I have been a loyal Pixel fan for many years, but this one is not as fantastic as older models have been. The touch sensors are pretty terrible, so it hardly ever reads my finger print or recognizes when I am trying to open the apps screen. The battery life is also terrible, lasting less than a day with regular use and takes hours to fully charge. The phone gets hot in your hands as well if you are using it beyond a few minutes. Overall I would say skip this model and keep your old phone until the next generation and hope this problems get fixed.
And my engagement with my pixel has been good so far as since day one. I'm a big Google Android fan and I always follow Pixel on my phone. I have always been pixel since Pixel 2. A couple of things that I wanted to fix is the adaptive icons and mostly related to the pixel launcher. The spacing between icons and at a glance widget is broken.
The pixel 6 is great in many ways: very fast, my password manager works very well with it, large enough for my eyes, etc. Where it fails miserably is:The new fingerprint reader on the glass (yes, I do have all of the updates). It takes much longer than my old Pixel 5. I would have loved to have face recognition (as originally planned) but that is not available for the Pixel 6 (yet?)The battery life is not that great. I would say it is on par with my old Pixel 5
