I think if if Google decides to keep selling it at a reduced price even after the 7a is out, this phone will become super popular.
@Onorevole Nullazzo doesn't really matter, it works fantastically well in the Pixels. I have an Exynos S22 Ultra and it is choppy and laggy. Software and optimisation is key.
@Onorevole Nullazzo i agree on the part that exynos sucks but honestly after using the 6a I can't say the same about the tensor g1. Updates have fixed almost all the problems and doesn't heatup that much (plays pubg at 60fps) battery also getting better idk how😂. I'd say go for it rather than bragging about the exynos.
@Onorevole Nullazzo Uh, looking at the specs, the Tensor most definitely isn't a rebranded Exynos 990
Just ordered one!
Late but they did exactly that!
For $250-300 is an insane deal, but Pixel 7a at least on paper, it's very promising, but at twice of price. I prefer 6a design anyway.
I already see the price of the 7a dropping a lot so I recon it will come down to what the 6a is pretty soon.
7a is pathetic in terms of battery life and heat development. Two incredible shortcomings that will not make the minor improvements over the 6a worthwhile
@m.t.2491 My battery life is better than my 6a and I don’t have overheating problems. If you’re in warm climates it typically causes both those problems and I’m in a cold country
@@m.t.2491Is it really that bad compared to the 6A? Even if it's set to 60Hz? I'm trying to decide which to pick: 6A, 6, 7A or 7. No matter the phone, I'd use it in 60Hz for the increased battery life.
I just picked it up from Metro PCS. After upgrade applied, it was $224 out the door after taxes and such. A steal!
After Pixel 7a announcement, the price of this is dropped to $349. Some prepaid carriers are offering this at $200 or less for those that switch. Ad of now, Metro by Tmobile is offering this as a "free" device.
Just bought this on sale. I don't need the newest, just the less pricey. Thanks for your great review.
I just but one and so far i like it!
The only two things i don't love about it is that it doesn't have a connection for wired earphones and that they took away the unlimited storage for photos
Very good video! I have a question, do you have any overheating issues with the Pixel 6a? Thanks!
just bought it today. eagerly waiting the item to arrive at my home now
Greetings from Philippines. Thank you for your video, it is very informative! Can you please kindly advise your screen on time and what is the average screen on time of the phone. I am planning to get 1 but I would like to know first the average SOT. Thank you for your reply - cris
Great comparison video.well articulated
I recently bought the pixel 6a
and just after a week of usage I noticed that because of heat or something the glue holding my phone's plastic back to the main body is gone(I think ) and now the back plastic is like squeezy like some cheap phone.
Did this happen with anyone else or is it normal?
I have been using Pixel 6a since October 2022. It's a great deal for the said price tag. Performance, design, battery , overall worth it 😊
Heating issue?
Does it over heat?
@@pandeyvaibhav76 mine does have overheating issues but only for the first few days of using it, and its pretty bad, it overheats by just using RUclips. was about to send it back for replacement but cancelled it last minute. it works like a charm now. no overheating issues at all. Im not sure how but the issue just went away. my guess is google Ai is in the works, it learns and fix by itself..thats my guess
Even my pixel 6a has a lot of issues, sorry 1000 issues... Purchased 10 days back.
1.Uber call not able to disconnect
2.Paytm scaning issues
3.Zoom meeting issues
4.Finger print issues
5.Voice touch lock sound issue
Can't praise more
I will not even recommend this pixel phone to my enemy.
Conditions: If you buy from Flipkart then only customer care will repair your phone or else pay for repairing if buying from Amazon or Offline market.
Conclusion: Worst Phone + Worst Customer Service = GOOGLE PIXEL
How is video quality? I mean that's if you use Google meet?
