I bought a P6 based on Marques' endorsement. I Love it, no issues. I learned my lesson: an endorsement from a person who can afford to just swap devices at any time based on minor annoyances is pointless.
It's true. Another aspect to take on this, though, is that we should be thankful he came out after and amended his review. You don't get that with a majority of tech reviewers.
I got the Pixel 6 Pro late November, never had any problems that everyone else seems to have. I have the AT&T version of the phone. I will admit, the fingerprint scanner takes a second to register your thumb, but other than that, performance is fine, camera is great, frames are consistent. Nothing to complain about. Even before the January update.
Same here, i think they throw crap alittle to much. I havent either have any problems they talk about. And My fingerprint scanner is pretty slow aswell but for a phone that Costs like 400$ less than My last phone iPhone 13 pro max, atleast it has a fingerprint scanner.
I've had the base Pixel 6 since it came out and haven't experienced any of these issues. No bugs that I've seen. No crashes. I'm a professional video producer and I've been quite impressed with the phone's photo and video capabilities. It edits photos like a demon banshee!
@@D4V1D0N398 I wouldn't say it's like the iPhone's video quality. iPhone is really smooth but I feel like the Pixel 6 footage looks way more like what an actual DSLR than other phone cameras. Particularly in 4K at 60p.
My 6 has been fine since purchase unlocked from Google. Both December and January patches on with no problems. Yes, you must hold your thumb a moment on the screen, but not long at all. Also, I have it tied to my watch per unlocking. Apparently about 40% of buyers had problems. I got lucky/or a good one.
Pixel 6 (non-pro) user here. Only issue I've experience since getting my phone has been related to the in-screen finger print reader. Sometimes it doesn't read my finger at all, other times it takes a few attempts. Maybe 50% of the time it works perfectly. That experience has gotten better with each update, but still isn't where it should be.
I've had the Pixel 6 since launch. I've had none of these serious issues they bring up. The fingerprint scanner is a bit slow but that's literally my only gripe. The only bug I can think of is sometimes the keyboard will stay up when it shouldn't. Other than that this is honestly my favorite phone since the S9. Battery life is fantastic. I can go 2 days without a charge. Camera is top notch. 90hz screen in smooth as butter. No complaints here.
It’s beyond my understanding how it’s possible, but I’ve had no issues with my 6 pro. The entire workflow is smoother, yes. But it has always been very very nice ever since the day I got it. The camera seems to have improved in its consistency. And now it consistently does better than the 13 pro max which is an absolute killer of a phone camera. Video is great now. Noise levels seem to be lower and photos were always just better on the Pixel IMO.
I bought the Pixel 6 unlocked. The only issue I had was the fingerprint reader. I had the Nov update. Then nothing until January. Since that update, the reader is working better. Overall, this is a fine phone. Google did a good job overall with it, imo.
See, I totally agree with Marques. What I don't understand is, I am using the P6Pro right now. I have very rare bug occurences, even though my daily screen time is higher than average. I use a ton of apps. Take a lot of videos. My phone gives me 8.5ish hours on a full charge. Even my brightness is usually 60%. I dropped it twice on the kitchen floor last week, no cracks or scratches as well. He might just have a bugged unit? A defected one? Idk.
I screen cracked with a screen protector and bellroy case on it, but the screen protector did not shatter at all, it was about a 2ft drop while sitting in my gaming chair...I honestly was impressed with the screen protector, but also the finger print sensor is finicky as heck, I honestly prefer using my Redmi Note 11 pro(China version) because of the better specs and actually cheaper price than the global version.
Your experience doesn't have to mirror someone else's for there to be a problem with the device/os. It's beyond me why people think that their positive experience with a product invalidates issues others may have with it. There are countless threads on Reddit about these bugs.
I have the Pixel 6 pro, and everything about it has been perfect with the exception of Bluetooth. Currently, there is a huge problem with support for LDAC at 990Kbps, it makes it so that any person trying to experience high-quality audio through music streaming services such as tidal and apple music cannot do so due to software bugs that make it very stuttery and unusable. So far Google hasn't acknowledged this. I've also heard the external DACS for wired headphones are also having major issues at not playing at correct bit rates.
Not to mention using LDAC frequently makes sound come out of only my right earbud (Sony XM4) and I have to cycle noise cancelling on and off to fix it. I could just use AAC instead, but I really would rather use LDAC.
Same - no issues but the buggy LDAC However since I am based in EU 5G does not work... Or works in some part of Europe... but in others it doesn't... I dunno, it has to do with Google and their idiotism. So for people in EU - especially if you like to travel around the union: Pixel 6 or 6 Pro are not fully capable 5G devices.
Bluetooth audio always sucked on pixel devices ! Also USB audio pro is not supported on pixel phones. I don’t think it supports Aptx either as that is a Qualcomm codec. If you are an audiophile pixel devices are rough to deal with.
Pixel 6 Pro - I haven't noticed any bugs. I did notice apps had issues after the update, but those apps were fine after I updated them too. I'm actually really happy with my Pixel 6 Pro.
I was so excited for the pixel 6, I anticipated it for a year and got it day one. I was so let down. So many bugs and crashes. The camera should have been knocking things out of the park but the pics looked way oversaturated and not nearly as good as my old pixel 3a (in my opinion). Also some of the features that I was really looking forward to like voicemail transcription weren't available (I tried but it seemed like they were only available to google fi users? Maybe I just didn't look hard enough). Just switched to the Galaxy s21 ultra and oh my god its so much better in every way. Phones are so central to our lives and having one that just works makes an enormous difference. By the way love this show you guys, its a great format and a pleasant change from the typical "person reviewing a phone for the 204,000th time"
I switched from the S21U to the GP6P and it was the best thing I ever did. I hated that the SGS21U did not stop the spam calls. I hated that Bixby wanted to takeover every time I talked to the phone. I hated that my timers never worked if I was using the Google clock app. I hated that Samsung felt the need to duplicate all of the really stellar Google apps. I hated that the voice to text could not hold a candle to that same feature on the GP6P. It was heavy and uncomfortable to use with one hand for extended periods of time. Could not stand using the edge of the phone to store quick apps. And, there's much more about Sammy software that could not compare to Pixel software. I hate that there's always something that you have to set up on a Sammy to get it to do what the GP6P does right out of the box. I think y'all are just fragile ego Sammy fans who decided to try a pixel AGAIN! But here's the magic question. If Sammy was so awesome, then why try anything else? Apple fans don't have this behavior. There are always exceptions, of course, but they are loyal to a fault. SAMMY fans have this sneaky way of hating Sammy phones but hating others more. They try every Android phone out there hoping to find something better. And, when the thing they try has a few hiccups they go running back to Sammy while trying to shame those who don't like Sammy, when they don't truly like Sammy either. Sammy fans have had this behavior for years. Are there some things that Sammy does better than the GP6P? Yes! But, there's not a big enough gulf there to make it seem as if the GP6P is total trash by comparison. And, Sammy was 300.00 more than the GP6P. It's definitely not worth that extra 300.00. And, the reason I put Sammy fans on blast is because it doesn't matter what tech device the subject is covering, Sammy fans always feel the need to canvas support for Sammy. iPhone users stopped doing this 6 or 7 years ago. Sammy fans=fragile ego FRFR!
