First Thoughts

Not a whole lot different then my Pixel 3a.
Touch seems a little off, even with Increase Touch Sensitivity on.
There is a slight delay when hitting the microphone for talk to text.
The volume seems low for somethings but fine for others.

Second day & 2nd random reboot after getting a notification.

How's the reception/radios/band switching? Any heat issues?

I've been on Wi-Fi most of the time, when I turn it off it is 5G.
It got warm when setting it up, but I put a case on after & I haven't noticed any heat.
The back of the phone is a lot different then I thought it was...I thought it was glass at first. It's slick & really like fingerprints

I think that we will happy. I was due for a new phone and was looking at the Motorola's in $250-$400 range. The deal for $300 back on my old 3a sealed it. Bonus was buds which I will give to my wife. Odd that Google suddenly claimed my space was full. I had at least 4GB left. Maybe something to do with 3a and 6a on same Google account? I'll have to poke around. Gonna take me a week to get everything the way I like it I'm sure!

I found the app the was causing my random reboots, it was NotiyBuddy.
Once I turned off Unlock Device With Thumbprint in the App, everything was fine.
What was happening was...every time I got a notification a thumbprint scanner would popup.
So getting 4-5 at a time was crashing the phone.

That $300 back was a first & I missed it. Most of the time, they only offered $30 for google phones, so I didn't bother to check. But from what I read, it was offered a week later, I had already received my 6a.

Still trying out the buds, I have a pair of OnePlus buds I've been using for the last year. I also think the OP sound better.

I keep forgetting to mention & this is big, for now anyway.

This phone was last updated April 5, so any bugs found now really don't matter.
There should be an update this month & this should fix most of the issues I'm seeing.

Security Update released.

Thanks, downloading now.

Well, went from April to June..still behind.

There is a slight delay when hitting the microphone for talk to text.

Yesterdays Gboard update fixed this. You know you have it from the animation around the mic when you push it.

Another Security Update, should be August.

EDIT: Still says June 1, must be a bug.

This update was to specifically address some bugs, the real August update should be coming #soon (and I kind of suspect it will bring Android 13 with it).

Too soon for Android 13. New versions usually drops around Thanksgiving.

 

[codesplice]

I think last year's October 4 release date was later than usual. In recent history, new Android versions have typically dropped in August-September.

New Google phones traditionally show up in October-November.

Android 13's beta schedule has been earlier than previous releases, and most folks are expecting a stable release this month.
