Great When It Works But Half-Baked Overall
on January 2, 2022
Posted by: ChrisHAHA5
The sixth Google Pixel has so much potential, but it is, at its core, a half-baked release of what should be a stable and reliable product. PROS: Battery life is outstanding, the physical design of the device is sheik, and the camera functionality and performance are top-notch. CONS: The performance of the Android operating system is frustrating and dismal, which is both surprising and maddening given that this is the sixth generation of a pure-Android device from Google. My phone randomly restarts itself, erasing all notifications and alerts each time. The cause? Unknown. My phone randomly disconnects from my [very strong and fast] home WiFi, which interrupts connected apps. The cause? Unknown. Sometimes my phone indicates that it doesn't have a SIM card, when...clearly it does. Google should be embarrassed by its OS and the performance of what it dubs its "premium" pure-Android device. My advice: Avoid purchasing a Google Pixel 6 until the OS issues are fixed.
Christmas gift from my wife. Love the photos, the android 12, the looks, the ease of use. But it slipped out of my hand on my 3rd day. Explosion on bottom left corner,
My right index finger and my left index finger are neither working on the fingerprint detector. Plus the really bright white light it shines in your face when using the fingerprint detector is unpleasant. I prefer my Pixel 4 face detector, although it couldn't do 2 images, with and without glasses. Also what happened to the function (on my Pixel 4) where if I'm in the same house (same wifi) it just stayed more or less open and didn't require face or pattern? Also, I want 4x camera on the smaller sized phone and I don't care about thickness. The fingerprint detector on my Pixel 2 was better than this one on my Pixel 6.
Would give 4.5 if I could. Front facing camera has bugs and battery doesn't always stand up to continuous use but it is a great experience overall. Camera and display frame rate and color are absolutely outstanding. Pair this with much needed android upgrades and features and you have one of the best Android phones to ever come to market.
Let’s start with the Build quality, feels solid, hefty, well built with some interesting finishing choices. The display is very nice text and graphics are well sharp and looks very beautiful. However the feel of the screen appears cheap, hollow. Typing text on the screen makes very odd experience. The software really makes this phone feel unpolished and unrefined. The cameras are good, as usual but what’s surprising to me that with the new camera hardware the camera experience would be leaps better than previous pixels, but sadly that’s not the case. The FP sensor for me is a joke of an attempt. I was expecting perfection, but was hoping for positive consistency. This phone has so much potential to be better. I wanted to give my experience 5 stars, but with all the missteps and hiccups within the software….3 stars is all I can muster. I’m hoping the experience gets better, with future updates fix the hiccups.
