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.

    Google never know how to deal with Android...Rubbish. System is lack of a lot of key functions, I feel regret for not choosing a Samsung. Charging speed is freakin S!L!O!W! Although battery life in daily use is good, when comes to gaming or so battery runs out quickly and phone is extremely hot, stupid Tensor chip. BTW camera is pretty good, Google really squeeze every bit from that IMX363 sensor.

    Good mid range phone. Very good screen and pretty fast. Note that you cannot expand the storage or plug-in headphones.

    Actually an insane quality phone for the price! I personally picked this up through best buy after it was released for 6 months, knowing that google would put this on sale and got this for a price that you cannot beat, $50 dollars cheaper than getting it through google too!

    Mostly works great, nice photos, videos. Had a bug where there was no audio on a few videos until I restarted the device. This happened several times but has not happened for some time. Battery could last longer.

    This phone is not too big, nor bulky or heavy. Works fine for what I want it to do. Plus, it's made by Google which is the owner of the Androde operating system it contains. Thus, you would expect it to run well, which it does.

    Great Phone, If You Disable 5G

    I bought this phone for my daughter. Having owned a Pixel 6, I was well aware of the hardware limitations. This is a surprisingly powerful phone for the price point, especially on sale. It'll run Genshin Impact at 30 fps reliably on Medium settings. The one problem with the entire 6 series though is the 5G modem. It is woefully inefficient. Even idle, it causes the phone to be warm in outdoor environment. It's great that it's there for bad signal areas, but I would not leave it on. That said, if you do disable it, thermals are good and standby time is amazing.

    I bought this for my mother and she likes it a lot. She doesn't use a lot of tech, but she was able to learn how to use the phone pretty quickly. She only uses her phone for the basics, so I'm expecting this phone to last her for some time. It's a good looking phone, too.

    You get flagship level cameras, processor and all the smart fearures no other phone offers outside of a pixel. Being a pixel owner is just easy.. pull your phone out and snap a dslr grade photo in one click. You hear a song playing and wanna download it? Your pixel is already telling you the name and artist on your lock screen and notifications tab. Spam calls? Google assistant handles that by screening the call before it ever bothers you. The fingerprint reader works incredible. Gaming? You got a flagship processor.. this phone should cost more so get it now. Whats missing? Wireless charging and only a 60hz screen. That's it.

    This is the best phone I've had in years with the only thing I could want is a SD slot but Google has been crippling SD for a very long time and the USB C port allows using flash drives.

    I got this phone for my mom and she loved it! It did take some getting use to as she was a long time Iphone user but it wasn't too complicated. The picture quality on the phone are amazing and definitely an upgrade from her old phone.

    I love this phone. It is very similar to the previous pixel phones which I like because it makes getting a new phone so much easier. The transfer from the old phone to this new phone was seamless and quick. The camera is top notch.

    The Pixel 6a is a great phone! I can't imagine needing anything more. It's very responsive, it's easy to view and it has a reasonably small 6.1" screen, which was one of the main selling points for me, as I don't agree with the current trend towards gigantic phones. This phone does everything I need and it does it well, although I must say that I don't use it for gaming or to watch movies. You can pay plenty more if you need a really high-end display for those purposes, but I'm actually quite satisfied with this one. I also like the fact that I was able to upgrade it to Android 13 on the first day.

    It's a good phone and was a bargain at $299. I know everyone loves the camera and camera app in this phone, but I kind of hated it. It seemed as if photos were overprocessed and ended up looking like paintings. I downloaded an alternative app called Open Camera and now the photos look much more natural. Good performance, great battery life, tons of storage. A bit big in size for my tastes, but i got used to it. Definitely a good choice but you may want to try Open Camera as an alterative to the highly processed photos you get from Google.
