After a month with the 6a and the 6, my employer paying for my choice so cost was irrelevant, I fully expected to keep the 6. I kept the 6a instead. Fewer issues with the 6a, especially after the Android 13 upgrade, I found myself preferring the 6a. Photography and videography are not high on my list of priorities, but both are far better than adequate. The screen refresh made no difference. But the size is perfect... Not too big, not to small... And even in a case, it fits a shirt pocket perfectly with room to spare. The plastic back, albeit looking and feeling like glass for the most part, is less glass to break. I haven't enjoyed an everyday carry phone this much since I retired my iPhone 7 Plus five years ago.
In the US Google is giving $300 for Pixel 4a and older Pixels. So I got the 6a. I tired to see if the deal applied to the Pixel 6 but it did not, I would get $85 for my 4a on trade for a Pixel 6. Plus Pixel A buds are free if you order a 6a. At those prices I'm fine with an "a" phone. Actually I was fine with my 4a for the past 2 years I just got bored and wanted a new phone.
This why I decided to go with the Pixel 6a, I had just got the Pixel 6 for $480 and Pixel Buds A for $79 few days before preorders opened up for the Pixel 6a. I figured $30 difference I'd go with the Pixel 6, but with the free Pixel Buds A promotion and the better trade in value ($78.50 vs $262.50 Pixel 4a); I ended up returning them and preordering the Pixel 6a for a savings $300 over my previous order.
I live in the US and I went to buy the Pixel 6 direct from Google and they only offered me up to an $80 trade-in for my Pixel 4a. I removed the 6 from the cart and chose the 6a instead and they offered up to a $300 trade-in for my 4a and gave me a free pair of the $99 Pixel Buds A-Series. I'll wait and see if they offer such a great trade-in on my soon to arrive 6a when the Pixel 8 comes out next year.
If I was in the market now, I'd get the Pixel 6A, b/c I prefer smaller phones with "solid" performance. I'll keep using my Pixel 5 for at least one more year.
I had the Pixel 6 Pro and loved it but in my personal experience the fingerprint scanner was so bad that it became intolerable so I sold it and went with the 6a. The lack of 120hz means nothing to me and I never use wireless charging anyway so it's a win win. Also something to note is that I have none of the issues with the biometrics on the Pixel 6a that I had on the Pixel 6 Pro. Patiently waiting for the Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel watch! 😁
in Italy the price difference is 120 euros, the 6 is better on all fronts but the 6a costs more than 100 euros less and is smaller, I think it will be my first pixel 😊
I's a £50 difference in the UK. Amazon (and others) now sell the P6 for £449. It would be a silly decision to buy a 6A at £400 unless you really must have a slightly smaller phone.
I bought the Pixel 6 two days ago from Google store for 449 GBP. Brilliant deal which I couldn't give up on. Pixel 6a for 400 GBP didn't make much sense, if any at all
Here in the US, it's $449. BUT you can trade a cracked Pixel 3a for $295 off, AND a free pair of Pixel A buds. I bought a cracked 3a on eBay for $57 and did it 😂So a little over $200 and free buds 😎
I don't want 50 mb camera files, I prefer a smaller size phone, I like the longer update. I will probably wait for the PIxel 7 and do a comparison with it.
The photos produced on my pixel 6 aren't much different compared to those on my old 4a. Plus the file sizes are the same . The pixels are binned producing 12mp images
In the US it's a $300 trade-in value for the 4a on a new 6a, plus they give you a free pair of $99 Pixel Buds A-Series. It was a no-brainer decision for me.
Price is the biggest decider. But they are especially the same price when the 6 is on sale (which is every 2nd week). Especially since the pixel 7 line is just around the corner
Good god, I thought the 6a was huge, but seeing it next to the 6 made me realise just how gigantic the regular 6 model is. These are just small tablets now, not cell phones.
I was convinced to get the Pixel 6a by these reviews...but bizzarely here in Japan the 6 and 6a are both the same price on the used market because "they were released in the same year". So I ended up getting the 6.
actually ... I managed to get the 6a for 325 $ one week ago ..while the 6 is still around 521 $ the cheapest I could find it in my area, I am talking new sealed phones 128GB/6GB(6a)-8GB(6) ram ,like today 25.01.2023...so 196 $ it is a difference for me .
