I bought the Pixel because I wanted the pure android experience. I love 90% of the phone but 2 things make me hate it. The first is I like to have me search bar at the top of the phone. Using the stock launcher you can't move it. The second is the at a glance widget. I absolutely hate have the fact you can't change its appearance or location on the screen. A widget that takes up an entire row on your home screen that you can't remove or change to a 1x1 icon is just a terrible user experience. If you like to make your home screen your own and don't want to have to install a 3rd party launcher then don't buy this phone.
My only complaint is with the fingerprint sensor. Sometimes it takes a few seconds to unlock, sometimes it just doesn't unlock.Everything else has been great.
This phone has a few issues. 1 fast charge is broken day one out the box and google hasn't offer a fix. 2 battery life is over hyped like crazy. 3 battery get really hot during recharging. Wish I chose the S21 Ultra.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had this phone for only a few days now and all I can say is WOW!! What an amazing phone. It does everything so smoothly, it feels so silky smooth!! Battery is great. The camera is on another level, amazing shots EVERY SINGLE TIME!! I cannot say enough great things about the experience on this phone, great job Google, keep up the great work!!
Out of the 3 different pixels that I've had over the years, I believe this is my least favorite. I do love the big screen and even like the curve to it. The keyboard sensitivity seems to be very different on the 6 Pro; my hands are always cold so when I'm typing it doesn't always register. I never had that problem with either of my previous pixels......so you can imagine how fun it is trying to get into the phone with the fingerprint on the screen!! I don't like not having the finger print option on the back anymore.... I'm constantly still trying to put my fingerprint on the back of the phone, it really was much more convenient!
