I started with the 6a until the battery issue became a problem - phone wouldn't charge. I planned on waiting for a Motorola but I can't go that long without a phone so I bought a 10a on sale. Not sure if I wanted to get an early Moto/GOS, maybe bugs, maybe not.
What annoyed me was as soon as I flashed GOS on the 10a, the 6a would charge again. I'm giving the 6a to my sister, she has a google account so she can look into getting the battery replaced by google. The 6a is pretty much mint while her Samsung has a cracked display.
The Sandboxed gp is one of the best features. There are so many security and privacy features that I could be here half the afternoon typing.
The 10a has one feature I'm interesting in trying out - pass-through charging combined with my Anker hub which has PD charging. I should be able to connect a flat wall-mounted monitor, keyboard and mouse to the phone. Mostly a backup plan if my very old laptop dies.
