so hows the heating issue on this phone after using camera for a while ? lot of youtube video seen and all of them saying there's heating issue but i couldn't convinced until i ask actual user of the phone (i am being thinking buying pixel 6a. ) should i buy this now or wait for pixel 7a? launch is about in 10 days or so please reply !!!!
Honestly, my favorite thing about the 6a is not the battery life, sound quality, or camera (although it is super impressive), but rather the amount of QoL features it has compared to other android phones. Things like call screening, live captioning, magic eraser, and live transcripting in the recorder app are super minor yet super useful when you do need them. It's really cool
I've had my 6a for three months now. It has been pretty solid for me. My only complaint has been the battery life; but I will keep it on battery saver mode once in a while and that helps. For $299 I can't really expect much more. Really solid camera, nice Google features. Thumbs up 👍
What do you do on your phone? You should know that this phone is centered around camera and not gaming performance. So if you play games a lot(idc if you play light or heavy games just tell me how much you play games on it) it obviously will lose battery fast.

I love my 6a it's my 4th pixel phone. I switched from iphone to the pixel phone's. It was hard at first, now I can't imagine using anything else. Google does drive me crazy sometimes though. I waited a little while I'm case they made 2 phones and canceled them. They have a bad habit of dropping projects and in general doing things that don't make sense. Well, to me and allot of Google costumers.
*Since when did wireless charging become a thing for around 300$?* Also, the display goes up to 1100nits and has great colours. The performance, cameras & UI are top notch too.
Wireless charging is just a battery killer either way, if you're planning on using your phone for a while wireless charging will make you have to get a battery swap
I just purchased 2x , one for the wife and the other for myself. the phone is excellent for $300 bucks. Even beter when you can trade-in to 7a when the time comes.
Got my 6a with a trade in on an old samsung & black friday deal for £61.00 . Loving my pixel 6a , added a pair of pixel buds pro & could not be happier . I have had no issues with the fingerprint sensor & no glitches , battery is fine for my usage , 60hrz is more than adequate . Phones are tools not life support machines . I will keep the phone until the end of its life . Brilliant phone & just the right size & does everything i need for a great price . I love it when my friends with their £1000 phones from you know who ask to have a look at my 6a & watch their reaction 🤣
Using it for past two months. No heating issues found, amazing battery life, fast UI, great software experience. No need to talk about camera. 60hz doesn’t bother me as my previous phone was also 60hz. So glad that i bought this phone.
I own it and agree with everything. Pleasant to hold, beautiful and well built. The screen is normal, colors are good and the animations smooth. Good audio, even with headphones, and no croaks. Charging is very slow, but the autonomy is good and pretty well managed. The camera is good, expecially in videos, although the photography is ALL computational given the older sensor. It's not a very powerful phone, and some bugs can happen, but overall it's clean and reliable. If it heats up, it's rare and little. The fingerprint sensor is the worst I've ever tried. Anyway, for 300 dollars it's very good: anyone who buys a pixel knows why they do it.
If the 6a's fingerprint it's the worst you ever tried, give a shot to the xiaomi mi9t . Then the pixel one's will be the best you ever tried. My experience 😂.
@@XxTheJackass58xX My previous phone was a mi9se, and the fingerprint sensor was bad... really bad... but not even close to the 6a! I have to try eight time at least. Maybe mine is something like... broken.
I'm currently using a pixel 5a 5g and it's great, especially in battery life and camera performance. I thought about upgrading to the pixel 6a but I guess it's not that much of an upgrade; same camera hardware, similar display, faster but less effecient chipset and the pixel 5a is still promised to get software updates for more than a year. I guess i might updrage to the 7a when it drops to similar prices to the 6a.
Why 90% of this is this a general informative video of pixel 6a and not a 6 month review, we already know what it is, what we came to know here is how it is performing and working after 6 months. C'mon stop wasting our time.
I got it... 6a almost immediately started overheating, like, shutting down overheating... wasn't doing video or anything demanding, didn't even have it in a case. Tried altering the setting which supposedly 'fixed' this problem. Still overheated. It was returned. How can reviews not discuss this issue in detail?
Love my 6a. Got it on Black Friday for £299, but got £149 trade-in for my Pixel 4a. So it was a no-brainer really. It does everything I need it to do and more. The camera is amazing for a phone at this price.
My only qualm would be the battery. Here in India, where majority of the population rely on mobile data for their daily internet, I am skeptical as to how will it hold up on a normal usage. Add to that how 5G is inefficient when it comes to power. It's a great device, no doubts. And the optimisation with Android 13 made this even a sweet device. But I just cannot fathom charging this device more than two times a day should I decide to stress this device. Great review, nonetheless!! 👍
Your correct. It's s wonderful phone. It really is. However, the battery life is a bit of a worry. If your someone that is just constantly using the phone with social media, and navigation, and videos, you may need to charge twice for sure. I'm a medium user and by after 8 hours I'm at about 40%.
