Average battery life during testing was approximately 29 hours. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life. Battery testing conducted in California in early 2022 on pre-production hardware and software, using default settings. Battery testing conducted using Sub-6 GHz non-standalone 5G (ENDC) connectivity. Actual battery life may be lower.

Excellent phone/value. Incredible camera
Yeah I don't trust the other review talking about a bad battery and how it's "going to have to be charged" constantly in the future. I doubt that person even has this device because honestly my battery easily runs a day and a half. We now have a few 6A phones in the family and they have been absolutely amazing.

lots of features don't work
Pixel 6a user review: I don't know if it's the phone or the Android OS but my pixel 6a doesn't work worth a darn in many different areas . I suspect honestly that most of it has to do with the fact that the Android OS, while slicker than ever, is more flawed than ever regarding important features that don't work at all or work correctly. There are a number of issues that persist even after updates or get worse after updates
#1 these are all issues that I've never been able to resolve since ISee more

Good Camera - Doesn't work great - Bad battery
3 years ago
I upgraded from a Pixel 4a 5G, which was a good phone with great camera and good battery life. This phone has a faster processor, great camera and display, but performance is not great. The battery only lasts about 5 hours, and that is while new. After a year or two it will need almost constant charging. This is a big step down for the Pixel #A range.

Pixel 6a user review: I don't know if it's the phone or the Android OS but my pixel 6a doesn't work worth a darn in many different areas . I suspect honestly that most of it has to do with the fact that the Android OS, while slicker than ever, is more flawed than ever regarding important features that don't work at all or work correctly. There are a number of issues that persist even after updates or get worse after updates
#1 these are all issues that I've never been able to resolve since I got the phone six months despite having spending several hours trying.
#2 I just found out that the notifications for the assistant on my phone are off and locked and cannot be turned back on. Also, a topic in google help on it is also locked without a useable solution having been posted!
#3 my 6a has no memory card slot and no way to upload my personal music files into my phone for playing on my car system. Supposedly, when plugging the phone's USB to a PC a notification is supposed to pop up in the top area to switch from "charging to "data transfer" but it doesn't and no one at Verizon or Google will help me beyond giving me the instructions on how to switch between functions, which I told them doesn't appear.
#4 the night and day themes come on at will whenever with no control even whether I have them set to automatic or manual.
#5 and this is with all windows and android based devices these days: there are no black fonts anymore, just medium grey to pale grey ones that range in difficult to see to nearly impossible.
#6 The voice to type function has gotten even less accurate far worse than it has been with pasts Android versions. The program seems to have NO "context" programing to allow it to pick correctly between simple words like "in" or "and" in a sentence, nor for practically any other language conjunction or connector words. There doesn't seem to be ANY programing in this app for the app to make choices based on any contextual reference in the sentence and I know for a fact that it could have and should have this ability for want of investment of time and money to make it better, not to mention respect for Android users.
#7 also introduced in this version is "smart punctuation" for voice to text typing that is horrendously bad and which cannot be disabled, reset, retrained or anything.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Best for camera
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this phone for a while as my primary phone and absolutely don’t have any complaints and cons. Performance is awesome and I love that it’s very less weight and it’s charging very fast. Battery life is also outstanding, with big graphic gaming apps I’m able to run the phone for almost 24 hours.I love how I could blur the background in pics and erase unwanted objects without using any extra app… just go for it and you will love it especially the camera lovers.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Pixel 6a packs a big punch!
3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pixel 6a is a great upgrade from my Note 8. The camera takes great pictures in all different kinds of lighting. The phone didn't come preloaded with a bunch of unnecessary apps that takes up unnecessary memory. The screen is clear and crisp. However, the phone is rather slippery and needs a good case ASAP. After months of use I still dislike that you have to press two buttons at the same time to power off. It's seemingly impossible with just my right hand. But the likes far outweigh any dislikes. This has been a great phone and I'd recommend it.
Yes, I recommend this product.
