I don't see what's the big deal with wireless charging, I feel its the most inconvenient charging method as u cant comfortably use your phone while its charging wirelessly. Plus whats the point when u need a wire anyways to charge wirelessly?
Yeah I really wish they'd go back to a more compact phone. I'd be fine with a phone the size of the Pro if it was a foldable, but that's it. I wanna be able to use my phone with one hand it shouldn't be cumbersome
I was going to buy the 6 when the price dropped the other week but noticed it's now gone back up. 6a also gives free buds so it's a decent deal especially once you trade in your old phone. I'm coming from a 3a XL so I'm sure the 6a is a good upgrade.
Sunshine when you spot a deal, go for it...rob a bank, sell your hamster, whatever it takes. A great deal dropped on eBay regarding the Acer Chromebook....it was the last one so boom I went for it....now true it might turn out to be a lemon but our Tech Spurt here was waxing lyrical about this model lol
I purchase 6 last week on sale while on sale .. I keep my google 3a xl because the trade was less than 30.. Google is offering 300 off 3a xl plus free ear buds on their website... Looks like I will be having 2 new phones with this deal...
This video is refreshing. NO pink and purple background, NO backwards baseball cap. NO talking excessively with hands like a rapper. Thumbs up from me.
Just went with the 6a coming from the Pixel 4. Mostly due to size as I have human sized hands, a bit bummed about the wireless charging but I'll be getting a case anyway so not a huge deal to get an adapter. Manufacturers if you're reading this, I'm willing to pay for flagship specs in a smaller size if you're willing to make them. (There are dozens of us)
You might want to take a look at the base model of Samsung's flagship - the Galaxy S22. It's a smaller size than even the Pixel 6a while having the same display size (6.1 inches).
@@davek5899 Great performance and camera but the battery life is embarrassingly short, at least the Exynos version. The S21 is still a better option. I'm hearing a lot of good things about the new Zenfone 9.
Is having slow charging speed not an issue to you? The only conern for me is charging and i really like compact size what do you say about charging? Like single charge can last us for a day?
The Pixel 6 has horrendous video capture. It has blotchy blacks in broad daylight, and struggles when changing between the sensors - dropping frames constantly. Not enough reviewers bring up the pixels unacceptable video performance.
Mmm non expandable memory is a bit of an issue but 128gb is a decent amount. It's either the 6a or A52s or maybe A53. I'd be happy if the 5a was sold globally.
I really like the look of the 6a and it's smaller size. But everything else is such a done grade from the 6. Idk why they refuse to make a flagship that isn't bigger than 6in. The Xperia compact z2 was the last phone I had that was small and had flagship specs
I agree, and unfortunately the 60hz and 2 less ram in the easier to hold pixel 6a give the phone a less smooth performance over the pixel 6 despite what some reviews say, I've had and compared both myself. Google is ignoring the user base that Apple and Samsung don't by offering small flagships.
If you're going to go for a Pixel, get the normal 6, it's not too much more expensive and it has a vastly better screen and of course better camera's. I own the standard 6 and love it despite the horrible fingerprint sensor. It's a really great phone. For future proofing it's the smart choice.
And most importantly, for me, a flat screen. Because curved is just so darn impractical when it comes to protect screens🥲 Made the jump from OnePlus 7 Pro to Pixel 6, best jump I ever made
I can afford the 6 pro but I prefer the size of the 6a and the overall features of the phone are still very good. I truly wanted the 6 but unfortunately it's still big and hefty for my liking.
I've owned the Pixel 6 for a few months now and have never had any problem with the fingerprint sensor. I especially love the convenience of having this sensor also on the lock screen. The only annoying problem I've encountered is that my phone calls my business partner even if I'm not touching the phone, sometimes even in the middle of the night! - I can't figure out why it does this, and it only seems to call his number! - I'm sure he thinks I do it on purpose 🤣🤣 All in all it's another great phone from Google.
