Review Google Pixel 6a review: The camera phone to get for less than $500

[admin]

There's stepped up competition for the best bargain phone, thanks to the iPhone SE and Galaxy A53. But the Google Pixel 6a tops both, thanks to its great photo features and a new Tensor chipset.

They removed the headphone jack. That makes the 5a a better phone since the 6a and 5a are essentially the same in hardware other than the Tensor chip.

I was going to preorder a 6a, get $300 for my 5a, but I use the HP jack a lot on my 5a and would miss it. I backed out of the preorder.

Having a battery life shorter than about 9 hours is an absolute dealbreaker.

ended up preordering 3 of them. i hope im not making a mistake, but if these phones suck, this will be the last time i buy a pixel phone. i've been on google's phones since the google nexus, so don't screw this up google.

I think these reviews are bogus. Just received my 6A and am very disappointed. Fingerprint reader doesn't work most times, phone is laggy right out of the box (main reason I'm replacing my old phone). Screen scrolling is extremely choppy.. Almost as bad as my 1.75 yr. Old Moto G. Camera slow to snap picture. Paid $314, new and will probably return and try a Samsung A53. Had Pixel 3A, screen broke, then $200 Moto G (2021). Used "Magic Eraser" once, lol, what a joke! Really wish reviewers would be more honest and critical. I used to like Tom's guide, but now... Not reliable info.

But because phone is laggy, the great camera will miss the shot!

What happens, when you use phone just for quick review and not long term, you give this phone a rating of 4/5
But, this phone is really bad. Do not buy this. It lags a lot, crashes a lot. It's ok, if you are 69 years old, and just want to call/text someone, but not for normal users
