The new Google Pixel has just landed, with neat upgrades and knockout performance.
That camera bar was not without controversy: on the Pro, especially, it really jutted out. Here, though, it’s much less deep and that’s much better. Still, a wide camera bar has a benefit over the corner camera panels of the iPhone 14 or Samsung Galaxy S22: if you’re typing on the screen while the phone’s on the table, it is stable instead of rocking back and forth as you press.
The new phone is smaller than the 6 and 6 Pro, though it’s not a tiny phone, by any means. Where the Pixel 6 has a 6.4-inch display, and the 6 Pro a 6.71-inch screen, here it’s 6.1 inches. Which means it’s easily big enough to use, but won’t stretch smaller hands. Speaking of price, let’s get that out of the way now, as it’s a key factor in helping you choose which phone is best. Where the Pixel 6 Pro costs $899 , and the Pixel 6 is $599 , the Pixel 6a is just $449 . In every currency, then, that’s a big price cut.
The refresh rate is no match for its pricier siblings, though. It’s 60Hz rather than the 90Hz and 120Hz of the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro respectively. It’s still decent, though, and it’s an OLED screen, which not every phone at this price can boast.This is the key standout on the new Pixel. Google introduced a home-grown processor, called Google Tensor, with last year’s Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. And the exact same chip powers the new 6a.
