Great Phone, Good Camera, No Rear Fingerprint Scan

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I should start this off by saying that I or my wife have owned the Nexus (pre-Pixel), Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 3, Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 5 5G. All of those phone have been pretty darn good from the hardware side (screen, battery life, etc.), and they have all been FANTASTIC from the software side. This phone is no different.
Jumping into the software first-- I love the pixel lineup because they are straight from Google without any extra bloatware on them from the phone company. The Android operating system is not modified, so you get security updates immediately-- you don't have to wait 3-6 months for the phone manufacturer to tweak them and finally send them out to you. This runs the latest Android (and will receive updates for a few more years). The interface is clean, snappy, intuitive, and it works darn well. I love it.
On the hardware side, this phone is no slouch either. If you aren't heavy into gaming and screen usage (you're just surfing the web, texting, browsing social media, etc.), then you'll go to bed with 30-40% still left. if you are a heavy mobile gamer, etc. then I expect it'll be a much shorter battery life. That being said, this does charge via USB-C, so if you have one of the better (higher wattage and more expensive) chargers, then this will rapid charge swiftly.
From there, the screen is sharp, clear, and usable in bright sunlight. It also dims considerably on the low end so you're not blinded as you browse in bed. The screen does curve down the edges of the phone, which looks pretty cool, but doesn't add a lot of function.
The camera is great as well. it has a couple of camera on the back-- from a wide angle lens to a 4x telephoto lens. The pictures have good colors, are sharp, and are just as good as every other cell phone on the market I've used lately. Will it beat a big DSLR? No, but it's more than adequate for prints, social media, etc.
The main things I don't like about this phone are:
1) The finger print scanner is now on the front (through the screen, you can't even see it). It works well, but about 1 in 3 times I have to scan my thumb twice. The older Pixels with the scanner on the back were slightly quicker and more accurate and you could find them without looking. This one you have to look down at the screen to see where to place your finger.
2) The camera bar on the back projects from the phone. It's not a big deal, but it's not a smooth, flat surface
3) The curved screen looks great and I like it-- but it makes finding screen protectors difficult. The hard (tempered glass ones) are pricey and prone to breaking easy because it's hard to manufacture a curved piece of glass. So, I'm currently using a ebdnable plastic one that adheres to the screen. Works great, but I would feel better if it was a hard protector.
4) The screen size is large and it's hard to swipe down from the top if you're only using one hand.

That's really about it. There are some far more detailed review out there if you really want to nerd out on this phone, but overall I would recommend it in a heartbeat unless you have small hands or hate big screens. The software/operating system is a joy to use (even compared to other Android systems-- coming straight from Google it is so refined), the hardware is great as well. Bright screen, good camera, haven't had any issues with 5G or wifi reception. it does have some minor annoyances, but they are just that-- minor. For my needs, this phone is a solid 5 stars.

Fantastic Phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Pixel 6 Pro from Google! As a long-time iPhone user, I was a little hesitant. Though it took me a few days to get used to the differences, I would never go back. The phone itself is incredibly sleek and the features are amazing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Pixel 3 and have enjoyed it so I was excited when I got a Pixel 6 Pro..and I love it. Fits well in hand and the specs are amazing. A few things I wasn't huge on was the screen goes to the edge, so when you put a case on it, it can be a hassle if swiping or reaching the edge. The camera part which isn't flush with the body is odd as well, but these are minor

Major Smartphone Challenger

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been an Android user for years but never really considered Google to be a smartphone brand. Like most people, we all think of Google to be ubiquitous with searching something online or being a web browser/email platform but after using their new Pixel 6 Pro, I can strongly say that they are a major competitor on the smartphone game. The camera was just stunning to take pictures with and the screen resolution/size were exactly what I needed. This phone will make it tough for people to stick with Apple or Samsung.

Luxury phone, sleek, slim, affordable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to admit that I was nervous about trying out Google. I have had iPhones since 2011. This phone has blown me away. It is so much smaller and lighter than my regular phone. I can't say enough about the size. It's so easy to manage, light to hold, and fits nicely in my pants pocket.
The camera is out of this world. The colors are so vibrant, it captures the contrasting colors perfectly. I can't say enough good things about the camera on this Pixel 6 Pro.
Using the phone is easy. The screen is bright and I can use it outside even on full sun days. The apps all load easily and perform flawlessly.
I found the battery life to be average. It did run out a little quicker than I expected but it wasn't anything terrible. A pocket charger or a charging case if they make them would solve that minor inconvenience in a heartbeat. I probably noticed it only because I had read previous reviews mentioning the battery life.
Don't hestitate to buy this phone. It's a luxury phone at a very reasonable price. You're getting a lot more than what you're paying for.

Amazing Smartphone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been an iPhone user for years but have been getting frustrated with the lack of security. I decided to take a chance and change to this Google Pro 6. Setting up was a breeze. I haven’t had any issues with calls or text messages coming through. The camera is great, the display is crystal clear, and the size is perfect!
