    I preordered. I think the phone will be a success. I've had my Pixel 4a for 2 years so I know what an a-series phone is, an inexpensive phone with the right (for me) corners cut. I also have a professional background in new product development and testing (not phones) and understand that buying this early, there most likely will be a few bugs to quash. I'm excited for my new Pixel!

    I have had mine for just about 2 weeks now, and I could not be happier with the experience. I was also very realistic with my expectations and how this phone would fit my needs. As for the heat issue, just as you said in another video after about a week of use no heat issue anymore. And, the finger print sensor is working much better now than it did out of the box. Plus, I got $300 trade in for my 3a and the free earbuds; this is a no brainer. Overall, a fantastic phone that does it all and does it well.

    I’m excited to get my 6A and earbuds, I tried a 4 that I bought on eBay for under $100 and enjoyed it despite the battery issue making the phone show it’s age. Regardless if they give me $290 or $265, the trade in deal makes it too good to ignore so I went with it. I got the Sage Green buds to match my phone, I’m excited to order my cases and screen saver on Amazon.
    I’m expecting this 6A will last longer with daily use than my 12 mini which currently hasn’t been nearly as good as it was during the first year unfortunately.

    So I have had Pixel phones since the 2XL which had a nice 1440p screen but decided not to spend upwards of $1000 for a replacement when the updates ended. Staying in the Google ecosystem, I had the 4A and then upgraded to the 5A for the 5g my base 4A didn't have. I was waiting on the 6A to get the extra power from the tensor chip since the 5A picture processing was slow for fast action picture taking. Then the 6 Pro was on sale for $699 and has all the features that I was looking for including the speed of the tensor chip, yup bought it...love it. So my 5A was going to be my fishing, boating and hiking phone so as to keep the 6 pro out of harms way. Then I saw you say that Google would give me $300 trade in and a free set of Pixel A buds. So for $50+ I have a 6A on preorder to be my fishing, boating and hiking phone with the tensor chip and no doubt a better experience than my 5A. ;)

    i have pre-ordered pixel 6a in india which i was eagerly waiting to do since its announcement at google I/O, since then i have been watching so many reviewers reviewing commenting about this mobile, mostly everyone is speaking about screen refresh rate, heating issues, and expecting it to be buggy too which worried me a little . ur the only one who spoke practically about it not as reviewer(or tech enthusiast) but you spoke from users perspective which really helps to judge the decision taken. which cleared all my hesitations abt my decision and made me to see wht i was looking for. this mobile might not be the best value for money in india wtr to raw performance and 120 hz refresh rate, but leaving those two aspects this mobile checks all other boxes of flag ship mobile or mobiles in this price range in india and does better than those to thats wht i feel so. one thing one should keep in mind that no mobile is perfect, every mobile needs improvement thats why there is always a newer model that comes a year later haha...... again thankyou for giving a practical view abt the mobile.

I do wish google would have slightly better quality control when releasing new products. With watch n tablet coming, they can really compete with apple ecosystem, if they don’t f up the launch. Competition better for the consumer. I can see crazy trades ins coming for Apple Watch n iPads so google can get u on their products.

    If anyone at Google is reading this, I have a few suggestions.
    I come from Samsung, I'm happy with my Pixel 6 Pro, I want to go further with it, but there are some positive aspects of Samsung that Pixel can adopt.
    1. When you make a call on Samsung, you can hear a sound in the headset when you answer and when you hang up and/or a vibration. I know that on the Pixel you can hear the sound, but it is related to notifications and the ring. 2. Ring and notifications have the same volume, I would prefer them to be separate. 3. On the Samsung, I had a notification in the sms that told me when the message was delivered to the recipient, in which case the phone was closed or had no signal, I knew exactly when he received my message. 4. And the "dual" option was also nice, I could have two Facebook, WhatsApp accounts...
    On the hardware side, some improvements could be made:
    1. Fingerprint sensor.
    2. weak GSM reception,
    3. Bluetooth audio not very good,
    4. Tensor heats up and won't let me film sometimes.
    5. ultrawide sensor wider and with macro.
    What do you think?

    Yes, I didn't know about refresh rate and the other stuff you talked about. I really like it. Came with free ear buds and has a great monthy service price from Google Fi. And you basically get the phone for free and youtube premium and whatever else comes with the pixel plus plan. Dunno really, just really like the monthly bill compared to my iPhone. My personal reason for the switch. ☎

      @o4liberty - Hey can I please ask you about the Pixel 6A? Has it been a good ownership experience? I have a family member who needs an affordable phone, her old LG is on its last leg. None of us in our family care about high end specs, but the phone has to be reliable for pictures, phone calls and texting, but we don't do any games on our phones so that's not a concern. I also have read that the 6A can run hot, and that's the only concern that I have. I am just trying to determine if it's a good phone for my sister. Any feedback you can offer would be very helpful.

    I think Im offended... yes, I'm moving from the 4A to the 6A, but that doesnt mean I don't know about refresh rates & spec's.. I've been following Android Tech for many years and I'm well aware of the Mid Range specs on this phone.. I've just decided that personally I don't need a Flagship phone, nor spend the money on one..Today's Mid Range phones do everything I need at half the price of a Flagship device..
    Here's my comparison... you can be a car enthusiast and be perfectly aware that your $85k Corvette is a "mid range" sports car compared to a Flagship $250k Lamborghini and yet still have a hard time wiping the grin off your face everytime you start it up...

      It’s all in what you need. I had the one plus 7 pro and 9. 90hz was nice but killed my battery so tan the phone at 60 for the most part and really never saw a difference. The 9 on the other hand felt great at 120 and really gave a big upgrade feeling to the device. That being said ALL of my tvs and displays are 60hz and I feel it could be really jarring looking from my phone to my pc monitor. So I’ve decided to just stick with 60 as it’s good enough and saves my battery and performance in the long run. Would 120 or 90 be nice to have as an option? Absolutely but is not a Necessity for me

    When I wanted to buy something I always looked at more reviews than 1 (or from 1 person). It is not a good when someone is defending pixel in this many videos. Google smartphones have been a mess in last years and a lot of people have experienced a lot of hardware issues by every pixel launch. Not every pixel is bad or defect but it is VERY important to mention that so the customer knows what possibly can happen to their pixel. As you mentioned in the US a lot of pixel buyers are casual people that really do not know what they are buying.. but not in Europe. Here pixel is just something for the tech people or geeks.. absolute casual buys samsung or iphone. And those people just want the best things.. of course camera is marvelous but if you can buy 90hz refresh rate screen for 200€ .. then why would you buy pixel 6a .. does not have headphone jack, no 90Hz refresh rate. These things are nothing for a casual buyer but the tech "andy" does the research and makes a conclusion.. Samsung even has a longer support for android updates than GOOGLE pixel and that is a joke. I speak for myself that if I should choose i would pick pixel 6 minumum. Where I live there is no preorder, no bonus, nothing. Pixel is even overpericed. They sell the pixel 6a for 500 $ (495 exactly). and pixel 6 we can buy for 600 $. Noone sane would buy this pixel 6a when we have here a lot of competition form china .. and samsung A53 is 100$ cheaper than pixel 6a. 💀
