    Grabbed the Pixel 6 last week. Upgraded from the Pixel 4a 5G. Loving it so far. Robust and easy to use. As we return to 'normal life' in the UK I can be out and about in meetings all day. I tend to watch RUclips or stream music in-between my appointments then use keep for notes. In addition I take/ make calls and have had no issues with battery life for 8 to 10 hours of use.

      I also upgraded from the 4a 5G as well and I love the 6, the only thing I miss is being able to open and close my notifications panel with the back fingerprint reader. It may just be me, but I'm having problems with the keyboard on the Pixel 6, sometimes every now and then, it just seems like a key won't register. Have you encountered anything similar, or is it possible it's just me? I intend to get in touch with support soon in the event it is just me.

    At 6:53, that looks like a pretty visible difference in color rendition, with S21 much more saturated. Canon cameras are like that, and it is amusing how quickly a person becomes a fan of saturation, which has the side benefit of hiding small artifacts and edge flaws.
    As for audio, I use a wired external speaker or ear phones at home, since I dislike speakerphone sound pretty much universally, and they seem to fail over time, especially if dropped a few times.
    Kudos to you for doing side-by-side comparisons, and keep speaking to real world more than tech specs we can find everywhere.

Do you feel like moving from Samsung to a Google phone was "good" for you? I've heard there are a lot of bugs Google is currently trying to work through.

    Enjoying using the Pixel 6. A mighty fine phone. The camera so far has performed very well, especially at a gig the other night. Never been too fussed about crap like bezel size or how fast a phone charges. The fingerprint sensor works well but not as good as say the old rear sensor or face unlock. Battery life is good and I get a full day (from 5am - bedtime) usage.
    The only thing I miss from my 4xl is the squeeze for Google Assistant which I used quite a fair bit.

Another factor is the warranty, the device isn't covered by international warranty, if you get the S21 from abroad you can find it in the 450pounds range, but where I am in Asia with warranty 500 pounds is the lowest it gets, also Pixel is quite hard to find here.

    I have been using the Pixel 6 since launch day and I gotta say it's a solid allrounder phone for a fair price. I am especially surprised by its great battery life. The screen, rear cameras and stock Android are also great of course. Now what I don't like are the speakers and the front camera. I have been using a Pixel 3 since almost exactly 3 years as my daily driver and it sounds so much better, especially with its much much fuller bass and front facing speakers. Also I really would have preferred Google had resisted the trend of making phones bigger and bigger, the Pixel 3 is just so much easier to use with one hand. But oh well, guess we'll have to wait some years until the marketing bozos will decide that compact phones are chic again.

    S21, I have zero issues with it, granted I have the SD 888 version, so my battery life has been pretty good for me, along with the performance.

      Well this is the point, until Samsung stop short changing European customers with Exynos I am tempted to move to the Pixel (currently have an S10). Exynos just doesnt hold the same performance in terms of power or indeed battery life.

      I had the 5 and sold it to a friend so I could get the 6, but still haven’t gotten it in the mail because the delivery service is shite. I did love the small factor of the 5 but felt in the middle is about right, so 6.3 inches but the 6 is 6.4, so about right, though the weight is curiously close to the 6.7 inch Pixel 6 Pro. I don’t know why that is but I hope it’s as good as I hope it will be.

    This has some really good cameras, but the phone does heat up quite a bit even after 5-10 minutes of gaming.

    Turn off the extra precise bluetooth and WiFi search on the Samsung and activate the adaptive battery you will see the difference.
    Also the AOD (with photo) consumes a lot of battery.
