Google Pixel 6a

If the models of the Google Pixel range are known for their photographic qualities, the sixth generation introduced a break with previous versions. Google Pixel 6a is a flagship mid-range smartphone. It integrates the same chip as its colleagues, and thus takes advantage of all the power of Google Tensor. Also, the company’s Mountain View AIs work in image processing on the Pixel 6a. If compromises are to be made, the Pixel 6a is undoubtedly the best choice for photography and software longevity at this price. For 2023 winter sales, this model is 25% cheaper.
