    Yes, waiting for the 6a to replace my 4a5G. Kinda disappointed there is no 3.5mm jack. I still use my wired ear buds quite a bit. Looking at the 6a mainly for two reasons, physical size and price. Very excited for the new Google watch as well!!

    I think if they would have priced it at $399 they would probably sell a lot more. I love my current Pixel Buds and I'm looking forward to the new one. I have the 6 and I'm looking forward to the 7 Pro.

  • @NotTheAverageGamerz
    @NotTheAverageGamerz 2 года назад +6

    With deals and everything you can get a pixel 6 for the price of the 6a. Plus the 6 has the better camera, bigger display, 90hz refresh rate, wireless charging, faster fast charging, and slightly bigger battery. So if you can find a deal on the 6 I would say go for that. I think the 6a would be a better deal if it started at $399 though .

    I'm still using a Google Pixel 4a, so I'm looking forward to upgrading even though the phone suits my needs just fine - long battery life, updates still continuing, live transcribe, Google Home interface, etc. For someone who is hearing impaired like myself, the live transcribe feature has been an absolute Godsend.

  • @VincentGroenewold
    @VincentGroenewold 2 года назад +2

    Oh, this is just in time. I want to switch (again) to Android, but am seeing the Pixel as the only real contender for what I want. I can't really wait as my iPhone is having an issue (4 y/o already) and the 7 will very likely be more expensive then the 6 is right now. 500-550 is my max for a phone, even though I could pay 1000+, I just think that's ridiculous. :) The Pixel watch got me interested, until I learned it was tied to the phone just as much as my Apple Watch is to my iPhone, this actually made me want to switch more. So not going for that one.

    I keep my hardware around until it breaks which means my home these days is full of old tech. I get to appreciate the moment when buying something new. Unfortunately with phones, it's not easy to replace the OS as other hardware for many. Especially Apple's hardware. I had an old Acer chromebook that stopped getting support but it was still good. I installed Coreboot to replace the bios and Fedora. It's still going strong as a nice Intel i3 laptop now. Would be nice if we could retire old phones for a different usage with another OS.

    I want AR in glasses or similar form factor so bad. Using Maps and live view is fine but it would be so much better integrated in glasses. Same with translate. In EU for 3 months right now and use live view and translate daily. Having it in glasses would free up hands and make use so much more seemless and easy. Together with a watch could be a killer app

    Shannon, when reviewing some products, do you buy them or are they shipped to you for reviewing? If they are sent to you, what do you do with them after, do you have to send them back or do you get to keep them? If you do get to keep them, where do you find a place for them? If space is an issue, thought about gifting them to, let's say your viewers? When I say your viewers, what I really mean is to your longtime fan! When I said longtime fan, I really mean the old days before your move! When I say be.. me, I mean me! Hope all is well with you!

      I include a disclaimer if a product is sent to me for review. Sometimes they are, sometimes I buy them. Like I bought the pixel 6, but teampixel sent me a 6 Pro to review. I keep all phones for at least a year for comparisons. Anything I've bought I'll resell to recoup my finances. I also gift them to friends and family.

I have done a fair bit of research & I am waiting on the Pixel 7. I am *hoping* that I do not regret this decision.