Straight to the camera thank you!😍
You earned a sub man. Love your aesthetic and unbias towards tech products! Keep up the good work 🤝
YES YOU SHOULD.....I bought Pixel 6a three days ago for my mother and i have used iphones and android alternatively so i don't have a strong fanboy opinion....but god damn it Pixel is one of the best feeling phones i have ever touched...the android on pixel feels like another OS, the camera, the pixel tools, everything is just feeels sooooo goooodd.........i am selling my iphone the moment Pixel 7a comes to stock in india
I’m seeing some comments about problems with the phone heating up when using data? I play Pokémon go a lot so I’m worried this phone may not be suitable? Any opinions?
I just bought a 2nd Pixel 6a. Love this phone, primarily because of it's smaller size. I have no idea why people want to carry around a huge phablet
Yup, that's why I love my 6a- I'm not a fan of big phones. I hope they keep making compact Pixels!
Day in the life please for pixel 6a! Thank you for your videos!
Just got one of these Pixel 6a. Absolutely love it! Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome hope you like it 🔥
I have the pixel 5 now I still think it takes great photos compared to the pixel 7 might upgrade for the 7A see what that offers when it comes out.
but somehow they still haven't provided support for VoNR or Vo5G in pixel 6A. which are not letting us place calls while being on 5G network. and if we switch to 5G only, we cant make or receive calls...
Another great video, it looks amazing. Love that opening shot....
Thank you
The skin on the back looks amazing. Can you please provide the link of the back cover (semi-transparent) that you are using for Pixel 6a.
If I want to buy P6a when its better buy it? Today (before announce) or after 7a will release?
I've upgrade from 6a to 7a.. i love my 7a.. there is improvement for Main Camera. Wider and more Details on Ultrawide lens. The selfie also wider and better quality than 6a
I saw that the image and video stabilization is much steadier on the 6a. Would u still say it's better than the 6a? Considering getting the 7a just for the camera 🫠
Used both phones and i would pick the 6a over the 7a without question, only real flaw over the 7a is the 90hz screen but you get used to it after a week.
I just did a video comparing the cameras and they are very similar honestly
I find the 6a has a brighter, more vibrant display than the 7a. Plus in one review, the reviewer mentioned the 6a appeared to have a similar peak brightness to the pixel 7 ( real use, not on paper )
But, how about the heating issue?
Some saying 6 series are very noticeable in thermal issue.
This is my first pixel I went with the 6a cause u get so much for your buck, great camera excellent screen and the design is cool asf,next time I upgrade I'm getting the pro probably just wait till the 8 is on sale if you're on the fence about getting a pixel trust me their some of the best android phones out.❤❤
I've had it for 2 weeks and my issue is camera. When reviews said it can't do "macro" I didn't think it was this bad. I was trying to take picture after removing tick from my dog to see if I got everything out. It wont focus until I move back far enough that it's worse than seeing with my own eye. I ended up taking the picture with my 6 year old Galaxy S8+. This isn't even "Macro photography" It's "Close up". Pixel 6a can't do "Close up" is more accurate.
Watching this video on my pixel 6a.. loving it
nobody who uses apple complained about the 60Hz screen because they don't get any other options, no competition, from anywhere that releases iOs phones. With android you have so many options with so many different prices that a higher end smartphone from one of the main brands not having it seems strange since there are cheaper options that do have it.
Got mine through google fi for 199. Haven't got it in the mail yet but im excited to use the camera for street photography and capturing my art.
got one very recently for a pretty good price to be my secondary phone and man im just loving it
What launcher are you using?? I miss the way the At A Glance widget used to look before Material You came out, but yours at the 0:17 mark shows the old layout! I also noticed the Google Doodle in the search bar which I thought was a pixel launcher exclusive. Just very curious and hoping I could get some answers lol
I’m using Nova launcher 8
Just bought this phone at Walmart brand new locked to Verizon prepaid for $199 and that's great for something that wasn't on any kind of of carrier bound deal, black Friday sale or rollback. Just VZ prepaid so i took my old sim and put it in myself. A phenomenal phone for 200 bucks.
