding! 😯👏

[@Arrozconchopsticks]

​@@Exedorable hey I enjoyed my old Note 10 Plus, but the 6a is a little beast. One day I'll get another big phone but I'll enjoy this.

[@Exedorable]

Yeah note10 was legit, I did enjoy it a lot but tbh now that I have a pixel 6a I can be completely honest and take back my criticism of the button placement. Not only is the power button basically at the level of how high up it was on blackberry android phones, but also the mental switch took no time at all. I think I've literally mistook the volume for the bower button one single time in these past few months of owning it

[@brandonminiman]

I'm still trying to figure out why marques was so negative of the performance of the 6a, which I'm typing this comment on. I think he didn't use the phone long enough for his brain to recalibrate to 60hz. Once you do that, performance is great and 90/120 hz fades from your mind as you enjoy the many other merits of this phone.

[@birdwatcher1337]

Let me preface this by saying that I think higher refresh rates are the biggest noticeable change in the tech world in a while. But someone who has never used over 60hz will not notice unless you show them next to each other. Not everyone needs the high refresh rate. I'm a software engineer and I code on a 240hz monitor and my phone is the pixel 6 with 90hz. So if I go to anything less than 90 it feels like a laggy mess. But for the people in this price range that haven't used anything other than 60hz it really doesn't matter.

[@PixelatedH2O]

The lower quality glass compared to others in the price range along with the 12MP camera, 60Hz display, and relatively slow charging feels like it all belongs in a phone closer to $300 to me, rather than $450

Call screening, on hold, key word phrases, live translate, dictation, haptics, fave unblur, real tone, magic eraser, camouflage, portrait light and more.

An a53 will freeze up after taking a few in photos and low light shots are always blurry. Face unblur is clutch. I've had incredible battery life personally 🤷.

Some folks simply can't tell the difference unless you burst their bubble and point it out to them (don't do this, it's a dick move), or they simply don't care. These people a quite happy, and love their devices. Generally speaking, I doubt that Google's target audience for this device is techies that would compare refresh rates between the Galaxy A53 and this phone.

Pricing it at S$749 (USD542) in Singapore just makes the 6a not worth it at all compared to alternatives

[@nikhilpaleti3872]

At 400$ Apple gives a 60Hz 720p LCD and people buy it. It outsells the S22 Ultra, and Pixel 6, and most Android flagships. But yea, sure, a 1080p OLED is the biggest deal breaker. Don't you forget, people. A budget 120Hz is worthless. Most phones in that segment can't even push 90Hz even on home screen to make it feel as smooth. So it is fine to have an insanely smooth 60Hz, because the Tensor is so powerful that it pushes smooth 60 always.

[@redstang70]

I think for an extra $150 or so the pixel 6 is still the better way to go.

[@Samsonfs]

Even better just get a 6 on sale, it was down that low for prime day before the 6a launched

[@nishantsaloki]

Great video Michael

[@adnanahmad2135]

well and all rounded review 👍🏻 Truly

[@FedDonovan]

Michael where is the pixel buds pro..waiting for your and david

[@AmmarVanKorsha]

I like the 6a, but I would prefer spending a bit more for an a73.

[@HAFBeast91]

I had to RMA my Pixel 2 XL 3 times and I have never RMA a phone until this point. After that, I went back to OnePlus for the 7 Pro and loved most of my new device (besides the horrendous customer service.).

[@Sulto_]

OnePlus is better? Im using 7t pro and its shit

[@charlesfuentes481]

Really love this guy's reviews. Thanks for this Michael! I'll get the 7 though. 😅

[@rohitseth818]

I love the brew chronograph 👍

[@coolkenny13]

Been waiting for his review since forever now. He might be the last but is always the best

[@mbiz1072]

Honestly if it wasn't for the no wireless charging I would have bought this thing day one

[@ZawZaw-Pink20]

That Brew chronograph watch ❤️

[@MichaelEBarrerasCruz]

I have an iPhone 12 mini and I’m not sure if I should get myself a 6A or a Zenphone 9

[@killswitchripper8352]

Can't wait for the Fold & Flip 4 impressions... 🔥♥️

[@Roarasaurus-]

For me, the 60hz IS a deal breaker. 120hz is just a completely different experience to me. True, there are so many smart features Google packs into the Pixels that I find myself missing -- often, even. But I just can't trade those things I would wish for often for the high refresh rate screen I wish for always.