I swapped my s21 Ultra for a Pixel 6 pro, and so happy I did. Don't like how Samsung pushes you to use Samsung apps and such. Pixel 6 pro here has had no issues. Love the phone.
@@chillywill95831 I hate my Pixel 6 Pro now because I have so many issues, but I miss so much the spam blocking. There's no other phone I know of that does such a great job blocking. I bought a ATE 5G to hold me over till the S22U comes out, but the things I didn't like with Samsung like (what you said) Bixby is a little annoying, but sadly the 52 has been much smoother and less bugs. I'm so disappointed with my Pixel. I wish so much it would work with much less bugs. I'm hoping Feb 7 that update fixes many of the bugs I have. Currently it's up for sale.
Been using the Pixel 6 for a month now and have had nearly zero issues. Only bug is the RUclips app sometimes crashes. Finger print reader has been great and I installed a glass screen protector and never recorded new prints.
@@ValmikKalathia RUclips won't let me post the link. The title is "amFilm Tempered Screen Protector for Google Pixel 6, 0.26mm Thickness HD Clear, Anti-Scratch Bubbles-Free"
I can honestly say I've had none of these issues with the Pixel 6 that these guys are saying. "I've had so many I couldn't use it anymore". I've not experienced anything like this. I use my Pixel 6 Pro for work and personal use, so I use it quite rigorously and I haven't had as much as a frame drop. I love it
It's good that you held up that silver RUclips thing at the end of the clip. I didn't realize I wasn't watching MKBHD but silver made me realize it. I'm subscribed to mkbhd and these vids are always on my homepage. Now that I know this is different i subscribed. Might be good to occasionally mention that this is not mkbhd channel and people can also sub to this.
I'm sorry to hear you guy's Pixels are acting up 😕. I bought mine like 2 weeks ago and the only issue is that it heats up quite often, but everything else is literally fine
Bought the pixel 6 about 2 weeks ago, and updated it right out of the box. So far I've had no weird bugs or anything like that. Everything runs smoothly and there are no issues with random crashes. Not saying this will be the same for everyone, just my experience.
I have received my Pixel Pro 2 weeks ago. No bugs, no issues. Super fast with everything I click. Not even a full second, but instantly opens apps, pages and so on. And the battery life is amazing, I video chat a lot and watch a bunch of videos on it and still have to charge it when I go to bed only. No recharging needed all day. I did read a lot about the fingerprint reader being slow and was prepared but now that I have the phone I can say that no other phone that I had in the past was that fast with the fingerprint reader like this one. Reader is working perfectly and super fast for me. I received the newest iPad for Christmas and actually have issues there with the fingerprint reader, often needing to enter Code instead. So I am super happy with this phone. Love it.
Have been using my Pixel 6P since Nov. I have been getting 6-8 hrs screen time consistently. But, I do see the bug where I jump on a complete blank Home screen, and it takes me to jump to something else and come back, for all the widgets and apps to show up in my home. Apart from that, rest has been super smooth.
That's honestly the only issue with mine as well. Fingerprint is also faster since last update. Takes like a second and don't have to hold down like some people say. Overall, it's been really good. Same amount of SoT except it's 6-10 depending on use.
My p6p has been flawless.. Love it and I have no issues with battery or performance. Sorry that some have had issues but most have had none Whats so ever... Enjoy yours
I got the P6 even after listening to all the complaints about it ! Imported it to India, in a market where there is literally no AFTERSALES for this particular model, since they dint launch it here! JUST PUT MY FAITH IN GOOGLE I moved from my iphone XS Max ! Best decision ever! iOS just feels so dated!
Until this day you still can't simply plug an Iphone into a computer then Drag and Drop files. That's the main reason I'll never get an Iphone. It's funny because the majority of Iphone users don't even understand that feature. It's technology that's been used since the CD burning days.
@@rell660 I am on that camp... There are iPhone users that don't know what a file is (true story). 90% of iPhone users don't move/send files (as files) they send documents and photos which are an abstraction of files. So why would they care for something they don't need?
I have the regular 6, my deadline for a return is tonight, I'm sending it back! battery life is less than my old LG G8, too many bugs with the software, finger print issues, apps issues. I'm ordering another used G8 and waiting for the Galaxy S22 ultra to drop in pricing. I gave it a chance with 30 days of use, Google should have made sure it was good for the consumers before releasing it
Completely agree! I wish I was in the return window for my P6P, but unfortunately I'll be taking a hit for this one. I'm looking onwards to the S22 Ultra. At this point, Google should just hand Android over to Samsung.
My favorite podcast is Hardcore History by Dan Carlin. The episodes are like 4 hours, so no chance of listening to the whole thing in a commute. And he doesn't have ad breaks or breaks of any kind, so you just have to stop and pick it back up. It's incredible though.
Pixel 6 rooted with Kirisakura custom kernel is where it's at. For $700 CAD it's the best deal on the market in terms of a near-flagship phone experience. I really hope Google comes out with an iPad competitor for Android and that the Pixel Watch is solid as I'd love to be full Google for my mobile tech.
The tablet os would take developers to actually make apps for tablet, iPad is just better because even doe ipados is limited, the app support is unmatchable. For eg samsung tabs have great first party apps but third party ones suck.
Marques: "i don't understand why people put a case on their phone, they look so nice without it" also Marques: "gO gEt a sKiN aT ChAnNeL sPoNsOr dBrAnD"
That's funny to see how strict the guys are about podcasts, whereas I fill just about every part of my daily life with podcasts - driving, working out, taking out the trash, preparing meals, washing dishes, showering, etc. Pretty much anytime I'm on my own for a particular task. And I still have hundreds of hours of shows I'll never get to... I actually have to force myself to be in silence sometimes or just do music instead.
One reason why I switched to iOS was actually because of the aesthetics. I just like the symmetrical bezel WAY better and in general all the details Apple cares about like the rounded corners always match everything - even in software when you open an app or whatever and the rounded corners of the window perfectly matches the rounded corners of the display. Stuff like this always gets completely overlooked on Android. It wasn't the main reason but it was one reason.
Ahem, erm, new to the podcast scene. Hi. Question, 05:11, what's the name of the podcast and/or episode? Searching "Reply All, Long Distance" ain't yielding much (plus, can't verify whether indeed it's the episode Marques is on about)
I understand what you mean about everyone has a phone case that covers up the colorway of your phone. In my case though I use Clear style cases that display all of the phone or certain parts like the back glass. So what color the phone is, is actually important to me. I also know some people who actually don't use cases on their flagship phones. Actually several tech channel creators I watch don't use cases on their Samsung or Apple phones but they do put a Sapphire/Tempered Glass screen protector on them so if something ever does happen they don't ruin the screen.
Before the big update in January, I didn't really have any huge problems with the Pixel 6 Pro. Battery life was a bit 'meh', but after I switched the network preference from 5G to LTE, it got better. I'm on Fi, so I had to do that via Safe Mode. Well, after the big update, 5G was back on. I can go into safe mode and switch Fi back to preferring LTE, but upon rebooting to normal mode, 5G is enabled again. That will suck down about 36% of my battery in 24 hours, and I'm mostly at home, connected to my WiFi network.
11:40 it's funny because I went for the smaller Pixel 6 mostly because of the color options available (even tho I skinned it afterwards); so yeah design/esthetics is not a small point when it comes to buying electronics!
