Features

Google Tensor, the brains behind Pixel 6a.

Apps launch fast, pages and images load quickly, and everything runs smoothly because the Pixel 6a is powered by Google Tensor– the same custom-built chip as Pixel 6 Pro.

All-day power.

Pixel's Adaptive Battery can last all day, so you don't have to worry about slowing down to charge. It learns your favorite apps, saves power on those you rarely use, and can last over 24 hours. You can also extend your battery up to 72 hours total with Extreme Battery Saver^{superscript 4}– you can choose which apps to run, and Pixel can turn the others off. Plus, get hours of power in just a few minutes with fast wired charging^{superscript 5}.

Take truly great shots with intelligent photography.

Real Tone represents all skin tones beautifully and authentically. Face Unblur makes faces look sharper^{superscript 6}. Capture the moments that matter and even take stunning portraits in low light with Night Sight^{superscript 7}. What's more, Magic Eraser makes distractions disappear, just like that^{superscript 8}.

Protection and privacy. Simplified.

Take your phone almost anywhere. With IP67 protection, Pixel 6a can take a little water and dust. And the built-in safety and security of the Titan M2™ chip and Google Tensor security core give Pixel an extra layer of hardware security, so it's more resilient to attacks^{superscript 9}. And, with Fingerprint Unlock, you can unlock your phone securely and reliably with just a touch.

Android experiences built for you.

Customize your Pixel interface with Material You. The colors across Pixel even complement the wallpaper image you choose– meaning you can get creative with it. Get useful info with At a Glance, like recent playlists when you connect your headphones, or a boarding pass before your flight^{superscript 10}. With Live Translate, translate languages in real time. You can chat in 11 languages, interpret face-to-face conversations, and translate signs with the camera^{superscript 11}. And your Pixel will keep getting better with feature drops – automatic software updates with new features, tricks, and apps^{superscript 12}.

Switching is simple.

It only takes a few steps to move your favorites from your old phone and get going on Pixel 6a. Just use the Quick Switch Adapter to transfer messages, contacts, and photos to your new device^{superscript 13}.

I've had various iterations of the Pixel since the 2, and none of them has given me the problems my 6a does. I've had two of them - after a certain amount of time, they simply become unreliable one day after a system update. I hate that in these modern google phones. No more.

Hardware issues?

R Meadows · 1 year ago

I absolutely love the compatibility and being connected to everything through this phone. The operating system is so smooth and the camera is amazing, but I'm on my second one already because the first one was dropped not even five feet from the ground, screen protector and case and the corner cracked leaving the bottom half completely useless. So I got another one with insurance, This second one after a year of having it just randomly decided the screen didn't want to work anymore. The screen flashes black, no, the screen is now almost fully black and flashes back to normally for a split second every so often. I didn't drop it, there is no damage I just woke up and it would flash black which was weird, but it didn't even make it 24 hours before it is now at it's current state.

Much faster than my old pixel 3. Battery seems to last twice as long.

I'm totally surprised!

Great phone · 2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I'm reading the reviews and I am so stunned. First off, I just, very recently bought this phone and I have wanted one of these since day one. Ive never had a preference which model. . Anywho a few days ago I found a 6a on sale & I absolutely had to have it so I brought it home and I have not put it down yet. I love it so I have been doing research on this phone and I have read the Reviews for it on this page and that's what I'm surprised about. Almost every review is a different complaint about different features. I don't have a single complaint. The only thing I have experienced & is not a complaint it's just something that was not accurate as a feature. The dang battery doesn't last 24hrs. Not even 12'hrs. It shouldn't be listed as a feature bc this phone is not cheap and I guess what I am trying to say is since this is so obviously not a accurate feature, then why list it as such when it's other features are we as listed and also this phone is so cool regardless of the battery situation or not. I'm happy as a clam with my Pixel. It's a great phone. It's fast. No lagging. Lots of storage for my games, phone numbers, apps, what have you but they aren't lying about other things. I'm a happy customer.

This is a really good phone and I like everything about it but the only thing I have trouble with is everyone else is saying that the battery lasts for two days I have to charge my phone every day I must have a bad battery

Piece of junk

Nigel K · 2 years ago

Piece of junk. Wish I had never bought it. Sometimes just does not receive calls - and it is not the network as the person next to me on the same plan gets them. Just can't trust it. Wanted to return it but was told there is a $50 restocking fee - which together with the original $35 connection means I am $85 in the hole and still then have to shell out for another phone. Also does not have a headphone jack.

Initial reaction -- wow $400 phone does not come with a wall plug power adapter

Mark · 2 years ago

This phone comes with a USB C to USB C cable and what the heck is the use of that? I have a USB C cable with a USB end that I can plug into another power adapter. Now I can go buy some more I guess. Yes I see the Specifications say what cable it comes with, I should not have been surprised, and maybe should have stuck with Samsung or Motorola
