After 4 years away from Android and my last pixel, it feels good to be back. The interface is super smooth, the cameras are great, and the battery life lasts me all day! I could go on and on but I won't actually. If you're thinking about getting this phone, just do it. You won't regret it. Just make sure you get a case. This phone is slipperier than lube! I've seen it slide on "level" floors.
This phone is beautiful and sharp and I really do love it. My biggest issue is that once you apply a screen protector (one that is specifically designed to allow for fingerprint reading), the fingerprint reading no longer works. I even deleted my fingerprint and set it up again with the screen protector on AND turned on the enhanced fingerprint sensitivity in settings. The Pixel 6 Pro recorded my fingerprint with the screen protector on but refuses to recognize it when I use it to log in. I LOVED the facial recognition that was on my Pixel 4a and really wish Google didn't take that away in favor of a fingerprint login that doesn't work anyway.So I'm back to entering my pin or drawing a shape every time I want to use my phone, which is inconvenient after having gotten used to just putting it in front of my face.
I'm upgrading from a 2 year old Motorola g7 so I was easy to impress, but I really love the features of the phone, it's quick, the battery lasts all day, the camera is nice. The screen is very easy to read even with small fonts. My only wish, as an older user, would be some higher friction surfaces on the phone. Everything is pretty slippery to me with my essentially oil free hands now, so it would be nice to have some kind of surface that had some grit.
The biggest problem I've had with the Google Pixel 6 is telegram. When I have it hooked into my infotainment system and I get a notification through telegram and I'm on the phone it makes the phone go wonky The sound through it is not what it's supposed to be The voicees get all robotical.
I had high expectations for this phone. It’s got a great processor, chip, amazing specs. But today (beg of week 3), I couldn’t answer a phone call. When I swiped up to answer the screen went white and my watch said it was still ringing. The battery life leaves much to be desired as I’m not a power user and by the end of the night I’m already down to 20% (its not even 8p and I’m at 26%). There’s no face unlock which makes getting the phone out for a quick message, call, or google search take so much more time. The fingerprint reader lags and if there’s any drops of rain on the phone your fingerprint reader pretty much doesn’t work. What scared me tonight is that I tried to unlock my phone and all I saw was yellow lines (3 groups) running horizontally on my screen. I tried a few more times and the same thing happened. My phone then restarted I was at 28% battery. These little things makes me regret buying this phone and switching away from OnePlus. No charging brick no usb/aux cable.
