    I got my pixel 6 when it came out upgraded from Samsung s10. It's safe to say it's the best phone I've owned.

      I also had an S10 and bought a pixel 6. I find all the little software bugs really annoying. It's especially frustrating if a Google app doesn't integrate well with the phone. My favorite example is that RUclips doesn't reliably go full screen when you rotate the phone, and will often orient the video upside down. It's a nuisance that shouldn't occur. Every other phone manufacturer has figured it out, there's no reason Google's own apps shouldn't work seamlessly on their own phone.

Coming from an iPhone X the added focal lengths and brighter apertures make taking phone pics a blast. Compared to my real camera though the barely 12 mp resolution just doesn't hold up. Not even when looking at them on my phone. The detail in 100mp mode is way better but it sucks that there is no 24 or 36 mp downsampling because the actual detail it produces are no where near 100mp. Not even 50mp. So having 100mp files with 30mps of detail is just stupid.

    Interesting. I bought 2 Pixel 6 phones in January. The dealer had only one in stock, so I had to wait a couple of days for the second one, which I passed on to a friend. She has has no issues with hers, but mine has had no successes. At the advice of the telecom tech person, I did a factory reset on mine, and if anything, it got worse. It refused to mate with my car bluetooth, and even though I pressed "cancel" sixty or more times to stop its 10 second interval attempts, I finally had to shut it down to stop its incessant dinging. Now I just found out that somebody has been trying to text me for a day, but it wouldn't inform me of those! The guy drove for an hour to make sure I hadn't died! I like the camera, but it really isn't that much superior to my old Pixel 3XL, and the complete lack of performance in other areas renders it totally useless. It is such a dumpster fire that I will fire it in a dumpster!

    I bought my Pixel 6 on pre-order (there was a great deal in Europe on it, as you got free Bose headphones with it). I loved the phone, but I kept having signal issues. In spots with weaker LTE the signal dropped and never connected back, missed many calls, caused a lot of headache. I got it replaced, and it had the same issue (on February update). Eventually, after many emails, Google agreed to have it returned and got a full refund. But I am sad, because I love the camera on the Pixel and the vanilla Android experience. I got an S21 Ultra afterwards. It's a great phone and it just works - waaay better connection, never had a drop. But... I still miss the Pixel.

    Switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to a Pixel 6 Pro just in time for the March update, and it has been great so far! Only slight downside is the battery life but its expected since the iPhone's was ridiculous
    Also, I deleted Facebook a few days back and feel the whole phone running noticeably smoother overall so the initial jitteriness was probably caused by all the background bs its doing to track you

    Just wanted to throw my two cents in. I'm a reseller for T-Mobile, and I've noticed a few customers not getting 5G, myself included, despite the fact that your phone says 5G. Usually it comes down to an older SIM card. I had to replace mine as it was about 5-7 years old. It had been a long time. Maybe that's why at 8:30 you say you don't see any benefits. I had that same exact problem with my flip 3.

    Had the 6Pro for a couple months. Battery life has improved significantly. Med to heavy use and I get home with 20-30% still.
    My biggest gripe is the narrow ultrawide camera and the lackluster video. Not deal breakers at all. Awesome phone.
    I had an S10+ previously. Thing I hated most about that was how much Samsung would compress the hell out of images sent via sms, especially to iPhones. There are workarounds, but with my 6Pro, I don't need them. Now that Samsung comes with Google messages stock, I'm sure that complaint is a non-starter with the new Samsung S22 lineup.

    • @zac8670
      @zac8670 2 года назад

      Compressed images are largely at fault to cell carrier's, and I guess Google's for waiting so long. Google (and others) were pushing for carriers to get RCS handled so that we could all have a uniform upgrade. Carriers, being... well.. not people I'd respect, said no. So Google handled it.
      Similar story with iMessage to Android, the fault is largely Apple refusing to agree to a standard and agree with any sort of integration. Thankfully that's somewhat changing soon. I'm not a Google fanboy, but credit where it's due, and point fingers where they should be pointed.

The battery will drain from 100-15 in about 3 hours of moderate use. That last 15 will disappear in about a minute in a half, so when I get to that point I have to hurry to my charger. It takes about 5 hours to charge to full from that point, and you better not want to use it while you’re charging it because doing so much as texting will drain the battery as it’s on the charger. So my phone is unusable more often than not. I feel the same about not liking to see the battery under 50 and let me tell you it is hell.
