Good Phone

Posted: Jan 07, 2023, 10:31 PM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I always have to use 2 phones (one personal and one business). This is my second Pixel phone after Pixel 3a. I have been using Samsung Note 10 Lite and S10 Lite after that. I always make sure that one of my phones have 3.5mm jack. Currently I am using Pixel 6a and Moto G62 5G (has 3.5mm jack, microSD card slot, stereo speakers, yet costs 50% of Pixel 6a). As Moto G62 has got "Potato Camera(s)", I bought Pixel 6a for camera purposes. That is a great decision, imho.

I hate Pixel 6 phones for the Glass sandwich design and hence bought Pixel 6a. Since I have earlier used Pixel 3a, I have no doubt regarding the Cameras and I don't really miss 50MPx of Pixel 6 series. I love the compact form factor of this phone. For typing e-mails and browsing, where bigger screen is preferred, I use my Moto G62. Best of both worlds, imho.

It is always better to buy Pixel phones after minimum 6 months as by that time, Google would have sorted out all software bugs. In display FPS is fast, phone is flying fast, battery life is amazing and lasts more than 1.5 days (mostly because I have 2 phone batteries to kill). Even for single phone using heavy users, it will surely last one full day without any issues. Network speed is great, comparing my earlier Samsung phones. Over all a great phone.

Good MidRange Phone

Phone owned for less than a year

This is my second owned Google Pixel device. I picked it up on launch day and personally I went from the Google Pixel 4XL to the iPhone SE (2020) for a smaller daily phone. However the Pixel 5 lineup series didn’t impress me to buy a new Pixel and the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro was just not good. Google worked a little magic out with Pixel 6a. It’s a great little phone. However I’ve had tons of issues with this device. I know that I gave it high ratings because I completely compared it to the Google Pixel 4XL that I had. However since using it since July release date I’m very highly considering taking my SIM card out of this phone and experiencing with a Nokia midrange device. However being technical I personally know that the internals processor and camera want be the same but I’ll compare the 2 devices and leave a review for it. However I do like Google for its Monthly updates.
