Google Pixel 6a Review: Not What I Expected!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- The Pixel 6a’s price makes it very very attractive. Google’s literally giving us the exact same flagship chip you’d find in the more expensive Pixel 6 & 6 Pro. But with that lower price, you know there’s going to be compromises. There always is. This is my review of the Google Pixel 6a.

Being waiting for ur review before I buy, when?
Hey @thao you made a video about how you manage to easily use android and iOS together or it was in a segment of a video what was the title of the video😭😭 please I really need it
I was waiting for fold 4 review but couldn't wait so I pre-ordered lol
voting for flip 4 review ! 😉
With a newborn, I'm a little behind but working on getting reviews out asap
Many tech reviewers complained about this phone being 60hz but didn't say anything about the iPhone 14 being 60hz and still having a notch in 2022 which starts at $800 in the us or $1000 in Europe.
So true. It's not even that big of a deal for a phone that is 449 usd (now its available for even less)
This is because these features have become the bare minimum on Android while Apple is known to delay bringing features that seem basic on Android hence little to no fuzz that apple's $1000+ phone doesn't have 60hz screen
Yes but, Iphone 14 has better bat... never mind...
Meanwhile iPhones cost apple 10 dollars to make lmao
What does 60hz mean
My one reason for loving pixel phones are all the subtle details that Google just gets right. The at a glance widget which displays extremely useful info based on my schedule, now playing, real time translation in text apps. Also welcome back Thao! ❤️
Yup, they've really created a unique experience
Don't forget call screening! That call screening comes in handy when those spam calls pop up.
So good to see you back and congrats!!
Thanks a bunch Danny! Glad to be back ☺️
I have to say I like how you keep your comments real, I also like how your examples are real world performances and you do not give benchmarks which the average person could care less about. Keep them 100
I hope more manufacturers start to move away from glass backs.
I know, it insures that you have to use a case unless you are an expert juggler.
Welcome back! I really enjoy your reviews. Thank you so much for not focusing just on the refresh rate. This 6a in my opinion is a lot of phone for $450 or less if you are able to take advantage of Googles trade in deal. Also, the camera is still really quite good.
Do you know if Air Pod Pro's will work on the Pixel 6a as it does on my Flip 3? Thank you advance.
@@greetingsearthlingspluto6666 Yes it will. Bluetooth is standardised so you should encouter no problem with the Pixel 6a.
60Hz is definitely acceptable still. The difference is minimal, most you'd have to show them side by side.
No it is not, you're tripping if you don't clearly see the difference between 120Hz and 60Hz 🤷🏽♂
I wouldn’t say it’s a minimal difference. It’s absolutely noticeable, and difficult to go back to 60hz, once you experience 90 and 120 refresh rates. If one has never experienced it, then it’s all good. 60 been around for a long time, so one is not missing anything they never had.
@@flaviomulatojerkin 😆🎯
@@flaviomulatojerkin Between 60 and 120? Yes, there's a noticeable difference. But between 60 and 90 (like the flagship version that this phone is the cheaper one of)? Not so much.
@@flaviomulatojerkin in a $450 phone i really don't think it matters. I have a 13 Pro with 120hz and a 144hz monitor i use for my PC but high refresh rate isn't a deal breaker. My M1 MacBook Air is still at 60HZ but still feels fluid.
It's nice to see phones at the price that are pretty decent. Not everyone can or want to spend 1000$+ on a high end model. I find that in Canada the offerings in the mid tier category is somewhat limited. Most carrier will offer a plethora of high end devices, a few low budget phones but no much in between. Phones like this one or the A-53 are needed more than ever.
Excellent honest review, it is great seeing your reviews and opinions. Congratulations on your new baby.
Just brought this is a black Friday deal at £299 unbelievable value at that price!
Thank you for all the tips and tricks - I wasn’t aware of most of them. I grabbed one for £280 as a back up to my 14 pro max and guess what, I’m selling the pro max! When you compare a mid range budget to a high end flagship, you realise you’ve been foolish and just a flexer. Gorgeous baby and glad you’ve found the time to put this review together.
❤
60hz not acceptable in 2022? Clearly a first world problem.
I turn of high refresh on my phone as I can't see any difference. I find it ridiculous every youtubr channel has been obsessing about this for many years now.
i turn it off on every phone too
My $200 2022 galaxy f23 phone has 120hz
So 60hz is jot acceptable for a lite flagship phone
it's not. 120 should be the standard on every display rn and companies launching these products are just delaying the progress of technology
Then what about iPhone ?