For the little bit extra more money I have to go with the pixel 6. But even for the price of you pre order you get the pixel a buds too for free so there is saving for $100 so then it is worth it for that I say if you are on a buget
Can someone tell me why camera send to be a major focus of new phones it seems to be the biggest selling point for all the new phones how much quality do I need to take photos of my dog
I really do want to get a pixel 6A because I appreciate its smaller screen size but because of the omissions I do not think I will be able to justify trading in my pixel 6 for a pixel 6a.. 😞
Currently I can trade in my old iPhone 8 that’s just collecting dust for $280 credit towards a pixel 6a and a free pair of pixel-a buds. So Out the door I’d be getting a pixel 6a and buds for $208 or so
Because the camera is, for all intents and purposes, identical. Unless you’re blowing up your images to poster size, the extra megapixels on the Wide camera don’t really make a difference, and the other cameras are the same hardware. Most of Google’s camera wizardry is in the software, which is the same on both devices.
It's not just about megapixels. They have different sensors, so the 6 will have a more shallow depth of field, meaning more natural background blur, and the 6 will be better in low light, especially with movement in low light and for low light video. "Low light" means for example taking pictures of kids or pets indoors so they don't come out blurry. Otherwise, both get saved as 12 megapixel files, android there is no difference if you don't want those things.
It's about Time about you did an update as the fingerprint on 6 is fixed. Leaning on getting the pixel 6 as the screen is 90hz and the tensor chip has room to perform.
Are the pixel series really plagued with as many software issues as people say? I have a OnePlus 7 Pro that was screwed over battery-wise via updates. The power of a 6 or 6 Pro would be fine, but after the problems I've had with OnePlus software, I really just want zero fuss. I've never been so tempted to go to apple because of this, but I don't want the walled garden.
I feel ya! I have a OnePlus 8 and the software/camera quality are my main issues. It's like the updates just create new bugs even if they manage to fix the old ones. The update they pushed out around March was the worst and there's some bugs from it that they still haven't fixed. I decided to take the risk and trade it in for the 6a since they're offering me $300 which is more than I can sell my OP 8 for. I had a Pixel 4XL before the OP 8. I had 0 issues with the software and apps were actually optimized for the Pixel so they worked better. The Pixel will be here in about a week or two so I can update you then if you're still interested/curious.
@@willawillow8628 an update would be really cool thanks :) I used to be a OnePlus diehard, but their software has completely turned me off (my partner has a Nord and even that's had issues too). I hope your new phone treats you well!
There are custom ROMs for that. I went back to a OnePlus 6 from a 7 pro, after accidentally dropping it face down on a curb edge and shattering its screen. Updated the 6 to Android 12 with Evolution X ROM. Runs so good now that I have little interest in any other phone options. Only thing that'll make me switch to a new phone is a smaller form factor (like the pixel 6a or Asus Zenfone 9), that can charge at least as quickly as OnePlus warp charge 65+ and also has an unlockable bootloader (ie Pixel, OnePlus, Asus, Motorola phones). This way you can have a superb UI, at least better than what OnePlus was putting out for Android 11 and 12 on their phones, and I'm sure better than most stock OEM UX in general. I've had Google phones in the past and a custom ROM usually fixed most issues when Google's UI was down on the sewer levels
@@StuieHunter I've had the 6a for two days so far and I really like it. I haven't had any app crashes or glitches and the gesture navigation is much smoother and less finicky. I can't even tell the display is 60Hz and photos look really good and are true to color. Apps that use the camera(Snapchat, TikTok) don't look zoomed in like they did on my OP 8. My wifi calling wouldn't work on the OP 8 but it works on the Pixel, but that could just be a carrier/network configuration thing. I did a side-by-side speed comparison by simultaneously opening the same apps on each phone and leaving them running in the background. They were neck and neck until the 16th app made the OnePlus freeze up and be unresponsive for a little bit. The fingerprint reader on the Pixel is a little slower than most others, but I haven't had any issues with it not working. I also haven't had any overheating issues like some people have reported. Battery life has been great so far too. I've been using it pretty heavily just to make sure lol
@@willawillow8628 thank you so much for the long follow up message :) It sounds like you're having a good time with your new phone! One question about fingerprint reader speeds, is it much different to the fingerprint reader on your previous phone?
