Great phone so far after 1 week of use. The screen broke with a otterbox defender case on it when it fell on padded carpet while taking it out of my pocket. I've never broken a screen before after having several phones in the past 12 years, I'm extra careful and purchase the strongest cases I can buy. Really bummed out about that but other than that its a good phone.
Just a few weeks into enjoying my new phone, and I'm many aspects of it: great screen, superb photos, quick load times, etc. But there's a real problem that is ruining my enjoyment of this phone. It cannot reliably hold onto Bluetooth connections. For whatever reason, the phone constantly drops every Bluetooth connection after a period of time. If I'm listening to music or a book, it remains connected as expected, but pause the book or music and the phone drops the connection. You then have to either go to settings and reestablish connection or turn Bluetooth off and on and finally restart the Bluetooth device. This is unacceptable and needs to be addressed.
So far the phone has lived up to the hype, I upgrade from a 3xl which I loved, and this is faster, camera is great! The design is awesome all around win!
I went from the Pixel 2 XL to the Pixel 6 Pro. Notice how I didn't say upgraded. Even though spec wise, the Pixel 6 Pro beats the Pixel 2 XL by far. By way of the large screen, camera, and raw processing power. There are several things I miss dearly. The back fingerprint unlock location was much faster and easier to access than the current front facing location. I could swipe down on it and easily check my notifications. Holding down on the power button used to allowed me to check my credit cards or manage my home. Now it can only be easily managed from my lock screen. So I would have to lock my phone to get to it. The "At A Glance" widget on the home screen cannot be moved. Before it used to be centered on the Pixel 2 XL, now it is permanently stuck in the top left corner. The location where the sound comes from is now at the bottom of the phone. I hold up my phone from that location, so the sound is blocked and becomes quieter. I end up using both my old phone and new phone equally.
