Trade in a Pixel 3a for $300, Get Google Pixel 6a Unlocked Phone Expired

They gave me $295 for a pixel 3a that has a cracked screen

The Pixel 6A has a bigger battery than the 4A, both phones charge at 18 watts. If the 6A appears to charge slower it's due to the bigger battery. I was reading the 6A doesn't charge too much slower than flagships on a Reddit thread where someone compared the charging times. The phone learns your application usage patterns so it can manage the battery better and deprioritize applications you don't use. The result is extended battery life. I think it can take a few days for it to deliver those optimizations, but I'm sure it's always doing that in the background to optimize battery based on your current application usage. Adaptive charging also I believe further increases battery life. They've done a lot to try to improve battery life and battery performance. It definitely lasts way longer than my 4A but I also know the 4A battery needed replacement (the phone ended up being sluggish/slow and getting hot, battery draining fast so had to charge it several times a day).


My opinions about the phone:
I think the coolest thing about the 6A is the machine learning and artificial intelligence and how it powers so many different things the phone does. I basically have no issues with speech to text. I was reading it has a 99% success rate for voice diction which is more than anything else on the market. It also uses that stuff for photo and video processing/editing and tons of other stuff I can't name off the top of my head. They have some of the best spam and phishing filtering for texts and calls (plus call screening). I always use hold for me so I never have to hold when I'm put on hold lol. And then direct my call is super useful as well. They're just so many small things that the phone does that make every day life easier for me. I think what I like about the phone most is it makes everything easier and faster to do (it's really efficient).

Edit: Forgot to mention how useful Google Assistant is for setting up reminders (can do actually a ton of stuff) and the "Recorder" app by Google for voice recording presentations it also saves a transcription.
Here's the official 4 minute run down about the Pixel 6A from the Google I/O conference which talks about features, functionality, security, etc. Good for anyone that wants to learn about the phone.

Wish I had my pixel 4a back! For some reason my battery life on 6a sucks no matter.how many settings I changed. Takes forever to charge using same charger I was using with my 4a. My 2 year old pixel 4a had better battery life than my new 6a. Super disappointed 😞
