People would appreciate and buy good mid range smartphones if all reviewers would reason like you do. Great job, keep it up bro.
Thank you!
Totally agree.... Too many people who use flagship devices primarily don't put themselves in the shoes of the intended market.
How many buyers of a 6A are really going to be coming from a 1-2+ year old device with a high level processor, 120hz refresh rate, wireless charge, etc, etc?
For most people in this segment, this will be a nice upgrade in performance, experience & security vs whatever device they are coming from.
Reviewers are complaining about the 60Hz refresh because they have been spoiled by 120Hz. The Pixel 6a isn't for them - it's for normal folks wanting a decent device on a budget.
Of course i mean i love 120 and cant go back to 60 but it doesnt bother anyone whos already using a 60 hertz phone
The average one plus device uses at least 90 Hertz but for the price with software updates the 6a isn't bad at all. I'm late to the game 😂
I just purchased the Pixel 6a, you are spot on. I know about refresh rates, but I don't care much about that because I have other important things to care about, like the camera, the flagship processor and Google security and updates. Those things are worth a lot more than the refresh rate. I also appreciate the smaller size, it's what I'm looking for (coming from a larger phone).
While the Pixel 6A is indeed the "budget" version of the Pixel 6...it is also the smaller and lighter (and to me the "right sized") version of the Pixel 6 series. I fully understand what refresh rate is, but I value the size/weight of the Pixel 6A more than 90hz refresh. I'd happily pay $50 more for a Pixel 6A with 90hz refresh if it was available, but since it's not, I'm buying the PIxel 6A because I value the things it brings to the table...and the price is good for what it is.
Exactly this!
Yeah the size and weight to a lesser extent cause I do like my phones to have heft are probably the main reasons I would go with the 6a over the 6. I do like smaller phones and while the 6a is only marginally smaller, every little bit helps to make one-hand use easier.
Just for giggles, I turned off the 120hz on my 13 Pro. I did this when the reviews for the 6A started coming out. I noticed it right away. Then a funny thing happened. Within 2 days, I adjusted to it. I think people like to grouse about nonsense. Now, Apple is pretty well optimized and 60 hz on Apple is very smooth. So 120 is buttery smooth. Still, I haven't missed it. As I've said before, we're spoiled these days. There are a whole lot of good phones out there. 'We' just like to tear stuff down. Pity.
Hi! Have you noticed an improvement in battery life, or that it heats up less, or are these just internet myths?
Thanks
@@MorejaSparda I haven't been paying attention so I can't say. I've never had an issue with the battery though. I would imagine there might be a little improvement but the iPhone doesn't have an always on display which tends to affect the battery life.
@@evacody1249 when i use my phone i see a massive difference between 60 and 120 and even more when i play mobile games
120 and 60Hz side by side, most people can't see the difference. It's all in the head!
Try it! Ask people to tell you which is which. They can't.
Then they start laughing and making excuses. "But this but that.."
@@CaptainSaveHoe oh I can for sure tell between 60 and 120 Hz, you are talking nonsense. I don't mind it being cut from the pixel 6a though, I do think it adds very little. For me the reason I won't buy it is that I feel that they cut too many corners to keep the Tensor on the spec list, and it seems that this is the very thing that was causing so many software issues in the first place. If the software was good it would make a fantastic "beater" phone for work maybe.
It's not a $400.00 phone it's a $500.00 phone w/tax. If Google made the Pixel 6a equal to iPhone SE3 it'd have a glass back and wireless charging.
But the iphone Se also sacrificed in other areas like huge bezels, very outdated design, and yes it has a very powerful chip but theres literally nothing to use the chip for
Thanks! I always appreciate your realistic reviews that take into account the target market for a device, and the real competition for the market.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
A few UA-camrs have been talking about the fingerprint scanner being a security issue for example they only put one fingerprint in but their other thumb works as well and a different UA-camr his friend literally was able to unlock his phone with his thumb
Can you test that or just let me know if you've had those experiences
I have tested it and have not been able to unlock it with other fingers.
Hi @@TechOdyssey, this issue is mostly seen in India. Two Indian reviewers had this issue.
