Kernel
A kernel is the heart of almost every operating system. It is always loaded in memory at any time and deals with the hardware to provide an interface for the software. It also manages peripherals, memory, interrupts, and processes. Examples of widely used kernels include Windows NT and Linux.

The Google Pixel 6a arrived with a big challenge in front of it — reclaim the title of the best cheap phone to buy, particularly for those who prize top-notch cameras above all else. It wasn't an easy fight for the budget Pixel. Since the Google Pixel 5a arrived at the end of last summer, both Apple and Samsung have come out with low-cost options.

The Pixel 7A includes a handful of important upgrades, but on its spec sheet, there’s one that I think is the most important: a brighter, smoother-scrolling 90Hz screen. It’s not quite as nice as the Galaxy A54 5G’s 120Hz display, but it no longer means you’re putting up with a screen that’s just “meh” if you opt for the Pixel A device.

We knew it would have a new facial recognition feature (here's how the Pixel 4's face unlock compared to the iPhone 11's Face ID when we tested both in four typical scenarios), a 90Hz screen and an exceptional camera.

Ever since I got the Pixel 6 Pro, I’ve been reluctant to use it as my daily driver, opting instead to keep my secondary SIM in it. The smaller Pixel 5 remained my go-to phone. But for the purpose of this revisit, I set aside my pocketable Pixel 5 and made the leap to the 6 Pro. For the first few days, the change in size was nothing.
