Google Pixel 6a Review: Not What I Expected!
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 08. 2022
- The Pixel 6a’s price makes it very very attractive. Google’s literally giving us the exact same flagship chip you’d find in the more expensive Pixel 6 & 6 Pro. But with that lower price, you know there’s going to be compromises. There always is. This is my review of the Google Pixel 6a.

Being waiting for ur review before I buy, when?
Hey @thao you made a video about how you manage to easily use android and iOS together or it was in a segment of a video what was the title of the video😭😭 please I really need it
I was waiting for fold 4 review but couldn't wait so I pre-ordered lol
voting for flip 4 review ! 😉
With a newborn, I'm a little behind but working on getting reviews out asap
Many tech reviewers complained about this phone being 60hz but didn't say anything about the iPhone 14 being 60hz and still having a notch in 2022 which starts at $800 in the us or $1000 in Europe.
So true. It's not even that big of a deal for a phone that is 449 usd (now its available for even less)
This is because these features have become the bare minimum on Android while Apple is known to delay bringing features that seem basic on Android hence little to no fuzz that apple's $1000+ phone doesn't have 60hz screen
Yes but, Iphone 14 has better bat... never mind...
Meanwhile iPhones cost apple 10 dollars to make lmao
My one reason for loving pixel phones are all the subtle details that Google just gets right. The at a glance widget which displays extremely useful info based on my schedule, now playing, real time translation in text apps. Also welcome back Thao! ❤️
Yup, they've really created a unique experience
Don't forget call screening! That call screening comes in handy when those spam calls pop up.
So good to see you back and congrats!!
Thanks a bunch Danny! Glad to be back ☺️
I have to say I like how you keep your comments real, I also like how your examples are real world performances and you do not give benchmarks which the average person could care less about. Keep them 100
I hope more manufacturers start to move away from glass backs.
I know, it insures that you have to use a case unless you are an expert juggler.
Welcome back! I really enjoy your reviews. Thank you so much for not focusing just on the refresh rate. This 6a in my opinion is a lot of phone for $450 or less if you are able to take advantage of Googles trade in deal. Also, the camera is still really quite good.
Do you know if Air Pod Pro's will work on the Pixel 6a as it does on my Flip 3? Thank you advance.
@@greetingsearthlingspluto6666 Yes it will. Bluetooth is standardised so you should encouter no problem with the Pixel 6a.
Congrats on the baby and I enjoyed the review! I have the regular Pixel 6 and still watch Pixel reviews to interact with the community. This phone is definitely a keeper and I'm lucky to never have had problems on my 6 like others. I just upgraded to Android 13 and getting less than stellar battery life but it needs to adapt to my usage again. That'll take what? A week or two? Again, great video!
We were waiting for your reviews for a long time. Feel good when you are back 👍
Just brought this is a black Friday deal at £299 unbelievable value at that price!
Excellent honest review, it is great seeing your reviews and opinions. Congratulations on your new baby.
It's nice to see phones at the price that are pretty decent. Not everyone can or want to spend 1000$+ on a high end model. I find that in Canada the offerings in the mid tier category is somewhat limited. Most carrier will offer a plethora of high end devices, a few low budget phones but no much in between. Phones like this one or the A-53 are needed more than ever.
A great and well articulated review. I am looking to upgrade from my Huawei P30 Pro which btw has been a fantastic phone especially for photography but alas it is running its course. I like the 6a in particular over the Pixel 6s but waiting to see what the Pixel will offer. Hard to decide betwern the 6a, the eventual 7 and the Samsung S21 FE. Love your presentations 👍
Got it this week and I am blown away by it, coming from a Huawei P10 Plus from 2017. Thanks for the tips with the app switcher and double tap on the back.
No lie, your review got me wanting to pic up a google phone just to explore the features and the camera. Always making great content Thao Thank you 🙏🏾
60Hz is definitely acceptable still. The difference is minimal, most you'd have to show them side by side.
