Google Pixel 6a: Best mid-range offering

You don’t have to spend gobs of money to get a phone that can take decent photos. Google’s Pixel 6a has all the trimmings of its premium cousin but without the exorbitant price point—holiday sales alone brought the phone down to as low as $300 from its original price of $450. That’s not bad for a smartphone that can take nighttime photos and access AI smarts like its flagship counterpart.
