Great alternative to iOS

Having been with Apple since the first iPhone in 2007, the Pixel 6 Pro was the first phone to tempt me to even look at Android. I must admit, this has been an amazing experience switching. Everything i could do on an Iphone i can do on this Pixel, but even better. The amount of customization can seem overwhelming at first, but after a week, you begin to appreciate it. So many times i wished iOS would do things and it wouldn't. Now, I tweak a setting and it does that I need. I can not see myself going back at this point. Thanks, Google!
I love my Pixel 6 Pro, all about it is great, hardware and software, I have been a Samsung user for quite a while (Note series fan) but since Samsung seems to have moved on from the note I give google a shoot (I used pixel 2 before and loved it), this might be the best experience as a whole software and hardware so far, camera takes the best pictures I have seen on a cell phone so far, specially at night time.My only complain is the quality control, I got my Pixel with the left top corner metal edge not coated completely so it looks like I dropped the phone already it is not the biggest issue since I have the cover on all the time and that covers the edge, this is why I am giving it a 4 star review instead of 5.
Very happy with this purchase, upgraded from the pixel 2 XL and had a seamless transition, transferred all my info, contacts, and even wallpaper and custom notification sounds! 120hz on a phone is game-changing for scrolling and general snappiness. The new camera sensors and features are also fantastic. With all the pixel exclusive or at least pixel-first features I'd say this is the best android experience you can get!
Never had a phone so buggy. Bluetooth audio glitches, network glitches, battery problems, gets very warm almost hot just from browsing the web doing nothing CPU intensive. Very disappointed and thinking about returning it for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. This phone would be well worth it if it didn't have so many problems. It affects my daily life as my smartphone is a big part of most things I do.
It feels just like my Pixel 4XL. Sure, the screen's a little bigger, the zoom for the camera is better and it's a little faster.Overall, it doesn't feel like a big jump. Also, I've always used screen protectors, and the new built in fingerprint scanner becomes less responsive with the protection.The battery life is mediocre, perhaps as the adaptive battery picks up on the fact that I rarely use some applications it will improve...I would buy the phone again, I'm pleased I paid the same amount for double the storage with this phone vs my Pixel 4XL, but I'm not blown away and I'm a little disappointed that this is what we call a flagship phone... Maybe we are just plateauing a bit with smartphones because they've become "good enough", which is fair. I don't usually need "more" from my phone.I am glad the support life has increased, it's nice to know I won't have to buy the equivalent of a midgrade laptop every two/three years just to maintain security and software updates.
It's great on the digital side of things my only issue is that the screen is easily scratched. I honestly don't know how I scratched the edge of the screen on both the top and the bottom but otherwise its great. I've set up the double tap option to access my keep notes which I use quite frequently.
Always been a fan of Pixel devices, it all started with Nexus devices. I've had alot of phones, you can never go wrong with a Vanilla Android OS. For alot of reasons, no bloatware, no issues with user interface, latest Android updates, and so on. The Pixel 6 Pro has been an amazing experience to use. The Tensor chip gives a smooth and easy to use interface. Performance has been top notch. Camera is definitely competing among other high end devices. The screen is butter smooth and vibrant. So far, zero issues on my end. I love this phone.