No it is not, you're tripping if you don't clearly see the difference between 120Hz and 60Hz 🤷🏽♂
I wouldn’t say it’s a minimal difference. It’s absolutely noticeable, and difficult to go back to 60hz, once you experience 90 and 120 refresh rates. If one has never experienced it, then it’s all good. 60 been around for a long time, so one is not missing anything they never had.
@@flaviomulatojerkin 😆🎯
@@flaviomulatojerkin Between 60 and 120? Yes, there's a noticeable difference. But between 60 and 90 (like the flagship version that this phone is the cheaper one of)? Not so much.
@@flaviomulatojerkin in a $450 phone i really don't think it matters. I have a 13 Pro with 120hz and a 144hz monitor i use for my PC but high refresh rate isn't a deal breaker. My M1 MacBook Air is still at 60HZ but still feels fluid.
Congratulations!! Great video!
Congrats on your newborn Thao!!! Such a blessing!!!
I've already ordered the Fold 4 but would really like to see a review from you, many thanks!
Great review! Congratulations 🎊 👏🏿 💐
Hey Thao congrats on your new bundle of love!! So glad you’re back!
best 6a review. you're the first reviewer I've seen mention the fingerprint & ui haptics. thank you :)
Firstly.. congratulations on your new baby!! Awesome!! All the best! Thank you for another great tech video..
Always great to see your reviews and enjoy your information with your sense of humor and one of the best things about the pixel phones is they don't have any shutter lag ...Samsung phones they take great pictures but they always hesitate it seems like so you can never get your kids or the cats or anything moving without it being a little blurry.
Great honest review 👍🏾
Love your videos Thao, currently looking for a new phone always had samsung but i want something different now but google still doesnt really amaze me... id like an iphone but not as long they come with lightning gladly the EU forces apple to change that in the future yaaay :) the xiaomi 12s ultra would have been awesome but its china only.....maybe i go back to landline idk... xD
Thao, congratulations on your new baby! Blessings!! Just so you know, I'm a voracious CZcams consumer and I ALWAYS look forward to your reviews. I appreciate the quality content you produce!
Congratulations on your new baby! 🙏🎊Stay blessed and keep the great videos coming!
Blessings to you and your new family. Also, good video 🙏🏾
Your videos are always amazing. Keep up!
THANK YOU so much for talking about the haptics. Many creators don't talk about them. Much appreciated
Thank you Thao for a great review and welcome back
Thank you for all the tips and tricks - I wasn’t aware of most of them. I grabbed one for £280 as a back up to my 14 pro max and guess what, I’m selling the pro max! When you compare a mid range budget to a high end flagship, you realise you’ve been foolish and just a flexer. Gorgeous baby and glad you’ve found the time to put this review together.
❤
looking to upgrade from the pixel 3 soon so debating between 6a and the pixel 5. i like smaller phones. I thought about the regular 6 but it looks soo big and heavy and i don't really care about 90 htz refresh and wirelesss charging, theyre just extra icing on the cake for me. nice review, congrats being a mom
Excelent review Thao..... Ren's photos is a best part... so cute. Congratulations !!!
🎉🎉🎉👩🍼 Congrats!!! Watching from my Chalk Pixel 6a! Getting this phone for $150 with a free set of Pixel Buds A with the $300 trade-in was a steal of a deal. Great phone and FP reader and the heat are better on A13.
$300 off? Which phone did you trade-in with? That's a really good steal deal!
I love that you spoke about the haptics. I love that subtle detail - which I miss on other phones. Facts, some people could probably care less but it really is a nice touch and satisfying
Thao, congratulations to you and your hubby on the birth of your child; a beautiful, healthy looking baby. The miracle gift of a child is a wondrous, constantly unfolding adventure. All the best to you and your family as you experience your bundle of joy.
Thank you! I appreciate it ❤
@@Thao my pleasure.
