This was an INSTANT buy for me with even a 90hz screen. WTH google? I understand you want to save battery life, but if the Tensor can handle 120 would it really hog so much juice at 90? did you have a bunch of 60hz screens lying around??
Question Are we going to talk about this 60hz nonsense?

Is it really a 60Hz display, I was planning to get this phone!
I was specting better specs, now at Spain Pixel 6 costs 579 € and the upcoming Pixel 6a will cost 459€. It's not a big difference, and you have to renounce to all this great sweets:
120 Hz
50 MP Camera
IP 68 WR
Wireless charging
Better materials...
Consider it are 24€ each
Now I'm considering to buy a Pixel 6 to change my old (and great) Pixel 3

yep. i keep looking to see if they're like "suprise! just kidding its 90" but no
WTF cares about display refresh rates? Are we going to talk about giant display size nonsense? I too wanted the 6a, but the phone's size is for Hulk hands, so I am getting iPhone mini.

Meh. I have a 120hz screen on my OnePlus 9 and shut it off to save battery.
They're not as giant as you think because they've gone to stupidly tall and skinny aspect ratios. Even the P6P with a so-called 6.71" screen, is not as big of a screen as a Nexus 6 with 5.95" screen.
Eventually you should wait. In germany Mediamarkt and Amazon had a sale and dropped the Pixel 6 for 441€. This is 18€ lower than the P6a. I also looked forward to the P6a but at that price? Idk
Furthermore the P6a has gorilla glas 3. For this price in 2022 it should have at least gg5.
Maybe you should wait for a sellout of the P6 as well or wait for an insane price drop of the P6a

This is especially painful for Indian android enthusiasts, We didn't get a Pixel device since Pixel 4A. Despite being the second-largest smartphone market in the world, we didn't get pixel 6 or 6 pro. and now we are getting this 6a with sub-par specs. There are no good phones in the Indian market for enthusiasts. Only Moto edge 30 series comes close to pixels, but that too, with limited dev support on XDA, making it unappealing for people like us.
90 hz would have been ok but not 60 in 2022. I'd expect the price to be close enough to the standard Pixel to make that the no brainer choice unless you are really offended by the FPS on that one.
the moto edge 30 (144hz) and nothing 1 (120hz) both have high refreshrate screens, even 90hz is bad for the price tbh.
Any Smartphone in 2022 above $300 should not have a 6oHz panel to be honest, the cost of high refresh rates screen has gone down enough
, google just tripping right now
, google just tripping right nowI personally don't mind the 60Hz. I have the Pixel 4XL that can go up to 90Hz but I keep it turned off because 90Hz drains battery faster. As long as I'm not comparing 60Hz vs 90Hz vs 120Hz phones side by side, I really don't notice a big difference in everyday use, or in other words, the 60Hz display doesn't bother me at all.
It's a joke to have 60Hz in a 2022 midranger especially when most other android phones with higher refresh rate are available for less price. Atleast it should have been 90Hz.
But it's kinda pointless discussing this topic imo, bcoz Google will not be able to increase the RR of 6a. It's 60Hz and so it's like either buy it or buy another phone.

Who even freaking cares... Spend a little extra and get the 6.. 60hz on a phone screen the size of your hand, not a make or break feature at all.
It's a joke to aimlessly complain about something like refresh rate on a budget phone. Go spend more money and get something better
When budget phones with 90/120Hz refresh rate cost lower than this "budget phone" with 60Hz, the discussion to defend it becomes a joke.
I don't think they're defending it so much as wtf cares? If you're concerned about it look elsewhere whether or not it's less expensive or more expensive. Basically you don't want it then don't buy it. What purpose is it to criticize them other than simple bashing?

Nonsense thread, buy Pixel 6/6 Pro instead if you don't like 60 Hz, end of history.4Honestly this is a pretty annoying complaint. "I didn't want to spend the money on an Audi, so I bought a Volkswagen. Why doesn't my Volkswagen have air conditioned seats?!"
The Pixel 6a is a midrange device. If you want premium features, you're going to have to pay a premium price. Complaining about it isn't going to change anything; regardless of how you feel about Google cutting costs, they're going to continue to do so to bring the price down.3This was an INSTANT buy for me with even a 90hz screen.
