One of the best values you can get for your money is the Google Pixel 6a, which has the best features of both the phone and the operating system. We found in our review that there is no better value for money in the world. You get a familiar 12MP wide and 12MP ultrawide camera on the back, which you can use to take pictures.

Many people will be happy to see that you give up a few comforts for the price, such as wireless charging, a bit of camera performance, and the high refresh rate display, but they will be more than happy to see that you don't get the high refresh rate display. The 6.1-inch display is still sharp and vibrant despite the fact that it's smaller. If you're looking to save money on your next phone but still want some of the best cameras and great performance, the Pixel 6a is a good choice.

The software side is not as bright with the phone shipping with Android 11 and only planned to get an update to Android 12. The phone is still a good option even if you don't care about the latest version of the software. The 6.43-inch AMOLED display looks great and the phone has no problem keeping up with most applications.
