Why the Pixel 6a is Still a BEAST in 2026 (No Battery Swelling Here!)

Welcome back to the channel! In this video, we are taking a look back at the Google Pixel 6a to see how it holds up in 2026. With so many new budget devices flooding the market, does this former mid-range king still wear the crown? I’ve been testing the Tensor G1 chip extensively, and honestly, the performance is holding up surprisingly well for modern tasks and daily driving. We're going to dive into the speeds, the camera quality that Google is famous for, and whether this phone is worth picking up on the used or refurbished market right now. Also, I want to address the elephant in the room: battery swelling. I know a lot of users reported issues with spicy pillows on the 6 series, but I’m happy to report that my unit is still going strong with zero swelling and solid battery life. If you are looking for a budget phone with flagship software smarts, stick around to see why the 6a might still be your best bet.
