Love it!.. but..

Overall this is a great phone.. I did love my Pixel 5, this is definitely more premium.. a couple of things though. Too much bezel on my Pixel 6 front.. the glass is too slippery on the back.. no reason for it not to be a matte finish. I like that it's a flat screen and mostly flat back. Keep that. True 45 watt (one plus 10 is at a whopping 80 watt charging..c'mon Google!!)charging. The fingerprint reader isn't that good. No reason to still be using optics when there is better choices for the fingerprint reader. Don't mind 90 Hz on the Pixel 6 but it should be a LTPP display for better battery life. Oh yeah 6.4 is too big. 6.2 inch screen would be perfect. (If the the Pixel 6 pro screen was 6.6 I'd would have got that) I know a lot to say, still love my phone but it could be better. Last thing.. we should be leading the way in camera and video for phones period. Make it happen!
Unlocking using fp reader is becoming a pain with screen protector on. Despite increasing fp sensitivity it fails 9/10 times. Also no face unlock makes it even more difficult.
Coming from a Pixel 3, this phone was a great upgrade. The 3 had just started to finally show its age by not holding a charge as well and being a little slow in some cases, but otherwise still a great phone.The transition to the 6 was one of the smoothest I've had, and so far the 6 is everything I loved about the 3 except snappier and with a bigger screen and battery and more storage.The camera isn't immediately noticeably better, but I haven't used it much. I like the fingerprint sensor in the middle of the screen instead of the back. It's faster to verify while using the phone, but the downside is it isn't quite as fast to pull out of my pocket and unlock in one motion.I'm still getting used to the larger size (especially with a case), but the increased screen size is nice and it still fits easily enough in a pocket.Reverse charging is a cool gimmick, though I'm not sure how often I'll actually use it.If you loved the 3, I think you'll be quite happy with the 6.
Seamless upgrade from my 4 to the 6. Snappiness and functionality is wonderful. The screen is bright and the interface is simple and intuitive. New chip is super fast. The camera is freaking beautiful as well. Would have much preferred facial recognition like the Pixel 4 over the thumbprint scanner. Thumbprint works so seldom that I gave up on it after about 12 hours. Now I use a code like I'm on my HTC Evo in 2010. Awesome phone otherwise. Even though that is kind of a big caveat.
Only two things that disappointed me. The first is the thumbprint unlock. Takes multiple attempts to unlock, sometimes necessitating using the numeric unlock. Second is that it will not pair with my hearing aids. I've read that an upcoming patch from Google will address this. The thumbprint problem may take some time to address.The change over from my old Samsung to the Pixel went great. The Pixel has a great display and the camera is perfect. Save for the two aforementioned problems I would have given it a 4 rating.
