packs Google\u2019s Tensor chip, which has impressed us in other Google handsets and offers a notably smooth user experience. It\u2019s exactly the same chip that\u2019s in the standard Google Pixel 6, which is a real bonus for 6a buyers. By comparison, the Samsung uses the Exynos 1280 chipset, which is a very solid mid-range option and tested well during our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/tech-reviews\/samsung-a53-review\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Samsung Galaxy A53 review<\/a>, without ever threatening to be best in class.<\/p>\n<p>Both phones pack 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but the Samsung is compatible with expandable storage, which will please some would-be buyers.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to cameras the Pixel looks out-gunned on paper, with its 12.2MP and 12MP lenses lining up against the 64MP, 12MP and 5MP lenses \u2014 plus 5MP depth sensor \u2014 of the Samsung. However, we\u2019re hesitant to say this is a clear win for the Samsung because Google phone cameras have excelled with small MP numbers before. We\u2019ll be testing these cameras in more depth before rendering a full verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere both phones boast an IP67 dust and water resistance rating and run versions of Android 12. The Pixel 6 offers pure straight-forward Android 12, obviously, while the Samsung has Samsung\u2019s own UI laid over the top. This means the Google phone can be a little slicker.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"&quot;DISPLAY&quot;\"\/><strong>Google Pixel 6a vs Samsung Galaxy A53: Display<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Samsung\u2019s 6.5-inch Super AMOLED display offers a 120Hz refresh rate and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, which leaves the Pixel 6a a little out-gunned in the display stakes.<\/p>\n<p>Comparably, the Pixel 6a offers a smaller 6.1-inch OLED display \u2014 though many users will prefer this compact sizing \u2014 with less durable Corning Gorilla Glass 3.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, unless you\u2019re particularly looking for a smaller phone and hence a smaller display, the Samsung takes the win in this department.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"&quot;DESIGN&quot;\"\/><strong>Google Pixel 6a vs Samsung Galaxy A53:

this is the most subjective area of comparison and we actively like the design of both phones, but for our money the Google Pixel 6a has a slightly more premium look and feel.<\/p>\n<p>We liked the simple matte finish of the Samsung A53, and it\u2019s solid in terms of its design and overall look, but the Pixel 6a looks like more than \u00a3399-worth of phone, which is definitely a coup for the