@@Thao congratulations thao 🥰💗 I'm literally dying waiting for your videos 😅
Great video Thao! Congrats on the baby!! 🙂
buyed mines yesterday ♡ from Walmart its in black ♡ I agree thing you said on this video
Great Review. You didn't review it based on flagship phones. You understood the audience for this sort of phone and reviewed it accordingly. I can afford flag ship prices but I don't want to spend all that. I love this phone It's not perfect but I find even the more expensive phones aren't perfect either. Well done!
Indeed, there's no point in comparing mid-range with flagship. Same for me, but I prefer buying old flagships than recent mid-range, I don't mind using used phones and feel that the price-ratio is better.
Welcome back Thao 😘♥️🤗and congrats 🤗😘on your bundle of joy ♥️❤️😘🤗
Hi Thao, how are you? I have been using the Pixel A for a few days, and I must say, it is a fantastic phone. For my usage and budget, it was the perfect choice for me. I even bought the Pixel A for my parents; they love it.
Welcome back Thai + congrats again! Always love hearing your thoughts 🖤 Thanks for featuring Cyrill!
@Thao, you are one very underrated CZcams Tech Reviewers.
I love your videos, your reviews are always based on normal consumer not nitpicking enthusias.
Great Video! I'm considering this until the S23! even some of the low light photos look good!
I got my 6a a few days ago and so far I love it!
i always love watching your videos
I've dropped my P6 and P6Pro without cases or screen protector (Pro only), I've gotten some scuffs but no cracks whatsoever. So I can imagine the plastic can hold up against a drop or two. Anyway another great video thao.
Yea, but Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have Invictus screens, and, I believe, Gorilla Glass 5 backs. The 6a has a Gorilla Glass 3 screen, so a case and screen protector might be more in order.
Google is learning from the previous releases, looking forward for 7 series ♥
Congrats mama!! Loved the photos! Your baby is so cute!! ❤️
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BABY 💝 … also one of the best reviews on the Pixel 6a!
Thanks a ton!
Thanks for a well rounded review Thao! I have a Pixel 4a right now that I've been using for almost two years right now and I'm considering taking advantage of the trade in offer right now but I've been a little unsure. I'm thinking about picking it up!
Don't waste any more time and get the 6A before that deal goes away. Personally I came from the 4A and I got the 6. After all the updates, these phones are amazing!
@@TaureanSmoke agreed. The $300 tradein is too sweet to pass up. $150 for a new excellent phone is great deal
I had a 4a and it was my favorite phone ever. I jumped on the trade in deal. $300 for the 4a and a pair of $99 ear buds thrown in was too good to pass up. The 6a was basically $50.
Great review, thank you! I am a week into my Pixel 6a and am very happy with it. I picked it up for $299 right after the Pixel 7 launch and for that price...I am ecstatic about this phone, what a value. Your baby is beautiful by the way, what a cutie.
Is it your new born baby 😍😍😍
So cute♥️♥️♥️♥️😘😘😘
I’m coming to you first when the 7 comes out! Ahhh I wasn’t even aware until now, how exciting!
Congratulations on your newborn baby, you are looking great. I'm happy you are back. Enjoy your contents and thank you for sharing.
Great video as always congratulations with your baby 🙏 what do you think about pixel 6a vs pixel6 ?
Great video! And CONGRATULATIONS!!!🎊 👶
I m already using Pixel 6a, it's an awesome phone and thanks for review Thao Huynh. I would like to know about that widget on top left corner of screen.
Thanks for doing this video ♡
Thanks Thao for the review. This looks like a nice secondary phone to have.
Love your videos Thao. What's that keyboard on your desk?
Logitech Craft
Congratulations Thao! 🥳
Congratulations! 🎉
Thanks for your review! I just ordered one
Excellent review 👍
Great review 👌🏼
Eyyyy, Congrats on having a baby. I wish you and your family all the best. 💙
Hey Thao Can you please give the Wallpaper link!
Great Review Btw 👍🤠 & Congratulations for your baby!
