7 months user, used all of the settings suggestions from internet, network issue and battery life is just the worst, everything else is ok. Not touching pixel ever again. Switched to A54.

Updated my 6a to Android 14 and this make me throw this phone away....from a gem to a junk...bataery drainage become crazy (50% over night) if I turned on the alarm clock. And it become a warm bag whenever you put it in your pocket. What a junk update, I used it with Android 13 for over a year and this never happend. What a shame for google team.

I have had nothing but issues with Pixel 6A stuck with it now can't afford a new phone. Does not let me do anything does not play nice with my other devices. Most often doesn't notify me of income message or call. Won't recommend it to anyone.

Only because of GrapheneOS buys Pixel devices. I had 5a died suddenly, unexpectedly, without any signs beforehand. I lost a lot of data. I bought 7 is big, bulky poorly made. After a few months started to have problems. No more of this mess. Time to buy a Sony.

Mike, 07 Sep 2023Agree with those who are (very) critical of the 6a. Besides... moreAre you really that surprised about Tensor? Its basically just an Exynos modified by Google and using Samsung Shannon modems.

to enjoy your pixel change your
1. stock wallpaper to any wallpaper you like. sometimes bug comes from stock wallpapers.
2. turn off features you don't intend to use. Mine I turned off my adaptive battery to off. minimize gestures, keyboard etc.
3. disable apps you don't need. It eats ram and storage space. minimalist approach.
4. I used pear launcher its almost the same as stock pixel launcher but not a battery hog.

Hello gsmarena.. Im a sammy user. First tried this google pixel 6a. Im from PH. I don't buy high end phones. I don't use apple. Mostly entry level and midrange android I use. They sell here pixel 6a. I don't know if it is brand new or refurbished. Taxes are high here. In America its 199 usd converted here its 300usd. When charging for the first time it gets hot. The screen and phone is hot but still I can hold it. When I was using Galaxy a51 same happens to me like pixel. So I tried to declutter the phone from its features. Change it to minimalist phone. Got myself a wallpaper and seems like pear launcher does its job from tuning the stock pixel launcher. Disabled stuffs I dom't intend to use. The camera of pixel 6a is the best for its price. 5g is disabled here. 4G is best in my country. I am not a heavy user. I just use it for camera, surfing, youtube, amazon prime because I have 360 days free with a purchase on my sim, Sms texting and calls. Haven't put on social media apps like fb, tiktok and instagram. I am still on learning mode. Pear launcher gives me good battery backup. Next time I would try Nova launcher for customization.

Unfortunately we the users "pay the bill", Google filled up the market with these "upgradeable" phones, Google has now the "melon and the knife"...
Why only the Google Pixel phones can receive upgrade to the last Android versions?
Because Google is manipulating the Market.
Every year we have to buy another device or we buy a Google Pixel.
"In the name of Security", yeah right, everything is for the Money...

AS Yashfy, 15 Oct 2023Did you buy in the usa ? If so how much did it cost pls kin... moreYes. I bought it for $170 plus activation fees & taxes at Metro by T-Mobile. Unfortunately Metro keeps their phones locked for 180 days (this includes OEM unlocking for the bootloader) so I'm a little disappointed, but for $170 I can't complain.

Google pixel 6a camera is good. But all are things are bad I am using pixel 6a from march 2023 from starting in this device there is heating and network issue. No support from google team. After that on 1 Oct device's screen goes to blank and service center refused to repair in warranty saying that the Display Replacement is not covered in warranty. I think if the display is not got physically damaged the company should replace it without any charge. But google not done it and the display coast is too high I am not going to be repaired on my money because I am not satisfied with google services. Guys if you are camera lover of course that is good device but the service is very bad. Go for another options, There are many options in market. Leave It.

Had this phone as back up for a Pixel 6. Gave it to my Mom because she kept saying she was running out of memory on her Galaxy A02s. I think she will like it I know we tried to get to use an iPhone 7 and she hated it. The 128 GB will be hard to fill up.