No 3.5 mm headphone jack? No good :-( . Bluetooth in real life doesn't work well enough. Not having a headphone jack makes this phone unusable for many people. Poor choice on Google's part. I hope they do better for the next one.
I fail to see any significant difference between 5a(waterproofing) 4a5G(free comp unlimited uploads) and 6a(new shell & tensor) I think it shows just how good the older models were. 6a: Same Cameras, Smaller Battery, Smaller screen(not a bad thing), Same Charge Speed, Same Screen res, Similar (possibly worse) Performance, Slower fingerprint scanner. 7a might be the one to get, if there is any change..
I normally use a pixel 4xl day to day but when I do use my pixel 2xl I just keep the animations at (.5) which helps that slower sluggish feel you get going from 90hz to 60hz. Hell I even do (.5) on the animations on my 4xl as well lol. Just makes everything feel so much quicker. Excellent video as usual from you sir.
No motion mode on my 6a, also I can't use the voice to text feature to send messages. I can dictate a message, and does that okay, but when I say send, it just spells out the word send instead of sending the message.
I own a pixel 4a 5g(partially cracked) and a pixel 6 pro. Really cannot understand why the 6a still has a gorilla glass 3 in the display!! Another thing I cannot get is Samsung offers 4 year system updates and 5 for security.pixels, phone for Google only 3 android updates!
In India the price difference is mere 20 Euros however Google hasn't launched the pixel 6 officially here. So we have the imported version without warranty. I want to buy the phone for my wife, my preference is towards Pixel 6 due to more features including better camera and the issues some reviewers have reported on pixel 6a including flawed fingerprint sensor. What do you guys suggest?
Where is the $150 difference? Well for starters, there is no wireless charging on the 6A nor is there a pretty good size screen. Along with a IP67 water resistance. You're basically bump down in numbers here because the camera is still pretty good. 🤷🏿♂️
It's weird because lots of other UA-camrs are saying that the 6a has the worst fingerprint scanner compared to the 6 and 6 Pro. Maybe the updates don't match on all of the Pixel 6a and some have more recent updates with the fingerprint fix and some others have older ones without the fix.
Google please consider some Special Pixel bonuses for STORAGE, e.g. half price Google One storage, or 1-2 yr free 3mo is nothing. We're picking your hardware can't you give us a bonus? I know you don't need to but you'd have one happy clan.
It's useless to buy pixel phones for their software considering nothing phone 1 has both and more flair. It's processor is comparable to 855 not plus and it looks amazing.
@@anticommunist840 nothing does not get pixel exclusive features like now playing , magic eraser, day one updates, quarterly feature drops and pixels longer support. Also don't forget the amazing recorder app and way better cameras. My nothing ear 1 were very buggy and had audio drops every 5 mins. They don't work even after a replacement. So I personally won't recommend "nothing" phone to anyone. I don't think they can give the assurance of 5 years without lag experience which many of my friends have experienced with pixel devices.(They have pixel 2,3 and it still works like a charm) Also pixel 6a has a 4k launch discount and 2k discount if you have Flipkart axis card which you can get if you don't. With that the phone is 37k.
I have the 6 Pro for my work phone...seems only a good series for those who want the open android market, but can't be bothered to actually know how to use it...its a hand holding phone, just like iPhones. But for the minor difference in price, the 6a is trash. Stick with at least the base 6.
I'm only here to read the comments, I don't even want a new phone. My OnePlus 7 Pro is still working like a champ! My favorite phone ever! Also only cost me $450 for the 256gb version.
There's really absolutely no reason to buy 6a when you can buy the so much better flagship quality Pixel 6 for only 50-100 bucks more. Also, Pixels don't age particularly well, It's sad to see Google bottling their a series, which has always been fan favorite.
Don't waste ur money. This phone is barely offering anything significant for the price (and too many compromises at this range). There are much better Android alternatives. Skip.

In fairness to Google the fingerprint sensor on the 6 has improved a great deal.
That is why I wasn't going to get the 6 was because of the sensor, is it better now? I was going to go with the 6a because of that issue.