I ran into the network issue bug with my Pixel 6, which was annoying but it honestly was resolved fairly quickly. Outside of that, I've had no real issues with my phone.
Ik for me, I usually spend more for the “better” device because of at least one specific reason. I got the iPad Pro over the air because of 120hrtz. I upgraded to the 13 pro purely because the promotion displace and sierra blue color. Like they said, I’d rather spend more than to regret not getting the “better” device. Especially if I’m holding onto it for more than a year
120Hz is NOT a little spec upgrade... It doesn't matter how good your phone/pad is if you can't see it being faster/smoother. Apple devices are great but having their non pro models 60Hz is basically a scam to make you buy the pro. All 250$+ Xiaomi phones and pads have 120Hz yet the iPhone 13, a whopping 700$ phone, has 60. That's why I got the Xiaomi Pad 5, for the love of it, I'll never spend over 1000$ just to get the 120Hz iPad when the 300$ iPad is crap and the Xiaomi Pad 5 exists for the same price. Getting 4 speakers, 120Hz 10 Bit IPS display and a great SD860 processor to drive them is enough for 99% of the things I want to do with it. The only thing I can't do is use the beloved GarageBand. But as a bonus I can use RUclips Vanced to have an adVanced youtube app but without the ad and enjoy great file management and file transfers.
I feel like they built the pixel 6 really well because the speakers are really good, the cameras good, the screen is really nice and the phone just overall feels really good. But then they just completely messed up when they were programming the UI on the phone and kind of ruined what would have been a really good phone.
Have a P6 because of Marques videos about them before all of the bug issues, however I personally haven't had any major bugs. I don't know if the majority are like mine, or if I got lucky, but the P6 for me has been enjoyable to use and at a great price in my opinion.
To this day I carry Pixel 2xl as my secondary phone just for clicking photos. Still happy with the quality of photos (for Instagram) as I feel advancements in camera quality have been incremental (law of diminishing returns) relative to Pixel 2 generation. It's very sad Google has stopped security updates support as my pixel 2xl hardware including battery are still going strong!
I just got rid of my pixel 2xl after having it since it came out. It started to randomly shut down and make a loud noise and freeze up. Other than that, it had worked perfectly for me. I now have the pixel 6p and haven't had any issues so far.
I like your streaming. I got the Pixel 6 last year. The software updating has made the phone a lot of user-friendly. Sometimes my one hand is dusting, so I use another hand to unlock the phone. I think I should pair a watch with my Pixel after I read other people's comments,
The question about aesthetics was really good. I’m looking to buy a mac, probably don’t need the 14” power-wise but the either of the 13” ones have huge bezels. So for the aesthetics plus some other future-proofing benefits, I’d go with the 14. Not totally aesthetics but it factors in for sure.
I have the pixel 6 Pro. It has been just about perfect from day one. Not dismissing other issues people have but I think it's important for people to hear positive feedback amidst all the negative stuff. If MKBHD had a pixel that had zero issues then there would likely be more positive coverage.
Mine has the same issues as Marques's, I think it might have to do with carriers, I ordered a 6 pro from Google, for some reason it didn't ship, I got the pixel buds I ordered with it, but not the phone, so I vent to Verizon and bought it unlocked, and so begun the nightmare. Maybe it's just me but every time someone says they have no issues it turns out they ordered it straight from Google
@@ernestwarhead4144 I ordered the P6P from Google and have had the same issues as Marques. Slow fingerprint reader (pretty much everybody reports), System UI crashes, battery drain worse than my $300 Motorola work phone. I'm not even a power user and these issues happen to me daily.
@@AnnoDominiAudio oh wow, so it just sucks, and yes, the battery, glad you mentioned it, that's one of the reasons I bought it, I have a Galaxy S10, I've had it for 3 years and the battery is not the same, it's bad, I would say I get twice the screen time with the pixel, that's 3 on the galaxy and 6 (not always) with the Pixel. And I get waaaaay less stand by with the pixel, I have to leave it charging over night or it'll be dead by morning. I'm talking about 76% battery drain by "Mobile network", measured by the phone itself
Got the P6P in November. Got the latest build (Jan 2022) and the only minor issues I had seems to be all gone. Even the fingerprint sensor got faster. So, I've nothing to complain about.
Tbh I think pixel 6 issues are allot of android 12 cause even on my 4xl issues that I never had before started popping up. I think android 12 isn't playing well with tensor which is weird cause youd think that'd be priority.
It proves the Tensor chip was all marketing. Samsung runs Android 12 much better even with their One UI skin on top…. Yet Google can’t? Epic fail. They took a page out of Samsung’s book and marketed the chip to seem like a wannabe A-series Apple chip by dubbing it “our own chip”.
@@Johnnygga okay there apple fanboy from the jump it's been marketed as an AI focused chip. Have you watched speed comparisons ? Tensor actually beats out or ties apples A15 in everything except video rendering benchmarks are useless be gone with your fanboyism first iteration chips are gonna have issues to be ironed out I'll save my criticism until the issues persist with the next iteration of tensor
@@Johnnygga no it's built on the same base but it is a very different chip itself I get what you're saying though. but it has different core makeup having two X1 cores etc etc the modem could be upgraded next year I think that's needed but we'll see which direction they take it I want tensor to succeed bc the android chip set market has been stale for years with almost zero innovation I like what mediatek is doing
had standard pixel 6 from day 1, very few bugs, sometimes my most recent app doesnt open when switching between apps, but thats it. Actually switched because I was tired of things not working correctly with Xiaomi devices. With google I feel comptabillity is good and updates are constant. Happy customer
I have the Pixel 6 and have suffered from many bugs from the December update, some I can recall, but I just remember being constantly annoyed by the phone, as I hate when technology misbehaves. After the January update the major bugs have been fixed, and I'm not ever annoyed by my phone anymore. So I'd say it's fixed :)
Am I the only one here who doesn't listen to music during workouts? It just bothers me when I'm trying to focus so I listen to music when I'm trying to relax. It's more of a leisure activity for me.
Pixel 6 pro has been perfect for me. No issues whatsoever. Unlocked version, 128 gb black model, TMobile esim, Verizon sim. Everything works just like my old s21 ultra, iphone 13 pro max, and OnePlus 7 pro. Love,love,love scam caller answering system, and it also waits in line for me until a human answers. Enjoy it's quality and voice recognition is like no other phone. I only watch RUclips reviews to see the products looks, but never rely on reviewers comments. The minute a video is monetized, everyone has a reason to be bias. Rather, buy the product from a store with a good return policy record. I do home Depot, Amazon, bestbuy, and Walmart, try it, and return it if it's not what you want. Never had an issue returning stuff within the return period window.
I have Pixel 6 pro since early December, camera is amazing, I especially love the quality of the 4x zoom camera. I have constant issues with Bluetooth connection with Pixel Buds. I have to restart the phone couple times a day just to connect PIXEL BUDS to PIXEL PHONE. One would think, that they would have that sorted out.
I haven't had any major issues with my P6 Pro. The only issue I have is a slight drop in cell signal. Still have cell signal, just gets slightly slower but other than that, no issues. I had way more issues with my S21 Ultra when updated to Android 12 than my Pixel 6 Pro.
