Save $100 on Google Pixel 6a at Best Buy

The Google Pixel 6a comes in a slim package that does not even cover the essentials. A power adapter is no longer found in the packaging, but the Pixel 6a comes with a SIM eject tool and a 1-meter USB-C to C cable. We are also happy about the “Quick Switch Adapter” from USB-C (male) to USB-C (female) to transfer data from another Android device or iPhone via cable.

Let’s move on to the tests, starting with the phone’s design, looks and build. We are excited, so grab a cool drink and enjoy the ride. It is quickly clear that the 6a is clearly a Pixel phone in terms of looks. The camera hump that stretches across the entire width of the back to delineate the two-tone color scheme is back, even if it has been slimmed down a bit. We like that the new version is thinner, less chunky, and sits flush when it’s on a flat surface.

Besides the (literally) eye-catching nothingness (1), the Pixel phones have one of the most unique designs. The Pixel 6’s glass back has been replaced with plastic on the 6a, but it still feels premium. A bonus is that the slipperiness we experienced on the Pixel 6 is no longer a major issue, as the 6a can be gripped with one hand.

With a 6.1-inch display, we wouldn’t call the Pixel 6a a small phone, but it’s significantly more compact than the Pixel 6 and Pro closer to the size of the iPhone 13, so those who find the Pixel 6 too big will feel much more comfortable with this affordable alternative, though you might still want to invest in a case to protect the back, which seems to scratch a bit more easily.

While the camera bump is black on all three Pixel phones, the 6a comes in three two-tone colors called Sage, Chalk, and Charcoal. This corresponds to the colors light green/dark green, soft gray/white, and light gray/dark gray. The Google Pixel 6a looks very similar to the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro – especially the former with its flat display and even frame around it.

While the 5a was softer and curvier around the corners and edges, the 6a’s corners are a bit tighter, resulting in a more angular appearance. Overall, the Pixel 6a manages to look more expensive than it is. The Pixel 6a measures 152.2 x 71.8 x 8.9 mm and weighs 178 g, just a few grams lighter than the slightly larger Google Pixel 5a. The Pixel 6a is also water- and dust-resistant according to IP67.