@@TechOdyssey Did you SCAN the other fingers? (When I first got a phone that supported a fingerprint reader (it was a Samsung S7 - which is my current daily driver - the 3a replaced it two years ago, but is my daily driver when said 3a died due to that abuse I mentioned) I set up nine fingers in the scan set - you don't have to rely on one finger - on any phone - I repeated that with the 3a.) Because of that, I never had an issue - as long as I used a finger I had previously scanned. (Not with the Samsunng - not with the Pixel.) You may WANT more - but do you actually NEED more?
Also happened to another UA-camr named Victor Kamanga
@@TechOdyssey I did the same out of the box and had zero success fooling the biometrics.
Hey, shout out to HEB... gotta be from Texas. Watching your video from my pixel 6a and listening through pixel buds-A thanks to preordering along with 300 for my pixel 4a (preorder value). I took the chance after watching your videos! So no system update yet (still April) and my issues so far are...none
In screen fingerprint sensor works great/ battery is giving me plenty left at end of day (on 4g still though) / no wifi or cell radio issues/ build is far superior to prev 4a/ no other finger prints unlock device other it did seem to send my biometric from the 4a and had 3 fingers registered all mine.
Very satisfied with this upgrade to a sad "mid spec" phone as if the tensor chip - 5g - buds - bigger screen - metal frame - and three more OS updates wasn't worth 450 or 150 with trade-in.
Keep up the good work
Yeah. No update for me either. Very strange. August update will roll out tomorrow/today. August 1st. It should be on the same software version as the 6 and Pro then
Excellent review as usual. All tech aspects covered and done WELL. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks a lot
You make a lot of sense I have a iPhone 13 pro and when Google pixel 6 got released I was Really interested in trying it but I didn’t really want to get rid of my iPhone before I tried it now they bought out the 6a now i’m back thinking about it but again I don’t really want to give up my iPhone before I tried it but haven’t got the money to buy a pixel 6a at the moment
Totally agree with everything you just said! Thank you! Watching this video on my new 6a btw...no complaints so far.
Very cool. Glad you're not having any issues. Thanks for watching
I am most concerned about the battery and overheating issues at this point. Also some have reported some connectivity issue? I am due to upgrade to this from 3a but I wanna be confident that it's the best move for me.
Man! THANK YOU! I've been saying this about the 6a myself! It's in line with the pixel 6 series price-wise. If you want the extra features go up a model. Simple! I had an issue once with my 4a5g overheating a year ago, it was on my car holder in the summer, used it for navigation and was video chatting with my wife at the same time. First time I saw that message about heat. Let it cool down for a moment and all was well.
Appreciate this! Was super excited for this phone, I'm really bumming it whilst I wait and now many reviews were making me a bit disheartened. Look forward to some more on battery life, as long as my phone lasts the day I'm good :)
Why buy 6a for £399 when I bought pixel 6 for £449 on sale week ago
@@penguins1984 my old phone died in a pool, went to the store and said I want a small phone... Nothing in the midrange price... I just don't like big phones.
Man, you are the real deal...I subscribed to your channel awhile back because you reviewed some device that I was interested in and I bought it because of you. When you reviewed the 6a, I was super stoked and excited. I didn't even bother to see the other people's reviews because you just "get it". Thanks to you good sir, I went ahead and ordered a 6a Chalk. I have had pixels for a very long time. I had a pixel 2, 4a, and now a pixel 6a. I would have loved to trade in my 4a but I just dropped it in the pool yesterday 🤣. Thank you for your reviews and keep it up man 💯
Can I just say I appreciate your videos... I'm a new sub for you and honestly you make sense. Period. I sport an iPhone se 2022 and now a pixel 6a... Why? I can get the tech I want... And not pay out the wazoo for the latest and greatest with features I won't utilize. So thanks! I love the 6a, and the se 2022. ❤️ Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Great phone selection too, btw! Have a great rest of your weekend!
People still expect all the best features for $400.
Watching this video on my pixel 6a currently. Upgraded from pixel 4a. I love this phone so much! It has everything I need!
Awesome. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Hello Adam,
Loving your reviews and opinion on the 6A. Do you believe it is a great value to pre order th 6A by trading in the 4A 5G (no issues) considering the trade in value is 300$ + free buds?
I am not sure why no reviewer is talking about this trade in value and that perhaps the 6A for $150 is a potential steal?
