Great video, just got a quick question. What are your thoughts about the fact that the security updates will probably end next year? Will the phone still be safe to use after that? If not, then it's probably worth spending a bit more to get the 7a, no? Thanks :)
This is a GREAT question!. So it is true that the Android OS updates will stop in 2025 for the pixel 6a. The security updates will still come in until 2027. So, yes you will stop getting OS updates and some new features but, your phone will be protected until 2027 with no problems!
Also if you can spend a little more money to get the pixel 7a that would awesome!. The 7a it’s such a nice upgrade from the pixel 6a. I’m making an unboxing video then I will do a video about the pixel 7a!
I bought the 6a, my first Pixel, about 18 months ago and slapped it in cheap, but very sleek,Teahoya case and put a Screen Protector on it. It's in mint condition and I _still_ love it and still like just picking it up and using it. I've been _so_ tempted to go for the 7a/8a, or even the 8, but something always stops me, just before I buy. I've had any number of phones, including iPhones, Samsungs and One+ etc but can honestly say that the 6a is the "best" (for my needs) phone I've ever had and the cameras are great! 😉😉
pixel 6a is a long term keeper for me. Have it 18 month already and love it, for years to come keeper too. Its simple, if it's not broken, don't fix it!
I use the Google pixel 6a switching over from Apple and honestly its way way better in my opinion and it does amazing for me i have a spegien thin fit case and a spegien screen protector on my phone and i absolutely love it along with a onn card wallet on the back that can slide off
@@Raytech7r the case I'm using is the spegien thin fit for Google pixel 6a and the wallet is made by onn it sticks to the back of your phone and it slides off or u can slide it back on and u will hear a click when it does
I picked up a perfect condition T mobile locked 6a on Ebay for $100. No issues with my battery or dropped calls. Not to mention I also have "flagship" Samsung s22 but the 6a is a better phone for me. Definitely better point and shoot camera and stock android is my favorite. I work all day from my car using GPS, calling patients and families and everything else I do and get all day battery. But I do use dark mode and tweak my phones for efficiency. Nothing slows me down with this phone. I can buy any phone I want, but no need. This is my favorite phone since my Galaxy Note 4 and my Pixel 3 which both I got used on Ebay. Once my contract is up for my s22, it will be sold on Ebay. Maybe I will get a Pixel 8 or 8a down the road, but the camera on the 6a still takes better pictures than the 8 in some settings. There was a reason why Google didn't upgrade for all those years.
That’s awesome! I’m glad the pixel works great for you!. I love the camera as well, definitely my favorite part about the phone. If you get the Google pixel 8 let me know how it goes! Also have you had any issue with the pixel 6a?
Mom drives a 6a. She has never had any issues. Even connectivity issues. She loves it. I will probably upgrade her this year and add the 6a to my own collection 😁
I have my Google Pixel 6a mobile phone for a little over a year. I was thinking of buying a Google Pixel 8 this year, a big leap forward, but Every time I wanted to press the button and order, I would change my mind because I would ask the same question every time: do I really need a better cell phone than my 6a? The answer is always the same, I really don't need a better mobile phone. The only real drawback of this mobile phone is neither the battery (it's quite solid) nor the fingerprint sensor (it works just fine) but the front camera during video calls in low light. It simply lacks more megapixels (8 is to less). Aperture, sensor size and pixel size on the sensor are quite ok. 7a and pixel 8 (both compact phones like 6a) both have 4k front camera and obviously more pixel.
The pixel 6a is super solid I love mine as well. It will still be good for a few years. I feel like it will start to feel really old, when they stop the OS support for it in 2025.
Greetings from Philippines. Thank you for your video, it is very informative! Can you please kindly advise your screen on time and what is the average screen on time of the phone. I am planning to get 1 but I would like to know first the average SOT. Thank you for your reply - cris
Hey I will let you know! I don’t use it on Sunday and I rarely use it on Saturdays. My screen on time might be too low. Except when I’m playing some games on it.
Just picked up a new(?) unlocked Verizon UW Pixel 6a because I needed eSim and I wasn't willing to spend over $300. So far so good. Switched from a Motorola One 5g Ace. Carrier is US Mobile 5g Warp (Verizon network).
The size can be a deal breaker yeah!. I think the back cameras are the best thing about the phone. Except for the from camera. With a lot of light the shots and videos look really good
Hey brother, i have the pixel 6a when i am in call if the person is speaking something at the same time when i play a instagram reel the sound started to crakel from the front speakers, note that both call volume and music volume were set into max and don’t put the call in speakers. try one and please let me know the same issue you r facing or not… waiting for your reply brother
Hey just saw this I will test that out and see what happens!. I personally haven’t experienced problems with the speaker or any of my other users at work.
@@mikhael_benyaminhope you are enjoying Indonesia!. I love this Google pixel 6a. I know a lot of people are looking into it. Just wanted to let people know about the good and the bad
@Raytech7r I still use the ultra as my daily, but something about pixel 6a feels special to me. It won a blind camera test, and the smaller size makes it easy to text one-handed. The playing now feature is cool and it's snappy for a budget phone.
This is a $99 phone in 2024. $200 is a rip. Don't forget you have a 7a & 8a respectively in the foreground. 8a is 299. 7a should be 199 leaving the 6a at 99.
