So I had the pixel 4 xl before and I'm not to mad about missing soni but the squeeze for Google assistant was my favorite and really set that phone apart from the rest for me. I also miss face unlock quite a bit, I think that you still should have have us some option for face unlock using the front camera. Especially sense the front finger print senser is seen part from the rest. All that is one thing I live is all the cameras on that phone the more I use it the more impressive it gets. But also protecting my phone is very important to me because I want to have this phone for we long as possible so not being able to have a glass screen protector really upsets me because the quality is just so much nicer. The rest of the phone is very amazing and slick, I am very impressed by the screen and the responsiveness of it.
I am still checking my new Pro 6 phone out. It is heavy, slimline, it has tense to freeze while typing. I did experience this with my Google 2. I was told that the old charger would not be compatible with Google pro 6, but it does. I purchased the wall charge it to download slow. The phone doesn't run hot as some have said in their review, you don't have to download any software to keep the phone cool again as some have subjected.
I bought the 6 Pro on the reviews of the camera, but I didn't expect it to be an unwieldy brick. The weight of the phone has caused numbness in my hand after normal use and the phones width makes one-handed thumb swiping almost impossible unless switched to the right hand keyboard that is does a poor job managing empty screen space. The fingerprint reader is horrendous. I've trained and retrained fingerprints, but it's rare for it to recognize me on the first attempt. There are often attempts that fail completely and I have to resort to pattern unlock. It also stopped functioning as a phone. After three days of use, the lower microphone stopped working completely. The improved camera resolution is ok, but I'm not impressed. The wide angle front facing camera was a nice addition, but overall I'm very disappointed.
I watched many reviews before ordering my phone and everyone was going on and on about the finger print scanner being bad. For some reason, I thought they were just splitting hairs. Now that I've had my phone for a few weeks, I can confirm that it is the only thing that bothers me about this phone. Other than that, coming from the Pixel 5, this one is faster, edits videos quicker, has wonderful haptics and is joy to use.
Another great Google phone. Upgraded from a 3XL and have to say this is everything that is was advertised to be. No issues with the fingerprint scanner which I was concerned about. Very happy with my purchase.
The new Pixel 6 Pro has been a pleasure. From learning the new steps, the ability to have and do so much more than my Pixel XL. Thank you for all the great upgrades.