I have the galaxy A53 as a secondary backup phone and I completely agree with you the 120 HZ refresh rate on the Galaxy A53 it's barely noticeable because of the phones lag and performance
Terrific video!!!!
I agree with other things you said about the processing power and camera etc sure. But as to your question the, Moto g power 2022 has a 90hz refresh rate and I enjoy the higher refresh rate on it. There are also alot of other mid range phones with more than 60hz.
The thing I learned quickly with midrange phones is that I'd always have to pick and choose what features I could or couldn't live without.
So true
I find myself watching your channel all the time...I have the s10E...the phone is very solid...my only complaint is the fingerprint scanner never works for me..and face unlock only works in good light...and it's a little small for me...I like 6.1 inch size..I had an a20s and it was ok for me...but had a bad camera and no NFC and call quality wasn't good. I thought I would get the a 53 but A T&T sent me this s10e for free..
I want a pixle 7 or the pro to be honest...haven't actually held the phone and I'm not sure I like the curved phone...at work I use an S9 and I don't like it...
So..for now...I'm ready for a new phone...will the 6a work...not sure...or should I wait for the pixle 8
Ahhh decisions!!!
Thank you for saying everything I've been thinking watching reviews of this phone. This has been the most down to earth review of the phone I've seen. Great work
Any info on how the reception is ? Does it drop calls or loose service easily or is it solid?
I dont really comment but you made well present arguments that has clear up a lot of noise about whether or not i should get this phone. Thank you Sir
@TechOdyssey - Have you seen the UA-cam videos about being able to unlock with non-registered fingerprints? I've seen three different ones now...I'm certain there is some kind of major software bug allowing this, and I understand the early review phones aren't on what will be production software for retail, but curious if you've been able to replicate this bug.
As always good advice and nice content fair play 👏😎🇮🇪
Thank you for staying thorough and impartial 🙂
Sure thing! I try
I pre-ordered the pixel 6a and I know full well what a refresh rate is. I just don't typically like to buy super expensive phones. Currently they are giving $300 trade in value for my old pixel 3a xl so can't really beat that combined with the buds (which I will just turn around and sell).
INCREDIBLE DEAL
When the P6 dropped to $499, I picked one up on the spur of the moment. My old 3XL has been fine, but we will be moving abroad soon and I wanted a supported phone I can live with on the road for a year. I added Pixel Buds-A for $79. With taxes and everything it came out to a bit over $600. Then I did research on the P6 quality control issues, perceived bugginess, etc. I decided that it was too first gen for me and refunded without even unboxing.
I tried the S21 FE for a while and didn't like it, either, in the same $500 price range.
When I found I could pre-order the 6a and get $100 back for my 3XL (which is what I paid for it 14 months ago) plus the Buds-A for free, effectively it brought my price down to $269 if you value the buds at $79 or $249 if you would spend $99 on the buds, which I found compelling enough to commit.
absolutely agree with your comments on mid range phone. expectations should be tempered.
when i look on googles site it doe's not seem to specify that it includes a free pair of pixel buds. doe's this not apply to australian's or?
I live in Australia so I have access to the Nothing phone. I had the email reminder set ready to go for the 6a, but when I directly compare the 2 with the prices and how I use my phone I would be stupid to by the 6a
I choose the processor and camera on the 6a over the a53, I don't use 120 or 90 hertz on my phones, I set it to 60 hrtz to save battery
Your thought on fingerprint security plzz.....
I COMPLETELY agree with you on everything you said. Very valid points. Wish more people thought this way when it comes to the Pixel phones smh . It's unfortunate.
As an Indian who owns the 4A, the 6A is great value at USD 449 but here in India, Google has completely bungled their strategy. They're charging 44k rupees for the 6A. That's roughly about 100 USD more than it's 449 price tag. It's ridiculous to expect people to pay so much more just for the "experience". It's sad, I was planning to get the 6A.
Only those who have the Axis Flipkart credit card got the phone at basically US price 44,000 - (4000 Axis credit/debit card discount + 750 Axis credit card discount + 2,000 as cashback) = Rs 37,250 or Rs 38,000. Not sure if both the credit card and cashback offers can be combined.
