Comparison review
The Google Pixel 3a is a little bit better than the Galaxy A6, having a 78.8 score against 75.8. Google Pixel 3a's design is newer and a little lighter, but a little thicker than Galaxy A6. The Google Pixel 3a counts with a more vivid display than Galaxy A6, and although they both have a same size screen, the Google Pixel 3a also has a greater pixels number in each screen inch and a lot higher resolution of 1080 x 2220 pixels.
Galaxy A6 counts with a much greater storage capacity for apps and games than Google Pixel 3a, because although it has just 32 GB internal storage capacity, it also counts with an external memory card slot that admits up to 400 GB. Google Pixel 3a has a bit faster processor than Galaxy A6, and although they both have 8 processing cores, the Google Pixel 3a also has a larger amount of RAM.
The Google Pixel 3a and the Samsung Galaxy A6 feature extremely similar batteries performance. Google Pixel 3a captures clearer photographs and videos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a back-facing camera with way less MP and a tinier diafragm aperture which is not good for capturing photographs or videos in poorly lited situations, it also counts with a bigger camera sensor taking more light and vivid colors and a lot higher 3840x2160 (4K) video resolution.
Although Google Pixel 3a is a better device, it costs a lot more than Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Galaxy A6. So if you want that extra specs and features, you can buy Google Pixel 3a, else you can save some dollars and buy the Galaxy A6, giving up a couple features and specifications.
