Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great software and hardware for the price! Google delivers with software and frequent updates.

Crisp screen and light weight. Google continues to make a product I favor with easy to operate systems and reliability.

The phone is exactly as advertised. Easy to use and takes great pictures.

Bought this for my 13 yo daughter who absolutely loves it she has had it about a week and has yet to complain about anything

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

A budget Pixel phone. Good phone for daily use. Will not recommend this for taking photos

My son loves his new phone. He had a LG phone before so not a huge switch. It has been very reliable.

Huge pixel fan. I've had three of them. People sleeping on this. Ditch your over priced Iphone. This does it all.

Low price with good camera and overall performance is really good.

Great phone love the style, and pixels are now one of my favorite phones

Great phone. Does what I need. No problems. Will buy another Pixel in the future.

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.

Google Pixel phones are always just amazing. 6a is a great purchase. No problems so far.

I really enjoy my Google Pixel 6a. I replaced my old S21 with the pixel and the pixel 6a has been working great.

It’s a phone, what can you say. Makes calls and plays music. I just needed a budget phone, and this fits the bill.

I did not buy this device for myself but rather my mother that does not speak english and is not tech savy. However, the low rating is given due to the issues my mother has had to deal with since receiving this device. My only criticism being that is not old people friendly due to either software/hardware bugs.

i like how easy it was to set up my contacts and pictures through google ! no prpblems with the new phone

Great budget phone for the kids. For starters because the camera is a little lacking.

Phone is good for the price. Haven't had issues so far. Got two phones, so this is the second review.

I bought a pixel 6 a for my wife and myself. We've had them for a month and are very satisfied with the phones. They're easy to use, turn on/off and doesn't freeze at all. We get good 5g service with our T mobile provider. We got it a a great price $299 each and received an additional $150 discount when Best But activated tihe phone with T mobile.
