Another perk: Fingerprint smudges aren't as noticeable on the Pixel 6A's 'plastic composite' back as they are on the $450 Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, which is probably the Pixel 6A's biggest competitor. In fact, the Pixel 6A might be the best-looking phone in this price range that I've tried so far.

These factors make the Pixel 6A feel more expensive than it actually is, especially when compared to similarly priced Samsung phones. It's one of the few cosmetic differences between the Pixel 6A and Pixel 6, although you can barely tell the difference. The Pixel 6A's back panel is made of a 'thermoformed plastic composite' according to Google, but it's easy to mistake it for glass.

The Pixel 6A's camera strip is also thinner than the Pixel 6's, but they otherwise share a similar look and feel. I've been using the sage-colored Pixel 6A, which is a darker green than the Pixel 6's minty 'sorta seafoam' color. It has the same two-toned design and a black camera bar that stretches horizontally across the back of the phone. Without looking at the two phones side by side, you could almost mistake the Pixel 6A for the Pixel 6. Lisa Eadicicco/CNET Possibly the best-looking phone at this price