Coming from a pixel 6 user, I wish all of the newly Pixel 6A purchasers well and all the best to you. I know you will have the best experience because the Pixel 6 is the best phone on the market regardless of what somebody says online. Enjoy your phone! Welcome to team Pixel 👍🏾
We want a flagship phone that's 6 inches or smaller! I skipped the pixel 6 and the pro version because they are large and hefty compared to the pixel 5. So, the 6a is the one for me but it's a shame that it doesn't come with full features. I like the Sony Xperia 5 range but their cameras aren't as remarkable as the pixels unfortunately.

I went for the standard 6 because it was roughly the same size or thereabouts as the Pixel 4XL. Haven't really had any problems with it apart from the fingerprint sensor, which I think is as much to do with the type of glass as it is the sensor.
My fingerprint sensor works pretty good on my Pixel 6. I just wish it had face unlock, but I knew it didn't have that feature before I bought it, so 🤷🏿♂️

Dude Google needs to stop playing around and actually do the whole laptop and tablet thing. I purchased the Pixel slate in 2019 and it is by far the best laptop/ tablet I have ever owned. Still to this day I refuse to upgrade because the synergy Chrome OS has with Android. In my opinion is just like having an iPhone and a MacBook. My girlfriend was so jealous and fact she actually purchased a pixelbook go but she was really mad that Google discontinue the Pixel slate because she is absolutely in love with this tablet. When Google really wants to do something they can do a really good job. I just wish the internet would stop hating on them so much because the pixel slate was by far the best computer I've ever had and MKBHD basically lied to the entire internet!
I don't see why the heck anyone needs wireless charging? Used it once and never thought of using again. Its just a feature that adds the phone to the category of premium smartphones and helps some guys to boast about it.
All those other $399 phones are 10x better than this. Pixel will die just like Lumia if this continues. I only see arrogance from Google's end. People aren't fools.
They selling it now for real value !! Sadly for countries where they aren't that well established in manufacturing like India.. they are selling the bloody 6a for aprrox 500 pounds or 560 us dollars !!
I'm a huge Google fan my Google 3 xl was great I now have a pixel 6 and it's super good battery lasts all day Camara is amazing it's just all around great phone only bad thing is no face unlock 🔓
Id had my pixel 6 a total of 6 weeks... Dropped it from a short height, with a case on, and it shattered the screen... Quotes upwards of £180 to fix the screen, no thanks!
I wanted a smaller phone with decent SoC, camera and no bloatware - and longer than couple years of updates - So I picked Pixel 6a. Other options I had was a) Zenfone 9 but it was too expensive, only couple years of updates and b) Sony 10 VI (weak SoC and camera). Not many options if you want a phone with around 6¨ display,
How fascinating how everyone who compares phones talks about what back or frame the phone has. How it feels to hold and if it leaves fingerprints on the back. 😊 I've never met a single person who doesn't have their phone in a case and doesn't give a damn about that stuff. You can't even tell what colour your phone is.
You can understand this guy is giving an Honest Review because he practically said Pixel 6A is the best buy. If this was a paid review like CNET they would have recommended the most expensive one.
Glad to have come across your video. I’ve grown tired of my iPhone and eyeing to switch to Android. This is a deliberately insightful review. Thanks so much! PS. got scared a bit cuz it’s bed time here then that doll popped out lmao
I got the Pixel 6 last year and absolutely love it still to this day but I would go with the 6a, if I'm buying it now. I would have gotten the 6 a if it were an option at the time.
Bought a Pixel 6 Pro 2 weeks ago (previous phone was S9+) and i have been very impressed with this Google phone, so bought this recently launched Pixel 6a for my missus to replace her iPhone 7 and we are both very happy with these products. This is her first ever android phone and she said that she will never go back to Apple again.
Is having slow charging speed not an issue to you? The only conern for me is charging and i really like compact size what do you say about charging? Like single charge can last us for a day?
