Yeah, if google pixel will appear on store shelves in my country - it would be a banger. In Ukraine, pixel phones sold unofficially and most of them are japaneese versions, europian version costs more
Sony Xperia 5 lineup is pretty compact. It does compromise a few features, but I think that comes with the smaller size. People say they want smaller phones, but then they get the tiny battery and jump ship. Just look at the iPhone SE. Flagship processor with a 2011 battery = garbage.
I also have the pixel 4a, and I still love it after a year and a half! Never had a problem with it. It's the perfect size, the camera is so good, and it shines with my real wood case!
You should use this as a daily driver to prove how a mid range phone can meet or exceed your daily needs. I am still using a used Pixel 3 that I got on Woot for $80 and I work for Hospice so I am constantly checking emails, navigating and this phone still meets my needs. I am 52 years old and can afford ANY phone I want but I choose phones like the 6a because I am smart enough to know that most of the bells and whistles of a $1500 phone are useless. Just higher profit margins for manufacturers. But expensive phones are like Louis Vuitton bags, VEBLEN GOODS. please use this phone as a daily for a bit to prove my point.
I dont know about that, i got samsung s21 for $700 flagship device that has tge 120Hz refresh rate, 8GB of ram, 3 camera setup with 50x zoom, ability to use eSim which is very nice since it can act like a dual sim phone. lots of vells and whistles but also lots of things exclusive to samsung like the samsung smart tags which you cant use on other phones which i find useful and also unlocking features of my samsung wireless ear bud. Ability to use samsung dex by connecting wirelessly to a TV or monitor plus much more. I like Google phones also for the features too but samsung is giving me flagship device for $700 canadian which is about $600US, not much more than your pixel 6A. that $150 extra gets me a superior camera, much superior screen, faster phone with higher ram, eSim, better screen refresh and a more premium built plus much more. It is still as fast as the day I bought it and it doesnt have the bugs that you sometimes get on pixel phones
@@samjam6989 I owned Note 8 amongst other Samsung flagships. Google experience you either get or you don't. And my Pixel takes better pics than any Samsung I ever owned.
@@samjam6989 Samsung with all it's bloatware and duplicate apps. I have a pixel 6, s22 and note 9 that I switch between. That s22 battery is atrocious.
I've had a Pixel 6 Pro since launch and I'm not overly impressed by it. It's not much of a step up from my 2020 Motorola Edge+. Battery is okay, but not as good as iPhone or Samsung S22 Ultra. At least it was cheaper than the competition though.
I couldn't have said it better myself! Love the pixel product, I still have a Pixel 3 because I like the small form factor and when you compare specs from the Pixel 3 to the Pixel 6A it's just not compelling enough to buy a new one, the bigger battery is the only thing that's got me questioning it, I would absolutely love to see a premium phone in a smaller package as you described. I'm thinking no more than $599 retail but have a good camera set up at least a good selfie camera anyway for group photos, a decent amount of storage, a great screen OLED is a must 120 Hertz would be nice, 5.7-in screen would be perfect.
Great video, very insightful. Love the way you showed off the features. I pre ordered this yesterday in chalk and am very excited to upgrade from the pixel 4a.
Is it good I just pre-ordered one yesterday and I'd like to know how's it's been for you also I got the sage color also love your last name "Groovy" if you know you know!
Still sticking to my Pixel 4 love the 90hz and fast face unlock. Camera is just the same except that ultrawide. Still want small size Pixel with high specs like 5.8-6". Why Google aren't listening to their consumers. And that inscreen fingerprint is lil slow compared to OnePlus.
6A is a joy in the hand, perfect size..for my taste, I would take the compact pixel 6a all day long..and what alien is scrolling at 120hz and actually seeing anything?
The og pixel 6 should have been this size from launch. 6.4 feels like big, i didn't see much difference between 6 and 6 pro though pro is larger on paper, i just felt like there should be a 6 or 6.1 inch pixel 6 / upcoming 7 atleast.
I've had pixel 1, 2 & 3 all XL and I just got the 6a and it's great, just like the others only a bit smaller. My hands don't cramp with this device. I'll probably get a 7XL and use the 6a as a backup.
Also I’m coming from a iPhone 7 so I’m not complaining whatsoever on the functionality of the devicei was going to go with the 6pro but google fi has been out of stock for a while and I got tired of waiting 🙄 definitely the cheap route to the pixel family
Hi friend, I wouldn't call this a review. A review, imo, would be one that's done after a week or so of usage. This here, is more like a first looks/impression.
Missed out on picking up the Pixel 6 for $399 from Best Buy during Prime Days. Been waiting to see this reviewed, as the battery on my 3a XL is on the struggle bus. Will probably just wait closer to the holidays to see where the prices are for both phones.
I'd hold off on a Pixel 6 and wait for the 7. The pixel 6 was a huge disappointment for me and many others due to buggy software and horrible connection.
Thanks for the unboxing video. It is nice they reduced the thickness of the camera bar on the 6a. Now I am hoping the same improvement would apply on the Pixel 7, or I will come back for the 6a 😂
Been following you since around 2012, I got into tech and learned about tech because of your channel, but Im no TH-camr, just a regular guy, I have been mess over so bad by Google and their Google pass, I'm at the point that I think legal action might be my only recourse. But I'm not that type of guy who likes to sue people and whatnot. So I'm making one last ditch effort to resolve this situation and asking you for help if you possibly can. If not, I completely understand you're a busy person. But was hoping since you have so many followers and influence that you might be able to help a regular guy out.....
I have a Pixel 6 and I love mine. I also have the anker charge brick that you have and I love it also because it is small and is powerful enough for most devices.
I'm from India and i love your videos. I would love to follow you for recommendations for my upcoming phones and i love the way you recommend the best without any hesitation. That for me is a bang on fact i respect a lot from your videos. More love,Indian💙🇮🇳
is it just me or does anyone else notice the instant distortion pixel phones give a person when they use the selfie camera? on older models you could see it more distinctly I remember on my pizel 4 it was so different infact that I was shocked at the image I was looking at they make the face more elongated and round its really trippy. it also is seemingly a built in to factory setting because there is no setting to remove it or to disable it from the selfies you take.
Today, bought the Google Pixel 6A on the Verizon network for $199 US dollars. I find the Pixel 6A has plenty of quality of life features that makes it an awesome mid range smartphone. The Google Pixel 6A can be bought for $200 US dollars or lower depending on the network. The features the Pixel 6A offers and all the small quality of life things it has makes the smartphone worth buying.
As someone who uses a Galaxy Fold 3 for my personal device and a Pixel 6 Pro for a work phone, I personally prefer Samsung's UI, call it blasphemy if you want but OneUI > Stock Android, especially since Samsung has committed to 4 years of OS updates
@@dimitrisaivdemetr Yes, in short. Battery holds charge just as much as any other Android/pixel. You'll probably end the day with 20%. The time it takes to charge the phone is shit. Takes over an hour and a half.
I love the Pixel series been rockin a 4a for 2 years now. Love the phone, was hoping to upgrade to 6a but the less then stellar battery life, plus the omission of the headphone jack is a big drawback for me. Might go another year with the 4a and hope the 7a is better.
Have a 4xl, about ready to switch and don't feel like paying another 800+ for a phone so 6a will be a good choice plus their protection plan will be a nice addition
now the lighting is damn good... doesnt overexopses but does look kindof funky.. you guys need to fiddle with lighting a little more... also lighting matched to the unboxing will be just goated...
An excellent device from Google Pixel. or I can say a mini Pixel. Love this because this is a budget device almost. Thanks, Google for this amazing device also Thanks to you Unbox Therapy for this informative video.

