My Pixel 6a's screen cracked after it fell from just 2.5 feet. I have had my 6 year old OnePlus 5t fall that way many times without a scratch. This is definitely poor build quality. Now the worst part was that when I tried to get my phone repaired I only found one service center in my state and that too of a multibrand service center where I ended up paying 850 for couriering the phone to another city to get it repaired, after waiting for over an hour. I live in Hyderabad, now if you guys can't afford to have a service center that actually works in Hyderabad just quit selling phones, period! Not just that, while the claim is that this phone is water proof, you cannot take it easy when water splashes on it. Also while I bought this phone considering it was 5g Google kept us waiting for 5g for a really long time without any proper communication.
The only thing that is good about this phone is the camera, but Pixel is my worst phone ever. I am back on my OnePlus 5t for the next month or so. And I am told I might have to shell out almost half the price of the phone to get the screen replaced.

Agree with those who are (very) critical of the 6a. Besides higher network speeds that I never use, almost everything about it is worse than older phones I've had in the same price range. Tensor is terrible in efficiency and performance, with terrible battery life in deep standby and even worse with light screen-on use along with running much hotter. Its 'AI' gimmicks are almost never used for most and it should've never been released.
Performance/battery aside, I legitimately think the 6a is worse in almost every regard from my Pixel 3a. The Camera is AWFUL; focus/colors/exposure/flash are so badly implemented that it's a struggle to take reference pictures of smaller details like electronic PCBs. It's either glare from poor flash/exposure programming or completely washed out contrast/saturation that looks like a sepia filter making it impossible to make out printed text and details. My Pixel 3a never had these issues and my even older LG V20 took photos far better still. My Google Nexus 5 STILL took better pictures than the 6a. The settings are so dumbed down and basic that they can hardly be corrected.
Lastly, the case/form is annoying/uncomfortable with the bar protrusion on the back and is generally awkward to use compared to the 3a and others. The OS layout and UI is terrible compared to most other phone brands, with obfuscated and unintuitive settings and options. Google is CONSTANTLY adding and updating endless 'features' from apps to individual system packages that only make the OS and useability worse.
I barely use my phones expect to take pictures, so I could overlook how terrible everything else about the 6a is, but the Camera's software makes me seriously consider going back to my 3a and possibly just abandoning Android/Google alltogether in the future for an entry-level iPhone despite hating Apple and iOS. You will quickly regret getting this phone after the initial dopamine of buying something new.

Honestly i think this is your first pixel phone and im assuming you had a digital camera before owning a phone. If you wanted great results get a expensive camera. Because no smart phone camera is good than a actual real camera.

teemus, 31 Aug 2023What is the problem with photos could you please detail.Low res, overprocessed, high contrast, blunt colours. On the other hand, they're impressively natural and every snap is guaranteed to produce consistently good results. Night mode is also very impressive for the age of the sensor.

I have this phone as a backup for my Pixel 6. I mostly use it when charging my 6.I like to control my Android TV and cast with it. I usually take it on walks with my dog. I wish I had bought the 6a first. The 6a was going to be a gift for my Dad but I gave him a Motorola G power 2021 instead. He is very rough on phones and the 6a doesn't feel really rugged. I use to switch between phones all the time. Now phones are very boring. The only thing I do now is change the case of the phone. My phone at my job is a 6a. The higher ups use them. My co workers call them iPhones because it's so plain. I wanted to get a 7 pro but I can't find a good reason to leave my current phones. It's like going from a 13 to a 14 pro max. There is not much difference in the jump other than screen size.
