Google Pixel 6a review

For the past three years Google has attempted to repackage its flagships phones into A Series phones that capture the Pixel essence at a far more...

Attractive, compact design that looks more expensive than it is.

Isolated instances of a fingerprint security flaw are not acceptable.

It's arguably Google's most competitively positioned smartphone in a good while and one we can wholeheartedly recommend. The obvious asterisk here is that things stand differently in India where consumers have a huge choice in this price segment and...

Google Pixel 6a review: Cheap, small, and packing a big punch

The Google Pixel 6a is here. It has a fresh design, Google's flagship chipset, and still costs just $449. But is it any good?

Compact, lightweight design IP67 water resistance Flagship-grade performance Excellent cameras Clean software Years of guaranteed updates

Display is only 60Hz Tensor chip runs hot Lacking battery life

“While it may not be the knockout value that its predecessors were famous for, the Pixel 6a still delivers a lot of phone for not much money.”

Google Pixel 6A Review: The Best Budget Pixel Yet

The Pixel 6A's solid camera and premium design make it the best Android phone under $500 right now. As long as the Pixel 6 isn't on sale.

Great camera ; Affordable price ; Premium design for a middle-tier phone ; Among the first to get new Android updates

Somewhat dim display ; Not a great value alongside discounted Pixel 6 ; Not as many years of guaranteed Android updates as Samsung ; Video quality isn't as good as still photos

Google Pixel 6a Review

Excellent overall value ; Fantastic battery life ; Vibrant OLED display ; Solid camera

Lacks microSD card slot and 3.5mm headphone jack ; Doesn't support wireless charging ; Weak cellular performance in some areas

The sub-$500 Google Pixel 6a leads the midrange phone pack with solid performance, incredible battery life, and a standout design.

Google Pixel 6a Review: Undeniably Decent

Google's cheapest new smartphone may make some sacrifices to hit its $449 price, but everyday Android fans will find it hard to argue with the Pixel 6a

Affordable price still gets a flagship chipset ; Great camera performance ; Solid battery life

No wireless charging ; 60Hz screen refresh could leave some frustrated

Pixel 6a review: The best Android phone under $500

Who needs to spend money on a flagship in 2022 anyway? Most people don't. Here's why the Pixel 6a is the best Android phone under $500.

Excellent camera for the price ; Beautiful display ; Performance ; Compact size ; Solid battery life

No wireless or (true) fast charging ; 60Hz refresh rate

Although it’s hardly perfect, the Pixel 6a offers a great camera, display, and performance – effectively making it the best mid-range Android phone for under $500.

Google Pixel 6a review: The best phone under $500

There's stepped up competition for the best bargain phone, thanks to the iPhone SE and Galaxy A53. But the Google Pixel 6a tops both, thanks to its great photo features and a new Tensor chipset.

So if you've been waiting for a great camera phone at a great price, there's no need to wait any longer. The Pixel 6a delivers on just about every front.
