Pixel fans would likely notice how the Pixel 6a is almost indistinguishable from the Pixel 6. The main difference is that Pixel 6a packs a 6.1-inch screen, whereas Pixel 6 sports a 6.4-inch one.
This contrasts with the strategy Google previously adopted for their mid-range series. Pixel 4a and 3a used phone backs made with a completely different material and feel, with the intent to clearly distinguish between the budget-conscious handset from its premium variant.
Having said that, featuring the same design decision as the Pixel 6 meant inheriting some of the ergonomic problems that we previously encountered. Pixel 6a uses the same, slightly confusing button layout that can lead users to lock the phone on accident when trying to adjust the volume. When trying to lay the phone flat on its back, Pixel 6a also cannot do so due to the camera bar. However, the Pixel 6a does have a milder tilt, given how the camera bar doesn't protrude as much.
Also, the Pixel 6a is the first mid-range Pixel phone with an under-display fingerprint sensor. The display is a Full HD+ (2,400 x 1,080 pixels resolution) OLED panel topped off with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It doesn't differ much from the Pixel 6 beyond its lower refresh rate of 60Hz (vs 90Hz on the Pixel 6).
