What's up guys?
And welcome to the hottest midrange phone
comparison of 2022 the nothing phone One
versus the Google Pixel Six A.
Flagship chip and a flagship
camera or a smoother display.
Sexy glyph design.
Let's take a deeper dive.
Design wise, the Google Pixel Six A retains its
look from the Pixel Six and the Pixel Six
Pro, while the noting Phone One has an allnew
translucent look with the Glyph interface.
While I like the green stage color of
the Pixel Six A and the two tone
finish, the nothing Phone One takes the cake.
It's just so pretty.
Plus it has wireless charging, which is something
you don't get on the Six A.
The display is another area where it's tough to beat the
nothing phone One, as the Phone One has a much better
looking screen with slimmer bezels and it's coming at 120 Hz
refresh rate, while the six A just has a 60 Hz
6.1 thousand and 80 P OLED panel.
Because of this, despite the Pixel Six A
having a flagship tensor chip, the Phone One
just feels smoother and quicker with its snapper
against the 778 and one point here screen.
Now, is Pixel Six A choppy
phone like some people are saying?
Well, hell no.
The Pixel six A is an optimized phone.
It runs Twitter lag free, which not
even my S 22 ultra can do.
It's just that 60 Hz panel
which is making everything appear slow.
Now, when it comes to the fingerprint scanner performance,
both phones are having an optical scanner and in
my usage, the front one has a tad bit
quicker and a bit more consistent fingerprint scanner performance
than the Pixel Six A.
Now what about software?
Well, we have Android Twelve on both
phones with no Bloatware, no Ads.
It's a clean experience on both phones.
There are some unique Google features that make the
Pixel Six A special, like the Google Live transcribe,
the Magic eraser, and of course faster updates as
the Pixel Six A will most likely get Android
13 1st, then the Nothing Phone One.
Now I really do like the Nothing
OS as it's very fast and optimized.
The Glyph interface on it lets you
receive notifications and set different ringtones.
Both phones will get three major OS updates, so long
term support is going to be strong on both phones.
Now, so far, the Phone One is pulling ahead
when it comes to design, display and even performance,
despite the Pixel Six A having that tensor chip.
But what about camera?
Well, this is where the Pixel holds
the power to flip the whole script.
When it comes to general images out of both front and
back camera, the Pixel edges out the Phone One easy.
Doesn't matter if it's wide or ultrawide angle
lens, the colors and HDR, everything looks more
consistent on the Pixel Six A.
In terms of more computational stuff like the portrait mode,
the Pixel Six A is just too strong for the
Phone One to handle like in some shots.
It's not even a comparison
with Google's computational photography.
The Pixel 68, despite having a five year old
hardware, can still outperform today's mid range camera sensors.
It's hard to beat Pixel Six A when it comes
to daylight video performance, as it supports four k sixty
FPS video and more of a consistent exposure.
Now, nothing Phone One can shoot
four k thirty FPS video.
The latest update has improved
that exposure pulsing a lot.
I couldn't see it in a general bright scene, but
in this scenario where we have me in a backlit
kind of scene and constantly moving, you can see that
we still have exposure pulsing happening on the Phone One.
While the Pixel Six A is looking very stable now,
when it comes to extreme low light and night mode,
phone One does catch up because of its newer hardware.
Images are very close to the Pixel detail wise,
but night lowlight video is where you can see
a big difference, especially when you enable that night
video mode on the Phone One, which bumps the
exposure and minimizes the noise.
This is a special feature of
this Snapragon 778 G Plus chip.
Once again, this is an
extreme lowlight performance example.
In general, lowlight video wise, the Pixel
Six A could do just fine.
But just to show you that the Pixel Six A
isn't that bulletproof as you think, the hardware on mid
range phones are catching up in low light performance overall.
Still, the Pixel Six A is clearly better
than the Phone One, and most midrange phones
cannot come close to this performance.
We have consistent colors in photos and videos,
and in general, the portrait mode is probably
the best in this price range.
Battery wise, both phones can survive throughout the day in
my usage, but the Pixel Six A may have a
slightly better battery life at the cost of 60 Hz,
which to be honest, I wish it was 90.
But yeah, it is what it is.
Overall, the Phone One seems to be more of
a complete package, with smoother performance, wireless charging, better
design, decent cameras, while Pixel Six A has a
solid A plus when it comes to camera performance
that you can be very confident in.
If you really want the best camera performance in this
price range on Android, with the sacrifice of smoothness, and
especially if in your country, the price of Pixel Six
A is about the same as the Phone One, then
the Six A may be the phone for you.
