Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the Pixel 6a 128GB (Unlocked)'s camera quality, battery life, ease of use, and its price point. Many appreciate the phone's size and performance, while some find the lack of wireless charging and the tendency for the device to get warm to be drawbacks. The absence of a headphone jack and the standard refresh rate were also noted as missing features by some users. Overall, positive feedback on core functionalities outweighs concerns about missing features for most customers.

    Bought this when it was on sale around Prime Day for my Dad. My Dad seems to like this phone much better than the Samsung phones he was using before. He hasn't called me with any complaints or requests. The quality of his pictures are much better. Solid phone at a decent price.

    Absolutely love the design choice that google made here. The display could stand some upgrading, but for the price tag it is not unreasonable. Processing power is more than enough for casual use, and storage is satisfactory. Overall an excellent choice if you are looking for high quality in affordability.

    Perfect Budget Phone

    THis is a great phone that does all the flagships can do. I would recommend changing the settings so that you only run 5G and not 5G UC because the phone will start to heat up dramatically. Changing the setting worked great for me. Great battery life and decent camera for a 200$ phone. Definitely worth it.

    Coming from an iphone, I have to say this phone is really nice and pure joy to use and it's only $300. Lost my iphone 14 and had to buy this as an emergency phone but I might just stick with this for a bit! Easy to use. No bloat ware and pretty snappy for a budget phone. Highly recommended!

    This is an awesome budget phone. Google typically knows what they're doing. The phone feels nice quality even though it's not all glass. The camera is amazing. Best I've ever used. Pixel cameras are known to be the best. The battery and performance are on par with a flagship. It's the perfect size.

    A great phone in a small package. The Pixel 6a is a great little phone for the $300 Google has been charging for it. The camera is great, the OS doesn't have any bloatware, and it's a simple phone to learn. If you're looking for a good budget phone that'll get you through the next couple of years this is a great choice.

    The small size of the phone is great. There were some kinks to be worked out in the beginning with updates and the 5g ability, but 4g seems to be just doing fine and not a lot of problems. It has a lot of storage for the price.

    This is my first google phone and I didn't know what to expect. The phone is fast and 5g (which was a huge surprise) and my prepaid account upgraded itself to the 5g on its own. Everything is fantastic and the photos are quite good! I'll still miss my LG Dual Screen but this is definitely a great replacement.

    It always boots up quite effectively, never hangs, good clean pure android interface and google premium apps for free.. what else do you need in a mid rang phone. Turns out, the battery life is amazing and camera is something which puts Iphone to shame in certain conditions.

    Love my Google pixel 6a. It is so much better and faster than my Samsung Galaxy. I was Leary about purchasing the Google, but am so glad I did. It's so easy to use and the camera is wonderful. Definitely recommend this phone. Battery life is great too

    Glad to have the continued screen coloring responding well in super bright light (unlike Pixel 4 or older, or iPhones, where the screen washes out in bright sun). Google is really trying to compete with this device, and other reviews have placed this as better than the 7 series devices, as well as the 5's. I don't like how this device of mine personally would often auto-reboot when coming off airplane mode for a few hours, especially when immediately connecting with my Pixel Buds. Not sure why that started happening and never did with any of my Pixel 4 or 5 models. But...I've grown accustomed to glitches with Google hardware and software over the years. Really like how since Pixel 5, the battery life has been super on these devices even with more than just light use in the day.

    Easy to use and provides high quality connection. Most people need only 128 GB storage. Therefore, you can save up to $200 on this phone by buying the 128 GB version and activate it upon purchase. The $349+tax is the right price for this excellent phone with superior cameras.

    I like this phone a lot, as a backup phone. It's a little small for my daily use. It has good performance, pretty great cameras. It reminds me of the Nexus 5 from the old days. It's a great value at the $300 tier. It works great for me during travel as well, acting as the mobile hotspot.

    An excellent mid-ranger hampered by heating issues

    Pixel 6a is one of the best midrange phone especially for the price after thanksgiving discounts. Needless to say the features it bundles into this little gem. Google's latest processor coupled with stock android and all the great innovations makes this phone easily the best budget phone. Camera is outstanding on this. Battery easily holds for 24 hours. What more, it comes with the perfect screen size, weight and design. The only con i had is the occasional heating issues.

    Does everything well. Camera is exceptional for a phone in this price range. Top end phones may be better but not by much. You could spend twice as much and get a phone that's only marginally better. Great value now that the price dropped.

    This phone has been really great overall! I've had it for about a year and a half now and it's holding up well. This is my first Google phone coming from a formerly loyal Samsung Galaxy fan and there are a few buggy moments, but nothing that breaks the deal, especially at this price point. The fingerprint touch is insanely bright in the dark, but I prefer this over the rear fingerprint reader like in previous models. Picture quality is great too and I used the eSIM feature while traveling abroad and it worked perfectly!

    I was skeptical to purchase a returned item but it was worth it. The phone was brand new looking except for few fingerprints but they wiped off easily. The screen didn't have any scratches or marks and worked perfectly. The phone has exceeded what I expected .