Pixel Pro 6 user here no problems on my end - most recent update gave me one weird driving experience on Android auto - other than that, all good here 💪
I have used any phone made by Google to date, currently using the Pixel 6 Pro. Zero issue, very useful features making my work easier (especially the ability to copy text and dial phone numbers right from the camera and recently the ability to schedule a text message to be sent at a later time) and excellent pictures. What else do we expect from a phone?
I've had no real issues with my pixel 6 besides minor bugs like Picture in Picture bugging out with RUclips. But I've had this issue with other Android phones so doesn't seem to be pixel 6 related. Phone has worked flawlessly otherwise with no crashes or system breaking bugs. Came from a Samsung S9 for reference
I've had the P6 pro since launch. love it, no issues. not sure where all the criticism is coming from. seems like most people in the comment section agree.
I think the Pixel issues people are experiencing are because Google doesn't have a cache cleaner like Samsung's _Device Cleaner._ I find that as long as I clear my cache at the first sign of a system stutter, I'm fine.
Got the Pixel 6 after the January patch. No issues apart from the less than average battery life. I'm getting 3-3.5h SOT daily. It gets through the day just fine but sometimes on heavier days I need to top off before ending, just a bit annoying. Hope it gets better with the AI.
All these people stating they are having issues with the fingerprint scanner, like what? Just register your fingerprint while the room is dark and gently press the scanner, no squeezing the F out of it. I really wonder what the usage is for other people cause I have had no major issues whatsoever with my Pixel 6 Pro. Aside from not realizing to turn off Audio Zoom while at a concert causing my audio to be blown out in the video recording. So far I'm enjoying the hell out of my Pixel 6 Pro and will continue to use it for the next few years.
My Pixel 6 experience got worse after the updates and finally gave it up yesterday. I got it right at launch after so long on an iPhone, but just in the last few weeks it has continued to drop previous Bluetooth profiles (and can't recognize them any longer to add them back), Android Auto stopped working as well. This coupled with IG crashes, the front facing camera being soft, inconsistent audio when recording video and front facing video being sub-par, finally had me eat a loss and go trade it in for an iPhone 13 last night. I miss a couple of things, but I devalued simplicity and reliability for something new.
I have the pixel 6 pro, so far it’s been amazing and the camera is perfect. The only issue is that sometimes my thumb doesn’t scan or it’s a while to recognise it
I have been using the Pixel 6 for more than 2 weeks now. Overall, I am happy. But there are some issues: 1. Every normal picture (not portrait, but a closer picture of an object) is blurred towards the edges and it takes time to load the picture. Every time the latest picture takes time to load, shows blurry in the beginning before loading completely. 2. Have some troubles with google assistant too, if the phone is locked and if camera open is attempted by talking to Google, it is just loading and the screen won't go away. 3. Speaker volume during calls is very less, compared to other phones. Any suggestions to fix these, please respond.
It’s hard to discern between people in the comments that ACTUALLY have zero bugs, or people that are just casual phone users that aren’t on their phone much and don’t really pay enough attention and/or are too dumb to actually notice them. Same goes for the “my battery life is incredibly good” comments - which heavily conflict with what I’ve heard about the Pixel battery life. I don’t know how many of these people say that but aren’t on their phone much during the day. I was going to buy a Pixel 6, but I’m going to hold off on it for a while to be safe.
Eh, I've been using my Fold3 and Pixel 6 Pro on and off for the past few weeks and I must say, I really enjoy the Pixel experience the most on Android devices still. I bought the Fold because I'm a full time student and work 12 hours shifts at Amazon - it just makes sense to spend $1,700 on a phone/tablet in one rather than carry a phone, iPad and other devices around with me all the time. I still absolutely hate the Samsung phone experience. I don't want their phone app or messaging app. I don't want Bixby. I don't want their UI (even though it has gotten a lot better). I like having Google news appear when I swipe to the far left. There's just so much CRAP I have to go through and delete, hide from the launcher, tweak around to get just a decent Android experience. Pixels... just work.
The only issue I had with the 6 Pro was not switching to Adaptive Charging when placing it on the Pixel Stand 2, which was fixed in the update. That wasn't a deal breaker to begin with. Don't know why people have issues with the phone.
Good example of the aesthetics Vs functional purposes is the Pixel 6 Pro again. The 6 pro is only available in black for 256gb of storage. I prefer the white, so now I've gotta decide between aesthetics or the better storage.
Bought my 6 the 1st week of it's release in October. Only MAJOR problem I had was reception dropped under ground when commuting on BART (Bay Area's train) and on NYC Subway (also underground) during my trip in mid November. But what's weird, it kinda fixed itself (reception issue) when I got back from NY. No longer issues underground on BART. Never updated my 6 until this pass 215mb January update...I know weird. But overall, the 6 been fine...and YES, the fingerprint has improved and is as responsive as my old Pixel 3 back fingerprint.
The part you’re here for starts at 8:06

Same here, i think they throw crap alittle to much. I havent either have any problems they talk about. And My fingerprint scanner is pretty slow aswell but for a phone that Costs like 400$ less than My last phone iPhone 13 pro max, atleast it has a fingerprint scanner.

I've had the base Pixel 6 since it came out and haven't experienced any of these issues. No bugs that I've seen. No crashes. I'm a professional video producer and I've been quite impressed with the phone's photo and video capabilities. It edits photos like a demon banshee!
are the video conparable to the iphone ones'? specially stabilization and how it works with socials like instagram. Thank you!
I think the new update broke the magic erasers function right as you post this lol
@@Taurineg lol for some users I just tested it....works fine
@@D4V1D0N398 I wouldn't say it's like the iPhone's video quality. iPhone is really smooth but I feel like the Pixel 6 footage looks way more like what an actual DSLR than other phone cameras. Particularly in 4K at 60p.
@@Taurineg Oh no!
My 6 has been fine since purchase unlocked from Google. Both December and January patches on with no problems. Yes, you must hold your thumb a moment on the screen, but not long at all. Also, I have it tied to my watch per unlocking. Apparently about 40% of buyers had problems. I got lucky/or a good one.
hold your thumb? deal breaker
40% of buyers, that's unacceptable.
@@andrehb Barely a moment...touch, hold less than or maybe a second...I made multiple fingerprints per my thumb (2 or 3 I think)...
@@dean._.0.0 I agree, but I'm keeping mine as it is fine.
@@dugusmc Glad you got lucky with your device though! Even if I'm not a fan, I wouldn't wish for anyone who does like it to have a faulty phone.
Pixel 6 (non-pro) user here. Only issue I've experience since getting my phone has been related to the in-screen finger print reader. Sometimes it doesn't read my finger at all, other times it takes a few attempts. Maybe 50% of the time it works perfectly. That experience has gotten better with each update, but still isn't where it should be.
i have issues with the nav buttons not existing when they should, the brightness is retarded, and i hate android 12
I've had the Pixel 6 since launch. I've had none of these serious issues they bring up. The fingerprint scanner is a bit slow but that's literally my only gripe. The only bug I can think of is sometimes the keyboard will stay up when it shouldn't. Other than that this is honestly my favorite phone since the S9. Battery life is fantastic. I can go 2 days without a charge. Camera is top notch. 90hz screen in smooth as butter. No complaints here.
keyboard staying up is annoying but u can tap in the bottom left corner and it goes away
2 days no charging? Mine is like until i wake up til going to bed I'm left with 15%....how?
