    It was a decent phone. The 7 is better with the wireless charging upgrade. But for the price 6a worth it.

    Excellent terminal, I bought it after selling my pixel 6, and the reality is that if you are thinking of buying the 6, I recommend you buy this 6a, since the difference is not much to spend the $200Additional, but the two devices are excellent and the battery performance is excellent for someone with a normal consumption, it will last all day and maybe half of the other day

    Decent phone, but falls short on performance

    My last Pixel was a Pixel 3. It was a decent phone, but I rarely got to use the camera because it had a known problem with the autofocus. So it was rather disappointing since the Pixel cameras have been quite innovative. After my Pixel 3, I went to a Moto G Power (2021). I enjoyed the long battery life, but after a year, it seemed the camera was a little sluggish. Because it's a budget phone, I also lost wireless charging and NFC. I had no problems with any of this during the pandemic since I was hardly going out anyways. Now that I'm taking vacations again, I want a decent camera on my phone but I don't need all the extra features nor the ~$1000 price tag of a flagship phone but I want NFC back so I can leave my credit cards at home. What's nice about the Google Pixel 6A phone is that it has the Google Tensor chip, so it's got the processing power of the flagship Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. Google designed this chip, and it has been tuned to provide great camera performance. More on this later. It doesn't come with a wall adapter. Just a USB-C to USB-C cable. I'm also slightly disappointed that this Pixel 6A doesn't have wireless charging. My desktop monitor provides up to 65W of power delivery over USB-C. When plugged into my previous phone, it didn’t negotiate the power correctly and just shows 'Charging Slowly'. But with the Pixel 6A, it negotiates it correctly and gives me the 'Charging Rapidly' message. After a few moments, it even calculates the estimated time to charge, which is appreciated. The charging is adaptive too. When charging overnight, it charges steadily to preserve the batter health. It even uses your set alarm to make sure it's completely charged before the alarm rings. Battery life seems very good. It definitely holds more than a day's charge. While going through setup of this Pixel 6A, I connected it to my Moto G Power phone when prompted and it quickly transferred my settings, wallpaper, contacts and the list of my apps. Those apps would get downloaded from the Play Store, but I was surprised that some of the applications didn't need me to fully sign into each app. Some of them retained credentials from one phone to another while others just needed a quick authentication and not the entire application sign-in. The screen is definitely brighter than my Moto G Power. This is especially noticeable when I go outside. While the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have more memory, the 6A is no slouch when it comes to performance. I didn't experience any problems running any of my apps or multiple apps. Speaking of apps, being an unlocked Pixel phone it doesn't include all the bloatware that your carrier or other OEMs may deem to be necessary. Also, it is one of the first in line to get updates to the Android Operating System. The Pixel line has been known for camera performance and the Tensor chip is utilized well here. I was able to take some pictures and using the Magic Eraser feature, I could select objects to delete and the AI would fill in the spots pretty well. The feature seems to work better when the background is very consistent. So things like wood grain is hard for the AI to handle, but it does a decent job and it beats having to lug around a laptop to Photoshop something out just for a quick snap. I was also surprised at how quickly the Tensor chip is able to come back with results. I have noticed that the phone gets quite warm, but I haven't been able to accurately predict when it will get warm, I could be playing a game for 20 minutes and it's just barely warm, but then playing the same game in 5 minutes and it gets very warm. This is the first phone I've had with the fingerprint sensor under the screen. With my previous Pixel 3 it was a circle on the back. On the Moto G Power, it was part of the screen on/off button. I'm disappointed with the sensor overall. It works, eventually. It definitely takes longer to register than my Moto G Power and oftentimes, I'll get it on the third try. This happened consistently for the first two days I was using the phone. Then I installed a tempered glass screen protector. After the screen protector installation, I immediately went into the settings to increase the fingerprint sensor sensitivity as well as retrain the sensor to my fingerprint but it still isn't likely to catch my fingerprint until the 3rd attempt. I'm really hoping that this gets improved with a software update. I know Android 13 is around the corner, and I'm hearing that the security around the fingerprint sensor is improved so I have hope there. In the end, the Pixel 6A is a decent phone, but if Google were able to manage Wireless Charging, better thermal control and reliable fingerprint sensor performance, it would be absolutely worth its price.
