Comparison review
The Google Pixel 3a has a score of 78.8, which is just a bit better than Samsung Galaxy A6's 75.8 overall score. Google Pixel 3a's design is newer and just a little lighter, but just a bit thicker than the Samsung Galaxy A6. Google Pixel 3a features a bit faster processing unit than Samsung Galaxy A6, and although they both have a Octa-Core CPU, the Google Pixel 3a also has more RAM.
Google Pixel 3a counts with a much better screen than Galaxy A6, and although they both have a screen with the same size, the Google Pixel 3a also has a greater pixels density and a much higher resolution of 1080 x 2220 pixels. Google Pixel 3a takes a bit better videos and photos than Galaxy A6, because although it has a smaller camera aperture and a much lower resolution back-facing camera, it also counts with a bigger back-facing camera sensor which offers a better image and video quality and a much better video definition.
The Samsung Galaxy A6 counts with a much greater memory capacity to install applications and games than Google Pixel 3a, because although it has only 32 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with an external memory slot that holds a maximum of 400 GB. Google Pixel 3a's battery performance is just as good as the battery duration in Galaxy A6.
Although Google Pixel 3a is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Galaxy A6, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Galaxy A6. So if you want that extra features, you can buy the Google Pixel 3a, else you can save some money and get the Galaxy A6, letting go a couple features and specifications.
