Good Value but missing some nice features

The Pixel 6 is a hardware upgrade we have been waiting for a long time on the pixel line. The screen quality and feel of the phone is great. Two of my favorite pixel features however are not present in this phone. Squeeze for assistant was something that got me using Google Assistant way more than I ever would otherwise. Having the rear fingerprint sensor to swipe down on for notifications was seamless and quick. Removing those features has made using this phone a lot more clunky as it is less usable with one hand. They created a double tap on the back to get notifications, but it doesn't work well or at all when you are using a phone case. I still like the phone, but I wish Google kept more of the features their consumers love that made them different.
I've owned Pixel phones since the original. The Pixel 6 has some nice upgrades on previous versions. Specifically I like the new camera, and generally the Android 12 experience is pretty good. Unfortunately there are also lots of small bugs that do come up that I haven't experienced on previous devices. Audible will stop playing randomly sometimes, youtube crashes when casting to another device every once in a while, and sometimes I receive texts the morning after they were sent for a few examples. Not enough to return the phone, but things that I desperately want fixed before I would consider recommending this phone to others. The fingerprint reader in screen is ok, and not as bad for me as I have heard in some other reviews. BUT, the back fingerprint reader on previous models was still much, much better. I hope it returns in future versions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The fingerprint biometric scan on main screen is terrible and I wish my pixel 5 wouldn't have started having so many issues after a year so I felt need to upgrade. I hope they do face scan or bring back the reverse side thumbprint scanner. I can't login to most apps with biometrics now and it makes the phone more frustrating to use. Not much else has improved significantly with the device over the pixel 5, battery life doesn't seem too great.

Way to buggy to recommend. Maybe once they get their act together it will be a good phone

By far an improvement on my previous 4a 5g. A lot faster and camera is way better. One complaint would be the finger print unlock wish at was on the back like the previous versions. And I always have trouble with it and have re mapped my thumb a few times.
really good phone for the money. still needs some software tweaks and improvements here and there but im willing to wait it out. bought the stand 2 as well and im liking it
