Great Phone but Too Large for Small Hands/Pockets

I am very pleased with the Pixel 6, which I upgraded from a Pixel 4. I was worried about the fingerprint scanner being finicky, but it works fine with a flexible film screen protector. It also is undetectable aside from the icon indicating where it is, so it doesn't interrupt any screen content. I am disappointed that the back glass is not matte, unlike the Pixel 4, so it shows fingerprints easily. The camera bar is quirky. Battery life is decent but not outstanding. I am very disappointed the Sorta Seafoam color isn't more pronounced. The body looks more off-white than seafoam green or blue. My biggest issue with the device is that it is MASSIVE. I have small hands, so I was quite disappointed that the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro only came in very large sizes. "Women's" pockets are not compatible with this phone. I hope Google brings back a smaller form factor with their next release. So far so good with performance!
The Pixel has yet to disappoint! I base my phone selection primarily on its camera/video quality/capability, so when I saw what this phone could do I knew what my next phone would be. Image quality is incredible and even better is the ability to erase undesired objects from the image using Google photos! Quick camera option of double tapping power button is super helpful in capturing a moment before it's gone. I LOVE the ability to go back a screen by swiping, something I've never had before in a cell phone. The battery life is impressive and I really like the battery saver and adaptive option to preserve battery life. The only thing the Pixel is missing, that my old phone had, is the scheduled restart since I'm so bad at remembering to do it regularly. But that's so insignificant considering how this phone continues to exceed my expectations.
I switched from a 3a to a 6. I really liked the size and weight of the 3a. Size/weight - Too heavy and bulky. All of the reviews I have seen on the Pixel 6 are done by men and none have mentioned this as an issue. I am a small framed woman and I'm having a hard time. There are some actions that should be able to be completed with one hand that I can't manage.Finger sensor - Why did you move the finger sensor from the back of the phone to the front? It's inconvenient and does not work well.Game icon stuck - The gaming icon short cut won't go away even though I turned it off. The battery life is no more amazing than the last phone I had when it was new. I'm missing my 3a, to be honest. There was nothing wrong with it. I upgraded to a new phone because I switched plans with my family.
I loved the Pixel 3; great size, easy to use, quality connections, and clear voice. Same service plan, new phone, slow connections, voice is not clear, the interface is terrible, and the phone is clunky. You took what was good and made it bad
The camera bump is annoying and the phone charges super slowly. If you have a high end phone from Oneplus or Samsung that's less than three years old, there's no reason to upgrade.I have buyer's remorse. My Oneplus 7t was more than sufficient.
phone has been great so far, it fast, But i think i should have gotten the 6 pro. I was afraid of the pro being to big but think the 6 is just has big. I didnt want a big phone cause of prior big phone getting cracks screen all the time. but with them making the glass on them much stronger i dont think you have to worry has much. I did get the insurance. just in case