I was reviewing this video in order to decide which Pixel 6 I would like to purchase. I have loyalty to anything with the “Google” brand name simply because of their specialities in cloud service and versatility. This guide was excellent! I think that your words about the Pixel 6 Pro regarding travelling in camera settings was also spot on, and I would like to upgrade to the 6 Pro in the future. As of right now, however, the standard Pixel 6 will do quite nicely! Keep it up! With Regards, ~Kyle
I would wait for the Pixel 7 release. The Pixel 6 Pro has a first gen Tensor chip, anything first gen has bugs (And it does have some bugs if you Google it you'll see the Pixel 6 series has some bugs). Second gen releases of anything are always a big upgrade.
I had the pixel pro for a month . And I sold it but I was in love . When I started watching videos the 6 battery is way better . I am an iPhone lover but that white pixel pro that I sold , was beautiful and did nice things . Stick with THE 6 A3 . I will buy the 6 even I have the 13 pro max .
I've had the pro for a while. If you have butter fingers, it's good. I drop it all the time. No issues. The camera isn't really worth the extra cost. All of them use the same software and do the same tricks. The telephoto doesn't really add much. My daughter's cheap Samsung takes better nighttime sky photos. Seriously. Just buy the cheaper ones.
Hey Tech Spurt. Just wanna say I really appreciate your videos and like others have said I have subscribed even though I dont need a new phone (yet). I am a Huawei P30 Pro user and I recently returned my Pixel 6 Pro back for 3 main absolute deal breaker reasons. 1 - Battery life was so disappointing. Getting into bed every night with less than 15% moderate to light use. 2 - The "fast charge" was so slow. Took nearly 2 hours from 10%. This changed the way i thought about charging and made me want to top it up all the time. 3.- The phone heating up was so so unsettling and frankly was really uncomfortable. So disappointing. I honnestly jumped in head first for the full Google experience too. I just WISH Hauwei would have Google back on their devices, absolutely excellent phones
When I found the 6a for $299 I pulled the trigger (can you still even say that?) and now have replaced my 3a. No regrets so far it's a great device for the money.
If you're not bothered by 60hz (that's what my current phone has) is the 6a really worth it? It's the only thing other than the overheating that I see people complaining about. I'm not looking to spend 1K on a phone, the 6a is the only one standing out for me. Any recommendations on other phones would be greatly appreciated
Depends on you , if you want camera centric and compact phone with flagship chipset(plus a decent 4410 muah battery) . 6a is for you . if you want specification then there bunch of chinese phone 😂 kidding , nothing 1 is a alternative for this device unless if iam considering you dont problem with average camera
The new lens on the Pro and regular 6 is so much better if you want your pictures to have natural bokeh and also cleaner photos with punchier colours and less out of focus things if they are moving
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 - it's pretty old but is just fantastic. I love it. The fingerprint feature is starting to play up though so thought I might look out for a new phone and have decided to go for a Pixel. First, I was surprised and annoyed to find headphones jacks have vanished. I love my wired Bose noise-cancelling headphones. They work fine, I'm not replacing them and I don't want earbuds. So this feels like a scam for ppl to buy (easy to lose) earbuds tbh. I have normal woman-sized hands so I don't what a mahoosive phone plus, I always put my phone in a case. All these phone features are quite superfluous, really. I just want a pretty good camera (cos if I was serious about taking photos I'd just buy a camera), a mic jack, relatively fast charging and to surf the web. I don't watch videos or play games on my phone and I'm not looking to go swimming with it. It's annoying that the features I want are disappearing and they're adding all sorts of nonsense that I really don't care about to make a giant-ass piece of expensive equipment. Some phones cost more than my freakin' laptop! So yeah, phones nowadays seem to be massive, expensive and yet worse than ever. My first Nokia probably still has some charge left in it haha!
Bought the 6 13 days ago, coming from the 4a. The 6 is big and chunky, and I have big hands, gets hot on regular use, wireless charging does not charge the phone, putting this phone in the front pocket is uncomfortable, I am giving it back and going with the 6a or S22
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the pixel 7 and 7 pro being good. The screen puts me off of the 6a, and the charging speeds of the entire family really isn't great. After my OnePlus 7 Pro being destroyed by software updates, I really just want a fast charging phone (65w or more), that has decent performance (Snapdragon 870 territory or better) and software that doesn't glitch. Seems like a fairly small ask on paper, but it seems like you have to spend €1000 to get that now.
