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.

    TERRIBLE Fingerprint Sensor

    The under-screen fingerprint reader is atrocious. Google claimed to have fixed it in September last year, but it is not fixed. Avoid this phone.

    Battery bulging after 6 weeks

    I had a Pixel 3a for several years and had no problems it was just getting old and thought it was time for a new phone. I got the Pixel 6A and was very happy for about 6 weeks. I had noticed the battery would get warm or hot with use but no worries. Then the screen started bulging out on one side. I went through the help on my phone felt like I was getting nowhere fast. Then I found a place to take my phone in to an authorized center. They said the battery was bulging and not under warranty. The cost was about half the cost of a new phone. Guess I will buy a different brand and maybe even get Waze to work on it.

    After 3 days no ring tone, don't know if you're being called (2) phone is over heating to the point that is unbelievable (3) not keeping charge have to charge two and three times a day, very disappointing. My pixel 5 fell and face got smashed so l decided to upgrade to 6 but it is nothing compared to the 5 bad error in judgement. I almost lost my flight on Monday cause I didn't see my taxi was calling me 5 times

    This phone has great features, but the phone user interface is more like an iPhone, than an Android. There are no buttons on screen for the app drawer, recent apps, etc. Android standard on screen buttons are circle, triangle, & square; this phone doesn't have that. Also, the home screen doesn't loop, which is annoying. I really wanted to like this phone, as it has some great features, but it's just not for me.

    I researched this phone pretty thoroughly before buying it and the consensus was that it's a great value for the price range. I'm not a gamer and I don't watch a lot of things on my phone, so the screen size is good enough for me. What really sold me was the camera, because I do take a lot of pictures, and everyone seems to agree that the pixel camera is pretty great. I've only been using the phone for a few days, but I like it, and it was pretty easy to get up to speed on how to use it. My husband is thinking of getting one after seeing how nice mine is. I'm happy with my purchase.