I don't know about that two days without a charge but I haven't had any other problems
8:07 for those insterested in the pixel question 😊
Oh my goodness thank you
It’s beyond my understanding how it’s possible, but I’ve had no issues with my 6 pro. The entire workflow is smoother, yes. But it has always been very very nice ever since the day I got it. The camera seems to have improved in its consistency. And now it consistently does better than the 13 pro max which is an absolute killer of a phone camera. Video is great now. Noise levels seem to be lower and photos were always just better on the Pixel IMO.
same here, i have been using pixel 6 for the last three months and i have not noticed any serious bug.
I bought the Pixel 6 unlocked. The only issue I had was the fingerprint reader. I had the Nov update. Then nothing until January. Since that update, the reader is working better. Overall, this is a fine phone. Google did a good job overall with it, imo.
You need to register addtional 2 fingerprint for the same finger
That will help
@@dilyarm9477 Did that sometime back. It did help mostly.
See, I totally agree with Marques. What I don't understand is, I am using the P6Pro right now. I have very rare bug occurences, even though my daily screen time is higher than average. I use a ton of apps. Take a lot of videos. My phone gives me 8.5ish hours on a full charge. Even my brightness is usually 60%. I dropped it twice on the kitchen floor last week, no cracks or scratches as well.
He might just have a bugged unit? A defected one? Idk.
I also don't experience any bugs which he mentioned. I bought the phone in Germany.
I screen cracked with a screen protector and bellroy case on it, but the screen protector did not shatter at all, it was about a 2ft drop while sitting in my gaming chair...I honestly was impressed with the screen protector, but also the finger print sensor is finicky as heck, I honestly prefer using my Redmi Note 11 pro(China version) because of the better specs and actually cheaper price than the global version.
@@RJ_Uploads Amen to that, the fingerprint sensor is a big no-no for me.
Could be since he had such an early version? I'm not sure either.
Your experience doesn't have to mirror someone else's for there to be a problem with the device/os.
It's beyond me why people think that their positive experience with a product invalidates issues others may have with it. There are countless threads on Reddit about these bugs.
I have the Pixel 6 pro, and everything about it has been perfect with the exception of Bluetooth. Currently, there is a huge problem with support for LDAC at 990Kbps, it makes it so that any person trying to experience high-quality audio through music streaming services such as tidal and apple music cannot do so due to software bugs that make it very stuttery and unusable. So far Google hasn't acknowledged this. I've also heard the external DACS for wired headphones are also having major issues at not playing at correct bit rates.
Not to mention using LDAC frequently makes sound come out of only my right earbud (Sony XM4) and I have to cycle noise cancelling on and off to fix it. I could just use AAC instead, but I really would rather use LDAC.
what about aptx?
@@techguy348 AptX is barely better than AAC
Same - no issues but the buggy LDAC
However since I am based in EU 5G does not work... Or works in some part of Europe... but in others it doesn't... I dunno, it has to do with Google and their idiotism.
So for people in EU - especially if you like to travel around the union: Pixel 6 or 6 Pro are not fully capable 5G devices.
Bluetooth audio always sucked on pixel devices ! Also USB audio pro is not supported on pixel phones. I don’t think it supports Aptx either as that is a Qualcomm codec. If you are an audiophile pixel devices are rough to deal with.
Pixel 6 Pro - I haven't noticed any bugs. I did notice apps had issues after the update, but those apps were fine after I updated them too. I'm actually really happy with my Pixel 6 Pro.
I was so excited for the pixel 6, I anticipated it for a year and got it day one. I was so let down. So many bugs and crashes. The camera should have been knocking things out of the park but the pics looked way oversaturated and not nearly as good as my old pixel 3a (in my opinion). Also some of the features that I was really looking forward to like voicemail transcription weren't available (I tried but it seemed like they were only available to google fi users? Maybe I just didn't look hard enough).
Just switched to the Galaxy s21 ultra and oh my god its so much better in every way. Phones are so central to our lives and having one that just works makes an enormous difference.
By the way love this show you guys, its a great format and a pleasant change from the typical "person reviewing a phone for the 204,000th time"
Shame on me. I swapped my S21 Ultra for the Pixel 6 and regret it most days.
@@RandyGleason I woulda done the same before my bad experience!
I switched from the S21U to the GP6P and it was the best thing I ever did. I hated that the SGS21U did not stop the spam calls. I hated that Bixby wanted to takeover every time I talked to the phone. I hated that my timers never worked if I was using the Google clock app. I hated that Samsung felt the need to duplicate all of the really stellar Google apps. I hated that the voice to text could not hold a candle to that same feature on the GP6P. It was heavy and uncomfortable to use with one hand for extended periods of time. Could not stand using the edge of the phone to store quick apps. And, there's much more about Sammy software that could not compare to Pixel software. I hate that there's always something that you have to set up on a Sammy to get it to do what the GP6P does right out of the box. I think y'all are just fragile ego Sammy fans who decided to try a pixel AGAIN! But here's the magic question. If Sammy was so awesome, then why try anything else? Apple fans don't have this behavior. There are always exceptions, of course, but they are loyal to a fault. SAMMY fans have this sneaky way of hating Sammy phones but hating others more. They try every Android phone out there hoping to find something better. And, when the thing they try has a few hiccups they go running back to Sammy while trying to shame those who don't like Sammy, when they don't truly like Sammy either. Sammy fans have had this behavior for years.
Are there some things that Sammy does better than the GP6P? Yes! But, there's not a big enough gulf there to make it seem as if the GP6P is total trash by comparison. And, Sammy was 300.00 more than the GP6P. It's definitely not worth that extra 300.00.
And, the reason I put Sammy fans on blast is because it doesn't matter what tech device the subject is covering, Sammy fans always feel the need to canvas support for Sammy. iPhone users stopped doing this 6 or 7 years ago.
Sammy fans=fragile ego FRFR!
I swapped my s21 Ultra for a Pixel 6 pro, and so happy I did. Don't like how Samsung pushes you to use Samsung apps and such.
Pixel 6 pro here has had no issues.
Love the phone.
@@chillywill95831 I hate my Pixel 6 Pro now because I have so many issues, but I miss so much the spam blocking. There's no other phone I know of that does such a great job blocking. I bought a ATE 5G to hold me over till the S22U comes out, but the things I didn't like with Samsung like (what you said) Bixby is a little annoying, but sadly the 52 has been much smoother and less bugs. I'm so disappointed with my Pixel. I wish so much it would work with much less bugs. I'm hoping Feb 7 that update fixes many of the bugs I have. Currently it's up for sale.
Been using the Pixel 6 for a month now and have had nearly zero issues. Only bug is the RUclips app sometimes crashes. Finger print reader has been great and I installed a glass screen protector and never recorded new prints.
Which glass screen protector do you use? Can you please share the link.
@@ValmikKalathia RUclips won't let me post the link. The title is "amFilm Tempered Screen Protector for Google Pixel 6, 0.26mm Thickness HD Clear, Anti-Scratch Bubbles-Free"
I can honestly say I've had none of these issues with the Pixel 6 that these guys are saying. "I've had so many I couldn't use it anymore". I've not experienced anything like this.