Congratulations, baby is finally here! It would feel weird asking, thanks for announcing.....prior to getting a used note 20ultra 5g, I was shopping the big makers. Apple, Samsung, Oneplus, Pixel, Motorola. As for the most useful, creative, interesting features PIXEL 6 pro , had some " picture edit- erase" feature. Plus other advantages. But their " big brother watching" just seemed , at face value " creepy " and potentially invasive excessively. " Bang for buck" and getting the last NOTE won . Treat MOM right she's the best babysitter !
Congratulations on you're baby. Thanks for the video. I kinda like the pixel phone. Will think about it to buy 1
chào Thảo , đã lâu kh thấy xuất hiện . Bài đánh giá pixel 6a rất ấn tượng , cảm ơn và chúc Thao Huynh sẽ phát triển kênh thật tốt .
Ordered one from ebay yesterday so looking forward to using it
Another great review
2:14 I see fellow Poweramp user! Love it!
Thanks a lot, dear Thao for the informative video about Google Pixel 6a. I bought this phone last week and I am very satisfied with its speed and battery length. I have tested two times and the battery stays from 2 to 3 days. 🌸🌺🌸🌿
Your channel is good , and this phone is better ,Thank Thao you for your beautiful and elegant content
Great review.
Props to you for using Poweramp!!
Plz make camera comparison video we love your clicks 🤟
Hi! Thanks for the review. I just can't copy CZcams comments in my Pixel 6a. Is it something you need to configure?
Hi and congratulations on your new Pixel 6a phone.... you're absolutely right, this is an amazing phone and if you don't need anything else except a competent phone.... yes, buy it....
I almost did.....OK, so, I'm coming from a Pixel 4 XL... and the thing I couldn't deal with on this was the lack of a telefoto lens.... even my old Pixel 4 XL had a 2 times optical zoom..... and Google was going to offer me $300 to trade my Pixel making this Pixel 6a... only $149... I was very tempted....
But, in the end, I opted for the Pixel 6 Pro... the 48 megapixel four times optical zoom... just lured me into that model....
BUT, if you want to just make calls, surf and do everything else, get the Pixel 6 a ... it's a great deal and it has 5 years of updates... my Pixel 6 Pro will only have four more years......
I just got a Google pixel 6a and so far I am pretty impressed by it , I've always had larger phones and this phone fits so much better in my hands and I love the light weight it has as well, super cool little phone , you taught me some features I didn't even know it had yet 😂
WELCOME BACK THAO! 🥳
Welcome back Thao, we missed you! And look at that adorable little angel! Congrats, I know you and your husband are so proud (and likely sleep deprived lol)!
Very good review..You covered almost all aspects of the phone. Also,Congratulations on your motherhood. 👨👩👦
Hi Thao,
Congratulations for your newborn baby girl.
🙂👍
Amazing video 😍😍
Hello Thao! First congratulations on the birth of your little girl. Great review of the pixel 6a
I don't have a Google Pixel, but I have on Xiaomi custom pixel rom with modified gcam and looks very similar
I like the simplicity and speed of the system :=)
Really good video
Hey Thao . I m from India and I love ur videos . I am a teacher and to prepare notes which tab should I go for samsung tab s7 plus or tab s8 ultra .
Ok, I shouldn't have had to learn about the drag-and-drop from the app switcher in this video. I've been downloading and sharing pics from social media for months on my Pixel 6 Pro!
Awe!! Congratulations on your daughter Thao!!
Can't wait for your Samsung z fold 4 and flip 4 vid
I never noticed the slight haptics until you pointed it out
Be careful with chargers for this phone.... The one I used from my previous phone made the phone get extremely hot.
So I had to swap back to a 5w charger to keep it cool, then I got the Google charger few days ago and it's working great!
That's good to know!
Thanks for the tip.
à quel point vous êtes heureux avec la batterie est un désastre vivant pour moi
?? j'ai acheter il y a 5 journée
Might as well be proprietary charging like OP does with SuperVooc what use to be Warp.
I the same
New here. Damn that review tho 💖💖💖💖
Congratulations on your newborn!
