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 was my first time giving Google phones a shot and trying something new, and I've gotta say, I couldn't be happier. Really good price for something with such good camera and picture quality, which is huge for me, and a good amount of storage. I'll say the battery doesn't last as long as my previous Moto phone, but still more than enough to get me through the day, even when I'm playing games or watching shows. Good amount of case options too, because you never know how hard it is to find cases for some of these phones until you buy them. Would definitely recommend this to others.

    I have a pixel 6 and I needed a work phone so I got the pixel 6a and I couldn't set it up. Not even my girlfriend could. It gives you a straight migraine. Everytime you look at the screen it's so bad I returned it the next day and sold my pixel 6. Don't buy unless you want your eyes to hurt and a headache.

    Excellent Android phone. iPhone-like accessibility

    I’ve been an iPhone user for 7 of the past 10 years. I was curious how Android has evolved in the recent years compared to iPhone, and (I hate to say this in front of the tribal fanboys) Android and iOS are closer today than ever in their battle for mobile supremacy. This phone is buttery smooth with an intuitive and simple interface. It’s easy to find apps, easy to integrate into daily life needs, and overall a genuine assistant and not just a quirky piece of tech. Living in a multiracial family, the live translate feature is amazingly helpful tool to follow conversations when your Spanish isn’t up to par with the native speakers. I’ve read angry reviews of the thumb sensor but I’ve never has a misfire. Camera is on par with the iPhone 13 for vividness and clarity. Magic eraser works fairly well for using its algorithms to clean up pictures. It’s not perfect, but for the occasional photobomb it works well. I’ve had it on my T-Mobile plan and it works great. The 5G connection is strong in my area and the phone has no issue connecting. I’ve tethered the phone to my SteamDeck for on the go online gaming, and it performed amicably. No stutter or dropouts. This phone has me seriously enjoying using an Android again, and I’m seriously considering picking up the Pixel Watch when it’s released.

    Coming from a Pixel 4a, I am severely disappointed in this device. If you want a phone that performs worse than a two year old phone in every way that matters, then the Pixel 6a is the phone for you.

    FUN PHONE, GREAT PERFORMANCE

    Another solid phone from Google that doesnt break the bank. The UI is pretty intuitive and the menu systems is simple to navigate. The customization isnt extensive but it is easy to do. The camera does offer a few cool options as far as panorama and the bubble lens. The photo quality is good, not as many shooting modes but it is a good camera nonetheless. The screen is vibrant and the touch screen is receptive. In the world of 6.7 screen sizes, the screen does seem a little on thr small side. I genuinely enjoy the google translate, the google lens...once you get used to using it and pulling it up you will find yourself using frequently. I am looking forward to my next international vacation. The buld quality seems sturdy and even though thr 6aentry level spectrum of the pixel 6 phones, it feels very solidly built. I do feel i have a midto top tier phone in my hands when using the touch screen, camera or navigating the UI. I definitely recommend it for.those that want a solid and fun phone without breaking the bank

    It's a great phone, this is my upgrade from a 2018 Moto G6 so very much needed. The camera takes very nice clear and crisp photos. That was the main driver for my purchase. I'm small so a 6a was the perfect size for me.
