    My experience with the pixel 6 has been fantastic! I never had the battery issues some people mentioned, I have yet to kill it in a day. I haven't had any issues with the bugs some people had, the one thing that was a letdown has been the fingerprint scanner because it's a bit slow, but I haven't had as many issues with it as some people talked about. The camera is amazing! The performance has been fine, I haven't ever been left wishing for a more powerful chip. I love the screen too!

Samsung is high on the ladder up there with (certain , it's inconsistent year by year) other android phone manufacturers. Bad haptics tend to feel like flicking a tin can and they sound like a buzzing insect, which is typically considered terrible. I hope that clears it up somewhat

    My Pixel 3, that I really loved, died the other day. I had had it for years and hadn't been planning on upgrading any time soon. I hadn't done any research, but when I saw the Pixel 6 at the store I bought it because of how much I liked my Pixel 3. It's taking more getting used to than I expected, but I think I'm going to be very satisfied with it once I get used to it.

      I was super impressed with the 3 and how it still runs Android 12, I was out a few weeks ago with an Apple user and he was like "wow it's so fast!".
      The 6 to me anyway didn't take much to get used too, and no bugs to speak off.

By far the best Android phone for the price (650 euros or 450 euros if you count the Bose headphones). I wasn't sure about the front fingerprint sensor but it got better and now I don't mind. Cameras are top notch. No battery issues. No need for super fast charging (better for battery). Never had connectivity issues. Love the size.

      Not likely according to Phone Arena "Google Pixel 7: everything you need to know". "A few years earlier, the Pixel 4 and 4 XL had Face Unlock....we do not expect to see 3D Face Unlock in the Pixel 7 series. Instead, the beset we can hope for is simple and less secure, 2D image-based face recognition like on most other Android phones out there."

    Absolutely love mine, it's been near flawless for me since day one. No Bluetooth issues, signal issues, no droped calls, battery is phenomenal at 10 hours average. I charge once a day or the morning of the other day. 90hz is very smooth and I'm well used to it and can't use a 60hz by choice anymore. The camera is chefs kiss, love Google's processing. I will say I miss a telephoto lens though the pro didn't justify the gap for me. Haptics are top tier, speakers are great but not the best, it doesn't sound tinny when the volume is cranked so that's a point for me. Display is good but leaves a bit to be desired tbh. I wish the bezels were a bit smaller and screen was a smidge brighter too. Auto brightness is really disappointing tho.
    Pixel 6 speech to text is unmatched although it doesn't get it 100% due to our accent but it's really impressive.
    My main issue with this phone is HEAT. In a tropical country like mine this phone gets hot very quickly and cools down very slowly. It's constantly lingering in the 40°C territory even when I'm not doing anything much.

    I live in a warm country where the temperature reaches 30°C - 35°C everyday. The only problem I hate about my Pixel 6 Pro is the Google Photos app performance. It is way too slow & buggy. Especially after a massive photo shootout with my friends. And the device heats up.

  • @sloane5
    @sloane5 2 года назад +14

    I've had a p6 pro since january now and I am a huge fan. As my first pixel I am very impressed, especially on the software side. I find that it tends to lack on the hardware side though unfortunately. There are a few prevalent hardware problems with this device, but the two that have given me the most trouble have by far been the battery life and temperature. Living in texas, most of the year the weather tends to lean from hot to very hot. Living in a hotter climate absolutely affects the performance of the pixel, especially on top of the fact that they already have a known track record for overheating. This overheating issue in addition to the already hot climate can lead to many huge issues, ranging from performance to battery life, to even charging times. When the phone overheats, the framerate might tend to randomly dip. The battery tends to drain faster. And trying to charge the phone while overheating will result in increasingly slower charging rates. That is, if you even manage to get the battery percentage to go up at all.
    Because of this, if you live in a warmer part of the world and are considering getting a pixel 6 or 6 pro, it might be worth your time doing a bit more research on these problems. To me, everything else about the phone makes up for this problem. But that isn't to say I've been left very inconvenienced and without a charge many times in the last few months, especially now that it's getting hotter outside.

Google really should have just delayed the launch until about the March update. That's when the device finally started feeling like where it should have been from the start. Most people are more interested in how a device age is rather than whatever the new device comes out.

    I don't have one (S20+, £385.00) but so many of my friends do, and they cannot stop raving about it. When I've had a go on their phones, I'm mightily impressed with the software, the performance, smoothness etc. And damn, it's a good looking phone!
    None of my friends have experienced the issues that have been mentioned.
    My S20+ may well be my last Samsung phone, I'm very, very happy with it - rooted, running custom rom (A12.1) - but the 6 & 6P are so much better.
    Looking forward to the release of the 7 Series - but am more than happy to wait for the 8 Series as I think that by then Google will have nailed it. Then I'll raid the piggy bank big time to get one.

It is basically a beta version of Android which is designed to maximize performance in large devices. Regarding the battery, give it some time for the adaptive battery to kick in. Mine was terrible, lasting 2 hours of screen time. After the update + waiting a couple of weeks I am getting 6 - 7 hours on one charge. I almost never need to charge it more than once a day. About the wifi problem, try changing the "mobile data always active" setting in the developers settings.

      IMO, its a hardware fault that they're trying to fix with software.
      The 6 is basically full blown Alpha mode (not even Beta) with how broken it is.
      Some people don't exp issues and are like; "I love my phone", but at the end of the day its bad QC, some are great, some are garbage, but ultimately it just has a weaker signal issue and bad hardware.
      Pixels in-general have been basket cases since the 3, all have hardware or software flaws.

