Not what I expected. :(

I have had all the Pixels since the beginning until Pixel 5 (downgrade from Pixel 4XL). I now have the Pixel 6 Pro and it's the worst iteration of any Pixel I have had. I don't know if it's the hardware or Android 12, but I've had nothing but problems from day 1. Migrating my data caused the phone to be in an infinite boot loop and had to return phone for new device. It happened again with the new phone and had to quickly upgrade Google Services before it tried to reboot to stop from boot loop hell. The screen is WAY too sensitive causing tons of accidental clicks. When I have WIFI connected, it often will disconnect from 5g/lte with an exclamation point and unless I'm looking at the phone and notice so that I can reboot, I don't get any messages or calls. If I keep it on 5g/lte and no wifi, battery life quickly drains. And it is the slowest phone to charge that I've had in years and I have adaptive charging turned off. It's 2022 and what Google thinks is fast charging is laughable.
This is a great device overall, and I'm enjoying all but one new feature. I traded in a Pixel 4XL and enjoyed the face ID feature but missed the fingerprint ID feature on my previous Pixel 2XL, especially due to COVID masking. With the Pixel 6 Pro, I now have the fingerprint ID, with the bonus of a more convenient location. However, I've lost the face ID feature which allowed immediate activation upon picking up the device without a mask. If Windows can accommodate both features, why can't Google?
Every major brand has a flagship model of their mobile phone they send in to duke it out with the other guys' flagships. Well, the new kid in town, the Pixel 6 Pro, is walking all over the other guys. From the amazingly easy
Not only is it an improvement from the Pixel 4 XL that I had but also an improvement from what I saw of the Pixel 5. I enjoy the end display fingerprint scanner over the facial recognition of the Pixel 4 XL. I also enjoy the flawless look of the display and the improvements of both front and rear facing camera.
I switched from my galaxy s20 ultra and no regrets on getting the pixel 6 pro that stock Android and all the features that Google assistant has is so much better clean ui with no bloat ware like other Android phones. I'll probably be sticking with just Google phones going forward.
