Great phone over all, good to average battery life, could use faster charging, and it gets a little warm every now and then. Amazing camera, great UI, and great performance.And it looks AMAZING.
The Pixel 6 pro is a definite upgrade from my Samsung S9 Plus. I love stock Android. Videos are better than the review said. The screens higher resolution is noticeable and really nice. Comparing it to a family members pixel 4a, it has a premium build That's noticeable. A true flagship. But doesn't get in the way of stock Android which is really amazing. The processor's fast and seems like it could do anything. Only downsides that I have, The fingerprint scanner is slow, it takes twice as long as the S9 plus fingerprint scanner. But better than the iPhone guys who don't have a fingersprint scanner. And the battery life could be longer. It's such a huge battery but still needs to be charged at the end of the night. I hope the slower charging battery will yield benefits in battery life at the end of use of this phone, My Samsung charge so fast, much faster but very much degraded at the end of its life.
(Written from the perspective of a Pixel 3 XL Owner upgrading to P6P).From the moment I opened the package the disappointment started. No power brick, just a cord? Minutes after powering on my entire hand is sweating from the heat this thing puts off. After going through the usual setup I come to experience the full extend of googles new and improved security with their behind the screen thumbprint scanner. It works maybe 30% of the time, and even when it does it's significantly slower than the old fingerprint scanner. Camera is fine, but so was the 3xl. Squeeze for assistant is gone and by default it hijacks the power button so you have to go through the notification tray...Pros:- 120hz is nice- Has google appsCons:- Expensive- Runs hot- Fingerprint scanner is slow (AND BLINDING) and you can't easily get the notification tray anymore with rear gesture.- Squeeze was removed.100% feels like a step down from the 3XL minus display, should have just gotten a Flip3.
I have owned almost every version of Pixel phone and they have always seemed to get better with each version. I skipped the Pixel 5's and went from 4XL to 6 Pro. So far the 6 Pro has been a great phone but the one thing I can't get past is the fingerprint reader on the screen. It rarely works on the first try and I don't know if its getting worse with the cold weather and my skin being dryer but I am constantly needing to use the PIN to unlock my phone. I am really missing the Face Unlock.
Everything about it, is phenomenal. Battery life is alright, I like that it adapts to my schedule. Although I wish it had just a tiny bit more battery life, it never really was an issue for my day to day. It's never died on me, and I'm a power user so that's impressive. Definitely recommend to anybody.
Much improved hardware and has a luxury feel. Android OS has always been good, so no complaints there. Best Pixel phone till date. Pros: Love the camera features (special mention: magic eraser). Cons: Fingerprint reader is slow and glitchy.
