Google\u2019s new Pixel 6a smartphone<\/a> has just hit store shelves, offering a lower cost alternative to the premium Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro devices (Starting at $749), but does it compare given the lower price point?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/span> The Pixel 6a (front) features the same styling as the premium Pixel devices.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well it’s worth noting that for starters, right out of the box the Pixel 6a doesn\u2019t look like a cheaper phone.\u00a0 It’s a little smaller than the premium Pixel 6 (The 6a being 6.1 inches and the Pixel 6 at 6.4)<\/em> but the exterior design is closely matched, helped along by Pixel’s signature camera visor on back of the device.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On board are many of the key features found in the premium Pixel devices like Google’s Tensor processor (It’s the same as in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, A great Camera line-up (without the optical zoom and with lower MP front and rear Cameras), Fingerprint lock, Voice typing in any app (which I found to be a real game changer) and importantly a battery that can last up to 72 hours in extreme battery saver mode.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>If you like the look and features of the premium Pixel6 devices but they\u2019re not quite in your price range the Pixel6a is a great alternative that doesn’t come at the sacrifice of the features you really want.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
