   Fantastic Value with Impressive Features!
   We got the Google Pixel 6a, and I am thoroughly impressed! As an unlocked smartphone, it offers great flexibility with carriers. The 12-megapixel camera is a standout feature—photos are sharp, vibrant, and the low-light performance is surprisingly good.The battery life is another highlight; we can easily get through a full day of heavy usage without needing to charge. The 24-hour battery claim holds true, and that’s a big win for anyone on the go.The performance is smooth and responsive, thanks to the efficient software. Google’s clean interface makes it easy to navigate, and I love the regular updates that keep my device secure and up to date.The charcoal color looks sleek and modern, adding a touch of elegance. Overall, the Google Pixel 6a is a fantastic value for the price, offering top-notch features that make it an excellent choice for anyone in the market for a new smartphone. Highly recommended!

   It’s got its flaws, but overall a very strong choice
   8/10/2022: So far, I’m still really enjoying my Pixel. A solid 4.5 out of 5.The biggest drawback so far is one I didn’t mention originally: the charging time. It’s not BAD, necessarily, but still slower than my previous 4-year-old phone. It takes about an hour to charge from 0% to 80%. The battery life hasn’t been an issue, at least; I can get through a day on about 60% charge.I’ve gotten used to the fingerprint sensor, though it is still a little finicky.Regarding overheating, I regularly work in 90-110 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours at a time, and I haven’t had any glaring issues. It just gets a little draggy when it’s hot. (And apparently, it won’t let you use the flash when it’s warm.)One great thing I didn’t mention before are the haptics/vibration. I particularly like them in this phone for typing, etc. I can always feel it in my pocket when I’m getting a call, which I can’t say for the last few phones I’ve had before this one.8/1/2022: I’ve had this phone for only a couple of days now, but my first impressions are very positive. My previous phone was the Essential PH-1, which now has a shot battery, and my biggest struggle in finding a replacement for it was finding a device that was the right size. There are plenty of great phones for this price range out there, but almost all of them are all HUGE.Funnily enough, there’s already a great review by another previous Essential PH-1 user, so I’ll probably end up repeating a few of the same points.THE PROS:-The camera experience is MUCH better on the Pixel than with the PH-1. Google phone cameras have never failed me.-The stock-feeling Android experience is great and super snappy on the Pixel, and rather customizable. I love being able to activate dark mode on all of my standard apps. Besides that, it will be receiving updates for 5 more years.-The phone design is sharp and the Sage color is unexpectedly cool. The back feels like glass but is made of plastic, which obviously helps to make the phone feel as lightweight as it does. The buttons are nice and clicky.-I use Straight Talk as my carrier. So far, reception has been great, even compared to the Essential PH-1.-The size is NEARLY 100% PERFECT, but it borders on being just a touch on the tall side. I still like the shape enough that I don’t mind a bit. I have medium-large hands, and I really wanted to stay with a slim device that fits comfortably in one hand and thrives with single-thumb use.-Some are concerned about the phone’s 60 hz refresh rate. I’ve never actually owned a phone with anything higher, so as far as I’m concerned, the display is buttery smooth.THE MEH:-So far, I haven’t experienced any overheating or bugs… with one exception. For whatever reason, my Pixel did not ship with the Magic Eraser tool in the photo editing app.-Battery life isn’t exactly life-changing, but it’ll get you through a full day’s use after an hour’s charge, no problem. Even intensive use doesn’t seem to drain the battery too quickly.-The dual speakers are nice, but I noticed max volume is comparatively sorta quiet.THE CONS:-My only real nitpick with this phone so far is the front/display fingerprint sensor. After owning a device with a rear fingerprint sensor, it feels like a bit of a drawback. The PH-1’s rear sensor provided instant unlock, whereas the Pixel’s front sensor is barely slower AND a little finicky; sometimes, it takes a couple of tries for it to recognize my thumbprint. It works decently enough even with a screen protector, but like any fingerprint sensor, I wouldn’t expect great results if your fingerprint is worn away at all.-It comes with a usb-c to usb-c charging cable, but no charger block. I highly dislike that trend.OVERALL, I am really enjoying the phone and hope it does hold out well for the next 5 years of updates. Even with my small nitpick concerning the fingerprint sensor, I love the camera, the lightweight Android experience, and especially the phone’s size.

