Honest and calm review without any lag, straight to the point. And as always aesthetics and quality of the video is top notch 🙌 Good luck for the future :)
Also let's talk about the snapdragon 898 scoring 3100 multicore after being on Android 12. It scored 3900 before. One reviewer noted his phones were getting lower scores after updating to Android 12. I mentioned Android 12 and apps weren't optimized yet. The article clearly mentions that Android 12 could be the reason. Let's touch on that as well 👍
I ordered the same skin combination. Along with matte white. I'll see whichever I like more 😁 Also, I love my Pixel 6 Pro. I used fold 2, 12 mini, flip 3 and 13 Pro this year. I love my Pixel 6 Pro more than all of them. I obviously sold/returned most of them. Keeping the Pixel and 12 mini (just love the size).
Remember you from the days of technobuffalo... Even watched your first video on the channel which was introduction on technobuffalo channel... You deserve much more subscribers... Absolutely clean and no nonsense review...Looking forward for more content from you... 👌
Watching this on my 6 Pro. First video of yours I've seen, but will definitely watch more. I actually love the curved screen on mine. It's great for swiping back. FPS is also pretty good. I'm off to the DBrand site to shop for an orange skin!
@@rafiqulislamshuvo9231 i don't know for display issues but it's laggy, doesn't act like normal phone, get hot easy,and charging very slowly. Nah i sell it and lost pretty much money. I can't believe that android works better on Chinese phones than on Google's who actually invented,crap
Mark, Great Video as always. Very refreshing and i only watch you for your cinematography and aesthetics. But you need to work on thumbnail. Thumbnail fonts suck. You should make bold and large fonts. Like verge.
I wonder how that Pastel Orange skin would look with the Cotton Candy case on the Pixel 6? Or for a deeper Coral-look, maybe the Pastel Red since the Cotton Candy case is pink anyways! Great video anyways dude. 👍
Cool video. It kind of reminds me of a Michael Fisher video, with the super clean editing, shooting style and the overall calm demeanor which just too rare on RUclips nowadays. Good job.
@Aman Bhardwaj Yes it does feel a little bigger to hold. I come from a 6 in LG V30+ and for me it's a little difficult to handle by one hand, but the phone is not heavy, just larger. and now with it has gotten a little heavier with a case on it.
I feel like the pixel will just get better with software updates. But that finger print reader is just straight trash. I'll keep my 5 for another year. Don't see any reason to upgrade yet.
That shot @6:25 is definitely the reason why I'm waiting to get the Pro. That's so good. I just wish they were more available because they're sold out everywhere. Soon though.
Ordered hours after the release. Hopefully I get it someday... shipping date has bounced around between November to December. Currently at December 8-9
I have the pixel and it only has 3 flaws and it's not the curved screen: 1. Fingerprint scanner 2. Front camera is seriously bad 3. Slow charging, it's slower than the iphone 13 pro max and not even close to 30w as advertised.
I like it because there's no face unlock and a slow and spotty fingerprint reader. It's so convenient not being able to get into my phone, especially when I need to respond to a message in a hurry and my hands are full. 🙄
Dam your P6 Pro looks gorgeous with that clean orange dskin back combined with orange wallpaper and dark mode!. Im not a fan of the curved screen either but i tried the P6 and the lower screen resolution and thick bezels turned me off. The P6 Pro screen just draws you in. Great review love my P6 Pro Stormy black!
Great video. I have the pixel 6 pro still not received any up dates for it since 5th November. IAM in England. Will there be up dates soon lol ??? Keep checking etc . Just says IAM up to date. Grr 😭 it all so needs up dates for camera portrait mode has artifacting around the cut out of the person . And lower light selfies etc need sorting very noisy pictures especially when the pixel 4 does better. 📸 Will software up dates sort all these issues do you think ???📸📸📸📸
Essentially it's a very good phone , despite some of it's bugs ( which appear to have settled down ) for it's price, it's a steal! Photos are superb, albeit they can have a slightly over sharpened HDR look. I'd say it's probably the best phone camera out there . My main criticism is screen brightness and overall screen quality on the pixel 6, it could do with being 100-200 nits brighter - both manual and auto brightness 🔆 despite the lackluster screen it is buttery smooth.
Thank you for a great Video. I got a lot about the phone and help me make a decision on getting the Pixel 6 pro. I have Pixel 4XL it time to upgrade. Love that D-brand skin. Did it stop the phone from being slippery?
@@marcochavanne I own the six but I have spend time with the pro and I can't stand the curve. It looks and feels bad to me. Also random question. why do you have both?
6 months later, the only complaint I have is the battery life is just OK. Definitely would have to plug in before 7pm. Also there is with certain apps like Snapchat that are just annoyingly laggy and janky. Definitely doesn’t run at 120hz in the app.
I returned my 6 Pro and went back to my OnePlus 8T. Yes, the camera is incredible but I was so annoyed with not having dedicated Wi-Fi toggle, losing alert slider, losing tap the screen to go to sleep and few other highly smart software tweaks offered on Oxygen OS. Pixel is a one-trick pony with the camera. I also don't like gestures. Google didn't put any effort into 3-button navigation, they are very close together, overly sensitive and I constantly get ghost touches. They're basically forcing you to switch to gestures which I won't. Having spectacular camera is not worth spending $1000, not when OP8T is plenty good.
Most games aren't optimized. The pixel 6 pro has a gaming mode where it can be put in high performance mode. Most games aren't optimized so it's grayed out or you only have limited settings. Not high performance mode. Touch on that!!!!
Google fucked up: Pixel 6 is a hollow, very reflective screen with no mid-frame for thermal dissipation. The phone heats up doing nothing and shuts down the recording after 10min on 4K60 because of overheating. The SoC has high latency and lags behind Exynos 2100 using more power. The modem is a battery hog compared to Qualcomm and the display is very inefficient from the very bottom tier of the Samsung technology. It can't reach the same brightness and uses a lot of power just for being on. The massive GPU performs the worst in sustained workloads because of the thermals so it's useless for gaming. The battery usage is below average because of the cheap and inefficient parts, but they also managed to price it aggressively. The thermals are the biggest problem with this phone and it's pretty much useless for anyone living in a hot climate.
I have never used Google phones, and i have been using Huawei P30 Pro since it released. Would you recommend changing to P6P? I thought about iphone 13 pro, but i have never used iphones before, and i really hate the UI. Thanks.
Hey can you please talk about the differences between the carrier versions and the unlocked version? I HATE the bootup splash screen that Verizon has on my current phone that blasts a "on full brightness" white screen for the whole world to see for 20 seconds. As well has the Verizon software.
"I haven't really had any issues with heating". It is proven in labs that the reason it is dogshit at gaming is because of heating issues, lack of efficiency and how bad Tensor is at that. And saying "it's not a gaming phone" as an excuse is ridiculous, it's a FLAGSHIP phone, it's suppoed to be able to game just as well as any other phone-,-
I think that's a per person thought process interestingly. For example when I hear or think of a gaming phone, I don't immediately think of Samsung, Apple etc. My thought focus is on Nubia RedMagic, Razr, Asus ROG, Lenovo Legion or the likes which a ton of people don't even know exist at times.
Android fans don't care about comparisons to crapple phones . They don't know about them and don't want to. Why compare to something they hate or care less about. ....dislike .
Tap to wake intermittently breaks. Switching between different lenses causes intermittent white screen errors. Finger print works 75% of the time. It's massive. The optical zoom is great when there's enough light otherwise digital crop kicks in from main camera. Battery seems fine. Magic eraser has disappeared getting the photos app. Review over
It does not go down to 10hz , only apple has achieved that , if that actually happen on the pixel the battery life would be on part with the 13 pro max, don't cap sir smart people watch your videos too
You mention that some things aren't fully optimized for Tensor yet... Is this a gamble? Should we go for something more established like the OnePlus 9 Pro
@@imbalancedstatus8824 Depends on how gen2 goes. I mostly want to know the performance difference, both CPU and GPU. Is it going to be a 25% increase between generations or will it be 60%? The jump from gen1 to gen2 should show the direction they are going in. Gen3 should then be more predictable.
Is it possible to proof /show how this LTPO display works After watching few reviews..the LTPO technology not work on s21 ultra,oppo find X3 pro...it is only 60hz or 120hz...never goes less than that
One this is for sure the Tensor chip is not in snapdragons class its definitly slower. Also I have experiences some terrible choppy calls with this phone. I returned my but I really miss the device becuase the camera was bananas. I got the xperia 1iii but that phone drove me nutz cause the camera sucks sucks sucks sucks. So I m getting a pixel 6 back
That skin is so rad! Definitely giving off Pixel 4's Oh So Orange vibes
Yep! Exactly why I made it a thing.
That's why I clicked the vid. Lol. Google did a good job with this design. They innovated and became different.

