  • Nice photos but poor brightness and fingerprint

    It has very bad fingerprint sensor and maximum brightness is too low in sunny day.
    Otherwise the camera is good for the price that I paid (280€). And I like the form factor.

  • It Is A Good Phone But With Costs

    Battery- It will drain quite quickly and If You Use Your Phone For 4 Or More hours, You Might Have To Charge It By Midday

    Camera- Very Good, No Bad Experience

    Network- It Is Not A Very Good Experience Here As It Tends To Not Allow You To Use Chrome Despite Having 5 Full Signal Bars

    Software- Very Clean Software With No Bloatware

    Overall- It Is A Very Good All Rounder Phone With A Few Disadvantages. Look Past Them And It Isn't A Problem At All

    Pros
    • Photography
    • Clean Software
    • Updates Come Frequently
    • Overall Experience
    Cons
    • 60 Hz Refresh Rate
    • Not Very Good Mobile Singal
    • Does Not Have A Good Battery Life

  • a huge disappointement. I do not recommend

    I have the pixel 2 xl, and bought this pixel 6A because I wanted a small phone. The first 2 things I notice is the horrible screen quality. It's a cheap oled. The colors are dull and there is no punchy collors. It's like an LCD. I had other 1080P lcd screens which were better than this pixel 6a screen. I couldn't use it so long.

    Second and most importanatly, the camera is a huge downgrade. I compared it to the pixel 2 xl and the latter has much details and contrast. Overall, the pixel 2 xl has a better camera, especially the selfie.

    I prefer to use my pixel 2 XL over this pixel 6A because of the screen and the camera. The pixel 5A 5G is definitly better than this pixel 6A.

    Pros
    • Speaker
    • size
    • performance
    • battery life
    Cons
    • horrible dull screen
    • Camera a step down from pixel 2 xl
    • Build quality
    • Sluggish charging speed at least 2 hours

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
