During real world tests, the Pixel 6a had no issues with multitasking. Our reviewer threw a few dozen Google Chrome tabs at it while running a Netflix video in the background, then swapping between several other apps including Twitter, YouTube Music, and Gmail. The Pixel 6a never stuttered.
For documenting life's fleeting moments, it has a 12.2MP wide and 12MP ultrawide lens dual camera on the back. An 8MP front camera facilitates selfies and video calls. Google design engineers incorporated an under-display fingerprint sensor into the Pixel 6a for secure unlocking. No more having to memorize passwords and pin codes.
Overall, the Pixel 6a is one of the best cheap phones you can get. Especially at this stellar price.