I got it for around 34,800 after using an Axis bank credit card (not the Flipkart one) and exchanging my old Zenfone 3. I was getting Rs 10,750 for my Pixel 3A. But I'll get something like that if I list it later on OLX after copying my data to the new one. Had to get rid of the Zenfone 3.
What hurts is seeing Americans getting 200 USD valuations for their Pixel 3A. To add insult to injury, they're also getting the Pixel buds A for free while I'm getting a generous discount of Rs 500 if I decide to get it.
Gazab nainsaafi hai bhai.
@@joniljoseph2934 IIRC there used to be a scheme for lower than usual (or none, I'm not sure) taxes for imported cars upto a certain number. Every unit sold afterwards would have been taxed as usual.
I guess unless the government implements something like that for phone manufacturers as well, we'll keep getting the same 'Bargain in the US, luxury in India' sort of pricing; at least until the powers that be at the helm of Google are sure that the demand for their phones is enough to warrant local manufacturing. It's a staring contest between the Indian government and Google, and we consumers have to pay the price.
Even when you understand the logic driving the actions of both parties, it's hard to not get a little jealous of the US consumers, at least when it comes to stuff like electronics and automobiles.
Sir Google is not manufacturing in India they import this phone from Vietnam so it cost more
Anything that is imported, India gvmt will take exorbitant tax. So thats hoe that additional $100usd bumped up.
@nachiket .. did ur 4a had overheating issues during summer months qhile using camera outside ? My 4a 5g was terrible. Hope 6a doesn't have that issue
Can you please test the finger print sensor? Lot of reviewers have reported issues with how reliable it is. They reported that it unlocks with unregistered finger prints as well. Is it really true? Big concern.
My pixel 4a contract is up soon but man I'm not sure what to go for next I'm not bothered about phones too much I love stock android and like emailing and taking photos... I might stick with it or go 5a?
People obsess over high refresh rate way too much. I’d much rather have the 6a with a 60 hertz display than the a53 with a 120 hertz display that cannot run it properly and is laggy. I also find it beyond hypocritical all these influencers gave the iPhone SE 2022 as well as the iPhone 13 mini and 13 a pass for the same 60 hertz display.
I can only speak for myself here but I ordered a 6a because it’s a flagship killer in every sense of the word. It has a great display, dual speakers, ip 67 rating, a flagship processor, 5 years of support, great cameras and the latest design. So despite any flaws I don’t see any logical reason for all the hate.
I always say most techies are “spec sheet groupies”; it’s all about having the largest numbers on the back of the packaging under features and having the longest list, those are the phones that people gravitate towards to.
i would buy this right now.but the pixel 7 is 3 months time.i wait what it will bring and then i will decide...my sister is buying it next month thou.cant wait to try this baby..
The best deal is an older flagship that costs around $400. I bought an iPhone 11 Pro Max for $450. Great camera, Face ID, great processor, battery life, etc.
Does the iPhone se 2022 give you better battery life than the stoop 3 and sfold3?
just realized you live in texas when I saw that HEB lemonade XD.
I currently use a Galaxy S22. People gave this phone a LOT of hate for battery and all kinds of software bugs right after it released. Yes, the battery was weak the first couple months after release (I got mine a month after it's official release), however consistent software updates quickly fixed and improved it along with machine learning. This is a BIG thing I think reviewers need to touch on every single time. Machine learning is very common in mainstream and premium devices. iOS has used machine learning in all of the Bionic chipsets. It is what makes those chips so darn efficient. BUT it takes time for the phone to learn your habits and allocate battery resources to where it needs to go. Same with Samsung and same with the Pixel series. "All day battery" isn't just bc the battery is big enough. A LOT of what phones are capable of comes down to the capabilities of the software WITH the chipset. I have read all kinds of articles and watched lots of videos for the 6a. I have one ordered and arriving in two days. I'm not going to lie, I have no doubt it will replace this flagship grade S22. This is the first and only flagship phone I have ever purchased and I only ordered this model bc I got a huge discount by switching to Fi. I thought "wow a flagship phone for only 500 bucks! I pay that much on a mid range phone when I buy a new one. This is a great deal!" Truth is, I don't even use over half of the features they pack into this thing. I QUICKLY found myself missing the clean and uncluttered UI of my Motorolas, of which I have owned many bc I like that brand and have faith in them through practice. I am imagining the 6a will be the same. The display I almost constantly have set to 60 on this phone anyway and the only feature I have found that I like is actually the AOD (I have never had a phone with this feature before, so that may just be subjective anyway). Anyway, I got off on a tangent, but I love technology too especially phones and I love your videos more so than bigger named UA-cam creators bc you actually look at the devices for what they are. Because of this, I find yours to be more realistic and educational. Bottom line though, there is a stigma that these manufacturers spread like a plague that premium flagships are the only way to go and that is simply just not true from my experience. I have always bought mid range phones from brands that I trust and have never been disappointed. If I needed more from my device, sure I'd def go with this S22. Since I don't, it's kind of meh to me in practice anyway.
