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.

    This phone is a awesome upgrade to my google pixel 4a. loved also how easy it was to set up this phone. so far only thing that irked me out of the box was the fact that you held down power button and it activated the google assistant but with a lil work i found where to change the setting and now it feels like my older phone. the search your phone is nice to find things you need quickly. upgraded camera makes taking photos alot more fun with magic eraser. The call wait time feature is nice because it gives you a general idea how long you might be on the phone for. Live translate is fun for when you go on adventures. Safety features help keep you safe and also keep your phone safe as well. Video quality is just awesome making streaming services and youtube vids just awesome to watch. plus you have the ability to customize the phone with pretty awesome wallpapers. Fingerprint reader is easy to set up and gets different angles meaning you can unlock phone in various positions. I will miss having a good old fashioned headphone jack. Phone is overall awesome upgrade and sweet.

    Pixel 6a Feature-Packed Smaller Phone

    |
    Tech Insider Network Member
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Pixel 6a seems almost "minimalist" right in the box--a box barely the size of the phone, with just a USB-C cable, an adapter for USB-C to attach to another phone, a tool to pop out the SIM card tray, and some little manuals. The setup and account transfer routine and instructions all appear on the phone at first boot, and away you go--including connecting with the phone you want to move all the account and data from. Being a Google product the emphasis is on your existing Gmail and Google account but it is actually very easy and helpful. What I found to be odd and a bit crazy is that a brand new phone fresh off the factory line would need a couple hours of updating to be ready to rock. Don't be in a hurry to use it till all that is done.... For someone who has been stuck in the Moto mid-range product line for the last 4 or 5 years, I was a bit surprised by the relatively small size of this phone. And the thickness of it--till I got a case on it, it is rather small, sleek and slippery. But the display is very good, and the small difference in size to 6.1 from my 6.7 Moto didn't seem to matter all that much. Google walked my font and icon size settings along with everything else so I barely noticed the difference. No doubt this phone is fast--I guess the Tensor processor is scoring well in tests. Apps and browser pages open and close pretty quickly. The sound is good, nothing to write home about but fairly clear and balanced. There is no 3.5mm audio jack for phones, you'll have to accept that Bluetooth is here to stay. The Pixel 6a provided a stable USB tethering connection. After a lightning strike took out my DSL line, I used it to provide internet to my wireless router with no problems for 3 days. I had the opportunity to test the 5G signal and download speed with Verizon on the 6a and compared it with my Moto 5G Ace. The Pixel outperformed the Moto with both signal and download speed for reasons unknown to me. While the camera isn't the real high resolution version being offered in the more expensive Pixels or the last-years-model Moto Ace and 5G, the software is a lot of fun. The background blur works flawlessly and turns ordinary shots into really good looking ones, especially portrait shots. The magic eraser mentioned in the advertisements is not impressive at all, sort of an attempt to use a Photoshop-type tool. The eraser leaves odd "artifacts" behind that show evidence the photo was altered. Fun yes, but not something to be used for serious photo editing. I'm not in love with the method of powering down/restarting this phone. Nor am I a fan of the way you make screenies. Requiring extra fingers on multiple buttons makes something that was simple on the Moto phones something awkward requiring extra effort. This phone *does* have far more features than a basic Android phone, including the crash detection function that calls 911 if you are unable to respond like touted in the iPhone commercials. It has a lot of customization ability that Google doesn't offer in the basic Android OS. I suppose I will still recommend the Pixel 6a, just wish they had made a few things a little less inconvenient.

    No Charge within One Week / Poor Customer Service

    After having the Pixel 4a, my partner and I were excited to upgrade to this, but it was a horrible decision. Mine started to not hold a charge and wouldn't even charge all the way over night. It stayed below 30% for days and would die at least 3 times a day as when it as off the charger is would lose a percent of charge every couple minutes. Eventually the same thing started happening to my partners phone and now it is such a hassle trying to get money back/repair. I had to spend two weeks without a phone as they didn't provide a temp phone and the repair shop said they couldn't help me as only headquarters could work on it because the item they needed was in such high demand (probably because they're all breaking) and that it was an issue within the phone that's welded to the board. DO NOT BUY.