Thao ❤️
Thao, congratulations to you and your hubby on the birth of your child; a beautiful, healthy looking baby. The miracle gift of a child is a wondrous, constantly unfolding adventure. All the best to you and your family as you experience your bundle of joy.
Thank you! I appreciate it ❤
@@thao my pleasure.
@@thao congratulations thao 🥰💗 I'm literally dying waiting for your videos 😅
We were waiting for your reviews for a long time. Feel good when you are back 👍
Is it your new born baby 😍😍😍
So cute♥️♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘
Does Google replace Pixel batteries?
Congrats on the baby and I enjoyed the review! I have the regular Pixel 6 and still watch Pixel reviews to interact with the community. This phone is definitely a keeper and I'm lucky to never have had problems on my 6 like others. I just upgraded to Android 13 and getting less than stellar battery life but it needs to adapt to my usage again. That'll take what? A week or two? Again, great video!
Great Review. You didn't review it based on flagship phones. You understood the audience for this sort of phone and reviewed it accordingly. I can afford flag ship prices but I don't want to spend all that. I love this phone It's not perfect but I find even the more expensive phones aren't perfect either. Well done!
Indeed, there's no point in comparing mid-range with flagship. Same for me, but I prefer buying old flagships than recent mid-range, I don't mind using used phones and feel that the price-ratio is better.
No lie, your review got me wanting to pic up a google phone just to explore the features and the camera. Always making great content Thao Thank you 🙏🏾
With that heating problem, I don't think I can recommend the phone here in AZ. Seems like a great purchase oherwise.
Google is learning from the previous releases, looking forward for 7 series ♥
buyed mines yesterday ♡ from Walmart its in black ♡ I agree thing you said on this video
A great and well articulated review. I am looking to upgrade from my Huawei P30 Pro which btw has been a fantastic phone especially for photography but alas it is running its course. I like the 6a in particular over the Pixel 6s but waiting to see what the Pixel will offer. Hard to decide betwern the 6a, the eventual 7 and the Samsung S21 FE. Love your presentations 👍
Be careful with chargers for this phone.... The one I used from my previous phone made the phone get extremely hot.
So I had to swap back to a 5w charger to keep it cool, then I got the Google charger few days ago and it's working great!
That's good to know!
Thanks for the tip.
à quel point vous êtes heureux avec la batterie est un désastre vivant pour moi
?? j'ai acheter il y a 5 journée
Might as well be proprietary charging like OP does with SuperVooc what use to be Warp.
I the same
Hi Thao, how are you? I have been using the Pixel A for a few days, and I must say, it is a fantastic phone. For my usage and budget, it was the perfect choice for me. I even bought the Pixel A for my parents; they love it.
I saw how you can can select and
copy RUclips comments. I have the 6a on latest android update. Anybody else have this problem?
Never mind. All you have to swipe up from the bottom to get to the app switcher. But before you do this,make sure your screen displays every word/character that you're wanting to copy. So get what you want on screen, swipe up from the bottom to get to the app switcher, on the bottom left it will give the option to execute the screenshot function. Instead, press select on the bottom right, proceed to copy and paste exactly how you normally do. This might be a noob tip, but give me a little credit since I've only had it for almost a week . It's not entirely intuitive, but once you start doing it will feel very natural.
I’m going to replace my IPhone with this in next month. Bye bye i6s!
Congratulations, baby is finally here! It would feel weird asking, thanks for announcing.....prior to getting a used note 20ultra 5g, I was shopping the big makers. Apple, Samsung, Oneplus, Pixel, Motorola. As for the most useful, creative, interesting features PIXEL 6 pro , had some " picture edit- erase" feature. Plus other advantages. But their " big brother watching" just seemed , at face value " creepy " and potentially invasive excessively. " Bang for buck" and getting the last NOTE won . Treat MOM right she's the best babysitter !
Love your videos Thao, currently looking for a new phone always had samsung but i want something different now but google still doesnt really amaze me... id like an iphone but not as long they come with lightning gladly the EU forces apple to change that in the future yaaay :) the xiaomi 12s ultra would have been awesome but its china only.....maybe i go back to landline idk... xD
Congratulations on becoming a mom. I think the price is one of the best things you get with the phone. It's a lot more affordable to replace this phone over a $2000 phone. Also less need to pay for a warranty. I put cases on all of my phones.
*This was an excellent review to tell people just save an extra £150 and get the Pixel 7 upon release lol*
Congratulations to the beautiful baby!
Thanks Thao for the review. This looks like a nice secondary phone to have.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY 💝 … also one of the best reviews on the Pixel 6a!