   Good phone!!
   It’s all in all a pretty nice phone! Now I’m coming from Google pixel 5 which I won’t sugar coat I absolutely hated! I only had the 5 because I broke my Google pixel 4a which I loved, the 5 was all around a horrible phone, the battery didn’t even last half the day, like I literally always had to be around a charger, the phone felt hollow and cheap, just all around I hated that phone, but I absolutely loved the 4a the picture quality the battery life it was a nice budget phone. So I decided I was over the 5 and wanted to get the next budget phone and went with the sage green Google pixel 6a and I’ve had it now for a couple days and so far Im really enjoying the experience! It’s a nice slick phone looks like it could be an expensive phone, the picture quality I already can tell is awesome, the battery lasts me all day I won’t have to plug it in until I’m going to bed at night and I use it none stop literally the entire day listening to YouTube and podcasts while scrolling through social media, and shopping online. I only experienced the phone getting real hot and over heating the first day I received it, but I was doing a lot of stuff on it along with downloadong system updates and charging it all at the same time, so it did over heat and was moving real slow. I easily was able to fix that by stopping everything I was doing, stopping the downloads and letting the phone rest on charge for awhile and once it charged I started everything back up with it off charge and it was fine. Since then I haven’t had any issues with it getting hot. The finger print reader isn’t the best… That does get a little frustrating but doesn’t change my over all feelings about the phone. Now before I had any Google phones I was a big android fan, I’ve given iphones a shot and just couldn’t get into the limitations of the iPhones, but loved what they offered in picture quality I went to Google pixel because I wanted to try them all, got the pixel budget phone and felt like the picture quality was comparable to iphone while still having the android freedom and the price point was perfect (I break phones far to much to keep spending money on overly expensive phones). After trying the pixel I couldn’t go back. I am now a big Google pixel fan! Are there things Google needs to do better on? Yes of course they definitely need to improve some things but over all for the price , the picture quality (which is a big deal for me, I love taking pictures!) and the over all feel of the phone you really can’t beat it! I would recommend to everyone to give pixels a shot and the 6a is a good phone to try! 🖤

   Muy rápido a pesar de tener solo 6 GB de ram y casi dos años Ene le mercado, buena batería, llego a las 12 de la noche con el 50 % de batería, bonito, y se siente de excelente calidad. El mejor teléfono que he tenido, en cuanto a red es excelente lo único malo es que si no soporta la red 5G de México. Pero las llamadas se escuchan excelentes en el lte y los mensajes siempre llegan.

   El pixel 6a ya que lo tengo en mano después de unos días de uso, es un celular que brilla por su calidad de hechura , tanto en su sistema Android “puro” cómo en su acabado físico. No hay “lags” “bugs” ni trabones. Los “solo” 60 herz de tasa de refresco no se notan (tenía antes un poco X3 pro con 120 herz de refresco y siempre lo andaba desactivando para ahorrar pila). La pila dura si tú gestionas tus “horas-pantalla, si no se siente como un teléfono normal. Aunque si te dura todo el día y parte del otro. La.carga, en especial la adaptativa; la que ayuda a cuidar la batería es muy buena y recomendable. En cuanto a su potencia, creo que por su optimización (del procesador para con el sistema) no extraño nada el snapdragon 860 del poco X3 pro. Creo que es por lo súper optimizado del teléfono.Para cerrar mi comentario creo que los 7,000 pesos (420 dólares aprox) que me costó el celular se me hacen apenas y justos para este celular Nuevo. Funciona con Telcel aunque algunas veces da un bajon de señal. No detecta 5g, puro 4g.

   Great phone at a good price point. The internet is full of rave reviews going into great detail about this phone. I chose it mainly because it has a great camera and it is capable of “Always on”, and it isn’t bloated with preloaded “stuff” like my old Huawei. We live in a “cell phone world” and there are many choices out there and I wanted a phone that I would be happy with for some time to come.Fast camera, quality OLED screen, Gorilla glass, 5G, water resistance rating and a decent livable size. Phones can be huge making it difficult to manage in your day to day. How and where do you put it? This size can be put in your pocket or be worn on the belt.More about the “Always On”. I appreciate the fact that when the phone is beside me, I can glance at it without touching it and it gives me information; Day, Date, Time etc. Not all screens/phones can do this.It has only been a week and I am still getting used to (and surprised by) all the features. I can recommend this phone without hesitation.
