The phone’s biggest asset is Tensor, the custom-built chipset Google used in the company’s 2021 flagships, the 6 and 6 Pro. Not only does it enable good overall performance now, but it also means that the 6A will keep up for many years to come — it’ll receive security patches until at least July 2027. The 6A also comes with an IP67 water-resistance rating, so it’s still a good all-around bet if you want a budget phone that will last.
