sorted byTake into account screen sizes as well. The 6a is small in my manly hands
Kind of reluctantly updated to this from the 4a 5g whilst there is still a little residual value in the 4a 5g I can sell on.
I was a bit wary at first having seen some reports on battery life not being great / overheating / dodgy fingerprint sensor but I have to say mine has no such issues. Everything works great - including the fingerprint sensor which I was very sceptical about.
Very impressed, for c.£200 the specs and support you are getting is hard to beat, particularly if you want a more compact phone. (edited)
* Size: nice one-handed size, probably a little small for many, though
* Speed: pretty fast
* Sound: nice depth although doesn't go very loud
* Screen: fine
So-so:
* Camera: decent enough but nothing special at all.
Negatives:
* Battery Life: not horrific now I put it on battery saver mode, but really should be better IMO. Also, battery charge speed not great.
* Fingerprint reader: pretty bad. Lucky to get 50% success rate.
* Ultra slippy. Any surface with even a slight incline and it's slipping off. This has fallen on the (thankfully carpeted) floor more than all other the mobiles I've owned combined. Why phone manufacturers don't make grippy phones as standard I don't know. Anyway, case required very soon.
Other stuff:
* Overheating: not noticed any problem.
Overall, nice little phone in the main but no one should be paying anywhere near full price for this.
- screenshot to be taken requires power and volume down button pressed at the same time. Half of the time I manage to turn off the screen instead. I know there is another way of swiping from bottom to middle then pressing screenshot button but still no match for Xiaomi 3 finger swipe which never fails.
- on Xiaomi I can have any app as dual app. On pixel none ... One of the most disappointing features.
- just started doing online survey for one of the panels and whilst on Xiaomi never had a problem, on pixel things in survey are displayed all over the place and when it asked me to select some logos, all logos came so small that you could barely see it. Therefore I could not even distinguish what I am marking.
- fingerprint sensor is on the side of the phone on Xiaomi. Brilliant layout which enables quick access. On pixel is on the middle of the screen. Not to best placement. On occasions when it does not work I type the pin but still have to confirm with "enter" button ust to slow things down even more...
I could carry on naming pros of Xiaomi Redmi note pro 10 against Google Pixel 6a. Not sure if there is a lot of people feeling the same or is it just me....
I was a little worried when I got yesterday's email saying my order was no longer in stock.
Tempted by this but conscious 7a is days away and a bit wary about refurb.
Is there a decent chance this will drop under £200 new on release of the 7a or am I being overly optimistic?! 🤷🏻♂️
A bit disappointed as that seemed a great price.