These are great little phones, I'm watching the prices, but I'll def get some for a few people I know who need a new phone
My complaint about this phone is how the dual sim is kinda wonky, and using mobile data sometimes will make the phone warm for even for the most basic tasks.
of course it is wonky.. the build quality is awful :D ... but the case should help with it
@@mattymurdo4134the build quality is superb
Yes mobile data for gaming heats up pixel 6a unless on wifi it's smooth
Good review! People are definitely sleeping on this device 💯
The main problem on every pixel's which is recording. Camera seems like cannot provide better video resolution compare to iphone or other smartphones. I used pixel, pixel 2xl, 3 and 4xl they are not good at all in recording idont know why maybe this is the biggest issue for pixel. But for taking photo, the picture taken are superb
Hi Matt, Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with pixel phones with the community. I like the added side notes and drone camera shots in your video.
I especially appreciate your thorough, personal review of the Pixel 6a and found it very helpful EXCEPT for the Android14 info. This exception is only due to info I'm finding online about the Android14 update causing serious problems for Pixel 6 models (I recently had my 5a crash after a software update and have been going through all kinds of havoc trying to regain balance in my technology.)
Do you have any updates on your experience running the Android14(beta) on your 6a?
If so, I'd appreciate hearing about it because my 5a is being replaced with a 6a by Google as we speak...
I installed the 14 beta and it caused my fingerprint scanner to stop working and also I had apps freezing a lot. I installed the final version of Android 14 now and there’s been no issues for me
good to know...Thanks for the prompt reply!🙂@@MattRobb
I'm getting one on eBay for around 200 plus delivery and duty fees and it's my first time ordering something off the internet and also the company is a well-known and trusted company
My pixel 6a has continuous call droping issues. Really frustrated.😢
Did pick it up for 251€ in 2024 refurbed -> good as new -> changed new display and changed new battery. So far its great value for money
Pixel 6a chipset compared with which snapdragon?
I have two 6a and my recommendation is only buy this phone if you have zero intention of using the finger print scanner. Other than that it's a great phone.
Hey hi thanks before seeing your video ihad dought to buy now I'm cleared ❤
How's the camera and video quality on this?
Got mine for $45? With activation, tax, and first month plan it was $93 total (prepaid) threw Metro.
Sure, its carrier locked but they automatically unlock all phones 180 days after first activation. Personally waiting to unlock bootload to flash Graphene OS.
nice weather widget, what is the name?
I have the pixel 6a and the 8 pro and the pixel fold but this pixel 6a has a special place in my heart
Great video I use pixel 6pro 😊 but it's to big next time i will buy a smal phone.
Just bought it for £143 in the UK, refurbed Grade A. Delighted with it.
The main reason I'm considering Pixel 6A is that the continuous OS upgrade in custom roms part, so that I can degoogle and keep it for at least 5 years
Keep in mind that the phone has to be unlocked before you flash it. I didn't know that before I started using mine, so it was too late for me to install one.
@@NotGabe001 So your switching to different OS didn't go through ?
@@godwin4152 My phone was locked for the first 60 days I think. I have the ability to unlock it for free now, but I don't think I will because I've already been using it for two months and I don't feel comfortable wiping my storage to put another ROM on it
Absolut crap
Thank you!!!! Nobody said anything about the iphone having a 60hrz screen.
I've mine since late August and I've never had a phone that scratches so easily. It has only been outside the case maybe 10 times putting on or taking off screen protectors and camera lens protectors. It looks like its twice as old as it is. The frame still looks perfect but the back plate and camera bar are all scratched up. Looks good new but ages extremely fast.
That's plastic for you
@@nathansstuff1547 I have the pixel 7 that is made of gorilla glass, it was immediately scratched on the top, above the camera band, only one week after I bought it although I've ALWAYS used it with the case since day one and never without it.🤦
thinking of switching back to android from iphone 12 as i am tired of ios bugs on my phone and just prefer the notification system of android.
