Pretty Good, not perfect, but close.

To begin with, I normally use a Samsung device, but I felt like this phone (pixel 6 pro) was the Galaxy note21 that never happened, so I decided to try it. I like it so far. The camera is awesome! Like awesome. It takes pictures of people in motion (as people are often in motion) and their faces aren't blurry! That's one thing I hate with Samsung phones. The picture is always blurry, because people move at the last minute. That said, I wish the battery was better. It doesn't last all day for me, and I'm not a heavy user. When on a call, the screen doesn't always turn off so I find my cheek hitting buttons, which is really annoying. The other thing is, I'm not a fan of the speakers on it. They have kind of a tinny sound, and being a pro phone I'd think it would have a better range. Also the screen dims too much, specifically when watching videos. I think these are things Samsung has down, if only they would work together... Lol. But I really do like this phone, and pixel pass is nice.
Out of all the pixels I've had, this one has the most issues out of the box. Back camera is amazing, front camera really needs updating. System operates pretty smooth, when it's not saying UI isn't responding. All of the pixels tend to run hot extremely fast. This one isn't any different. Ease of operation is amazing as always. Integrations with apps are much smoother than on iphone (I have the 13 pro max as well). Overall, just some small things that need to be fixed. I'm a fan of the fingerprint over the face id, but this one pops up on the screen and doesn't always work. It's also not working in apps (accepts the print but I still have to enter password)Sn: I wish a phone company would come out with the option to have the better camera on the front or some sort of mirror attachment you can purchase to see your image live. Tend to use the selfie camera more, so I can see my posing without as many mistakes and retakes.
After a week of cellular issues the Pixel 6 pro is going back for a refund. Missed calls, dropped calls ... Not worth it. Granted I use my phone mostly for picture and video use, am a working professional and can not tolerate the above... No help from Google support.The battery issue was the last straw (yes Google...Even with adaptive battery on, background apps forced closed) the battery charge would drop like a bad stock pick. Charge time is exceptionally prolonged.Going back to my Pixel 5 for now ...
I would for sure give this phone 5 star except a few glitches here and there. Not major. But it's software and I know it will be fixed eventually. Overall the camera is amazing, in low light, the viewer shows fuzz but when you take the photo it comes out crystal clear and gorgeous.I continue to go through the phone and find more and more features that I will gladly use to increase productivity. Awesome job google
Coming from a Samsung Galaxy line of phones for the last 5 years. This pixel is amazing. Android on this is amazing, it's so responsive and smooth. The camera is the best I've had on a mobile phone. I'm extremely satisfied thus far.
I just switched from the Samsung 10 after being a devoted Samsung user for years. Everyone I know always raved about their Pixel and I can see why now. I like the feel of the phone as well as all the dope Google features. Some people don't like the new gesture system but I love it. Takes a bit to get used to but once you do it's ezpz. The camera is absolutely 10/10 with portrait mode and other modes available to play around with. My only gripe (which are few and small issues) is that the native messaging app doesn't allow a swipe feature to delete messages. Instead, if you swipe left or right it archives it. Also, if you mute a group chat, you don't hear the notification sound but will still receive a pop up in the notification tab. I almost switched back to Textra messenger because of this, but the native messaging app has more features i take advantage of like the ability to search texts and separate it by pics, videos and even links within the thread.Other than that I love it!
