Battery and face recognition
on December 13, 2021
Posted by: H. E.
I was noticing what I believed was running out of power, that was one of the reasons why I upgraded from the Pixel 4 to the Pixel 6. 6. It didn't seem to get better with the Pixel 6, although it might be slightly better. I read an article about turning 5G to improve battery life, I did this and it seems to help.I was also surprised that it didn't have face recognition, with my Pixel 4. 4. I got very much used to face recognition and I was surprised that the pixel 6 does not have that feature.All in all it seems to be very similar to a Pixel 4 but larger and more bulky.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Extremely fast and responsive phone, the only downsides are 2. First you will NEED a case as this phone is extremely slippery in the hand and 2nd, I have found that certain apps such as Reddit and Mewe will not load images or video at all. I had the same problem with my Pixel 3. I have tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling but with no luck. The apps worked for about a day and then stopped. Other then that the phone is worth the cost.
My wife and I both upgraded from or Pixel 2s to the Pixel 6. Overall, I like the features and functions. The often mentioned battery issues are non-existent for me. I can usually go 2 days on a single charge and I'm loving that. I wish it was about the same size as the 2 because I don't care for larger phones but at least it's not a "Desktop phone."The 2 major misses in my opinion are the on-screen fingerprint scanner and the phone's construction material. The scanner works for me about 75% of the time and even less for my wife. The other glaring error is that this phone is ridiculously slippery. The only way this could be any more slippery would be if they had made it out of a wet bar of soap. I have watched mine literally slide off of a table that wasn't perfectly level. With that in mind, don't fret about color because a case is an absolute must. Despite those shortcomings, I'll stick with it primarily due to staying up to date on Android upgrades and lack of bloatware.
So far I've had this for around a week or two and I have had no issues whatsoever. I love all the features of android 12 along with all additions with the pixel 6 itself. Camera quality is awesome and just a very well rounded phone.
Finger print scanner sucks, way to slow. No facial recognition is a huge step back. That said everything else is great. Spam call screening is a god send nowadays.
