I just got the 6a 2 weeks back and I love it. Some QoL life features are missing, which you can find on similarly priced phones from other brands. If you want all those extra juicy features, then yeah, the 6a wouldn't be a great buy.My friend had a terrible experience with Nord. Also read that 6A has its own issues. Does Motorola make good phones?
Have our standards have slipped so much that we are branding essential features in a phone as 'QoL features' or 'extra juicy features'? Or is it because its Pixel and bias?I just got the 6a 2 weeks back and I love it. Some QoL life features are missing, which you can find on similarly priced phones from other brands.

Do you own a 6a? Tbh you make it sound like a really pathetic phone, when it is not. Or I may have "lower standards" than you- which makes me happy that I'm not ultra picky. I'm just a regular user who uses the phone for work, doesn't play games and don't watch movies on it.Have our standards have slipped so much that we are branding essential features in a phone as 'QoL features' or 'extra juicy features'?

The 6A has a terrible fingerprint scanner, 60HZ display, heats and throttles because of crappy Exynos chipset which also leads to sub-par battery life, have no headphone jack, comes with a lousy 128GB storage with no 256GB option, lower quality AMOLED display and average WIFI connectivity.
I have been using OnePlus 7 Pro for the last 3+ years and was facing similar problems.Have been using one plus 6 for the past 4 years. I started freezing and crashing. Tried a full reset, and installing custom ROMs but nothing worked. Please suggest a good android phone under 40k. Looking for one with a clean, reliable UI experience and good battery backup.
Upgraded to Pixel 6a from my Redmi K20 Pro. Yes, the fingerprint reader/sensor is not the greatest and usually gives up after two attempts. I DO use a tempered glass so it may cause some issue. I really do miss the headphone jack . I have a pair of OnePlus TWS and the right earbud barley lasts for 30 mins.Have our standards have slipped so much that we are branding essential features in a phone as 'QoL features' or 'extra juicy features'?

I think this 'guarantee' is only for the flagship 'S' series and the 'A' series. The mid-range 'M' series etc. do not have this assurance.Try latest Samsung with GURANTEED 3 years Android Update & 4-5 years security updates
Have 14 months old M series (2021) Samsung device in family and last month or earlier got Android 12 Update + Regular Security Updates and it's 14 month old device.I think this 'guarantee' is only for the flagship 'S' series and the 'A' series.

I'm not denying the excellent support that Samsung is providing for their phones, but they are making 'guarantees' only for the high-range mobiles.Have 14 months old M series (2021) Samsung device in family and last month or earlier got Android 12 Update + Regular Security Updates and it's 14 month old device.
I have A50s, using since last 25 months, but model released 3 yrs ago, so Android Update stops after Android 11 but security patch still updating on Quarterly Basis.

Interesting how different Pixel users have different issues. For me, sometimes lift to wake randomly stops working. Like once every fortnight. But otherwise the phone is lovely.Upgraded to Pixel 6a from my Redmi K20 Pro. Yes, the fingerprint reader/sensor is not the greatest and usually gives up after two attempts.

After the Android 13 update, the heating/throttling issues have mostly been solved but it sometimes does get hot when using Mobile data. Battery life is decent. Zero issues with Wi-Fi connectivity.
As for the software, it is miles better than MIUI 13. Animations are smooth and the haptic feedback is just something else. I love how they've implemented it with the caller tune. There are minor inconveniences such as the recents menu bugging out (for me) and issues with enabling USB Tethering.