Watched on my Pixel 6. Excellent video! I wish they had these prices in the states when I got my pixel. The 6a would have been tempting if it had come out when my 6 was available. It would work better as an option for my budget.
60 hz is unacceptable in this day and age....even cheaper phones support 120hz these days. But it ain't half bad...almost as good as your Boris Johnson joke hahahahaha....still laughing lol I think your videos are the most enjoyable.......keep it up. Nothing pervy there lol
Attending many sporting events, I find the zoom on my pixel 2xl less than impressive... That's the main reason I'm drawn to the Pro... But I think the 6 is a better match, overall for my needs... Can't decide. Guess I'll wait until the 7 comes out and decide then.
@@gamerrage3558 short answer, I have! Still using the 2XL. Long answer... I just don't see the value in spending money on a new phone when this one still works just fine. Now I'll wait to see if the 8/8 Pro are a significant upgrade, and how this phone is doing at that point. Really the only thing I can see changing with getting a new phone is a better zoom camera and the ability to deposit checks once or twice a year through my credit union's app, which I currently don't do because of no security updates. But it does literally everything else I need it to do, so, I'll save my money. What are you considering?
Hey Tech Spurt, I have a samsung A52S 5G and i want to upgrade but nothing seems worth it, any suggestions? It would be cool if you could make some videos for each phone out at the moment what we should upgrade to, thanks
So if I am running really intensive apps for my business, Company Cam for instance, is the Pro worth it. That app particularly seems to crash a lot on my Pixel 5. It is slow enough now that it is effecting my sales calls, which is obviously bad. Thanks in advance for any answers!
I've had my pixel 6 for about a week now with a thick screen protector on it and not had 1 issue yet with the fingerprint reader. Maybe it's an individual thing with types of fingerprint or how well you cover your entire print when doing the setup scans.
I've owned the Pixel 3a XL since it launched but the charging point is now starting to fail unfortunately! So I bought a 6 Pro about 3 weeks ago from the Google store - absolute pile of junk ... screen constantly freezes up, WiFi connection very intermittent, calls drop, no 4g service at all at work, camera white screens constantly... I have never had any of these issues on the 3a XL. The only good points were the 4x zoom and the under screen fingerprint sensor worked well. Incredibly disappointed with it, so returned to Google. I will wait till my 3a XL properly dies and then move to the dark side (iPhone 13 Pro) - I've always been an Android user but if this is the sort of junk Google produce now, they've lost me as a buyer
My pixel 6 pro doesn't have any of those problems. It's just too big and heavy for me since it turns out I really like to use phones with one hand, and it gets hot, but I live in a hot climate.
you will feel stupid after buying it, as i do , buy anything , a cheap one will do better, I hate it, i got google pixel 1 and i fell in love with it, so i thought google 6 pro omg it most be amazing , big mistake, i can honestly say is the worst phone i have ever had, so bad it made me love my old samsung phone ,so i said since i expend all this money in this trash I will use it to play music while i play, but no , this trash keeps stopping my music and it keeps tryint to snich , yes I HATE IT.
Guys honestly don't bother buying the 6. It's so slow and unresponsive, finger print sucks, connections also suck with Bluetooth. My pixel 2 work's better, regret buying it. Wish I bought the Poko phone.
I'm using pixel 4a. I'm planning to update with pixel 6 or 6a. It's a perfect phone for photography as well as most elegant in this price segment. The only issue i have to face is that it overheats while having video calls. I just wanna know if any user who recently updated from 4 series to 6, is this problem is still there or not?
Basically the pixel 6a is for people who like a smaller phone. The most important things are in place it's water resistant great cameras and they are using the same processor. If you like smaller phones get the 6a, if you like bigger phones get the 6 or 6 pro. Great video.
