Although curved looks nice, some might find the touch response across the panel better from a flat device. Many phones are settling around 90 or 120Hz, with lower refresh rates now being reserved for lower-positioned devices.Ĭurves are common, although they are slowly becoming the preserve of flagship phones, with some offering a flat display in a "normal" device and curved in a "pro" device. Refresh rate is the latest battleground, from the typical 60 frames a second to 144fps on some gaming phones. Samsung Display is often considered the market leader, with many brands declaring a Samsung display to convince you to buy. High-quality displays that were once the preserve of flagship devices are now common in the more affordable devices, where you can get an AMOLED display without paying top prices. Smaller devices will fit your hand better, larger devices give a more immersive media and gaming experience - but can draw more power. One of the big decisions is choosing the size of the device. RAM runs to the ridiculous - up to 18GB on some gaming devices, while storage matches the pricing, with microSD expansion included on some devices - but not all. Plus, we've seen something of a surge in devices powered by MediaTek's Dimensity platforms at varying price points too. Samsung is the big outsider here, often using its own Exynos hardware, but often have a mixture of Qualcomm and Exynos too. We're now seeing new versions of older 800-series hardware reappearing for newer devices as a sub-flagship - while some devices will use slightly older hardware to make them better value for money.

Qualcomm dominates these devices, with Snapdragon 8 series at the top level and 7 series in a tier just beneath this. This gap has narrowed recently, with mid-range devices offering an experience closer to a flagship, meaning the many day-to-day experiences are just as good on an affordable device as they are on a flagship phone. Hardware considerationsĪndroid phones cover all aspects of hardware, but there are really two areas that get the most discussion: flagship and not a flagship.

OnePlus, Vivo and Xiaomi (and formerly Huawei) are often seen as slightly less advanced with software - but often offer better value for money.

The skin and the manufacturer will define the experience, with Sony often regarded as light touch, through to Samsung's highly evolved reworking that's packed with features. Motorola also offers a near-stock experience on its devices, although Lenovo offers a completely different experience (Lenovo owns Motorola).īrands have generally been drifting towards Google in the last few years: there's wider use of Google's stock apps instead of duplicated alternatives, as well as the use of features like Google Discover on the home screen to enhance the experience.

Those phones running Android One are as close to stock as you'll get - included those from Nokia and a couple from other manufacturers, although they are rare. Google offers its own phones - the Pixel phones - while only a few offer a "pure" experience. While all Android voices have the same underlying experience, the alterations that the manufacturer makes can bring character, it can also bring duplication and bloat. One of the considerations is how close to stock Android you want your phone to be. There have been a few compromises to pull things in at this price, but there's something of a no-nonsense approach from Google here, with the Pixel 6a hitting important performance and spec points to be a great all-rounder.Īndroid phones are entirely different: there are many manufacturers, some well-known and some more niche, there is a wide range of prices, designs, features - including phones with some specificity, like gaming phones, for example.

Overall, the Pixel 6a is great value for money, delivering flagship power and camera performance at mid-range prices. It's certainly one of the most straightforward cameras, producing the best results, that you'll find at this price point. This is similar to the Pixel 5 camera arrangement so it doesn't have all the advantages of the more expensive Pixel 7 phones, but still delivers great results thanks to Google's AI approach to the cameras. Many are likely to be drawn to the Pixel 6a because of the camera.

There's great overall build quality, and a decent display that's nice and vibrant, only really let down by sticking to 60Hz, but the addition of an IP67 rating on a phone at this price will be welcomed. The Google Pixel 6a is a nice-looking compact phone that offers considerable power for the price.