Thanks a ton!
@Thao, you are one very underrated RUclips Tech Reviewers.
I love your videos, your reviews are always based on normal consumer not nitpicking enthusias.
Thanks a lot, dear Thao for the informative video about Google Pixel 6a. I bought this phone last week and I am very satisfied with its speed and battery length. I have tested two times and the battery stays from 2 to 3 days. 🌸🌺🌸🌿
Congrats on your newborn Thao!!! Such a blessing!!!
Fingerprint reader sucks.
Yes it does
my problem with this phone is you can get the standard model Pixel 6 with zero of the compromises of this phone for $50 more right now from Target, Google, Best Buy, etc. Like the 6a seems alright but realistically it needs to be cheaper, otherwise what's the point?
Except with the excellent trade in deal google has going on this was a no brainer! I got $300 back for my 4a and free Google Bud's, my wife actually got more than promised. $365 for her 3a plus the Google Bud's. They were practically forcing us to take them. 😂
best 6a review. you're the first reviewer I've seen mention the fingerprint & ui haptics. thank you :)
THANK YOU so much for talking about the haptics. Many creators don't talk about them. Much appreciated
Great review! Congratulations 🎊 👏🏿 💐
The fingerprint reader is mostly fixed in the latest beta
Nice to know !
Got it this week and I am blown away by it, coming from a Huawei P10 Plus from 2017. Thanks for the tips with the app switcher and double tap on the back.
Thao, congratulations on your new baby! Blessings!! Just so you know, I'm a voracious RUclips consumer and I ALWAYS look forward to your reviews. I appreciate the quality content you produce!
Welcome back Thao 😘♥️🤗and congrats 🤗😘on your bundle of joy ♥️❤️😘🤗
looking to upgrade from the pixel 3 soon so debating between 6a and the pixel 5. i like smaller phones. I thought about the regular 6 but it looks soo big and heavy and i don't really care about 90 htz refresh and wirelesss charging, theyre just extra icing on the cake for me. nice review, congrats being a mom
Great honest review 👍🏾
I am trading in a Pixel 4a for a $300 credit towards the 6a. Goggle wants to move phones. You should compare the 6a with Galaxy A53 5G not to top line phones. It wins some and loses some. Haptic who cares. The 6a is for my granddaughter. I have an A52 5g.
The Pixel 6a arrived in 3 days. Google is really moving phones.
I don't have a Google Pixel, but I have on Xiaomi custom pixel rom with modified gcam and looks very similar
I like the simplicity and speed of the system :=)
Phone aside, congratulations with the baby 💕🎉
Phone review 5 stars 🌟 as usual. More excited about the pictures of the baby 👶 😍 though. Sooooo cute and those pictures look amazing . Congratulations 👏 👏 to you and hubby.
Comgrats on your baby Daughter!!!!
Hey Thao . I m from India and I love ur videos . I am a teacher and to prepare notes which tab should I go for samsung tab s7 plus or tab s8 ultra .
Very good review..You covered almost all aspects of the phone. Also,Congratulations on your motherhood. 👨👩👦
is it good idea to shift from iphone 12 to pixel 6A for a change ?
I recommend getting the 6 for 499 before google discontinues it
This video from 2 years ago but i got mine last year
a series on pixel is just like iPhone SE. It's budget phone
Great review, thank you! I am a week into my Pixel 6a and am very happy with it. I picked it up for $299 right after the Pixel 7 launch and for that price...I am ecstatic about this phone, what a value. Your baby is beautiful by the way, what a cutie.
I got my 6a a few days ago and so far I love it!
Blessings to you and your new family. Also, good video 🙏🏾
im new fan of you I'm subscribed I have the OnePlus n30 it's pretty good but I want better camera I love taking pictures will the pixel 6a take better pictures I'm going buy it thanks🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳🤳
I'm on 60 now...never used 90 or 120...and I was upset about 60...I was completely tripping...
Thanks for a well rounded review Thao! I have a Pixel 4a right now that I've been using for almost two years right now and I'm considering taking advantage of the trade in offer right now but I've been a little unsure. I'm thinking about picking it up!
Don't waste any more time and get the 6A before that deal goes away. Personally I came from the 4A and I got the 6. After all the updates, these phones are amazing!
@@TaureanSmoke agreed. The $300 tradein is too sweet to pass up. $150 for a new excellent phone is great deal
I had a 4a and it was my favorite phone ever. I jumped on the trade in deal. $300 for the 4a and a pair of $99 ear buds thrown in was too good to pass up. The 6a was basically $50.
