Is the Google pixel 6 better than 5?
Google's Pixel 6 is one of the best Android phones you can get for the money. In terms of design, power, features and performance, the Pixel 6 is a big step up from its predecessor, the Pixel 5. It offers improved cameras, Android 12 and the company's in-house Tensor chip.
Is it worth the upgrade from a Pixel 6 to a Pixel 5?
In general, you should only consider upgrading if your device is more than two years old. There's plenty that's different about the Pixel 6, but the Pixel 5 is still new enough to get you through at least another year.
Is Pixel 6 that much better than 5a?
The Pixel 6a will get updates for three years longer than the Pixel 5a, it has a Tensor chipset that's much more powerful, and it even has some small camera upgrades between the better ultrawide sensor and new camera modes.
Why did Google pixel 6 fail?
It is believed that Google failed to sell its Pixel devices in India due to its Soli Radar chip on the front, which utilised the 60GHz frequency band banned for commercial use in India.
