Customer Ratings & Reviews

I came from a Samsung S10 to this Pixel 6a. At first, there were some adjustments to the normal version of Android, but after that it's smooth sailing. For the price, it's very responsive. I've tried various phones recently and have to say, dollar for dollar, I feel this is the best phone in existence (especially for $300). Personally, I don't mind the 60 Hz refresh rate and lack of wireless charging. If you need a higher refresh rate and wireless charging, don't buy this phone. But if you don't, I can't think of a better phone purchase. By the way, if you opt for a 120 Hz refresh rate phone, know that this takes some extra battery power. FYI.

Sorry for the late review but I took this long because I wanted to see how I liked it. I love it and will get a Pixel 7 or 8 in 2 more years after I fully finish using this phone. I love the storage, Google security, pixel features, assessability, and design. I was a Galaxy gal for 4 years prior to taking a chance on the Pixel phones. Smooth transition and same Google based OS and android store features less the price though. I can make videos, use TIKTOK, video call, and take nice quality pictures.

Good enough phone for my daily use. Decent camera and video, decent battery, decent processing power and storage. Nothing to complain about.

This is definitely not a premium device. The screen glass is a couple generations older than my prior phone (2017 Essential PH1), and the screen to body ratio is actually slightly less. After a few months I'm seeing some very small scratches on the display from normal use. Thermal management is not very good - this thing heats up quite noticeably in warm weather. I'd stay away from it if you use your phone a lot outside in hot weather. This lost a star because of a warranty issue. The bottom mic failed. Google did replace the phone - no help from best buy, incidentally - but I had to ship them the original first. I wasted time going to uBreakiFix per Google intstructions. Then wasted more time requesting a replacement prior to returning the original. (Google does apparently do this sometimes with a payment that's refunded after they receive the broken phone - just not in my case.) This meant I had to back up the original with Google and use my old phone for over a week. Signing into the replacement did not go that well and many texts were lost. (The set-up with the original 6a - tethering to my old phone worked really well). On the plus side - Battery life is ok but not great and the camera is good. I also really prefer stock Android vs the skins and bloatware other manufacturers stick you with.

The Pixel 6a is a great little phone. My wife loves it ! Its camera is amazing, it works very fast and it is the perfect size for her smaller hands.

Fast, affordable and packing Google features "out the wazoo" and that's even without saying that the camera is virtually unparalleled.... Yes, it's he same IMX363 sensor from the Pixels 2,3,4 and 5, but Google had had enough time to perfect it and tune it so precisely that this phone constantly tops the "best camera" charts of last year through today. You also can't beat the fact that with Pixel phones, you're the first in line to receive monthly security updates

This mobile phone has genuinely surpassed all of my expectations, especially considering its affordable price point. The camera quality is outstanding, capturing sharp, vibrant images with impressive detail and color accuracy, making it perfect for photography enthusiasts. Additionally, the device handles gaming quite well; the processor ensures smooth gameplay without any noticeable lag or stuttering, providing an enjoyable and seamless experience. Overall, for its cost, this phone offers exceptional value, combining impressive camera capabilities and solid performance, making it a highly worthwhile investment for anyone seeking a reliable and feature-rich smartphone.

There's nothing incredible. There's nothing exciting. It's a pixel phone and works as expected. The biggest cons are that the screen is mediocre at best. Hard to see in direct sunlight. Charging is as slow as a phone from 2019 or prior. Had a few hiccups when the phone said "not enough memory to perform this operation." You really have to try hard to do it, but when I'm browsing chrome, and playing YouTube videos, and then have a bunch of gig delivery apps running, it'll definitely bog down and close apps or give the error message. It's only 6gb ram, so I won't count it against it too much. It does have one the best cameras if you just want a quick auto mode pic. Video is decent, but not great. Battery life is very good, that slow charging though. I'm probably going to use it as a solid backup phone. Reception is GREAT. But as a poweruser, it charges too slow. And the screen is too dim. It does get a bit warm too, but it seems all phones are having that issue nowadays. For 90% of phone users, this is going to be a great phone. Of you feel you're a niche user, or power user, or want a more premium experience, go with something else. Fyi- the 60hz refresh rate is more than good enough. If you disable animations, the phone runs much smoother.

Fantastic phone. Great quality for an affordable price. Love the photos. Easy to use. Fits well in my hand. Great battery life.

This phone is amazing!! Bought this for my girlfriend and I’m glad I did. She absolutely loves it over her previous iPhone and any other one she’s had. A LOT of cool features and the battery life so far has been pretty good. I won’t get into all the specifics because you can read all that above. It looks good and feels great in your hand and has a good display plus has great call quality. This isn’t just a great phone for the price, it’s a great phone period.

Great performance from Tensor chip. Still fantastic camera. Smaller footprint than the Pixel 6 or 6 Pro. Great battery life with at least 6hours screen-on time between charges. Good build quality. Nice screen with good colors, brightness and screen uniformity, even if it's "only" 60hz. By the way, the iPhone is still 60hz and costs way more.

Got it for my dad whose main requirement is few apps and lasting battery. Found this phone to fullfill the need. The screen size and mobile body finish is easy to handle. Has wireless charging and does not have a slot for headphones, only bluetooth headphones is compatible. Camera and display is good and camera provides more options.

So far the pixel 6a is very nice! I must say going from a pixel 3xl to the 6a is a bigger change than I expected but unfortunately it was time to retire my 3xl. I didn't want to spend near as much this time around and so far the only con for me is the issue of not being able to charge the 6a wirelessly. I can deal with that. The camera might be a bit less clear but the options menu makes up for that! So far this has been a very good investment!

I just love this one. Awesome performance. User friendly. Battery life is also good.

This phone works great! Very please with it. A little slimmer than most, easy to use.

Purchased for my Mom because she was in need of a new phone and is not tech savvy. She's only had Android phones and I wanted to keep the transition to a new phone easy for her. She loves it and loves to take pictures with it as it takes great quality photos as the Pixel lineup of phones are well known to do. Pixels are very user friendly and took her no time to understand how to work around the phones format in no time. Great quality at a great price!

I was looking for small size smart phone so that it can fit into my pocket. Pixel 6a was best fit for me. It has pretty good camera quality screen is equally good

Nice phone. I got it to have 2 lines at the same time and it does that very nicely. both lines from different companies in different network types. The phone is fast and has a good camera. Pictures in low light are very nice, better than other phones other than the super high-end ones. and for the price it is fantastic.

3rd Pixel device I buy, I really like the Google Android native experience and the zero bloatware that comes with it. Camera is the second favorite feature for me. Why not 5 stars? Recently, overheating has been a constant issue that Ibdidnt have with Samsung Android devices so hopefully Google gets it back on track soon

Excellent value compared to other phones of the same specs and quality. The A series have always been a favorite of mine, but this one is just amazing. Why pay more for a device when you can get a great screen, camera, and battery all rolled up into Googles super crisp and efficient software? I highly recommend this phone to anyone that doesn't think phones should cost $800+