This is a great phone for older people or younger kids. I have it for my mom and dad (70's) and easy for them to use. And then I have it for my special needs child and it works for him
Which colour will be more attractive and classy white or black for 6a ??
Your videos are always amazing. Keep up!
I miss the headphone jack :(
I just got a Google pixel 6a and so far I am pretty impressed by it , I've always had larger phones and this phone fits so much better in my hands and I love the light weight it has as well, super cool little phone , you taught me some features I didn't even know it had yet 😂
WHAT ABOUT the fact that the fingerprint sensor still didnt work in 2023 it's not since android 13, it hasn't been working since I've bought the phone. I've changed my prints many times. I've put the always on display option on, they tell you to do the "increase touch sensitivity" .... what a joke. It literally does NOTHING. I tried ten times with and ten times without, it literally changes nothing. I took off my screen protector that I payed 25E and it still doesnt work but now I have no protection on my screen and just threw 25E out. For a 450e phone or even now 350 it still does not have a fingerprint sensor that works... beside of that the screen does freeze so sometimes even if you don't have the sensor on and you want to open your phone with code you have to press the button on the right of the phone to then press the finger print to then press the code to then press enter the code. WHICH IS PRETTY SIMPLE AND HANDY RIGHT ? with all the gadget that you use once and never again the 450 phone is not even able to open itself in a simple maner... What kind of experience it is when you struggle everytime you try to open your phone. this device is a joke and they know it. give me back my money
If your coming from a 3-4 year old phone and not used to 90hz or more??? That's not a good excuse period. This is Google, not Apple. For $300+ you can get paints from Samsung or Xiaomi that have 120hz screen. That's a damn shame in 2022, heck give me s slower chipset and I'll gladly take a better screen for that price. Battery and camera are crucial Google.
It's the same chip but other features are missing. That's why it's cheaper. I don't know who wants a glass back, what for? Most people put a cover on so you can't see the back then. It just makes it heavier and smudges. So, having a fake version of something a lot of people don't want isn't a bonus. The phone's battery is terrible and charging is only at 18W. There's no expandable storage and it only comes with 128GB. It has long updates but the battery will be no good after a few years. You'll get a trade-in for a new Google though. That's the trap you see, you're being pulled into a trade-in setup. Some features are nice but not with these hardware concerns.
Just picked up a pixel 6a for next to nothing on a carrier deal and couldn't be happier.
Haven't run into any issues as of yet, Fantastic camera quality......
I've already ordered the Fold 4 but would really like to see a review from you, many thanks!
Yow watching this vid on my pixel 6a and I must say I approve this message 💯💯💯💯
🎉🎉🎉👩🍼 Congrats!!! Watching from my Chalk Pixel 6a! Getting this phone for $150 with a free set of Pixel Buds A with the $300 trade-in was a steal of a deal. Great phone and FP reader and the heat are better on A13.
$300 off? Which phone did you trade-in with? That's a really good steal deal!
It's a better chipset. Second generation. Plastic phones are way more durable than glass. What moron thought a glass phone was a good idea?! The camera results are better than the S21Ultra results.
I love that you spoke about the haptics. I love that subtle detail - which I miss on other phones. Facts, some people could probably care less but it really is a nice touch and satisfying
First after decades 🤩
Google pixel is having heating problem. Service center no is not working. Service is very bad
I hated the pixel 6a but I also hated the 6 pro. Pixel is a huge miss. Battery Life and Screen Brightness seem to be something Google is ignoring. And for that reason, I'm out.
Seriously, I can never tell 60Hz or 120Hz. 😂😂😂
Pixel is pure Android!! That 4 years of Samsung is there crap skinned version.
A phone for 450 bucks and a screen from 10 years ago not exactly a good deal. No matter what you do on the phone you use the screen. There are plenty phones sub 400 dollars with a better screen.
Can't wait for your Samsung z fold 4 and flip 4 vid
Hello Thao, how are WE🤱👶 doing. Great video as always
We're both doing amazing! 😄
i always love watching your videos
Is 128gb on Google Pixel 6a comfortable to use? Is it easy to run out of memory?
Next stop, Galaxy Watch Active 5 and Galaxy Buds 2 pro
U must be the only one that its not satisfied with 6A....All of us are more than what we expected....
Samsung is better!!!!
This phone has been amazing, had it for a couple years now
Congratulations!! Great video!
Props to you for using Poweramp!!
Thank you Thao for a great review and welcome back
I think price of pixel 6 is not that far off.
i caught the Easter egg. Congratulations on your newborn!
hi! are you married? haha ok joking Q) very nice video ;)
