The Pixel 6a is the best mid-range phone you can buy and a fantastic option if you’re looking for a smaller Android.
The smaller size makes it easier to hold too. While the back is less premium, plastic not glass, and screen is not as slick as rivals, it still looks great. The camera is miles better than any mid-range model, competing with phones twice the price or more.

The software is smart and refined, and will be updated for at least five years, which is longer than most rivals. The battery life is very good for a smaller phone too. That makes the 6a faster than almost any other phone priced at £399 and gives it access to the same features as Google’s flagship phones. It uses the same recipe that makes Apple’s iPhone SE so good: a mid-range phone with the company’s top chip. After years of good but not great phones, the Pixel 6a is another excellent model bringing the Android-maker’s magic down to a more affordable price.
The Google Pixel 6a costs £399 ( $449/ A$749) with 128GB of storage in a choice of three colours shipping on 28 July.įor comparison, the Pixel 6 costs £599, the Samsung Galaxy A53 costs £399, the Nothing Phone 1 costs £399, the Fairphone 4 costs £499 and the Apple iPhone SE costs £419. Overall, while the 6a can’t quite match the cameras on the Pixel 6, it really isn’t that far off in beating smartphones costing more than twice the price and trouncing the mid-range competition. The camera app has many of the features as Google’s other phones, including the object eraser or camouflage tools, which recolours distracting and unwanted elements of a photo to make them less obvious. The 8MP selfie camera is similarly effective capturing a great amount of detail. Portrait mode is very good and works on objects and pets as well as people, while video quality up to 4K at 60 frames a second is solid.
The dedicated night sight mode produces great images in low light while the digital zoom is pretty good at 2x but unravels by 7x. The ultrawide is similarly good if slightly softer on fine details but it is consistent on colour and tone to the main camera, which isn’t the case for most at this price. The main camera produces very well-balanced photos, rich in detail and dynamic range across a range of light levels. Google’s camera software is some of the very best in the business and as a result the 6a shoots photos that beat many phones costing twice the price. The Pixel 6a has a pair of 12-megapixel cameras on the back: one main and one ultrawide, but no telephoto camera for zoom. The camera app is simple to use and has useful photography aids to help you get the best shot with little effort, but it lacks a dedicated macro photography mode.
