The new Google Pixel 6 pro is a beautiful phone that was very well put together. From the UI to the phone itself and how it looks with its two-tone colors to the new camera system computational and physical. This phone is almost perfect, however there are a couple problems. There definitely needs to be some updates. They're quite a few bugs of Android 12 that still stick out like a sore thumb, quite literally. The in-screen fingerprint scanner is one of the most inconsistent slowest in-screen fingerprint scanners I have used ever. It feels like I have to hold my thumb down really hard or really long in order for it to get through and sometimes I have to tap my thumb multiple times. I also wish that Google would at least give us the option to use face ID even if it is less secure. The final thing is that because Google had been using the same camera sensor for years. Their new computational software for photos isn't really needed anymore and it's still being a little overused.
I absolutely love this phone. It's gorgeous, screen is crisp and bright, and it's responsive. BUT I do have a few gripes: 1 - Notifications stick the clock in the upper left corner of the lock screen and as far as I can see there's no way to change that short of disabling notifications. 2 - I can no longer click the clock in the top bar to open the clock app...why? Removing a feature seems like an odd move. 3 - Two thumbs way down on the on-screen fingerprint scanner. I cannot stand the feel of plastic screen protectors. Bring back facial recognition or dedicated sensor please. Fortunately most (if not all) of my complaints could be addressed in soft/firmware. Hint hint Google ;-)Also Pixel Watch plsthx
So far I love this new phone. Very responsive, great sound quality, great camera and all day battery life. I would give it 5 stars if the finger print reader worked better or if it had facial recognition. I would definitely buy this phone again.
Loving this phone so far. Camera is amazing. Screen is amazing. I'm experiencing crashes but pretty sure that Android 12 issues rather than phone. Battery life is great considering I have it set at the highest resolution and highest refresh rate
(Previously owned a pixel 4)This is a great phone. The high points of the phone show what the hardware capable of, but it feels like it needs some polish to bring home.Pros:-Fantastic camera capable of great photos/videos-Great screen resolution and refresh rate-Highly responsive touchscreenHiccups:-Battery life seems to drain faster than the 4 in some applications but slower in others, and I can’t tell what the common factors are-it’s hard to predict what the final processed photo will look like before taking a picture. -fingerprint login is finicky (slow/inconsistent). I need to figure out if facial recognition login is still available, otherwise I may make a duplicate fingerprint for my thumb to increase the odds of successI’m still getting used to the size, but I don’t want to list it as a pro or con since I know what I paid for before I bought it. This review is my take on “things you won’t know until you own it”
I've been using my Google pixel 6 pro for a week now and I am impressed. Anything I do with this phone is great works flawlessly. Pictures? Great. Speakers, screen, one handed use all great with this phone.