Hi, I like your channel, I've been watching it for around half an year while looking for the phone to buy. I've bought oneplus nord 2 and I'd really like to see comparison between this and pixel 6a. I've bought nord 2 for over 2x cheaper on amazon day and I wonder if that was a better purchase.
Very nice review! I like the pure Android experience a lot. It also looks elegant and premium. The camera are an enjoyment to have always with you. Only loading takes a lot time but the battery endurance is good enough. No need to get the Ultras of these days. This phone is perfect for every day use and has all I need in a phone!
i've got the 6 pro, which i love but fancied a smaller phone for day to day use so pre-ordered the 6a. Looking forward to using it. Looks an awesome phone. PS The fingerprint scanner on the 6 pro works perfectly. As good as the S22 Ultra I had for a while.
Hahaha, your comments crack me up. ... huffs and puffs like Boris Johnson when he is not trying to tell a lie?!!! ROFL I'm currently routing for the 6a for the lack of money. Its camera better be better than the one on my Note 8 because so far the Huawei P30pro lost the comparison. Let's see. Thanks for the video, loved your presentation.
I have Google pixel 6 pro and I like it, just saying I need more space for photos summit about Google one or Google drive, I'm not a tech person so I have no idea when the phone should have lost off space I think it's summit about my Google account 🤷🏼♂️

I just wish the internet would stop hating on them so much because the pixel slate was by far the best computer I've ever had and MKBHD basically lied to the entire internet!
@@TaureanSmoke what specs does your Pixel slate have also what other devices do you have just curious I have a pixel for a
I don't see why the heck anyone needs wireless charging?
Used it once and never thought of using again.
Its just a feature that adds the phone to the category of premium smartphones and helps some guys to boast about it.
All those other $399 phones are 10x better than this. Pixel will die just like Lumia if this continues. I only see arrogance from Google's end. People aren't fools.
They think they are apple, but atleast apples phones work😂
They selling it now for real value !!
Sadly for countries where they aren't that well established in manufacturing like India.. they are selling the bloody 6a for aprrox 500 pounds or 560 us dollars !!
I'm a huge Google fan my Google 3 xl was great I now have a pixel 6 and it's super good battery lasts all day Camara is amazing it's just all around great phone only bad thing is no face unlock 🔓
I got my new Pixel 6a for $369 USD ... plus a free set of Google earbuds. Can't beat that.
Id had my pixel 6 a total of 6 weeks... Dropped it from a short height, with a case on, and it shattered the screen... Quotes upwards of £180 to fix the screen, no thanks!
I wanted a smaller phone with decent SoC, camera and no bloatware - and longer than couple years of updates - So I picked Pixel 6a.
Other options I had was a) Zenfone 9 but it was too expensive, only couple years of updates and b) Sony 10 VI (weak SoC and camera).
Not many options if you want a phone with around 6¨ display,
How fascinating how everyone who compares phones talks about what back or frame the phone has. How it feels to hold and if it leaves fingerprints on the back.
😊 I've never met a single person who doesn't have their phone in a case and doesn't give a damn about that stuff.
You can't even tell what colour your phone is.
Great comparison. Think i'll wait for the 7 series.
You can understand this guy is giving an Honest Review because he practically said Pixel 6A is the best buy. If this was a paid review like CNET they would have recommended the most expensive one.
Glad to have come across your video. I’ve grown tired of my iPhone and eyeing to switch to Android. This is a deliberately insightful review. Thanks so much!
PS. got scared a bit cuz it’s bed time here then that doll popped out lmao
I got the Pixel 6 last year and absolutely love it still to this day but I would go with the 6a, if I'm buying it now. I would have gotten the 6 a if it were an option at the time.
I have a s20... I chose it over the comparable pixel at the time... I hate Samsung 😑

Why don't u included pixel 6 images in comparison?
Bought a Pixel 6 Pro 2 weeks ago (previous phone was S9+) and i have been very impressed with this Google phone, so bought this recently launched Pixel 6a for my missus to replace her iPhone 7 and we are both very happy with these products. This is her first ever android phone and she said that she will never go back to Apple again.