Get the 6a for $299! I'd bet that it's trade in value will be at least $300 when the 7a comes out. Just keep the display clean and don't drop it. Great phone 👍👍👍
The 6a's trade in might be high only if you are trading in for another google phone. On Apple/Samsung, the 6a has been out less than one year and its trade in is already less than $200; the iphone 12 which is almost a 3 year old phone, has a trade in of $300.
@@purplecrayon7281 I was responding to someone who said they were waiting for the 7A. The trade-in value will be at least the $299 you would be paying for the 6a plus you get a great phone to use till then. The 6a if you bought it at full retail (very few do) has lost $249. The iphone has lost $539 (it was $839 at retail and you most likely paid that since iphones don't go on sale) Take care
At $299, it is worth it. Not at $450 launch price though. 1:50 the main issue with 6a display is not the 60Hz refresh rate, which is over blown by youtubers. It is the white balance. It is a tad too warm and there is no way we can adjust it.
I'm assuming streaming heats up with the as well not just video recording? Just got the Samsung a54 and feel like waiting untill my carrier has the pixel 7a atleast after my 180 day term... the a54 has 128gb internal expandable to 1Tb external which I'm favoring over the pixel for now although no 4k 😢 rather have both so to say...
These are the videos I love! Follow up to phones that came out earlier in the year! Great video! I actually was going to ask, if you're free to answer, my dad needs a phone for his business. He needs a phone he can rely on, should he get a 6a, nothing phone 1 or perhaps shell out a bit more and get a 7 or just wait for 7a?
Yeap - switched 3 days ago from apple, saying good bye to aaplewatch vs garmin, iphone 13 vs pixel 6, macbookaiir vs surface ….I has spend few hours on YT how Android works…I am impressed. 6A since I didn’t want take a risk with expensive P7, I don’t care of wirelles charging and screen dpi….so overall - Incredible phone, not missing at all the apple except one thing: the case protections for Pixels are not great as for apple :( Great video by the way ;)
Love the phone. $200 from Xfinity! As a matter of fact, dropped my first one and cracked the screen😢 it was !$180 to replace screen so I ordered a new 6a for $200 from Xfinity❤. Have had some fingerprint errors but not many.. I take 2 selfies a year so the front camera is not really needed. Missed the 3.5 mm jack but bought a wireless fm converter for the car no worries. Great phone for price.
Best phone i ever had, without using a kidney to afford it . Only complaint is the battery life, struggles to reach the end of the day , despite google declares 24h battery life, meh ...barely 13 hours of regular use. Best camera even without gazillion of megapixels like other brand sponsor their phones with.
I keep holding on to my one plus 6 even though I need an update pretty bad. The one reason I haven't been able to buy a new phone is the audio jack. Pixel 6a & 7 are excellent phones, but I just can't make the decision to buy one because of the lack of an audio jack; and the zenfone 9 doesn't have long-term support from android. But if things don't change in the next few months, I might have to start getting used to the wireless buds.
I went to a best buy wanting an iphone 14 pro, magic island and all. My 11 was filled to the brim. They required activation, so I walked out with this instead because it looked cool in black. Very satisfied with what I got. I hope we go back to those cool edgy designs of around 2013-15.
@@BillUtah I was gonna get it on Amazon, it came with Pixel buds A for $378. But I decided not to get it because I'm waiting on the price to drop on P7/P7pro or just wait on the 7a. But I don't need to trade my phones, I like to keep mines for extra backup.
Think the 3a review was one of the 1st videos I saw from this channel. Good work since then, men. 👍 R you sure it'll get android 16? 🤔 I for sure thought 15 but not 16. Where'd you see that?
I just got this phone on Amazon for $299 about a week ago, everything is good except the battery goes down a little fast and it takes about 2 hours to charge when it's 40% or lower besides that I would say this phone is a good bang for the buck
My Pixel 2 is going down almost dead😪now waiting for the Pixel 6a I purchased to arrive and after seeing this video and reading other comments I am feeling good about my purchase.
@@pragadeeshsv6596 For me it has been. A slightly larger screen than the pixel2 $529 Australian. I only use it for texting and calls with the odd photo so I literally do not need anything better and when I updated I plugged the two phones together and within 15 minutes all my stuff including apps contacts the whole kit and caboodle was in the new phone. And the battery for me is excellent. I am actually pleased with it.
