Anonymous, 07 Aug 2022No SD card, audio jack, terrible Battery life no thanks. I never buy a phone with an SD card

You buy a phone with an SD card?

You're paying a Microsoft sales tax

I will never buy a phone with an SD card

    Zuzuz, 07 Aug 202212x from xiaomi destroy this phone at around same price. 1+... moreS21 FE actually destroys this phone in general now that it dropped in price around the cost of pixel 6a.

    S21FE has(that pixel doesnt)

    +120hz display
    +ip68
    +wireless charging
    +snap888(better overall than tensor)
    +better OS support. 4 major updates compared to pixels 3(the irony)
    +telephoto camera and better overall camera experience.
    +faster charging
    +Samsung ecosystem
    +available in all countries and not on select markets like pixel
    +samsung Dex

    Pixel 6a is nice especially for those that want stock android and a great out of the box camera(even better in US market where they dont have many options),but in most markets outside US, its a tough buy.

                  Tensor chip is really great for a mid ranger like pixel 6a but no so much for the last years flagships.

                  Also i am kind of disappointed with the battery results. Its not that its bad or something, but i kind of expected way more from a 4500mah battery powering a 1080p 60hz only screen.

                  Xperia 5 III with 4500mah battery, 120hz screen and the power hungry snap888 posted better overall results in comparison.

                    Zuzuz, 07 Aug 2022Wrong. Everything changes with the size of fotodiodes.12.2MP 1.4 micron for 6a.
                    Even if 6 Pro had bayer with 50MP with same 1.4 micron of imx363, then 6 Pro would still beat 6a.

                      Also do not compare phone used for years with brand new one.
                      Old batteries get hotter easier.

                      Change battery of your LG you'll see it charges cooler.

                          Gnusmas , 07 Aug 202260hz on a smartphone is fine, even i have 120hz screen and ... moreI can definitely see the difference on my phone at 120hz

                          But….. just like with browsing on my PC at 144hz, aside from being smooth there is little true benefit, in gaming I feel high refreshrate has much more benefit in my opinion.

                          But I can already see a ton of keyboard knights going against this without even understanding what I mean, welcome to the internet.

                                        Well, you really praise the camera? The extreme amount of noise and artifacts in shadows and on flat surfaces (black car, skies everywhere, the statue of the soldier etc.) are nothing but a proof of an outdated sensor, which can't be helped even by the best software in the world!
                                        And considering much larger battery against smaller and more powerful S22 or iPhone 13 the battery life is not exceptional. And that's a Google phone with pure android at its best.
