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.

      My device is currently on Android 16 beta. Perhaps you could update the android updates to include Android 16 too from just 15...

                  i want to buy this phone but my only concern is the battery, how long it last?

                    Anyone else have some weird glitch with the latest update that it just WONT install? I reset the phone 4 times and still the latest update won't install and keeps reminding me that it couldn't install...?

                      Same year..... using 2+ years with full day battery backup

                        were you using a screen protector and a case?

                          Front glass scratch really easily and it's the first one I cracked from a waist high fall on pavement.

                            Florinso, 14 Jan 2025Do you have call forwarding option in settings? I don't. I believe that if your operator doesn't support it, it won't show in settings.

                              Why does it have only dual-band under wifi? The 6a supports 6ghz frequencies

                                Only complaint is battery, shame on Google, can't make it happen. Even cheap Chinese brands can optimize their battery although with full of bloatwares

                                  Do you have call forwarding option in settings? I don't.
