Well, given that Google stated we will have to wait until July 28 to actually buy the Pixel 6a, for now all we have to go on is the specs we have on paper, provided by the search giant. So, let us dive in and see how full of a mental picture we can get out of comparing the latest budge Pixel with other handsets.
Pixel 6a vs. Pixel 6 vs. Pixel 6 Pro
Starting off with a comparison between all Pixel 6 models seems rather fitting, as they share almost identical designs overall.
As already mentioned, the budget-oriented 6a is smaller than its two older brothers. With the three phones placed to each other like presented above, it almost feels like there is an invisible curve going from left to right, corresponding a price/size ratio.
By the looks of it, the Pixel 6a is small enough to bring a noticeably different look and feel compared to the more high-end models. Keep in mind that both the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are very big phones to begin with, so even though the 6a looks smaller it still can’t be considered a “compact” phone.

It’s pit the new guy against his predecessors, the results look intriguing!
In 2019, Google tried its larger format XL version with the A-series, back when Google wasn’t exactly sure what it wanted to do with its lineup. Well, the Pixel 6a seems to be the answer the tech giant and its fans were looking for.

The differences between Apple’s most affordable handset and that of Google is like night and day.
Pixel 6a vs. OnePlus Nord 2 vs. Galaxy S21 FE
How does the Pixel 6a stack in size against other similarly priced Android phones?
Interestingly enough, it seems the Pixel 6a is the smallest in size when compared to the competition from Samsung and OnePlus. Of course, that inherently means a smaller screen size too, so it really depends what you look for more in a budget phone when it comes to size—more screen, or a smaller form factor?