Hey how did you change that search bar on a home screen?
It's much useful to unlock the phone fast or pay with Gpay reliable (with just one attempt) against the useless fiture with double tap for flashlight.
Currently using this device I highly recommend the camera is out of this world for an android and it's quick and the battery lasts me usually the whole day.
Problem with Pixel for people from Europe is pricing. In USA 299 dollars(maybe now even less),in Europe around 340 euros....
Hey Matt,
Which launcher, icon pack and google search bar mod are you using?
I also need that
i picked up one yesterday for 350 AUD (226 USD) brand new i was shocked what this thing can do for the price its dirt cheap. for a temp phone :D
I'm getting this phone for around $250 in india, brand new,is it a good deal?
Right now, €349 for 6A until December or while stocks last. And the 7A at €458 for Google's anniversary.
€109 difference. What would you do? Would you pay them to have about 10 more months of support and something else?
better wait for the prices to drop or perhaps even for the 8 series that hopefully resolve current generations' issues. 7a has real bad battery consumption and worse heat development than 6a. 6a is only worth below 250 atm i would say, but then a real good investment.
I think I'd also wait to see what the 7a will offer.
Yes let's wait and see
I bought the Pixel 6a this year and it‘s amazing
Yeah very Amazing
Well what do you think now ? Seems like a waste it's $499 for a bad pixel 7
I just got one of these for free when I switched over to Xfinity to bundle my. My interest and cell. I'll upgrade later though
Nice! Will buy one! 🎉
I just ordered a 6a can't wait get it and one skins u showed in ur video
Is it holding up?
how is it/
Gan u give the link of your cover ?
The main reason i love this phone is because of the call quality
This is the video that I am looking for
Does 6A camera better than S21fe??
Wireless charging it's not important for me. I just bought it today. Thanks for the video.
is battery good for navigation travelling etc? I have the dileema between 6a and iphone 11 (for almost same price)??
Battery is not good.. bad not even decent as I'm using 5g
@@AbhishekKumar-tn1gc has the battery life improved with updates, what's your average screen time? Thanks friend
I am using Pixel 6a and I don't mind the 60Hz display and slow charging etc what others say.
But the one thing that I don't like is the heating issue it has, especially on mobile data and outside. (In India it's hot outside)
See where I live it’s very cold so I’ve never ever even felt the phone hot
@@MattRobb right. The ambient temperature matters. Where I live it's between 30 to 40 degree Celsius. So the phone gets warmer in a few minutes of data usage or camera. Even when using Google maps it's getting hot.
@@Prakash-tkTotally agree with you bro, I too am from India and this is the only issue I face with this device that on Mobile Data it starts getting warm I dunno why it's happening but it needs an update to fix this issue out, else I feel like Google optimised it so well that it feels buttery smooth to me.
Bought the pixel 7a 4 days back, it has the same issue. Pixel's just seem to run hot
Personally if I feel that it heats the device, but in my country the maximum temperature is 30 °, so I do not suffer to a greater extent,Other cell phones heat up even more
You were at Aira Force! That's 30 miles from where I live. 😮
Yeah I live in Ambleside now actually 😄
with upto 2027 supported. hope there will be more optimization especially in gaming
Give some slo-mo's of the drone shots
I just got this one for free , I’m checking if it’s worth it .. or I lost $20 on activation fee
Just bought 6a for 200$. It is almost 2 months in my hands and it worth the money. I have purchase it SH !
Just bought 2 (one for me and one for my son). But as a budget phone buyer, I would not call this a budget phone (well... you need to exclude Apple in any considerations). I have bought 130 USD phones (Android ofc) and been amazed of features, and overall usage... sure there is always a let down of some things (often camera, sometimes display)... but at around 130 USD I would call some of the phones a budget phone (even though there are lot cheaper phones)... at 340 USD (which is about the cost of it here in Sweden) it's at least a lower-mid tier phone. I just bought 2, I'm not expecting super much as it's still "cheapish"... but I really hope this is a Nexus 7 2013 model thingy :-) which was awesome at the time... 220 USD tablet that 10 years later I wished did not get smashed into the ground by accident... I much later bought a tablet with the same dimensions for about 50 USD more with about half the spec and though that was a "steal"...
