The Google Pixel 6a is a mid-range smartphone that takes core elements of the Pixel 6 and repackages them into something more affordable while maintaining the look and vibe of Google's flagships. The device features a compact size, making it ideal for one-handed use, with a 6.1-inch OLED display offering full HD+ resolution and HDR content support. The Pixel 6a is powered by the first-generation Google Tensor chipset, which provides fast and powerful performance comparable to the Snapdragon 888. Despite initial reservations about gaming performance on the tensor chip, thermal management has improved significantly, resulting in a smooth gaming experience without throttling issues. Camera-wise, the Pixel 6a boasts dual 12.2-megapixel sensors for its main and ultrawide cameras, utilizing the same camera hardware seen in previous Google Pixels with incremental updates to the software. The results are consistently good daytime shots with excellent sharpness, accurate colors, and a wide dynamic range. The front-facing eight-megapixel selfie camera takes nice shots that are both sharp and flattering, while the Pixel 6a can record 4K video at up to 60 frames per second. However, the device loses out on the headphone jack and does not include a charger in the box. Despite some shortcomings, the Pixel 6a is a solid all-around smartphone with consistently good cameras, improved performance, and security updates from Google through 2027. At $449, it's a great value, making it a worthy recommendation for those seeking a well-equipped Pixel phone at an affordable price.
The Samsung Galaxy F54 is a new addition to the Indian market, offering a good value for money option in the under 30K segment. The phone's design is sleek, with a plastic build and mirror-finish variant that looks striking. However, it does become a fingerprint magnet. One of the standout features of the Galaxy F54 is its display - a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR support, and punchy colors. The camera system is also impressive, with a 108MP primary sensor, OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a macro camera on the back. The front camera is 32MP, offering good detail and exposure. The phone's software is another highlight, running on OneUI 5.1 with Android 13, promising four OS updates and five years of security patches. This is one of the best update commitments in this price segment. Performance-wise, the Galaxy F54 is powered by the Exynos 1380 processor, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The phone's benchmark scores are impressive, with good stability and no throttling issues. Day-to-day performance is smooth, with no lag while scrolling or launching apps. The battery life is also commendable, lasting a long time on heavy usage. Charging is done via a 25W fast charger, which can refill the massive 6,000mAh unit in no time. Connectivity options include 10 5G bands and carrier aggregation support. Priced at Rs. 29,999, the Galaxy F54 is a solid option for those looking for a Samsung phone under 30K. While it may not have any major negatives at this price point, it does offer some standout features that make it a good package overall.
