60Hz screen off pace with similarly-priced rivals; Charging could be faster;

The Google Pixel 6a has exceeded expectations and we’re happy to report that after two years, the ‘fucc’ is well and truly back.

Google is on a roll. 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. It uses the same recipe that makes Apple’s iPhone SE so good: a mid-range phone with the company’s top chip.

Pros: brilliant camera, good smaller screen, top performance, good battery life, recycled aluminium, five years of security updates, Android 12, smart software features, competitively priced.

Cons: fairly slow charging, no optical zoom, no macro photo mode, no face unlock option, screen only 60Hz.
