Google Pixel 8a vs Pixel 6a: Should you upgrade?

Google Pixel 8a vs. Pixel 6a.

A Google Pixel 8a vs. Pixel 6a comparison should matter to anyone who's got one of Google's older midrange phones. Assuming you bought your Pixel 6a when the phone first came out in 2022, you've been using the same device for two years — long enough to consider whether it's time to upgrade to a newer model.

The Pixel 6a remains a formidable phone with its Tensor processor enabling some impressive AI features (though maybe not as impressive as the newer capabilities found on the Pixel 8a). The cameras remain top performers two years after the phone's debut. In an era when people want to hold on to their phones for longer, the Pixel 6a certainly qualifies as a device with a bit more life left in it.