[@mhammadalloush5104]

Don't do 120Hz even, just 90Hz. It's becoming common in cheaper phones like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 base and Realme 8i as an example, and it still feels much nicer than a 60Hz display, and the Xiaomi has a nicer AMOLED display than the lcd of the Realme

[@baoquoc3710]

if you just desperate for 120Hz display, I suggest you buy the 13 Pro Max

[@arghadeepsaha8598]

Can we see the Zenfone 9 in this channel?

[@sreeramj5080]

Looking forward to pixel buds pro review

[@trilexi]

Will you review the new ASUS Zenfone 9 ?

[@TheTuareg]

Michael, you're the best reviewer. Your videos are like a short interesting movie. Regards from Russia!

[@YashK_194]

No one's gonna talk about the song playing in the phone at 11:23?

[@BDV000]

Did I miss the part of call quality?

[@GeloMeme]

at 10:08 it accentuated all of your pores, the over sharpening is horrible.

[@SlimTony]

This would've been my upgrade if it weren't for the missing headphone jack. I'm not an audiophile, just someone who expects headphones to last more than 3 years until the batteries are shot

[@elchamber]

It’s on sale, but I would like to know if it’s good in the long run.

[@medad5716]

I have had 1 of my now 2 Pixel 6a's since August. One of the best phones I have used. I owned Samsung from the S7 through a very good A715G. I REALLY like for the form factor, clean software, excellent cameras and performance. No complaints. I picked up my 1st as a new dedicated work line. I liked it so much I traded in my A71 5G for another. All the updates to date have only improved upon my experience. I did initially have some heat issues with 1st device BUT that cleared up within the 1st month and or update. In my opinion it's the best Android experience one can get for the price.

[@keyserxx]

Coming from 3A this is good enough, I've had my 6A a few days now. Sure 90Hz would be nice but I'm in the ecosystem now and enjoy that and the solid camera. Looking forward to the 7A having 90Hz lol well likely to upgrade to that if it does. The Nothing Phone does look nice but I'd need a case and then that lessens the design of it in general. Also its the right size, I just dislike bigger phones.

[@elliekim6666]

My only knock on the 6A is the gorilla glass 3. It's 2022 could of used better glass.

[@jordansherwood7859]

Its plastic

[@prakharkumar6291]

What is the touch sampling rate in Pixel 6A?

[@kempsauce]

Any chance you'll be reviewing the Asus Zenfone 9? :)

[@AkhileshSingh-jt5iw]

Many big youtubers nowdays don't put in much effort while reviewing a phone especially midrange ones, they just probably use it for a day or two and make up their mind looking at the spec sheet, and compare only the specs with alternatives, in this case comparing 6a with a53, nord, poco etc. I bet they haven't even used these alternatives. I saw many famous utubers saying 6a has glass back(it does not) and so it doesn't make sense not to have wireless charging, u can tell how much effort they r putting when they don't even have a clue about the phone.

[@KING_8]

would love to see the galaxy a53 review

[@renyraiche-gregoire4921]

One things nobody talk in review. It's a good phone with a big lack for dual sim phone. If you have a personnal and bussiness lines, go with an other brand, Google didn't have dual ringtone option. For me it's the reason why I will keep Samsung or Xiaomi.

[@clyth41]

This is the best video about this phone I have watched on KZbin, it's honest and correct as well. while everyone else is damming this phone to hell, you are telling the truth of what it is and what you should expect from it... I have this phone and Iove it... Thnaks
