When testing 5g speed/connection it never actually shows 5g (only LTE) on tests which seems sketchy.. I had connectivity issues before having the device replaced, and have yet to receive the December update. Overall the performance is great and for the first time in 10 years I've fully switched to the Android ecosystem, and am highly surprised and satisfied with the switch.
Just had it for only a few weeks, but I love it! The camera and the erase feather is fantastic. I'm still finding out new features. I've always had a Google Android phone, so some of changes on the Pixel 6 Pro need getting used too. But so far I'm 100% satisfied.SYM
So far so good, a little rough getting everything set up again and adapting to some of the new formats/arrangements but mostly smooth. Good upgrade from the 4XL for sure. Haven't really got to test the camera to see how much, if any improvement is there but Google pixel hasn't failed me yet.
I am a faithful Android phone user. I tried an iphone once and I had a hard time getting to know my phone but I had to go back to my Android. Recently I changed to a Google phone. I know it's still an Android phone. The Google Pixel Pro Six is like having a tiny robot in your hands. This phone can literally use itself for you. I can ask Google to do some amazing things that I find it annoying but Cool. I say try it you may like it. It's an amazing experience.
Title says it all. To those coming from a 2018 phone or older like the Google Pixel 3, the Pixel 6 Pro is going to feel like an amazing upgrade. It'll have all of the software and hardware upgrades an older generation phone user would look forward to. However, even after so long there are still some hardware features missing such as a dedicated fingerprint scanner. As a user of both the Pixel 3 XL and a Note 20 Ultra, I've come to find that the Pixel 6 Pro doesn't meet the standards it should have for a flagship phone. The battery remains unreliable, the adaptive screen brightness leans too close to dim and the network connectivity issues are simply unacceptable. The phone continues to feel like it was launched with the intention of the end user to collect the data that Google needs to find tweak the phone. After all, Google is the master of software and that gold standard holds true still with the Pixel 6.
On paper, this phone has every spec you could ask for in an attractive package, but it needs a LOT of work. So many points seems glitchy and Google claims that the December update will fix many things…except for there has been no December update yet either. Google really needs to execute at a higher level if they want to be a contender in the smart phone Market. But like most of Google’s offerings, the 6 Pro seems to be a “beta” product and the End User gets to be the test bed.
