It a good phone thus far but I have encountered a handful of bugs and/or flaws that are a little discouraging. This said I'd still recommend it because for the most part they can be fixed with software patches.
I'm coming from the pixel 4 XL and I love itAlthough i really really miss the face unlock feature this is a great snappy phone. Love the cameras. Except the front camera it needs to improve I take way more selfies than i thought. Other than that im enjoying this phone so far
I knew I wanted to own this phone. The screen looked beautiful, the specs were just right, and the price was unmatched! I really liked it. Unfortunately coming from a Samsung this phone had some high expectations. The Google assistant is ok. But not amazing. I find myself having to speak at an higher volume when saying "hey Google." Its loud enough that I feel like a crazy person using this feature in a crowd. I just avoid it all together. The "routines" are also not a great feature. They require voice commands to activate or certain times. I wish they were based on location like the "Bixby routines." Now to the huge disappointments. The first one. The finger print sensor. Just wow. I wanted to return the phone primarily for this reason. It's bad, really bad. And the "update" they sent did nothing to reduce the problem. The second. The charging. This one truly boggles the mind how Google allowed this. Please read all the articles about it. Shame! 2 plus hrs to charge!!! SMH......
I've owned the Pixel 1 XL, 2XL, 5, and now the 6 Pro. The 6 Pro is my favorite by far. It's a big improvement from the 5. Better cameras, screen, speakers, and overall just a smoother experience. I have yet to take a bad photo with this phone. It's incredible. Spec-wise it is the best Pixel to date. You really feel it when using it too. But it's not perfect. There are some software issues with Andriod 12 that need to be worked out. The fingerprint reader has been awful. Makes me miss the older fingerprint reader. The battery is just ok, not the greatest. It will last me the whole day with standard use, but the Pixel 5 would last multiple days with similar use. I am hopeful they can make some software updates to really make the phone a true flagship. But overall it is a very solid phone with an excellent camera system. I am happy with it.
I traded in my Pixel 3a xl. I normally do not trade phones unless it breaks. I read many good articles and purchased the Pixel 6 pro. I so far have not been disappointed. Google provides updates to their phones and that is a real bonus. I was updated to 12 before I switch to the 6 pro. I haven't had it long but I can say so far it's excellent. I keep mine in an OtterBox case and hopefully this will also last 5 years.
I have used all major manufacturers of flagship cellular phones and I have had Pixel phones in the past, the smoothness and user-friendly experience is second to none! Android 12 is truly the pinnacle of OS! Great job.
Coming from a pixel 3a XL and Pixel 5, I have to say this one feels like it's worth the money. Not that the others weren't, bit this phone feels more premium. It feels solid and smooth. I enjoy the translate feature built into the system software, as it's helps translate with messages. Battery life is pretty good. Love the huge screen with the 120 hertz refresh rate. Android 12 is buggy at times and needs ironing out, but all in all, it's nice.