Awesome review! One of the best I've watched so far. Nice work!
I was desperately waiting for your video to come but anyways I bought a 6 Pro already. Good phone to be honest.

This was a great video to watch. New sub! I just picked one up and still have 10 days to make a final decision. It's beautiful.
Thanks for subbing! Feel free to watch my other Android videos 🙏🏼
I feel like the pixel will just get better with software updates. But that finger print reader is just straight trash. I'll keep my 5 for another year. Don't see any reason to upgrade yet.
Same... Keeping my 5 until the 7 comes out, hopefully with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner this time 🤞
Love my Pixel 6
Still the best Voice Over in the Game ❤️
That shot @6:25 is definitely the reason why I'm waiting to get the Pro. That's so good. I just wish they were more available because they're sold out everywhere. Soon though.
The Google store in Canada has them with delivery as early as mid December. Hopefully they restock them where you live.

Hopefully you get your pixel soon. Which one did you buy, I'm currently using the pixel 6.
I went with the pixel 6 over the 6 pro and I’m happy I did. Flat screen and battery is much better
how the camera photo video
@@RK1FX it’s good, and much better than previous video on pixels. But I still prefer the iPhone 13 pro and pro max for video.
Real question. Why did it matter what color you got if you were putting a skin on it anyway?
My 6 Pro is supposed to arrive by early next month. I wanted the 6 Pro over the 6 for the bigger battery and better front and rear camera setups.
Great presentation! Watching this video on my P6 Pro!
Nice review...would be nice to actually get the device to experience it...pre-ordered during the launch and still no phone...unreal
I got the pixel 6 for exactly the reasons you listed. And bar the fingerprint sensor, which is just ok, I love it.

It actually helped a bit. But there’s a couple of skins from them that actually feels grippier. Check out their Matrix skin.
