The most affordable Pixel
The Google Pixel 6a does not change greatly from its elders and is based on the same sober design with the horizontal bar welcoming the photo modules. The finishes are of quality to offer a good feeling in hand. Its form-factor is very pleasant in the hand, in particular thanks to its diagonal of 6.1 inches. The panel is of very good quality: OLED in Full HD + definition, on the other hand the refresh rate is limited to 60 Hz.
On the performance side, the Pixel 6a also benefits from the Google Tensor chip. A chip that emphasizes artificial intelligence around the photo, rather than raw power. This phone is not optimized for gaming, but it will do well in most situations and the overall user experience is perfectly smooth thanks to Android 12 natively installed on the smartphone. The battery housed inside the Pixel 6a is a little smaller than that of the Pixel 6 (4,410 mAh versus 4,614 mAh). A very fair autonomy compared to some competitors, which even offers a more efficient fast charge, which is not the case either on the 6a with its 18W. If your usage is moderate, you can expect a day of battery life.
Who puts above all on the photo
With its A range, Google wants to offer the best photophone for less than 500 euros, and it is successful on the 6a. Even if it only offers two cameras, it is the undisputed king of photography for this price bracket. This affordable version of Google’s smartphone has a main sensor of 12.2 megapixels and not 50 megapixels. The second is a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle, the same as on the Pixel 6.
Thanks to Google’s perfectly mastered algorithms, Portrait mode in particular is a great success. The quality of the shots is there, day and night. It incorporates the same algorithms as the flagships and offers the same practical features, such as erasing elements in the background or deblurring moving faces. Overall, and on 4K video as well, the Pixel 6a is clearly a very good moderately priced camera phone.
