I have been waiting for this phone for almost 7 weeks.it finally gets here and they bug me about a review less than a week later. Setup was a chore, and doing simple pairing was difficult. Since setup, I have an issue 50% of my calls where it's autotuned to an 80's speak'n'spell. Also the underscreen fingerprint reader appears to be premature in launching.... I have to use a pin 75% of the time, at least. Screen is beautiful, camera bump is not an issue, once you install a case, and the tensor and mali are buttery smooth with anything I have thrown at them so far .
Coming from a Samsung only guy to the pixel i must say that the pixel is a way better platform in my eyes. Yes it may not be as powerful in the bench mark but for what i use it to take pictures of my wonderful son and wife it puts the Samsung to shame. Google did well just has some bugs right now that I'm sure they will resolve with updates.
1. 5G connectivity issues. My data and cell service goes down at random times. Sometimes it shows no service. Sometimes it may look normal but no data and cell service.............2. There should be a simple button to close all apps when I am on switching app screen. Currently I have to go all the day left to find close all apps button. It is a pain when I have many apps open............3. Please give us more grids. More rows for sure. I like using widgets but they take up too much space at current grid options..........4. Is it possible to have folder options in all apps view? So I can organize it myself? It just looks so messy with all the apps just listed...........Phone itself is great. Camera is great. If all the things are addressed, it would be 5/5. With major issue to minor issues that lacks sophistication, I will rate it 3/5. Again, software update is desperately needed
I got the Pixel 6 Pro for the new cameras and am happy to say it lives up to my expectations! I love photography and had to use my Canon SLR if I wanted a long shot zooming into a composition because zooming with my Pixel 3XL would only be a digital zoom. Now I can take a great closeup shot without worrying about losing quality. I also like the bigger screen and speed upgrade.
Hardware: The fit and finish is definitely flagship quality. The phone feels sturdy and has a great heft to it. It's not going to be comfortable for those with smaller hands, though The camera bar looks cool and has a great secondary function of stabilizing the phone on a table. The screen is great, even in direct sunlight. The 120 Hz display is buttery smooth. The rear cameras have great picture quality, but the selfie camera is a bit of a let down. There aren't many missing features, but I would like to have a pulse oximeter like in Samsung phones.Software : Overall, the software has been great. I have only experienced a few bugs, mostly the launcher crashing out. Some games also have some bugs on the bottom navigation bar where a series of stripes are shown instead of solid black. There are some minor missing features like a secure folder in Samsung phones. The camera of course stands out for it software and features.
I've had the Pixel 6 Pro for a week and am, so far, very impressed. Switching from my old Android phone (LG G6) was pretty much seamless thanks to the transfer cable