I'm thinking that if Google would make their phone availability on more counties, that would be a banger!
Availablity is why the A53 will have more sales than the 6A and nothing phone.
true that, im a pixel fan but availability is a real kicker
had to import mine from EU, making it more expensive than the a53. I'm too used to my pixel 3 to go to bloatware.
Yeah, if google pixel will appear on store shelves in my country - it would be a banger. In Ukraine, pixel phones sold unofficially and most of them are japaneese versions, europian version costs more

Am back to watching unbox therapy, am starting to like it the way I did back in 2018 😊😊
I've been a proud pixel 4a user for the past two years. I would have loved pixel 6a with the same size dimensions and pro features.
Then there would be no point in buying the 6 pro 😂
Agreed. I love the 5.8 inch size. There really was no reason for 6.1. Maybe a 90Hz refresh rate with 8 Gb RAM would've been ideal.
The 4as fingerprint sensor is far better. This will drive you mad
I also have the pixel 4a, and I still love it after a year and a half! Never had a problem with it. It's the perfect size, the camera is so good, and it shines with my real wood case!

What's up Lew? Love the new background.
Much love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Ngl the video test was friggin awesome. Android flagships have already beaten iPhone in photography. Now to take videography to the max too.
Just wish it had a headphone jack like the previous A series phones
This is my exact gripe! Using a 5a, and I'd really miss the headphone jack if I got a 6 or 6a 😩
They make wired ear buds with a usb-c connector 😉
