This is the Google Pixel 6a, but it’s also NOT what I think many of us have come to expect..
See, we’ve known this Pixel “a” series as the company’s most successful lineup ever, but it’s also more of a nod to the past. Just like the early days of the Pixel, the Nexus also started as a premium offering, only for things to not pan out, and for the company to shift strategies with the Nexus 4 in creating the world’s first flagship killer.
In sort-of the same approach, the Pixel 3a was a genius move. Instead of only focusing on one phone, you could choose between flagship and mid-ranger, with the benefit that great photography became a Pixel trait across the board. It was pretty irresistible at just $399, but then Google kept experimenting. Over the next two years we saw all Pixels tip completely to become mid-rangers, but then this year, it seems the formula is now to go hard on defying the establishment.
So sure, even if the Pixel 6a is a successor to every “a” variant we’ve seen before, it’s different because it’s not really a mid-ranger, and sure, I wouldn’t call it a flagship either. At a time when most heroes have lived long enough to become the villain, this phone is something else. I’m Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow and let’s dive into our full review.

H A A I M E R I V E R A ! Legit mobile reviews here. Always been a delight coming to this place..Since my Lg v10 days!
I'm on the Android 14 beta it made this little phone fly
Android 13 Update Fixes Most if not all problems – May 2023 !
Its a 340 us dollars in my country Bulgaria 🙂
Finally a review in REAL ENGLISH. If you know what I mean…
Picked one up for 300. Best deal.
Watching on my 6a. What a beautiful device. I just love it. 🥰
Flagship killer yes especially for $300
Great phone so far coming from 3a looking forward to the 9a. Screen is fine btw.
Dang, the video recorded on the 6a is more than ok enough for social media posting. I'd even argue that you could get some pretty good home videos with this camera too. We have to keep things in perspective too, this is a phone. A phone that was consistently priced at $299 all through the holiday season. I've recorded some family videos with this phone over the holidays, and it's perfectly fine for sharing with family over YouTube.
much noises in video. bad phone
The fingerprint scanner sucks!
Coming from Ip11 to P6A,never regret it…I am super happy with 6A and planning to keep it many years
Mid range phones will always be far more interesting than flagships to me
The Pixel 6a is so affordable right now I've been thinking of switching my OP Nord 2 for it. Should I do it?
Traded in my 4a 5G for this cuz it was a really good deal at the time, so far it's great but I definitely miss the headphone jack the most 😮💨😮💨😮💨. Was worried about the fp scanner but I actually like it and the metal rails feel nice and cold😎.

The way you say your name confuses listeners as you say in Spanish sounding tone.
I'm using the 6a great phone nothing missing on it that makes me think I need a 6 or 6 pro and for the money it's great value
