I wanted to give this a 3.5. I want to say this first and that is that the best part is the camera, which gives you a more realistic depiction than One UI does and done always warm the photo up like iOS does. I also always enjoy google assistant and the haptics. Overall if we compare to iOS and One UI, Android 12 is clean, but overall seems very bland. The overhaul gives the impression that it does more than it does but really it doesn’t offer anything more or different than iOS or One UI and it doesnt do much to make you feel like it is “yours”. It seems smack in the middle of these two, yet the UI isnt as intuitive as iOS, but feels less of a customizable experience than One UI. Im not sure at the moment who I’d recommend this phone to, but I would encourage folks to try it out.
Messaging apps crashes 98% of the time when creating messages I have to reboot this phone at least 8x a day. Ability to move between apps is very unreliable, and the phone hangs during different apps and just goes blank at least 4x per day. Very frustrating piece of crap.
The Pixel 6 Pro is an exceptional phone. The ONLY complaint I have is I wish there was a Pro model more the size of the iPhone 13 Pro. But that's just a personal preference. The same day update for the fingerprint scanner helped immensely.
Seems to be everything google says it's is. Camera zoom is great and magic eraser is neat. Coming from a pixel 4, there is definitely a physical difference to get used to as well as coming to terms with the overall awkwardness of the larger form factor that cannot be fixed. However, I knew all that going into the purchase and it's a personal preference.I took the star off because I live in a rural area with poor service so wifi texting is critical while I am at home.. I have enabled, disabled, cleared cache, restarted and tried everything except clearing user data in messages and it will not verify my number. Not sure if it's hardware or softwareIt's still a super smooth phone that takes great pictures.
Most features work well on phone, BUT charging does not work when using an Anker 60 w charger. Charging on other chargers works really weird and slow. Disappointed. Do not recommend until the charging is fix.
So far this has been the best pixel Google has produced yet. This is coming from someone who felt that the pixel 2 xl was one of the best phones ever made.
