The Google Pixel 6 Pro was a great phone when it was released back in 2021, ushering in a new Pixel age as one of the first phones to come with a Google Tensor chipset. But that phone is getting older, and it’s set to lose access to Android updates at some point this October. That means you may be getting ready to upgrade.
The Google Pixel 8a has a lot more to offer than the Pixel 6 Pro, thanks to the Tensor G3 chipset and a myriad of additional hardware upgrades. It’s much cheaper and costs around half of what we expect the Pixel 9 Pro to cost when tht phone arrives later this year.. But is it worth upgrading to the Pixel 8a from the Pixel 6 Pro? Can the jump from a Pro model to an A series actually be called an upgrade?