I use my Pixel 6 Pro for work and personal use, so I use it quite rigorously and I haven't had as much as a frame drop. I love it
It's good that you held up that silver RUclips thing at the end of the clip. I didn't realize I wasn't watching MKBHD but silver made me realize it. I'm subscribed to mkbhd and these vids are always on my homepage. Now that I know this is different i subscribed. Might be good to occasionally mention that this is not mkbhd channel and people can also sub to this.
Absolutely loved this!
I'm sorry to hear you guy's Pixels are acting up 😕. I bought mine like 2 weeks ago and the only issue is that it heats up quite often, but everything else is literally fine
Bought the pixel 6 about 2 weeks ago, and updated it right out of the box. So far I've had no weird bugs or anything like that. Everything runs smoothly and there are no issues with random crashes. Not saying this will be the same for everyone, just my experience.
I have received my Pixel Pro 2 weeks ago. No bugs, no issues. Super fast with everything I click. Not even a full second, but instantly opens apps, pages and so on. And the battery life is amazing, I video chat a lot and watch a bunch of videos on it and still have to charge it when I go to bed only. No recharging needed all day. I did read a lot about the fingerprint reader being slow and was prepared but now that I have the phone I can say that no other phone that I had in the past was that fast with the fingerprint reader like this one. Reader is working perfectly and super fast for me. I received the newest iPad for Christmas and actually have issues there with the fingerprint reader, often needing to enter Code instead. So I am super happy with this phone. Love it.
I have the Pixel 6, and never had any of those mentioned bugs. For me it´s the perfect device and i really like it
Have been using my Pixel 6P since Nov. I have been getting 6-8 hrs screen time consistently. But, I do see the bug where I jump on a complete blank Home screen, and it takes me to jump to something else and come back, for all the widgets and apps to show up in my home.
Apart from that, rest has been super smooth.
That's honestly the only issue with mine as well. Fingerprint is also faster since last update. Takes like a second and don't have to hold down like some people say. Overall, it's been really good. Same amount of SoT except it's 6-10 depending on use.
getting a pixel 6 pro next week, quite excited!
Wait for more software updates it's pretty buggy.
Its easily my favorite phone of all time even with the minor bugs and weird quirks.
Mine has worked flawlessly since new, hope you enjoy yours!
My p6p has been flawless.. Love it and I have no issues with battery or performance. Sorry that some have had issues but most have had none Whats so ever... Enjoy yours
@@cabletow likewise, asked my coworker what his experience was and no to little software bugs.
I got the P6 even after listening to all the complaints about it ! Imported it to India, in a market where there is literally no AFTERSALES for this particular model, since they dint launch it here! JUST PUT MY FAITH IN GOOGLE I moved from my iphone XS Max ! Best decision ever! iOS just feels so dated!
Glad you enjoy Android.
iOS isn't really dated anymore however it does feel limiting.
Until this day you still can't simply plug an Iphone into a computer then Drag and Drop files.
That's the main reason I'll never get an Iphone.
It's funny because the majority of Iphone users don't even understand that feature. It's technology that's been used since the CD burning days.
@@rell660
I am on that camp...
There are iPhone users that don't know what a file is (true story).
90% of iPhone users don't move/send files (as files) they send documents and photos which are an abstraction of files.
So why would they care for something they don't need?
I have the regular 6, my deadline for a return is tonight, I'm sending it back! battery life is less than my old LG G8, too many bugs with the software, finger print issues, apps issues. I'm ordering another used G8 and waiting for the Galaxy S22 ultra to drop in pricing. I gave it a chance with 30 days of use, Google should have made sure it was good for the consumers before releasing it
Completely agree! I wish I was in the return window for my P6P, but unfortunately I'll be taking a hit for this one. I'm looking onwards to the S22 Ultra. At this point, Google should just hand Android over to Samsung.
My favorite podcast is Hardcore History by Dan Carlin. The episodes are like 4 hours, so no chance of listening to the whole thing in a commute. And he doesn't have ad breaks or breaks of any kind, so you just have to stop and pick it back up. It's incredible though.
The Guy with Yellow Hat! Looks like Cheaper Version of Mark Zuckerberg!
Pixel 6 rooted with Kirisakura custom kernel is where it's at. For $700 CAD it's the best deal on the market in terms of a near-flagship phone experience. I really hope Google comes out with an iPad competitor for Android and that the Pixel Watch is solid as I'd love to be full Google for my mobile tech.
The tablet os would take developers to actually make apps for tablet, iPad is just better because even doe ipados is limited, the app support is unmatchable. For eg samsung tabs have great first party apps but third party ones suck.
Marques: "i don't understand why people put a case on their phone, they look so nice without it"
also Marques: "gO gEt a sKiN aT ChAnNeL sPoNsOr dBrAnD"
That's funny to see how strict the guys are about podcasts, whereas I fill just about every part of my daily life with podcasts - driving, working out, taking out the trash, preparing meals, washing dishes, showering, etc. Pretty much anytime I'm on my own for a particular task. And I still have hundreds of hours of shows I'll never get to... I actually have to force myself to be in silence sometimes or just do music instead.
Marques likes Reply All! Sad to watch that podcast die, but they had some of the greatests.
Buy once cry once is the motto to that iPad question. I’ve learned it the hard way over the years.
One reason why I switched to iOS was actually because of the aesthetics. I just like the symmetrical bezel WAY better and in general all the details Apple cares about like the rounded corners always match everything - even in software when you open an app or whatever and the rounded corners of the window perfectly matches the rounded corners of the display. Stuff like this always gets completely overlooked on Android.
It wasn't the main reason but it was one reason.
Ahem, erm, new to the podcast scene. Hi. Question, 05:11, what's the name of the podcast and/or episode? Searching "Reply All, Long Distance" ain't yielding much (plus, can't verify whether indeed it's the episode Marques is on about)
I understand what you mean about everyone has a phone case that covers up the colorway of your phone. In my case though I use Clear style cases that display all of the phone or certain parts like the back glass.
So what color the phone is, is actually important to me. I also know some people who actually don't use cases on their flagship phones. Actually several tech channel creators I watch don't use cases on their Samsung or Apple phones but they do put a Sapphire/Tempered Glass screen protector on them so if something ever does happen they don't ruin the screen.
Before the big update in January, I didn't really have any huge problems with the Pixel 6 Pro. Battery life was a bit 'meh', but after I switched the network preference from 5G to LTE, it got better. I'm on Fi, so I had to do that via Safe Mode.
Well, after the big update, 5G was back on. I can go into safe mode and switch Fi back to preferring LTE, but upon rebooting to normal mode, 5G is enabled again. That will suck down about 36% of my battery in 24 hours, and I'm mostly at home, connected to my WiFi network.
11:40 it's funny because I went for the smaller Pixel 6 mostly because of the color options available (even tho I skinned it afterwards); so yeah design/esthetics is not a small point when it comes to buying electronics!
I ran into the network issue bug with my Pixel 6, which was annoying but it honestly was resolved fairly quickly. Outside of that, I've had no real issues with my phone.
Ik for me, I usually spend more for the “better” device because of at least one specific reason. I got the iPad Pro over the air because of 120hrtz. I upgraded to the 13 pro purely because the promotion displace and sierra blue color. Like they said, I’d rather spend more than to regret not getting the “better” device. Especially if I’m holding onto it for more than a year
120Hz is NOT a little spec upgrade...
It doesn't matter how good your phone/pad is if you can't see it being faster/smoother.
