I purchased all three of the 6 series through every deal published on SD (the OG trade-in deal at Google Store with buds, the $400 "price-mistake" of the Pro at WorstBuy, and the recent $200 deal for the regular 6. Used the 6a for almost a month, the 6 pro for about two weeks, and the 6 for just a few days.
Main activities are media consumption, pics of the toddler, and typical contractor stuff (calendar, Waze, email, google voice). Very casual. Every phone is still on Android 12 to serve as control variables. The former phone is my very-beloved Samsung Note 9 and a Pixel 4a 5G.
Originally wrote a long post, but everything has been said about these phones, so Ill just quickly run my takes. I am lumping all three into one post, since the experiences, apart from the screen, are nearly identical
- Phones only get hot during initial set up. Navigation, which notoriously heats up all my phones...no issue here. Did I get lucky?!!
- Loud speakers, esp on the Pro. Plenty for media consumption and Google Meet calls.
- Optical fingerprint sensor is quite slow (3/4 to one second), but has been 99% accurate. I have a lacerated thumb from a prior accident.
- refresh rate is rapture-level hysteria in these threads, and I cant understand why.... zero issues using the 60 hz screen on the 6a. Maybe im a filthy casual? (My daily screen is a 60 hz 4k OLED). 120 hz is nice for scrolling icons on the home screen...and thats about it. I dont get noticable blur when scrolling on any of the phones. High-refresh is most noticable when playing games with quick actions...not worth the battery hit on a phone IMO.
- the radio does seem to have issues. On the 6a, I dropped many texts, couldnt access panera website, and dropped a call to a fried in SoCal 3x during an hour, and neither of us were moving at all. Full reception on 5G VZ. Wife's Pixel 4a 5G on TMO had no such issues. Will keep testing these functions. Al three phones have since worked fine.
- Cameras are sufficient (I am totally the wrong person to ask about these)
- The battery life on the 6 pro is amazing for me...I have only charged the phone once every 2-3 days. Phone is on wifi the entire time. 6a is probably even better, but I have it plugged into car so often that I havent tested. Accubattery Pro actually reports 4496 mAh vs the actual 4410 on it. However, the champion of battery is my mom's Pixel 4a. I think that phone loses like 40% battery a day. and she uses it heavilly for video.
All in all, I actually think the 6a has the superior form factor of the three, and will serve a vast majority of the population well. If they had wireless charging, it would be a peerless mid-range choice.

In my experience, if you complain enough, and youre within warranty, they will just give you the next one for free to make you shut up...which in this case, would be the Pixel 7 (for now). Every tech company Ive had issues with has followed this principle (video cards, memory, tablets, hard drives, whole laptops, etc). And if its early enough, you will get a NEW updated replacement
i had the most recent update, deleted my fingerprints and redid them. so far, 100% accuracy.
Time will tell if this lasts because last time i did it, it was also working really well for a day and then got worse continuously.
thanks dude!
I added the max number of fingerprints each attempt with no luck.
I picked up the 6a after my OnePlus 8T started dropping phone calls. I was prepared for a downgrade, but have been pleasantly surprised at how good a phone the 6a is. I definitely miss the 90Hz refresh rate, larger screen, and Warp Charge of the 8T- but in day to day use, the 6a has not skipped a beat at all. The fingerprint sensor is every bit as good as the 8T (which I had zero problems with) and I would recommend this phone to anyone that needs a reliable & affordable phone. Plus, the photos have been a major improvement over the 8T!
Other than that I haven't had any real issue with the 6A. It has been rock solid. Great battery life too.

An October update just dropped this morning. The fingerprint reader on my unlocked 6a is very fast and responsive now.
