Overall - The pixel 6 phone is amazing. Score 4.5/5Pro:Very responsive, great size. Battery so far has been incredible. Software and apps are stable. Photos and Photo quality are great. I'm not a heavy browser or phone app user though.I've only had the phone for little over a week. Looking forward to finding out how the phone fares over the upcoming 1-2 years. transitioning from my older phone to the pixel 6 was very straightforward. My SIM card was recognized upon booting, and the overall app transfer process was very straightforward. Previous phone was a Xiaomi 8, which will unfortunately no longer be supported due to the coming change to 5G network upgrade.Con:Price - The pixel 6 was a stretch for my budget. Comparing the specifications to other flagship phones, it sits equal or better. However it is still quite an expensive phone.finger print sensor: It's not exactly the most responsive. Most of the time it works. Sometimes it needs another scan to unlock the phone.
Long-time pixel owner, wasn't as thrilled about the 6 as I wanted to be. Biggest issue is fingerprint scanning, not only is it buggy which makes it very annoying to use, but it also emits a super bright light when you use it now which makes it annoying at night when you're unlocking your phone and making the whole world aware you're checking your phone. I miss the back fingerprint scanner from the 5, definite downgrade there. Camera is solid, but not a massive upgrade from what I've seen so far. Hoping Pixel team addresses the fingerprint issue sooner than later.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really like everything about this new model it's hard because it's a little heavy compared to my much nimble pixel 5 on that note the pixel 5 has a much better fingerprint sensor success rate that is about the only thing that I just can't deal with makes me into my PIN due to failures of fingerprint sensor on the pixel 6 other than that it's a pretty sweet phone but I'll still be rocking my pixel 5 at least twice a month just for the heft of it.
Not a whole lot of difference from my old Pixel 3.

I really love this phone. I had a Pixel before and loved it but I cracked it. Bought a different phone (not a Pixel) and was really disappointed. My wife bought the Pixel 6 for me for Christmas and I've really enjoyed it. The photos on this Pixel are amazing. I've had no issues with dropped calls. It seems to be faster than my last Pixel. The battery charge us good not great. Battery life seem to last longer with my Pixel 3. The only issue I've been having is it will charge up to 80-86% and not charge any more. I usually have to unplug it and plug it back in to get the full charge. Other than that I love my Pixel 6. And yes I would recommend this product.
There's always, always a learning drama when getting a new phone. Im giving a 3 because I'm struggling with the new stuff. Takes greats pics, screen display is nice. Disappointed with the fact that I can't lock messages in my messenger now so now risk accidentally loosing/deleting things I need to keep. Also there's too many steps to get to volume controls for all sounds. My old phone had 2 places to see pictures. Now there's only Google photo. So far these items are disappointing. Let's see what else I learn about this phone.
