A worthy flagship!

Google has finally made a device to elevate the Pixel brand. Every phone has faults but the Pixel 6 Pro's are only a matter of taste. The phone can be your powerhouse while still looking beautifully unique. It *is* quite slippery but a Bellroy leather case has solved that issue for me. I do miss the face unlock and "wave to snooze" features of my Pixel 4 XL but I don't miss the bezels.
There is a lot of good about this phone. It's really powerful. The technology is a step above the rest. The camera is really good. The screen is super nice. There is also a lot about this phone that was way overhyped. The AI stuff is still more gimmicky than practical right now. The magic eraser and live transcoding are about 75% as useful as advertised. Just not quite there yet. The quality of the build materials and finish on this thing is atrocious for a "flagship" phone. I almost returned mine when I got it and felt how cheap and plasticky it felt in comparison to my antique Note 10 . The screen even has a plastic thud to it. If it was not have advertised as a flagship phone I would not have expected it to be anything but. Especially since the price point does not even reflect flagship. But when you add that word in front of your phone it really needs to meet the build quality of other flagships.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really love this phone! I enjoy learning all the new ways to use it and the new things it does! The very large downfall is I have yet to figure out how to get my pictures off of my phone, onto my computer so I can print them myself at home!?!? I've tried numerous ways but as of yet not been successful... This makes me very, very sad.....Other than that, the phone is excellent!
I've always loved Pixel phones, but I've always known that they weren't really flagship phones. This year, Google came in swinging HARD. The phone performs like a breeze, absolutely blazing fast in everything, and on top of that, the camera quality is impeccable. It shocked my brother who is an amateur photographer.The battery life isn't super crazy good, but I've only had to charge once a day/overnight, which is the standard anyways.
As someone coming from a Pixel 4 XL, very disappointed in the loss of face unlock. The fingerprint scanner is terrible, Google really missed out on this. After the disastrous pixel 5 mid-range with no option for a larger model and stripping out all of the flagship features of the 4 and the 4 XL, you would think after 6 months of fanfare Google would have released a monster. Now don't get me wrong the phone is very nice, has a lot of great features and definitely better battery life than the 4 XL after 2 years, but overall a 5,000 MAH battery should last much longer. The tensor processor is actually nice. I noticed absolutely no lag, the screen I have not had any issues with and is great, as well as the camera is amazing. I guess time will tell I have only had it since November 9th. I would still recommend it because at the end of the day I could not spend more time with my Pixel 4 XL because after 2 years and several weeks I was starting to notice how dated it was becoming.
I've been waiting for Google to put out a phone with top notch hardware for years and they didn't disappoint. I traded in my S21 ultra for my Pixel 6 pro and I couldn't be happier. Zero problems with the fingerprint scanner. Software is amazing without the Samsung bloat. The camera is amazing and so much easier to use. Speakers are a major upgrade. I can't wait to see what kind of feature updates Google brings with the Tensor chip. Amazing phone.
After one week, I've gotten a pretty good handle on the phone's features, so it's very user-friendly. At 5003 mA/h, the battery has plenty of life. That's especially true if you limit the FPS to 60 when you're not gaming. The processor is fast and the 256 GB model's storage feels relatively cavernous. The camera is amazing, as is the advanced AI that enhances the Pixel 6 Pro's features.
