There is not one but too many flaws with the phone like display has grown some horizontal and vertical lines, when positioned against direct sun light a sim card like image pops up right at fingerprint scanner area, WhatsApp status of people play with dark screen, a white ray of light in some pictures, notification bar some times freezes in the middle of the display and ofcourse fingerprint scanner never worked in single touch as well and etc.
Light bulb 💡
My pixel 3 runs just fine. Love the design, wireless charging and stable performance. Probably gonna hold onto it till 7a launches next year
Just bought mine a couple of weeks ago at 290£ and I can't really complain 👍🏻
2:00 is that arogya setu

💡Nice review
💡 looking to upgrade from my OnePlus 8 pro and I'm thinking the Pixel 6 or 7 could be it, especially for the price.
What wallpaper app you are using?
Please reply
(Got in the description, thank you!)
How did we get that calendar and time wallpaper ?
Almost bought this phone but opted for the Nothing Phone instead. Pixel 6a is a great phone tho. It's the lack of high refresh rate, average battery, lack of wireless charging that made me switch to the Nothing Phone. Also the 6a seemed to run warm for no apparent reason but gosh darn it that camera is backed by excellent software.
6 months with the 6a here, I hate how the Google assistant doesn't give an audio prompt. (Yes I've contacted support many times), and my speakerphone cuts out intermittently. Poor audio quality, and my service drops throughout the day even though I live next to a 5g tower. I wouldn't buy the 6a…
This phone came out at a starting price of $450.00 directly competing against the A53 and 2022 SE it's flaws don't get a pass from me.
Overheating while multitasking isn't acceptable especially when there's Chinese phones like 1+ that do multitasking with ease.🙄🙄🙄
"fingerprint scanner is not the greatest"
touches it for a fraction of a second and it unlocks the phone immediately every time without issue
What app is that @ 2:52
You're better off getting the Google 6 Pixel and in Google pixel 6 Pro the has gone down in price is a steal, Amazon , Swappa, Mercari, Back market, eBay, Best Buy, Walmart website, Target, Costco, 💡
I have been seeing comments about signal issues in 6a. Can someone please confirm what is happening? Like are there defective units?
💡 loving the 6a but living in the Caribbean the affordability gets thrown out the window.
Here in the UK, £260 for an open box seems excellent value, so it is hard to rule it out, as we now see price reflect demand, and the true value comes to light. It was too expensive at launch, so it dropped in price quickly. The #teampixel crew promoting it at the list price was wrong, but it can be recommended to shortlists after six months, with the inevitable price drops.
No way I can dump on the 6a at its current pricing, so a bit of a bargain, though with the caveat that other mid-range phones are also lower in price at the end of 2022.

I have the phone and i do use Tapet. The phone has been a breeze for me. I always installed a custom ROM on my phones to install barebones and stock android. This time I got the phone with "stock" android the way google meant to be and it has been a great experience overall.
I bought my son a Pixel 6a to replace his 4a and he's had nothing but problems with it. Freezes and shuts off randomly. His 4a was great and I only upgraded because of the Black Friday deals with trade in… I ended up just getting the Pixel 7 Pro and giving him my Pixel 6 Pro…
Okay I am upgrading from my 2xl to this 6A. I dont need higher refresh rate or anything new. At this price point, it almost meets all of my needs.
💡
💡 watching on 6a. It's good for me. It's can last until the end of the day and smooth UI.
💡
I have had mine since launch and it has been good overall. Great battery, reliable camera, good performance. The only things that bother me are the weaker cell signal and how it will randomly get warm for no apparent reason. I'll be interested to see what the pixel 7a offers next year.
💡been using the 6a since the past 3 months and I have to say it's my favourite smartphone of this year just after the S22 Ultra.
Adding a few bucks nothing phone 1 seems to be a best options and has all the features pixel is missing

💡 thanks for the comprehensive review and recommendation
The video triggered my Google assistant
💡
keep smashing it zach, 💡
💡I got one of my family members to get this phone a few weeks ago! We will probably unbox it tomorrow!!
Orbia if you search the game
Got mines about two weeks ago. Coming from a A02s. Was looking around and this was the best for the price at the time which was around $389 or so. Proforms well, live in the Caribbean and works well here.
