I’ve been a google phone user for years… since nexus… honestly I feel like this model… specifically the 6 is very big and hard to handle. On top of that, the movement of the fingerprint reader is a total fail. I’ve owned all google pixel series of phones and I purchased the 6 and had it for less than 24 hours. Also the huge boxy lump of a camera is just obnoxious. Hopefully the next version can be scaled down in size, lumps/ humps and have reliable security to unlock the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had the phone for a few days and at first I though I could live with some of the issues. But it became too much. The phone would randomly open the Google Assistant all the time. Silent rooms, while watching YouTube, conversations, etc. The screen was really bad. It's one of the first things I noticed, but hoped that the January update would correct it, it didn't. My previous OnePlus 6t (a roughly 4 year old device) is much, much, better. I also missed face unlock, gesture controls, quick toggle of sound profiles, a decent finger print scanner, great service coverage and over all smoothness. All things that my 6t had since it launched 4 years ago. I returned the device and bought the OnePlus 9 Pro and couldn't be happier.
Bluetooth connectivity problems on previously connected devices; also, headphone/microphone jack problem (won't physically insert with Google pixel case); also, slow charging. Being handicapped, not being able to access my Bluetooth devices has been a disparaging situation, especially since no solution has been forthcoming.

Received Pixel 6 as a gift. It's an upgrade from Pixel 2. Comparatively this is a bigger and heavier phone. I still have to get used to the fingerprint login position. I prefer it being on the back of the phone where I can easily use my index finger. The protruded camera bar causes problem in using a selfie stick. Otherwise, it is a nice phone!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got the Pixel 6, but returned it. As much as I wanted to get out of my S20, the Pixel just was missing some features I really wanted to keep.One being Samsung pay. Another was the ability to create a folder and put multiple apps in it at once. I have a folder for fast food and restaurants that has about 15 entries in it. On the S20, once the folder is created, I can check all the apps I want to put in it at once. On the Pixel, I could only do them one at a time. And I have 6 folders to do this to. It is a bit heavier than the S20. I was disappointed that it did not have the double tap on the screen to put to sleep. The AOD does not move around the screen. I was concerned this would lead to a burn in on the screen.
The phone is sleek, full of features but those features are difficult to access. It is not intuitive as it claimed to be.Difficult to setup ring tones for email, phone, messaging and FB without it defaulting to a general sound There isn't a good YouTube or Google tutorial As an older person, I wish they would go back to providing a manual to help setup and use the phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Recently upgraded from a Pixel 4 to the new Pixel 6. Very happy with the fingerprint login, facial recognition was not my favorite. Camera is pristine and screen looks very sharp. Love how my phone is constantly learning about my usage. Ease of use is amplified by Pixel tips. My wife (non-Pixel user) is very jealous and is considering a change to Pixel.