I have a work Iphone which is about 450 USD and it's no comparison... I just can't stand it... the thing is just headache after headache... but as it's not my personal phone I can just turn it off on my free time...
Anyway! Great review!
Agreed. I don't know why people are calling $500 phones budget phones. They are not lol. Anything over $500 is called a MIDRANGE phone.
wait, no SD card slot?! wtheck..
tensor chips sucks for gaming though. not a high priority for me, but i was still quite surprised and disappointed to experience frequently micro stuttering
for the price point of 6a its decent powerfull BUT as a former pixel 6a user, it sucks because has battery drain and awfull phone signal
How can you add toggle shortcut on lockscreen ???
I bought it and its SUPER good.
Thanks. I just purchased one on Amazon Prime Day. Those who always insist on purchasing the latest and greatest in technology are wasting a lot of money. It's like buying a new car; the minute you drive it off the lot, it's USED.
I got a iphone SE 2020 when it first came out.. I see this one for less then $200 and might reply my iphone with it. Waiting to see black friday
My carrier has the 6a for just $200. At that price, there's just no other option for me. The next best new $200 phone is the Galaxy A53 which, besides the screen, just isn't nearly as good as the Pixel.
Same here. The 7a is double the price and the feature difference is just not worth it. There's no other options that compare to pixel on there either. Hopefully its good!
I want good phone for video recording back camera mostly and I want budget found google pixel for 320ish and other option is iphone 12 what is going to be more long therm better overall? Thanks if enyone response
I had the 12 mini and I have the 6a now. I recommend you go for the iPhone 12. iPhone simply better than most Android for video recording.
@@erikahuxley 6a is good too as of what i found out with my research what about 6 pro or myb 7? I realy love my 3rd party apps so i am not biggest fan going to ios
@@Formastigor The 6a have very bad finger print scanner with screen protector, I had to turn it off and use numbers only. Also the speakers aren't loud enough for me. I recommend waiting for more reviews on the 7a to see if the fingerprint scanner is better. Otherwise overall Pixel are very good phones.
I also had the S21FE which is basically almost as good as S22, but I stop giving my money to Samsung and Apple. My choice is either Pixel or Sony Xperia. Take a look at the Xperia 10 V.
@@erikahuxley thanks ill take a look. As much as i wacthed the 7 are a bit better. For me the 6a unlock is faster then my fingerprint on shity xiaomi. Thanks for recomendations all take a look. Thanks again
isn't Nexus 5 had Qi wireless charging?🤔
I'm interested in that case
Great phone but also makes a fantastic heat gun or hand warmer.
Honest reviewer? Subscibed!
can this run the DJI fly app?
BRO SEND ME THE CASE LINK USED BY GOOGLE PIXEL 6A
What about heating issue😢
I have a 6a and love it.
Please do a day in the life .
Surprised not much has talked about it but Pixel 7A is actually heavy for its price and size at 193g. Meanwhile, 6A has it at 178g which is just right.
The quality out of these vids is crazy
Thank you so much
Just bought the Pixel 8 and i love it, planning to keep it for the next 3 years
I just shared my day in the life with the 8 Pro and it's a great phone I love it. The pixel 8 is actually a way better deal in terms of bang for your buck
Sharing connexion is ridiculous on this phone, wired or unwired it does not work good. I bought it to use 5g on my computer and I am VERY disapointed. Also doesnt work well for calls. I had to do a full reset of the phone for it to work again properly After only 3 Months. Theses are only a few problems over this phone. They invest in gadget stuffs when the basics does not work. It's like building a house backward.