Is having slow charging speed not an issue to you? The only conern for me is charging and i really like compact size what do you say about charging? Like single charge can last us for a day?
How's the battery life
MKBHD crapped all over this phone. He said the performance was choppy. He said the screen has rainbow distortion on off angles.
I was reviewing this video in order to decide which Pixel 6 I would like to purchase. I have loyalty to anything with the “Google” brand name simply because of their specialities in cloud service and versatility. This guide was excellent!
I think that your words about the Pixel 6 Pro regarding travelling in camera settings was also spot on, and I would like to upgrade to the 6 Pro in the future. As of right now, however, the standard Pixel 6 will do quite nicely!
Keep it up!
With Regards,

I would wait for the Pixel 7 release. The Pixel 6 Pro has a first gen Tensor chip, anything first gen has bugs (And it does have some bugs if you Google it you'll see the Pixel 6 series has some bugs). Second gen releases of anything are always a big upgrade.
I had the pixel pro for a month . And I sold it but I was in love . When I started watching videos the 6 battery is way better . I am an iPhone lover but that white pixel pro that I sold , was beautiful and did nice things . Stick with THE 6 A3 . I will buy the 6 even I have the 13 pro max .
I got ordered the pixel 6a for $249 from Consumer Cellular but it only comes in Black but that's fine by me
2 hours to charge the pixel 6a is the biggest let down😰
I own a realme x2 pro that only takes 20-25 minutes for a full charge
I thought of booking it as it opened for pre book in India today. But, before I could finish watching all the review videos it's already sold out.
I've had the pro for a while. If you have butter fingers, it's good. I drop it all the time. No issues. The camera isn't really worth the extra cost. All of them use the same software and do the same tricks. The telephoto doesn't really add much. My daughter's cheap Samsung takes better nighttime sky photos. Seriously. Just buy the cheaper ones.
As someone who doesn't wireless charge and has never had a phone over 60Hz, I'm sold on the 6a!
"captain bigcock" such a way with words I love it 😂😂😂
Please compare a53 vs pixel 6a ☺️

Hey Tech Spurt. Just wanna say I really appreciate your videos and like others have said I have subscribed even though I dont need a new phone (yet). I am a Huawei P30 Pro user and I recently returned my Pixel 6 Pro back for 3 main absolute deal breaker reasons. 1 - Battery life was so disappointing. Getting into bed every night with less than 15% moderate to light use.
2 - The "fast charge" was so slow. Took nearly 2 hours from 10%. This changed the way i thought about charging and made me want to top it up all the time.
3.- The phone heating up was so so unsettling and frankly was really uncomfortable. So disappointing. I honnestly jumped in head first for the full Google experience too. I just WISH Hauwei would have Google back on their devices, absolutely excellent phones
I just got the 6a for £299 minus a £88 trade in on my pixel 3. I was going to go for the 6 but after watching this I think I made a good choice ?
When I found the 6a for $299 I pulled the trigger (can you still even say that?) and now have replaced my 3a. No regrets so far it's a great device for the money.
If you're not bothered by 60hz (that's what my current phone has) is the 6a really worth it? It's the only thing other than the overheating that I see people complaining about. I'm not looking to spend 1K on a phone, the 6a is the only one standing out for me. Any recommendations on other phones would be greatly appreciated
Depends on you , if you want camera centric and compact phone with flagship chipset(plus a decent 4410 muah battery) . 6a is for you . if you want specification then there bunch of chinese phone 😂 kidding , nothing 1 is a alternative for this device unless if iam considering you dont problem with average camera
The new lens on the Pro and regular 6 is so much better if you want your pictures to have natural bokeh and also cleaner photos with punchier colours and less out of focus things if they are moving
I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 - it's pretty old but is just fantastic. I love it. The fingerprint feature is starting to play up though so thought I might look out for a new phone and have decided to go for a Pixel.