I really am fan of the Boxy Look. Can't afford S Ultra now. So I'm eyeing on it but I need to play 1-2 Hour of Genshin Impact, without destroying the Phone in the process.
I just got mine and honestly after using multiple devices with and without 60, 90 and 120 hz displays, the luster wears off like a month in and you dont even notice.
After ditching iphone 14 pro due to financial decisions I have to get this one and can say I will keep it till it break down ❤ smoothest Android I have used with 60hz
Nice reveal! it helped a lot! ..But I hope that more phones coming in the future, will still provide the "old" way of charging or maybe that the user can decide. Because holy hell its a pain in the A to find a phone that wont irritate a heart implant these days. For real. If you're a person with a defibrilator, youre almost stuck with phones from 2018. We cant dry our hair when we dont have a hairdryer from 10 years ago, we cant cook when the oven is too high or we are too short, and now we cant even use our phone lika a normal human being. :^) Wireless charging is cool, ok. But not for everyone. People uploading unbox or testing videos always motivate the developers to get wireless charging for everyone. Please, think about "everyone" before saying that. :)
The Games I usually play is dragon ball legends and Fortnite btw Fortnite is a battery drainer I recommend playing with a charger and dbl does ok with battery doesn't drain as fast but still guzzles
Coming from 4a i am impressed with the upgrade in every edge every margin but the size could be more compact. 4a handling was swifter than 6a. But 2023 is about bigger phones i m might just an old model guy
Another Opinion here been using my pixel 6a past couple of months now didn't had big issues as per your complaint for the slow charging get a 30W+ USB-C PD 3.0 PPS charger. or 25W + USB-C PD 3.0 PPS charger. It'll complete its full charge from 10 to 90 within 40 mins
I disagree with the 6a not being able to outperform other processors or not for a power user, Juan Bagnells got videos showing it's one of the most capable phones when it comes to video editing and rendering thanks to the Tensor chip🐸🐸🐸🐸
🐸🐸🐸 I've owned pixel a series phone before and I would say it is the best value for money. Even if it ages it still works well like my pixel 3a xl still works well for day to day use
I am not a power user, but battery is just bad on all Pixels 6 and 7. I'll stay on the 6 until the 8 comes along. If they fix battery on 8 that's my next phone, if not i will have to change.
Probably the best of the A-line. Not because it's the newest rather "for me" it ticks all the boxes for my needs. Looks -Top! size -Top! UI-Top, Performance - Top! Consistency - almost Perfect! Camera- Awesome! Don't game a lot (used to but somehow lost interest along the way) so can't give a solid feedback on that. My favorite go-to for RU-vid and IG, don't know why but media/content consumption on SM is just heart-warming! I might just keep this till 8a or 9a, who knows...
Upgraded from the 5a to 6a 2 months ago because the 5a's screen cracked! The 6a is great; love the rather campact form factor though I would prefer a wider but less tall screen like the vanilla iPhone, battery life is great it got better with time. I had to return it after 1 month bcause the main microphone stooped working but turned out to be a software problem that went away after flashing a new software. In regards to heating, it gets warm significantly during set-up but not during regular use, only one time I got a heating warning and it was whilw playing music under direct sun while keeping it inside a black leather case. PS. i bought mine used in mint condition fot 800 AED which equals 220$, great deal.
I wish just once a RU-vidr would talk about the most important thing that a phone needs to do. The main reason I will ever buy a phone is to make a cellular connection and talk on it without calls dropping. And don't tell me it's all the carrier fault because I have a unlocked S22 on TMobile and it never drop calls. Every other unlocked phone I've had on TMobile would. Please forgive me for getting off the subject and I aways wanted a Pixel but I heard they have connection issues.
My sister had to return her 6a because of the lack of connectivity problem where she lives. She got an S22+ to replace the 6a. I'm sure that the 7a will have a better modem, like in the 7 and 7 Pro, so this will be fixed. I recently got a like-new 4a and it is one of my favorite phones. I hope the 7a will have a headphone jack and a smaller size, close to that of the 4a. I think they would have a big hit with such a phone. I have a Pixel 7 as well as the 4a and I like them both. If the 7a was a little smaller than the 6a and brought back the headphone jack, I would buy it.
I love this phone tensor chip makes it so much faster plus it's the chip that's in the 6 a nd 6 pro can't go wrong with this phone the camera is fantastic and take the best pictures I've ever taken and I've had all the flag ships and none of them take better pictures than this phone.
I bought the Pixel 6a and I kept it only for 2 days. Too many lags. Then I changed for the Pixel 7 to have a better experience. I will not recommend the 6a 👎
I just want to know what game you were playing, with the blue background, something bouncing around the screen, and in portrait mode. It looks like I might like it. 🐸
