A Google Pixel 6a launched at $449 and goes for about $165 refurbished today — 63% of its value gone. That refurbished price is the number every repair on this page is measured against, because it is what replacing it actually costs.
Repairs on this phone run from about $43 at the cheap end to around $113 at the expensive one, across 8 common faults. Anything near the top of that range is a serious fraction of what the device is worth.
This is its last expected year of security updates — support runs to about 2027. Cheap repairs can still make sense; expensive ones are hard to justify against a device with months left.