I'll probably get the 6A to replace my old Nexus 5X, but I'm quite frustrated being stuck with 2015 tech honestly... The Pixel 6 is perfect on paper but too big for me. Plus the price point is just off in Europe, 459€, for 50 extra you have the 6 or the S21 FE, off sales. And finally the battery life don't seems to be better than the 6, so all in all it makes a lot of things to digest.
Any opinion on the finger print scanner? Not the speed or accuracy of it but the fact that a couple of reviewers have released videos that the phone unlocks even with unregistered finger prints. Have you experienced that? Hoping you can address that in a video for us folks who are on the fence with the preorder.
I have not seen the videos but I have heard about it. I have tested it and mine is not unlocking with any other fingers than the registered one.
@@TechOdyssey thanks for your quick response. Here is a link for the video from another reviewer for your reference.
ua-cam.com/video/RqkydbXgbMA/v-deo.html
Can you advise if the Pixel 6A is a worthy upgrade on the 4A 5G esp at 150$. I per say don't need a new 0gone but feeling like 4A 5G won't hold that 390$ trade in value until next year.
Pixel 6a screen protector review / information please. Also screen protector like spigen available in india covers the front camera too.i shall go for it..?
You got a new sub
Welcome!
Pixel 3a was one of the best phones I've used. Been using a Duo and a Flip 3 but seriously considering this.
Definitely go for it if you can afford it! I traded in my Pixel 3a for it and am effectively getting a $450 phone for $50, considering the $300 trade in value of the Pixel 3a and the free $99 Pixel Buds A-Series. The free Pixel Buds deal lasts till July 27th though so you only have 2 days to decide
@@milanthakkar9493 just checked and they don't have Z Flip 3 as an option for trade in! Interesting.
HEB?! Where in South/Central Texas are you? I'm in San Antonio. Another great vid!
P.S. The Google Store has a pretty aggressive swap offer in addition to the Pixel Buds A. I'm getting $80 for a cracked but functional Pixel 3!
There has to be corners cut/trade offs on these types of phone. Shopping in this price range you have to prioritise features you want in a phone as you won't get the full package. I use 60hz currently on my OP Nord even though it supports 90. The difference to me is negligible, so I'd rather the lower rate to extend battery. Have ordered the 6a as it fits with my top priorities in a phone - software, cameras and processor. Sure there are things I'd like such as faster charging and maybe more ram but I know that in this tier of phone you have to pick your poison.
It might be the same lens as Pixel 2-5 but, Sony did improve that lens over the years. I know that because that lens originally would not support 4k 60fps (only 30fps), and it was improved to support 60fps.
I'm thinking of trading on my 4a for the 6a.
I did. Getting it on Thursday. Trade in is too good to pass. Also, u can try it out n return it, all before sending ur 4a in.
That's a nice upgrade.
What about the regular 6?
I, personally, don't think you can go wrong with that upgrade path.
@@whysoserious4464 they’re not offering same trade in value. The $300 n free buds r for 6a only.
I use an s21 and s22(base model) and also have a pixel 3a. It's odd I actually prefer it and their oled screen to samsung. So if the 6a is comparable to the 3a I would probably love it
Spot on video. Especially considering the famous $300 trade in promo for basically all previous pixels. I traded in my mom's Pixel 4A for the 6A and got 300 off, plus an additional 100 off from Verizon (who's version also includes the mm wave 5G antenna) plus a free pair of pixel buds. That's practically free. They're literally paying me to buy this phone 😂. A no brainer.
Valid points. But I think you should also mention in the video that you have an affiliate with Google..