First, I was surprised and annoyed to find headphones jacks have vanished. I love my wired Bose noise-cancelling headphones. They work fine, I'm not replacing them and I don't want earbuds. So this feels like a scam for ppl to buy (easy to lose) earbuds tbh. I have normal woman-sized hands so I don't what a mahoosive phone plus, I always put my phone in a case.
All these phone features are quite superfluous, really. I just want a pretty good camera (cos if I was serious about taking photos I'd just buy a camera), a mic jack, relatively fast charging and to surf the web. I don't watch videos or play games on my phone and I'm not looking to go swimming with it. It's annoying that the features I want are disappearing and they're adding all sorts of nonsense that I really don't care about to make a giant-ass piece of expensive equipment.
Some phones cost more than my freakin' laptop! So yeah, phones nowadays seem to be massive, expensive and yet worse than ever. My first Nokia probably still has some charge left in it haha!
Bought the 6 13 days ago, coming from the 4a. The 6 is big and chunky, and I have big hands, gets hot on regular use, wireless charging does not charge the phone, putting this phone in the front pocket is uncomfortable, I am giving it back and going with the 6a or S22
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for the pixel 7 and 7 pro being good. The screen puts me off of the 6a, and the charging speeds of the entire family really isn't great. After my OnePlus 7 Pro being destroyed by software updates, I really just want a fast charging phone (65w or more), that has decent performance (Snapdragon 870 territory or better) and software that doesn't glitch. Seems like a fairly small ask on paper, but it seems like you have to spend €1000 to get that now.
Watched on my Pixel 6. Excellent video! I wish they had these prices in the states when I got my pixel. The 6a would have been tempting if it had come out when my 6 was available. It would work better as an option for my budget.
If the Pixel 6a have SD card slot, I would have bought one already.
My Cats burst the paddling pool every summer and drink out of it also!!!
60 hz is unacceptable in this day and age....even cheaper phones support 120hz these days. But it ain't half bad...almost as good as your Boris Johnson joke hahahahaha....still laughing lol I think your videos are the most enjoyable.......keep it up. Nothing pervy there lol
Attending many sporting events, I find the zoom on my pixel 2xl less than impressive... That's the main reason I'm drawn to the Pro... But I think the 6 is a better match, overall for my needs... Can't decide. Guess I'll wait until the 7 comes out and decide then.
@@gamerrage3558 short answer, I have! Still using the 2XL. Long answer... I just don't see the value in spending money on a new phone when this one still works just fine. Now I'll wait to see if the 8/8 Pro are a significant upgrade, and how this phone is doing at that point. Really the only thing I can see changing with getting a new phone is a better zoom camera and the ability to deposit checks once or twice a year through my credit union's app, which I currently don't do because of no security updates. But it does literally everything else I need it to do, so, I'll save my money.
What are you considering?
would pick the standard 6 for the 30W charging
Would it have been such a problem to atleast put 90hz in 6a?
If the pixel 6a had the 120 Hz would have been my phone for sure
Battery would be 🗑️

thanks for the comparison, now I decide to get the 6a (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و

Hey Tech Spurt, I have a samsung A52S 5G and i want to upgrade but nothing seems worth it, any suggestions?
It would be cool if you could make some videos for each phone out at the moment what we should upgrade to, thanks
Pixel 6a or 6 better than a52s 👍

So if I am running really intensive apps for my business, Company Cam for instance, is the Pro worth it. That app particularly seems to crash a lot on my Pixel 5. It is slow enough now that it is effecting my sales calls, which is obviously bad. Thanks in advance for any answers!
why always sey anime girl

Pixel 6a vs Samsung S22 camera comparison
I've had my pixel 6 for about a week now with a thick screen protector on it and not had 1 issue yet with the fingerprint reader. Maybe it's an individual thing with types of fingerprint or how well you cover your entire print when doing the setup scans.
Nice!
Could you tell me where you get your anime wallpapers from??
Yup, wall.alphacoders.com ;)

Jumping from Samsung S9 to Pixel 6 here in India (no warranty for me ofc sadly). Hope it is worth the risk !