Lucky you. It's still a problem on mine. Which is why I'm here. A downgrade is looking like a good option.

Where is the $150 difference? Well for starters, there is no wireless charging on the 6A nor is there a pretty good size screen. Along with a IP67 water resistance. You're basically bump down in numbers here because the camera is still pretty good. 🤷🏿♂️

i was going to buy one of these but that bulky lump turned me off
Would definitely go with a pixel 6
6a is too much of a downgrade and with the up coming pixel 7 on the way the 6 would still get a price cut
These reviews aren't talking about battery issues. They have bad hardware, run hot, and degrade battery function pretty fast
Lies
I still got my 6 runs and great for gaming
It's weird because lots of other UA-camrs are saying that the 6a has the worst fingerprint scanner compared to the 6 and 6 Pro.
Maybe the updates don't match on all of the Pixel 6a and some have more recent updates with the fingerprint fix and some others have older ones without the fix.
Action pan not available in pixel 6a 😑
Might be in a pixel drop
Google please consider some Special Pixel bonuses for STORAGE, e.g. half price Google One storage, or 1-2 yr free 3mo is nothing. We're picking your hardware can't you give us a bonus? I know you don't need to but you'd have one happy clan.
6a for the size
Google slipped up here, with the 6A. Sad, sticking to my 4A for now. Let's hope 7A with Tensor is better.
ATM the 6a is cheaper then the 6 on amazon.
If you don't want a Samsung def buy the Pixel 6....why waste money on the 6a?

This phone 📱💕
Pixel 6 is sort of a brick on hand.
The 6a should be $350 or $375 at the most.
It is $150 after trade in on the Google Store right now if you have a Pixel 3 or 3a. And it includes the Pixel Buds A ($99) for free
fake camera shakes are sooo annoying and ridiculous
In India Pixel 6 is for 46k and Pixel 6a for 43k
It's useless to buy pixel phones for their software considering nothing phone 1 has both and more flair. It's processor is comparable to 855 not plus and it looks amazing.
@@anticommunist840 nothing does not get pixel exclusive features like now playing , magic eraser, day one updates, quarterly feature drops and pixels longer support. Also don't forget the amazing recorder app and way better cameras.
My nothing ear 1 were very buggy and had audio drops every 5 mins. They don't work even after a replacement. So I personally won't recommend "nothing" phone to anyone. I don't think they can give the assurance of 5 years without lag experience which many of my friends have experienced with pixel devices.(They have pixel 2,3 and it still works like a charm)
Also pixel 6a has a 4k launch discount and 2k discount if you have Flipkart axis card which you can get if you don't. With that the phone is 37k.
With the release of the Nothing phone (1), it's not looking good for Google's Pixel 6a. 💯😁
With that price not even 90hz ? Its a joke. Massive failure
Google should have put in wireless charging with the savings of not including a charging brick.
I have the 6 Pro for my work phone...seems only a good series for those who want the open android market, but can't be bothered to actually know how to use it...its a hand holding phone, just like iPhones. But for the minor difference in price, the 6a is trash. Stick with at least the base 6.
You are talking to fast.
I want to buy pixel 5. After all of these new phones pixel 5 looks still the best overall.
I know!!! 90 Hz, same camera, wireless charging, and unlimited (compressed) photos in Google photos , and much superior fingerprint sensor
Bingo
I'm only here to read the comments, I don't even want a new phone. My OnePlus 7 Pro is still working like a champ! My favorite phone ever! Also only cost me $450 for the 256gb version.
ok
Worst phone marketing team
There's really absolutely no reason to buy 6a when you can buy the so much better flagship quality Pixel 6 for only 50-100 bucks more. Also, Pixels don't age particularly well, It's sad to see Google bottling their a series, which has always been fan favorite.
I can give you one reason and that's the smaller size of the 6a. Some people prefer smaller phones.
Smaller, lighter, less likely to break, and better haptics and ergonomics and comfort with 1 handed use.
Pay another £50 and get the Pixel 6, the 6A is a joke for the price

Pixel 6 very good. 6a noooooo
Don't waste ur money. This phone is barely offering anything significant for the price (and too many compromises at this range). There are much better Android alternatives.
Skip.