Apple devices are great but having their non pro models 60Hz is basically a scam to make you buy the pro.
All 250$+ Xiaomi phones and pads have 120Hz yet the iPhone 13, a whopping 700$ phone, has 60.
That's why I got the Xiaomi Pad 5, for the love of it, I'll never spend over 1000$ just to get the 120Hz iPad when the 300$ iPad is crap and the Xiaomi Pad 5 exists for the same price.
Getting 4 speakers, 120Hz 10 Bit IPS display and a great SD860 processor to drive them is enough for 99% of the things I want to do with it.
The only thing I can't do is use the beloved GarageBand.
But as a bonus I can use RUclips Vanced to have an adVanced youtube app but without the ad and enjoy great file management and file transfers.
I was also an android user about 7-8 years probably until I made the switch on 25th December 2021
I had pixel 6 pro
And I have never faced any problems with it...
It's works just fantastic
Just bought a pixel 6 (switching from an iphone XR) and so far I have to say I love it, especially for the price
I feel like they built the pixel 6 really well because the speakers are really good, the cameras good, the screen is really nice and the phone just overall feels really good. But then they just completely messed up when they were programming the UI on the phone and kind of ruined what would have been a really good phone.
As someone in healthcare, it's so bizarre when someone says, "now that COVID is over...."
Have a P6 because of Marques videos about them before all of the bug issues, however I personally haven't had any major bugs. I don't know if the majority are like mine, or if I got lucky, but the P6 for me has been enjoyable to use and at a great price in my opinion.
To this day I carry Pixel 2xl as my secondary phone just for clicking photos. Still happy with the quality of photos (for Instagram) as I feel advancements in camera quality have been incremental (law of diminishing returns) relative to Pixel 2 generation. It's very sad Google has stopped security updates support as my pixel 2xl hardware including battery are still going strong!
I just got rid of my pixel 2xl after having it since it came out. It started to randomly shut down and make a loud noise and freeze up. Other than that, it had worked perfectly for me. I now have the pixel 6p and haven't had any issues so far.
I'm still abusing the original pixel! Replaced several broken screens on it but this thing is a champ!!
You're such a great team guys 🤩🤩🤩 LOVE your videos
I like your streaming. I got the Pixel 6 last year. The software updating has made the phone a lot of user-friendly. Sometimes my one hand is dusting, so I use another hand to unlock the phone. I think I should pair a watch with my Pixel after I read other people's comments,
The question about aesthetics was really good. I’m looking to buy a mac, probably don’t need the 14” power-wise but the either of the 13” ones have huge bezels. So for the aesthetics plus some other future-proofing benefits, I’d go with the 14. Not totally aesthetics but it factors in for sure.
I still get google assistant popping up at the weirdest moments and doing random things in search and the phone gets super hot, very quickly.
I have the pixel 6 Pro. It has been just about perfect from day one. Not dismissing other issues people have but I think it's important for people to hear positive feedback amidst all the negative stuff. If MKBHD had a pixel that had zero issues then there would likely be more positive coverage.
Loved this podcast.... 😂💙✌🏼
I asked my sister to pre-order P6 (no carrier) in US and then send it to India.
I absolutely loved P6 and no issues so far.
Hey guys. I really enjoy your podcast content on YT. I was wondering if you guys publish on Google podcast as well? I do not use Spotify
Just look them up
I'm using PIXEL 6 pro for a month, mine is working so perfectly no issues whatsoever.
I have the Pixel 6 Pro from October and never had major issues with mine. It looks like Marques's Pixel has the most number of bugs 😀!
Mine has the same issues as Marques's, I think it might have to do with carriers, I ordered a 6 pro from Google, for some reason it didn't ship, I got the pixel buds I ordered with it, but not the phone, so I vent to Verizon and bought it unlocked, and so begun the nightmare. Maybe it's just me but every time someone says they have no issues it turns out they ordered it straight from Google
@@ernestwarhead4144 I did ordered it straight from Google indeed 🤔! You point may be valid.
@@ernestwarhead4144 I ordered the P6P from Google and have had the same issues as Marques. Slow fingerprint reader (pretty much everybody reports), System UI crashes, battery drain worse than my $300 Motorola work phone. I'm not even a power user and these issues happen to me daily.
@@AnnoDominiAudio oh wow, so it just sucks, and yes, the battery, glad you mentioned it, that's one of the reasons I bought it, I have a Galaxy S10, I've had it for 3 years and the battery is not the same, it's bad, I would say I get twice the screen time with the pixel, that's 3 on the galaxy and 6 (not always) with the Pixel. And I get waaaaay less stand by with the pixel, I have to leave it charging over night or it'll be dead by morning. I'm talking about 76% battery drain by "Mobile network", measured by the phone itself
Got the P6P in November. Got the latest build (Jan 2022) and the only minor issues I had seems to be all gone. Even the fingerprint sensor got faster. So, I've nothing to complain about.
ditto
My Pixel 6 has been fine since the day I got it so i don't know what you're talking about!
I have 6 and it was almost perfect even before the update, now it's absolutely fabulous, especially battery.
Tbh I think pixel 6 issues are allot of android 12 cause even on my 4xl issues that I never had before started popping up. I think android 12 isn't playing well with tensor which is weird cause youd think that'd be priority.
It proves the Tensor chip was all marketing.
Samsung runs Android 12 much better even with their One UI skin on top…. Yet Google can’t? Epic fail. They took a page out of Samsung’s book and marketed the chip to seem like a wannabe A-series Apple chip by dubbing it “our own chip”.
@@Johnnygga okay there apple fanboy from the jump it's been marketed as an AI focused chip. Have you watched speed comparisons ? Tensor actually beats out or ties apples A15 in everything except video rendering benchmarks are useless be gone with your fanboyism first iteration chips are gonna have issues to be ironed out I'll save my criticism until the issues persist with the next iteration of tensor
@@ShakeNbake9106 Tensor is just an Exynos. Sorry to burst your bubble.
@@Johnnygga no it's built on the same base but it is a very different chip itself I get what you're saying though. but it has different core makeup having two X1 cores etc etc the modem could be upgraded next year I think that's needed but we'll see which direction they take it I want tensor to succeed bc the android chip set market has been stale for years with almost zero innovation I like what mediatek is doing
@@Johnnygga Let's ignore all of the features that are exclusive to this SMARTphone thanks to the tensor chip.
had standard pixel 6 from day 1, very few bugs, sometimes my most recent app doesnt open when switching between apps, but thats it. Actually switched because I was tired of things not working correctly with Xiaomi devices. With google I feel comptabillity is good and updates are constant. Happy customer
I have the Pixel 6 and have suffered from many bugs from the December update, some I can recall, but I just remember being constantly annoyed by the phone, as I hate when technology misbehaves. After the January update the major bugs have been fixed, and I'm not ever annoyed by my phone anymore. So I'd say it's fixed :)
Am I the only one here who doesn't listen to music during workouts?
It just bothers me when I'm trying to focus so I listen to music when I'm trying to relax. It's more of a leisure activity for me.