I personally think you should get the Pixel 6. It is the perfect balance of both
I've owned the Pixel 3a XL since it launched but the charging point is now starting to fail unfortunately! So I bought a 6 Pro about 3 weeks ago from the Google store - absolute pile of junk ... screen constantly freezes up, WiFi connection very intermittent, calls drop, no 4g service at all at work, camera white screens constantly... I have never had any of these issues on the 3a XL. The only good points were the 4x zoom and the under screen fingerprint sensor worked well.
Incredibly disappointed with it, so returned to Google. I will wait till my 3a XL properly dies and then move to the dark side (iPhone 13 Pro) - I've always been an Android user but if this is the sort of junk Google produce now, they've lost me as a buyer
My pixel 6 pro doesn't have any of those problems. It's just too big and heavy for me since it turns out I really like to use phones with one hand, and it gets hot, but I live in a hot climate.
you will feel stupid after buying it, as i do , buy anything , a cheap one will do better, I hate it, i got google pixel 1 and i fell in love with it, so i thought google 6 pro omg it most be amazing , big mistake, i can honestly say is the worst phone i have ever had, so bad it made me love my old samsung phone ,so i said since i expend all this money in this trash I will use it to play music while i play, but no , this trash keeps stopping my music and it keeps tryint to snich , yes I HATE IT.
Guys honestly don't bother buying the 6. It's so slow and unresponsive, finger print sucks, connections also suck with Bluetooth. My pixel 2 work's better, regret buying it. Wish I bought the Poko phone.
I'm using pixel 4a. I'm planning to update with pixel 6 or 6a. It's a perfect phone for photography as well as most elegant in this price segment. The only issue i have to face is that it overheats while having video calls. I just wanna know if any user who recently updated from 4 series to 6, is this problem is still there or not?
I know the 6a is midrange, but the lack of a 90/120hz screen is an inexcusable omission!
They playing the apple card
So glad you've made this video.
Basically the pixel 6a is for people who like a smaller phone. The most important things are in place it's water resistant great cameras and they are using the same processor. If you like smaller phones get the 6a, if you like bigger phones get the 6 or 6 pro. Great video.
Hmm.. which phone is good for the game, “just the tip”?
ty for ur tests, that helps me so much to choose a phone
What did u choice?
WHat phone did you choose?
Hi, I like your channel, I've been watching it for around half an year while looking for the phone to buy. I've bought oneplus nord 2 and I'd really like to see comparison between this and pixel 6a. I've bought nord 2 for over 2x cheaper on amazon day and I wonder if that was a better purchase.
Very nice review! I like the pure Android experience a lot. It also looks elegant and premium. The camera are an enjoyment to have always with you. Only loading takes a lot time but the battery endurance is good enough. No need to get the Ultras of these days. This phone is perfect for every day use and has all I need in a phone!
Google called me a twat
i've got the 6 pro, which i love but fancied a smaller phone for day to day use so pre-ordered the 6a. Looking forward to using it. Looks an awesome phone. PS The fingerprint scanner on the 6 pro works perfectly. As good as the S22 Ultra I had for a while.
Bro you need to slide those wallpapers
Please do a comparison with the Nothing Phone!
Hahaha, your comments crack me up. ... huffs and puffs like Boris Johnson when he is not trying to tell a lie?!!! ROFL
I'm currently routing for the 6a for the lack of money. Its camera better be better than the one on my Note 8 because so far the Huawei P30pro lost the comparison. Let's see. Thanks for the video, loved your presentation.
I'm rocking the Pixel 6 it's a great device 👍🏾
Glad you're enjoying, I definitely prefer the smaller design to the massive Pro
I'm upgrading from the 4a to the 6a because of the $300 trade in which is absolutely unheard of!
Exactly. Just upgraded my son's 3a to 6a and still got 300 trade in for 3a
I just came here to ask what happened to the doll.
I have Google pixel 6 pro and I like it, just saying I need more space for photos summit about Google one or Google drive, I'm not a tech person so I have no idea when the phone should have lost off space I think it's summit about my Google account 🤷🏼♂️
