Pixel 6 Pro is a lovely new phone.Cannot turn off 5G and I'm in a bad 5G zone so it sits and eats my battery.At this time Google has provided no answer for how to turn off 5G when I'm sitting in a 4G rich area. Not to mention I'm on WiFi and it's still fighting to get cell signal instead of use the WiFi available to it.
I like the phone. I was told to get a new one vs waiting the time for my Pixel 4 XL to come back from battery work. To me the phone is similar to the 4 XL, after the 4 XL Android 12 update I really see no difference in phone abilities. Here is my complaint. I have an Otterbox case made for the Pixel 6 Pro and the phone will not charge. However, if positioned just right, the phone will charge. This happens on any wireless puck/stand I use. Very frustrating, to the point I have thought about returning the phone. Google search indicated that Google finally acknowledged the problem and fixing in the December 2021 update. Until that update, I do not know if the problem will be fixed. Even without the Otterbox case, the phone didn't wireless charge properly. I should be able to place the phone on a puck/stand and it charge.For a flagship phone, I am not impressed; however, I have only had the phone for a week.
So far so good. I've only been using the phone for about a week, but it seems to be as good as advertised. Does everything I need it to and the battery holds up for a whole day of fairly heavy use. Great job Google!
I ultimately am enjoying the new Google Pixel. I'm adjusting to the swipe action vs having "buttons", and find myself getting frustrated while instead of navigating through an app end up closing it, trying to get back into it, overall go in circles and eventually do what I needed/wanted. I'm sure it's a learning curve.