I don't have an affiliate with Google and I said they sent me the phone. What are you talking about?
interpreter mode is available in pixel 6a?
This is getting better and better. Spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Thank you for your reviews.
Do you think the pixel 6a is an upgrade from my galaxy s10 plus?
I wanted a smaller phone with a good camera for Photos and good Battery Life.
Yes. I think so.
is it good idea to shift from iphone 12 to pixel 6A for a change ?
Sadly we have couple of vids online where the 6a is opening with a unregistered fingerprint which is deeply concerning . Just hope these are just few devices with the bug .
I bought the 6a with at&t as a secondary having the 13pm the 6a is actually a good underated phone
I ordered 3 of them trading in pixel 3a,4a, and 4. It's a no brainer with $300 trade in on each of those phones
I agree I agree with you about the iPhone SE 2022. I love the home button and legendary iPhone 4.7 inches. That's I called it iPhone.
Btw have you checked out Chigz Tech Reviews, he did a great comparison on the 6a and the 13 Pro.
I am actually upgrading from a POCO F1 to the Pixel 6a! I like the "flagship killer" format because it provides the best value for money to me, the customer. Very excited to get the phone this Saturday, your videos have been great at providing me a lot of details to inform my decision. I also really appreciated the video that you made on the phone cases. Keep up the good work! :)
Is Pixel the new oneplus.
@@thetechboyorg Nothing is the new oneplus [no pun intended]
@@Makin_Kizel Yeah but Nothing (for now) is not available in the US yet.
Same here, jumping to the 6a from poco f1 mosty because of the cameras. Waiting for saturday🤞.
I'm also watching this on a Poco F1 😆
And I'm considering to buy a P6a or P6
Love your videos, I bought the SE 2022 . Love it but the screen size is getting to me. Will keep for a back up. Google gave me $300 on my 4a and free buds. I couldn’t pass it up. Waiting for my 6a .Never had above 60htz so it’s not gonna bother me. Yes I know the difference . I refuse to pay $1000 for a phone just so it scrolls slightly smoother . Just my 2 cents
Have you dealt with Google trade ins before? I pre-ordered the 6a as well with a trade in estimated for $300. It's in perfect condition but I'm just a bit worried that Google won't honor the estimated price.
Wondering the same thing , they claim $300 based on condition. Mine is mint . If they low ball me . I’ll be making my first UA-cam video blasting them
You didn't talk about the fingerprint reader of #pixel6a which can be unlocked with fingers not registered.
I agree wholeheartedly if I didn't already have the Pixel 6 I would grab a 6A it seems like a great phone...
What about the CPU throttling in Pixel 6a and also Tensor is modified Exynos 2100 how the phone is heating when using mobile data ?
Reviewers complaints about overheating ! What do you think ?
I am not experiencing any throttling or heat issues. The chip is warmer than most the first few days after you start using it. From my experience they go away after the processor settles in and the adaptive battery kicks in. It's not a problem for me so far.
@@TechOdyssey thanks a lot now I can pre-order it.
I wish you would make a video and correct everyone on the tensor is a exynos chip myth.
I'm not sure if I should cancel my preorder of the pixel 6a I'm seeing heat problems, fingerprint problems, and some signal problems... I mean I have to use my phone every day. Hopefully there's an update very very soon.
If you're worried about it, you can always wait for the phone to show up and test it out and see how it is and return it if it presents any problems for you. I am not having these issues.
I was doing a game tournament two weeks ago and yep, within 3 minutes, the screen dimmed on my iPhone 13 pro max.
All things considered, the Pixel 6a is an appealing choice. I have the Pixel 6 Pro 512gb and my son has the Pixel 6 and we both absolutely love them! If we were looking for less expensive options I would definitely pick the 6a. Thank you for the excellent video!
A couple of Indian reviewers showed that the phone unlocks even with unregistered fingerprints.
Do u think this is something that can be fixed by software update or could it be a hardware issue?
That should be an easy software fix
The problem is haters think that every smartphone comes with a BRAIN inside the box! Expectation on specs is higher than what they can afford. Then they cry and complain. Mad at google because it cost more than the Nothing phone 1 . When in camera the Nothing phone 1 doesn't even come close to 6a. GO GET TWO CANS AND A STRING!!!🤔
I pre ordered mine and just waiting for it to come in. I had a pixel 6, currently using a galaxy s20 and I just like phones. I wish more people would just focus on enjoying what is out there rather than trying to bash everything.