    It's an ok phone. I am using the Pixel 6 Pro as my back up to my 13 Pro Max on my deployment. First thing I noticed was that the battery life was not even as close as the iphone, so it was a shock after being used to multi-day battery freedom. The phone itself looks gorgeous and so does the display but the constant dimming of the screen is annoying. Also the Bluetooth is definitely an issue, since it keeps disconnecting or instead of instantly connecting I have to go in and connect my device. Don't get me started on the fingerprint scanner 🙄 I noticed in direct sunlight it seems to have an issue with reading my thumb. The rest of the phone is... Just another Android phone, nothing great nothing bad 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Luckily, I always install Nova Launcher and the settings (which don''t include the Search Bar) were copied over from my previous phone. No need to root the phone, not that I'd dare to anyway! 😉😉

      As far as I'm aware it's pretty colour accurate with ∆ E's of less than 3 (not noticeable to the human eye) therefore the white point is less blue and more warm looking, However other devices do let you decide if you want to use a wide colour gamut that is more vibrant and stand out

    So fun that the worst part of this phone is really the rigid amoled display and no influencer actually mentioning it. This leads to green/pink and rainbow tinting in bright daylight and green tinting in dim lighting. I switched to 6 pro only because of this problem. It's not even "secret". Google did a price cut by using outdated screen-technology. The other fact that barely ever gets a mention is the buttery smooth vibration motor. This reads ridiculously, but this thing creates haptics that only get rivaled by iphones. Ive been using nearly all phone brands out there (ye, for reral, and I dont even own a youtube channel) and no other android phone is up to the pixel haptics. Everything else is in this video!

I love it. The size is better than I thought it would be. it's fast. the camera is excellent. Battery life is amazing. Have never killed it in a day. I think that at $599, you can't beat it. I like it more than a $1000 iiPhone 13 Pro. it's every bit as good as the S22 as well and that phone is $750?-$799 I got a deal so I am not sure what MSRP is. Either way, it's more than the 6.

    I'm overall quite happy with my Pixel 6 pro. But the problems I still have are:
    1. Text messages through cellular can be very delayed. Sometimes up to 30-40 mins! A huge no no if you text a lot (NBD for me I use wifi 99% of the time) or use this phone for work.
    2. The selfie camera over-processes photos in my opinion by a lot. Even when you check off "show photo as previewed". I will still see the processing happen once I click on it in my photos. It turns what I hope are nice, Soft selfies into HDR nightmares in some situations. Especially in Bright sunlight with my curly hair.
    3. Not sure if this is a messenger issue or a pixel issue, but in some calls I'm unable to pull down my menu. Instead of my menu bar pulling down the screen just turns black until I lift my finger. This is extremely frustrating, especially if you're trying to turn off Bluetooth so you can hear someone!!
    4. I have the pro version and I still find a fingerprint sensor not very good. This may sound strange, but if my finger is too moisturized or too dry it will not work. It has to be just right 🤣. I've kind of given up on it and just use pattern swipe. My fingers are always so damn dry 😭

    Nice experience video. I use a Pixel 4 so orange (the small European version) and wanted a new SmartPhone. In the Pixel 4 the speaker is defective. I decided to go back to a Pixel 4 XL of the last series. I was surprised by the brighter display, better sound when making calls. So Google has also minimally improved the hardware in the years. In addition, the following videos led to my decision "Pixel 4 XL vs Pixel 6 Pro in 2022! Don't...." und "Pixel 4 XL vs Pixel 6 speed comparison! Snapdragon 855 vs Tensor chip! Who will win?"
    After these videos, apart from the fact that the Pixel 4 XL is really nicer in white (imho), my decision was made. For $300, there's nothing better. And I don't have to deal with possible bugs.

      For me the best thing about the pixel 4 lineup is the face recognition that is soo much better than the finger print sensor found in the pixel 6 lineup, and the snap 855 is still powerfully enough for every day use. The only down size for the 4 and 4xl is the battery life which is horrendous for normal version and acceptable for the xl version.

      As a long-time pixel user, I'm also heavily considering moving on.

      They also age like sh*.
      Pixel's just seem to get worse and worse, the 1 and 2 were great phones, the 3 had hardware issues, the 4 software issues, the 6, hardware and software.
      Pixels have developed a fan-boy reputation similar to that of Apple or Tesla, and among this fanbase, they can do no wrong, its why there is so many people raving in the comment section.
      Or, they're just the ones who got the good phones, as googles quality control is garbage.
      Allot of people mention price, "But its $600", and?
      I can excuse a phone manufacturer for introducing a new feature and it needs to be ironed out unexpectedly, as a pixel fan, I've grown to adapt to things just being broken in my general everyday EXP, I had my DND broken for over a year on my 4, but whenever your phone can't do the basics, call, text, take pics, HAVE SIGNAL, you know, everyday things phones from the 90's have been able to do, then its clear Google can't make phones for sh*.

My son has one and he is constantly plagued with this issue. I turned to the community for help and it seems to be a huge issue with no clear resolution. With that said, I think the most recent update in 2022, March I think...might have fixed the issue. My son's phone was already up to date, so I had him clear the cache/data on the app and we are going to give it a week and see how it goes.
