This is the same as the previous 4a5G and 5a5G models before: if you buy the standard unlocked version, it won't have mmWave support, only Sub-6Ghz for extended range and building/object penetration. You have to buy Verizon's model (often $50-$100 more) for mmWave support.

The Sub-6 is fine for most people, especially those buying an a-series pixel to maximize value over top performance/specs, since it often still gets decent speed and focuses on extended range. mmWave is the super cool, and marketable high speed, but you need a plan to support it anyways. Good to highlight it, but it's nothing new; that was a big difference between the 4a5G and the 5 who also shared the same CPU at that time as well.

Unfortunately the finger print reader being on the front means no sale for me
Yeah, too bad they didn't fix that on the 6a.... but I still bought it anyway because of trade-in value on my old 3a.

Because I've generally had good luck with them. Apple isn't perfect either.

And the cameras are great.

Because they offer perfectly adequate performance for the majority of users, they receive the latest Android updates immediately as well as get access to Pixel only features, there's no bloatware or extra BS software, and camera quality is top notch. Google definitely needs to iron out some hardware issues but most people don't notice any issues or can live with them. Other manufactures aren't immune to issues either.

I was excited to see my s10 get $300 for the trade in but after reading all the reviews I changed my mind. The 6a is a downgrade in so many ways. Probably worth waiting for 7.
Yeah if you're coming from an S10 than wait for the pixel 7 as they may have a trade in program as well.

What carrier are you on? If you're on T-mobile/Sprint (only have sub-6 5G) or any of the small carriers under them (MertroPCS, etc), then the 6a at $450 will work the type of 5G they offer.

As for the article it's basically saying if you're on Verizon you have to buy the $500 one instead of the $450 one to take full advantage of Verizon's network (mmWave 5G).
Agreed for many that will work. I'm with Total Wireless that uses the Verizon network and my current phone already has the mmwave modem. So I will experience a change in the wrong direction.

Trade in is great for this phone. Google is giving $300 for a pixel 3 or 4.
I'm only seeing $85 for a 64GB P3?

it's the P3a that gets $300

Correct, it's only the 3a model that gets the ridiculously inflated trade in value.

I got 295 for a 3a with cracked screen.. and free buds. This was a no brainer regardless of lacking 5g or specs.

Going to put my current 4a on side.

Maybe he just meant it as information for someone who's interested. Doesn't affect my decision but maybe someone else cares about that mostly marketing BS, I would rather have strong and stable LTE than rely on 5G spots but to each its own.
On related note the Google store deal seems like a much better option due to good trade in values for some of the phones on top of the buds unless buying without phone to trade in.
No if you're making a purchase, I would wait. I have the pixel 6. The tensor chip is poorly designed when it comes to thermals. So many bugs still Google hasn't fixed for the pixel 6. 6a uses the same. I would avoid at all costs. This is coming from someone who knows Android since 1.3. I used to flash Android on HTC HD2 which was a windows phone.

Fingerprint reader is annoying and it's something you do 100s a day. Google is heavily subsidizing because it's poor. I recall pixel 2xl having any discounts at all but it's also the last well built pixel.

Regarding the phone condition for trade-in (directly from Google), my pixel 3a xl has those pink lines. Should I answer yes or no for the question 'Is the phone free of cracks and does the screen work properly?
Thank you in advance.
