We compare Google's new 2022 Pixel 6a mid-ranger against its 2021 predecessor, the Pixel 5a.
Unfortunately the Pixel 6a won't be bringing 120Hz refresh rate, but it remains with the more traditional 60Hz, just like its predecessor. Other than that, no huge differences in display quality. Both screens are covered with Gorilla Glass, which is always welcome.The new Google Pixel 6a is powered by the search engine giant's own Google Tensor GS101 processor and 6GB of RAM. We're yet to put it through its paces, stay tuned for our performance benchmarks.
The Pixel 5a is instead powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, paired again with 6GB of RAM. In our review of the 5a we weren't exactly impressed with its performance, but it is still a good phone for casual use, and for playing the occasional not-too-demanding game. We can expect better performance from the 6a with its Tensor chip.The Pixel 6a is coming with dual cameras – a 12.2MP main and 12MP ultra-wide. Those are both Sony sensors, the IMX363 and IMX386 respectively.
The Pixel 5a's battery size is slightly larger at 4680 mAh, but the phone's supported wired fast charging speeds are lower, at up to 18W.During our usual battery life testing for our Pixel 5a review, we found it to be a long-lasting device. Check out our battery benchmarks below, and expect Pixel 6a battery benchmarks as soon as our review comes out!