Pixel 6 pro has been perfect for me. No issues whatsoever. Unlocked version, 128 gb black model, TMobile esim, Verizon sim. Everything works just like my old s21 ultra, iphone 13 pro max, and OnePlus 7 pro. Love,love,love scam caller answering system, and it also waits in line for me until a human answers. Enjoy it's quality and voice recognition is like no other phone. I only watch RUclips reviews to see the products looks, but never rely on reviewers comments. The minute a video is monetized, everyone has a reason to be bias. Rather, buy the product from a store with a good return policy record. I do home Depot, Amazon, bestbuy, and Walmart, try it, and return it if it's not what you want. Never had an issue returning stuff within the return period window.
I have Pixel 6 pro since early December, camera is amazing, I especially love the quality of the 4x zoom camera. I have constant issues with Bluetooth connection with Pixel Buds. I have to restart the phone couple times a day just to connect PIXEL BUDS to PIXEL PHONE. One would think, that they would have that sorted out.
I had the same issue!!!
I've had the same issue
I haven't had any major issues with my P6 Pro. The only issue I have is a slight drop in cell signal. Still have cell signal, just gets slightly slower but other than that, no issues. I had way more issues with my S21 Ultra when updated to Android 12 than my Pixel 6 Pro.
It never ceases to amaze me how I NEVER have these issues 🥴

Thanks man
Colors for cars are definitely one example where people will spend a LOT of money purely for aesthetics!
Pixel Pro 6 user here no problems on my end - most recent update gave me one weird driving experience on Android auto - other than that, all good here 💪
I wish the front camera on my 6 didn't look like a 2008 laptop webcam.
I have used any phone made by Google to date, currently using the Pixel 6 Pro. Zero issue, very useful features making my work easier (especially the ability to copy text and dial phone numbers right from the camera and recently the ability to schedule a text message to be sent at a later time) and excellent pictures. What else do we expect from a phone?
Best phone I've ever had, came from a OP 8 Pro, and I've never had issues, buttery smooth
3:28 "when covid stopped" When is this recorded? 2025?
I've had no real issues with my pixel 6 besides minor bugs like Picture in Picture bugging out with RUclips. But I've had this issue with other Android phones so doesn't seem to be pixel 6 related. Phone has worked flawlessly otherwise with no crashes or system breaking bugs. Came from a Samsung S9 for reference
"during covid"
Talking about it like it's gone😂
The pixel 6 is a beast. I have no issues, best phone i have ever had. These guys must be using different phones.
I've had the P6 pro since launch. love it, no issues. not sure where all the criticism is coming from. seems like most people in the comment section agree.
I think the Pixel issues people are experiencing are because Google doesn't have a cache cleaner like Samsung's _Device Cleaner._ I find that as long as I clear my cache at the first sign of a system stutter, I'm fine.
good point
Got the Pixel 6 after the January patch. No issues apart from the less than average battery life. I'm getting 3-3.5h SOT daily. It gets through the day just fine but sometimes on heavier days I need to top off before ending, just a bit annoying. Hope it gets better with the AI.
I have had the P6P since launch with minimal issues. Especially not the issues described here. I have actually had a good experience. 🤷♂️
All these people stating they are having issues with the fingerprint scanner, like what? Just register your fingerprint while the room is dark and gently press the scanner, no squeezing the F out of it.
I really wonder what the usage is for other people cause I have had no major issues whatsoever with my Pixel 6 Pro. Aside from not realizing to turn off Audio Zoom while at a concert causing my audio to be blown out in the video recording. So far I'm enjoying the hell out of my Pixel 6 Pro and will continue to use it for the next few years.
My Pixel 6 experience got worse after the updates and finally gave it up yesterday. I got it right at launch after so long on an iPhone, but just in the last few weeks it has continued to drop previous Bluetooth profiles (and can't recognize them any longer to add them back), Android Auto stopped working as well. This coupled with IG crashes, the front facing camera being soft, inconsistent audio when recording video and front facing video being sub-par, finally had me eat a loss and go trade it in for an iPhone 13 last night. I miss a couple of things, but I devalued simplicity and reliability for something new.
Podcasts: listen to them while doing your chores; tidying, washing up, walking the dog gardening etc. Soon you'll want to do your chores
I have the pixel 6 pro, so far it’s been amazing and the camera is perfect. The only issue is that sometimes my thumb doesn’t scan or it’s a while to recognise it
same
The Pixel 4 is the greatest phone i ever owned , had note 9 , many iphones , rocking the pixel 4 for 18 months
I have been using the Pixel 6 for more than 2 weeks now. Overall, I am happy. But there are some issues: 1. Every normal picture (not portrait, but a closer picture of an object) is blurred towards the edges and it takes time to load the picture. Every time the latest picture takes time to load, shows blurry in the beginning before loading completely. 2. Have some troubles with google assistant too, if the phone is locked and if camera open is attempted by talking to Google, it is just loading and the screen won't go away. 3. Speaker volume during calls is very less, compared to other phones. Any suggestions to fix these, please respond.
I listen to podcasts in same exact moments as Marques👏
Great podcast 👏🏿
It’s hard to discern between people in the comments that ACTUALLY have zero bugs, or people that are just casual phone users that aren’t on their phone much and don’t really pay enough attention and/or are too dumb to actually notice them. Same goes for the “my battery life is incredibly good” comments - which heavily conflict with what I’ve heard about the Pixel battery life. I don’t know how many of these people say that but aren’t on their phone much during the day. I was going to buy a Pixel 6, but I’m going to hold off on it for a while to be safe.
Eh, I've been using my Fold3 and Pixel 6 Pro on and off for the past few weeks and I must say, I really enjoy the Pixel experience the most on Android devices still.
I bought the Fold because I'm a full time student and work 12 hours shifts at Amazon - it just makes sense to spend $1,700 on a phone/tablet in one rather than carry a phone, iPad and other devices around with me all the time.
I still absolutely hate the Samsung phone experience. I don't want their phone app or messaging app. I don't want Bixby. I don't want their UI (even though it has gotten a lot better). I like having Google news appear when I swipe to the far left.
There's just so much CRAP I have to go through and delete, hide from the launcher, tweak around to get just a decent Android experience. Pixels... just work.
I agree
That man interrupts Marques more than RUclips ads
The only issue I had with the 6 Pro was not switching to Adaptive Charging when placing it on the Pixel Stand 2, which was fixed in the update. That wasn't a deal breaker to begin with.
Don't know why people have issues with the phone.
I bought too a Google pixel 6 pro thanks to these guys and I got absolutely no bug I just have to learn how my new 4 day phone work
Good example of the aesthetics Vs functional purposes is the Pixel 6 Pro again.
The 6 pro is only available in black for 256gb of storage. I prefer the white, so now I've gotta decide between aesthetics or the better storage.
My Pixel 6 has been amazing. Even the fingerprint scanner got better. Not great, but you definitely forget about it eventually. It works 8/10 times
Bought my 6 the 1st week of it's release in October. Only MAJOR problem I had was reception dropped under ground when commuting on BART (Bay Area's train) and on NYC Subway (also underground) during my trip in mid November. But what's weird, it kinda fixed itself (reception issue) when I got back from NY. No longer issues underground on BART. Never updated my 6 until this pass 215mb January update...I know weird. But overall, the 6 been fine...and YES, the fingerprint has improved and is as responsive as my old Pixel 3 back fingerprint.
Thanks for not telling me about the title of the video until a year in
Ive had virtually no issues with my pixel 6 pro tbh... Idk what happened to yalls but mine is amazing.
Its gotten a little better. Still experiencing crashes. Reception got better.
