Best phone ever

I love this phone. The pure Android experience is a LOT better than using a phone from other brands that load their own interfaces, or phones from carriers that put a bunch of crapware on the phone. The display is big and bright and smooth. The cameras are sharp and clean. The phone is really slick (I swear it slides off completely horizontal surfaces), so a clear skin is highly suggested. I have had zero problems with the fingerprint scanner, and using my thumb as one of the print unlocks makes opening the phone a one-handed affair. The only nit I can pick is: why did Google put the power button on the same side as the volume control? This makes taking a screen shot a two-handed affair.
I've been disappointed so far. It's very similar to my pixel 4 XL to some degree but while the phone is faster, there are downsides. No facial recognition. The fingerprint recognition is very poor. Way worse than old iphones. And the talk-to-tezt function is absolutely horrible. Way worse than my 4 XL. And when I send texts, half the time it duplicates the text. I am regretting this purchase so far.
I wanted the pure Android experience so I bought a Pixel 6 Pro with the 128 GB storage in late November 2021. The phone keeps dropping my calls and now I find out there's a bug with the December software update. Google is trying to tout its custom processor and software, and it can't sort out its December update to fix the dropped calls' problem?? LOL...I should've bought an iPhone. This phone is a certified junker.
A great upgrade and it takes amazing photos when the camera works. The camera freezes up around 1 in 4 times I try to take a picture. Closing the camera, and restarting it seems to have worked for the most part. Sometimes I just have to wait a bit. It crashed very often the first few days I had it but it seems to be getting better.
Had to enable developer options to disable a bluetooth setting so that I could play music through my bluetooth speakers and when connected to my car. Not a great experience for a flagship product.
