  Extremely HOT and Uncomfortable. Not recommended

  Had it for a month and I can safely say that this is the worst phoner I have ever had. It gets uncofortably hot under normal usage. It becomes baking hot that it forces you to put it down. I waited for the UPDATE of JULY 2023 but to no avail. The heating issues persist. The processor so called Tensor G1, which is originalyy called Exynos, belongs to Samsung which infamious of heating. No matter what you do it heats up senconds after youstart using it. Gaming is no question.

  Pros

  • Cameras
  • Haptics
  • Design

  Cons

  • Get Extreamly hot under normal usage
  • Super sluggidh charging speed up to 2 hours
  • Useless fingerprint
  • Weak battery life
  • Network is weak
  • Wifi drops

  • 4.9

  It's a mid-range not a premium or flagship. I do not recommend

  I had the Vivo Iqoo 9 pro, therefore, I will be comparing it to it. The Vivo Iqoo 9 pro is better than the pixel 7 pro in all the departments but camera, and haptics.
  
  The CONS:
  
  - My vivo Iqoo 9 pro was premium and sturdy. The pixel 7 pro felt cheap in every way, shape or form : The front and back glass felt like plastic not glass. The buttons rattle arround and not clicky. The space between the frame and front and back glass is wide, which allow a lot of dust to enter and reside there, poorly glued.
  
  - My vivo Iqoo 9 pro Screen was Sharp, punchy and vivid. The pixel 7 pro screen was dull, the colors were washed out, and not a enjoyable to look at.
  
  - The pixel 7 pro is super slippry and a case is a must since day one, and the back glass gets scratched easily.
  
  - My vivo Iqoo 9 pro's performance was buttery smooth and felts quick. The pixel 7 pro is noticeably slower. Doesn't feel like a flagship.
  
  The PROS:
  - Cameras
  - Haptics
  - Battery life
  
  I sold it after one week.

  Pros

  • Battery ( 9 hours SOT over 16 hours of use )
  • Haptic Feedback ( excellent )
  • Cameras

  Cons

  • Build Quality ( feels cheep )
  • Dull Screen ( No vivid or punchy colors )
  • Slippry
  • Sluggish Charging ( nearly 2 hours )
  • Get Scratched Easily
  • The system is limited unlike the VIVO OS

  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

  Overrated. Absolutely not worth it. Do not recommend at any cost.

  Coming from a pixel 6, this is my review:
  
  I bought the phone after I saw the positive reviews here and also the review of GSMArena. I was utterly disappointed.
  
  The cameras is below par. The pixel 6 is way beter in every senario. Miss the pixel 6 photos.
  
  The battery is weak and can't hold a day. I saw the review of the battery on GSMARENA and was excited, but find out that the battery is rubbish in real life. I use 60HZ refresh rate, and the resolution is down to 1080P instead of 2k, using only wifi and everything else is deactivated, and with battery saver on along with dark mode, I barely get 6 hours SOT with no more than 12 hours of use. The standby time is catastrophic nearly 20% over night. Even my pixel 6 had a better battery backup. This is my biggest disappointment.
  
  The wifi coverage is weak and intermittent unlike my huawei p30 pro from same spot.
  
  Bloatwares everywhere even after I uninstalled most of them using adb.
  
  The system is complex and not user-friendly.
  
  I do not recommend.

  Pros

  • Speakers wow
  • Charging speed
  • Screen
  • Performance
  • Fast fingerprint
  • Smart features

  Cons

  • Heavy / uncomfortable
  • Battery
  • Camera
  • Bloatwares
  • System optimization
  • Network

  • 6.9
  • Screen5.7
  • Performance10
  • Camera6.2

  So many bugs. I do not recommend at any cost.

  Apart from theperformanc and camera, This was one of the worst phone I had. Bugs/ issue aal over the place. Network's weak and drops every now and then. Wificoverage is trash and super inadequate. Fingerprint is the slowest and unreliable and almost useless. I used the pin instead. The desin is ugly. The software is buggy and unrefined. I was lured by the Youtube reviews, but I was dissatified and utterly disappointed. Stay away.

  Pros

  • Camera both photo and video
  • Performance
  • sound

  Cons

  • super slow charging almost 2 hours
  • So many bugs, annoying
  • Weak network and wifi coverage( so many issues)
  • average battery life
  • slippery ( was dropped and crackedfrom the corner)
  • Worst fingerprint on the market: useless

  Good midranger with great cameras and several downsides.

  Pros:
  - Reliable Camera quality both day and night. It never disappoints.
  - The sound is loud, albeit little to no bass.
  - Great Battery, at least 24 hours of use with 9+ hours of Battery SOT on Wifi, and 12 hours of use with 6 hours of SOT over 4G/LTE.
  
  Cons:
  - Slow charging speed: Over 2 hours.
  - performance mediocre, not for gaming. Valid until 2024.
  - Screen is only 60hz which is a real bummer.
  - Build quality is subpar, feels cheap.
  - Buttons size are nearly unfound and cummbersome to find/distinguich, which is a major demirit.
  - Screen glass easy to scratch, glass protector is a must since day 1.
  
  
  
  

  Pros

  • Cameras
  • Sound
  • Battery

  Cons

  • 60Hz screen
  • Slugish charging speed
  • Build not premium
  • No telephoto lens

  Aside from the camera it's useless

  The camera is one of the best. However, the phone is a piece of crap in all the other departments. First, the battery last half a day somethime less, you need to charger it at least twice if you are a heavy user. In normal use, you still need to charge it at afternoon. most importantly, it takes ages to fully charge from flat to 100%, more than 2 hours. Also, the sim tray is peculiarly misplaced on the bottom and always confuse it with the microphone as they have similar holes, almost ruined the microphone on numerous occasions. Moreover, the phone doesn't allow third-party headphones, as a result, I couldn't use my type-c earphones because it requires the original earphones that comes with the phone, and pple reported having continous issues with them too. Furthermore, the pixel 3 is limited features-wise, it doesn't allow double tap to lock the screen, three-fingers swipe to take a screenshot and more, it's poor in this regard. In short, it has been my worst purchase ever, stay away.

  Pros

  • Camera
  • size

  Cons

  • Battery
  • Speakers
  • Conectivity, poor wifi and call reception
  • features
  • single sim and sim tray position
  • Slipery and fragile

  • 3.4

  in 2020 still a good phone

  First things first, the only selling point of this phone is the Charging Speed thanks to 50W charger that charges the phone from flat to 100% in just 37 minutes. The rest of the phone is average for a 2020 phone. Total of 6 hours and 30 minutes of SOT battery life. One day of heavy usage and a day and a half in light use. Using Gcam the selfies are outstanding just like my old pixel 3. However, the rear camera is average and the night mode isn't legit even with GCAM, but still good. The Speaker is average and same for all other aspects of this phone. The only two cons of this phone are the microphone, which is not up to par, albeit usable, and the updates are a bit late but still not a problem. If your phone's battery is dying, plug it, get a cup of coffe, and Tadaa! phone fully charged. Amazing. I'm satisfied.

  Pros

  • Ludicrously fast charging in just 37 minutes!
  • good cameras better with Gcam
  • Average sound,screen,battery life, performance
  • kinda snappy

  Cons

  • late updates
  • Low microphone

  • 8.1
  • Screen8.0
  • Performance7.6
  • Camera8.0
