I had this phone, and i swear i sold it off in 9 months after suffering from horrible battery life which wouldnt even last full day on moderate use (not getting even 5 hours of OST when 2 sims are inserted). And when mobile data is connected instead of wifi - it gives screen on time of like 4 hours total maximum. And charging takes 1.5 hours ---> 1.5 hours charging and 4 hours discharging - this is horrible charge/discharge time ratio. Right now i am on S21 fe 5g Snapdragon 888 version - and this one has much better battery life include much better standby battery !

This is my first and last Google phone. Updated to Android 16 yesterday and the battery life on my Pixel 6a just tanked. Found out on another site that there is now a software limiter on the 6a battery. This is the text from Google:
“A subset of Pixel 6a phones will require a mandatory software update to reduce the risk of potential battery overheating. The update will enable battery management features that will reduce capacity and charging performance after the battery reaches 400 charge cycles. We’ll contact impacted customers next month, with all the information they need to address the issue.”
Google I'm done with your garbage phones, don't care how good your cameras are enough is enough.

Amazing lightweight and handy phone. Low cost with many good features. Amazingly Great camera that is able to compete flagship iPhone pro max and Samsung s ultras. Battery is great, one charge pretty much enough for most of the day. 60 Hz refresh rate doesn't feel like 60 but 120 Hz. Overall, a Great phone for camera lover audience

I am using Pixel 6A, it is a great phone, it is much better than the phones that cost 100,000 in today's era, the camera, battery, display, and especially the vibrate motor are amazing, I don't play games so I don't know how the game works, you can close your eyes and buy it even in 2025

it's exhoshyt process, even worse with googoo tensoshyt added onto that.
it drains even doing nothing, heat, stutter. those were some of the worse proc. zamzung trying to keep up in benchmarks and pushing its proc beyond their range.
i'd add, tons of spyshyte. it spys, suk your 5g, use your phone battery to index shytesutff to googoo. also lot of bugs (e.g some part of UI out of screen...). and most of those are hidden packages/processes and can't be disabled.
I read many beleives it's 'clean' android. having no icons of apps doesn't mean it's clean at all. it's full of googo suite (tons of background packages process and some even kernel hardcoded and basic apps like text are not very good at all and some even require to login without any justification other than googo makes money with your data on your back).
reviewers don't know what they are talking about - or get paid or some interest for it.
so beware of battery and OS.
otherwise cheapo, can be found used for very cheap now. quite lightweignt, basic but ok design, good pictures, and supposed to be easly rooted (I didin't try, i sent it back in that time because of battery and googoo shytware and battery drain issue)

Many people have been asking about the battery life of the Pixel 6a, as well as overheating issues.
From 100% I have screen usage time of 1 hr 45 min and battery percentage is now showing 58%. Battery usage consists of calls, chrome browser, checking mail and mobile hotspot. The phone is set to 4G only, 5G is off, and little to no gaming.
The back of the phone gets hot during long calls and especially during mobile hotspot sessions, guessing the modem. Of course as the weather gets warmer the heating issue gets much worse. My previous Samsung A52 5G and Moto G Fast were used in the same way but they never got this hot. Yes it's a good deal from $100 to $200 considering its getting updates till July 2027. Great cameras and compact, just be aware of its flaws.
