Comment on Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024

I have a 4a and need to upgrade, and have the same size consideration. Are there any downsides to the 6a that you know of?

My wife has a 6a. A few things that she has noticed but not deal breakers. After installing a glass screen protector the finger print reader is really hit and miss. I went to enable face unlock but Google doesn’t allow it on the 6a. Custom ROM would solve that, however I don’t know about graphene. Not the best cell reception. Not a huge case selection. At least compared to non (a) versions. Battery life under heavy use is just ok.

Graphene, Lineage, and DivestOS all run great in my experience.
Better performance and battery life.
All very easy to install on Pixel.

I’m using a 6a. I used graphene for like a week but didn’t like it. The only downside I have is no wireless charging. I’ll be getting an 8a as soon as it comes out for that reason. My wife is using a 7a and I’d say it’s perfect.

Hmm, I might wait a while until the 7a comes down more. The 4a is holding me for now I guess.