You're right the problem is most of the reviewers have forgotten what it's like to be the average consumer.
Maybe because I've never had a higher refresh rate phone, but i just don't care about having it.
I'm on the fence between getting the battery replaced in my 4a or getting a 6a because my slightly over 1 hour battery life is my only complaint with it
I’ve honestly been thinking about downgrading my iPhone 13. I love it but I can get by just fine with something a lot cheaper and if I can come out with a little money in my pocket then why not
Man of the people.
Have a Samsung a33 and recently using pixel6a sage green for a week or so. In short pixel 6a is like dating a supermodel. I probably won't be able to live happily ever after with all the flaws (had to buy them imported and warranty might be an issues since google doesn't sell their stuffs in my country), but boy, in this segments.. she does looks great naked... Without the case 🤣, and subconsciously and effortlessly takes mesmerizing photos after photos.
A nice trade off for people like me who have hard times selling more than usd450, since flagship phone don't necessarily makes significant impact on my income unless I work in the areas where your presentations is the name of the game.
Thanks for this review. I am now puzzled, because I m using the Pixels 3 right now. Is it a good upgrade for me ? I am only interested in the cameras.
Yes. It is a good upgrade
@@TechOdyssey Thanks very much
only those people outrage abt 60hz who is not going to use this phone
just going to waste your time and compare it with cheap chinese phones with 150 w charging, 12 gb + 12 gb extended ram ,4 cameras with those 2-2 mp cameras,rest gimmic things
and ignore quality software and they will make you to purchase a chinese phone
in simple words they going to waste your time put their decision on you like "How can this person buy this phone"
they say "60hz is terrible in 2022" i mean who decide that 60hz is terrible or not
if user is ok with it then leave him with that thing
pixel 6a seems really great package
people need to understand that not everyphone is 100 percent perfect
and only high specs dont make phones best
Sure. By your logic, people would still defending 720p LCD display in 2022
Problem is due to import duty as pixel is not assembled in India , the cost here is almost 550 $ in Indian currency which makes it a difficult choice . I got a imported pixel 6 for almost the same price . So when compared to other phones like the nothing phone 1 it's way too overpriced here .
I didn't know I could trade in my 4a and get credit. Thanks so much!!!!!!
I got 3 Google Pixel 6a with trades of 300 dollars on all phones , with 3 free pixel buds that's 300 dollars worth of pixel buds I'm saving , ITS A KILLER DEAL ❗❗❗❗❗
Fingerprint sensor working for unregistered fingers too
A Poco F3 lover here, still unbeatable in 2022! 350 euros. 120hertz sreen snapdragon 870, 256gb, stereo speakers, long battery life, oke camera setup, feels good in the hand, charger included, 33 watts, what not to like!
My back up phone now. Still love it and keep it on me at all times. Bought it through a US seller since no stores or carriers sell it. No 5G true, but otherwise still works good.
You're always on point !!! So true. I pre ordered last night thru your link actually directly from the Google store just to trade in a 4a I have and to take advantage of the free earbuds. I don't think I'll get anything better for $179. Because that's what it comes out to after the $300 trade in. Awesome deal. 👌
That's a fantastic deal
Killer deal i got 3 pixel 6a and all got reduced deals
I wonder if the Pixel 6a was released along side with the 6 and 6 pro, would the refresh rate issue be an issue? Lol. I'm inclined to say no.
Nope. Not at all
The only thing I have against the pixel 6a is lack of dual SIM support.
Heating issue and now unregistered people are able to unlock this device. See the video made by beebom and geekyrangeet. Very disappointed with this
the intro is just *mwah*
You are spot on! Pixel always gets a bad rap and it's always has to cop more criticism than any other brand. The pixel 6 pro is my first ever pixel and I'm all in on pixel, it's the best phone I've ever had and I've had nearly every phone on a phone addict but there is nothing like a pixel and it's due to the fact that it has machine learning that is unprecedented and it's things that are actually useful in day-to-day living like hold for me like text to talk. These are actual life-changing and life helping features on a phone.
