I've only had this phone for a week and it has lived up to my expectations. I'm not having the issues that I've heard of with dropped calls or connection issues. Screening calls is easier than I thought it would be. I really like this phone
Old Pixel 3XL would be obsolete on my carrier at the end of January, so the Pixel 6 was purchased. The few days I've used it have been trouble free. The new software from version 10 and features are quite an upgrade. Looking forward to discovering all this phone has to offer.
I have been using a Pixel 4a for the last year, and a Samsung S10 before that. I love the Pixel ownership experience, the updates, the exclusive features. My favorite thing about the 4a other than that was it's size... So that being said, my least favorite thing about the Pixel 6 is it's size. This being the smaller of the two 6s and still it's huge, heavy, and slippery. That's really the only bad thing I can say about the phone, but it's a biggie. So onto the Pro's. Great all day battery life, diffinately an upgrade over the 4a. 90Hz screen is awesome, this is my first phone over 60Hz, but after just a week I don't think I could go back to 60Hz phone screen. Wireless charging, the thing I missed most with my 4a was this. I know if you've only had flagship phones this isn't a big deal but I was glad to get it back! Camera on my 4a was insanely good for a budget phone, but this is a noticable upgrade, for you photographers. Really dig this phone, just wish it was a bit smaller
I'd like to preface this review by saying that I've only had my Google Pixel 6 for a week so far. I'm sure that I'll like it more as I become more familiar with it and updates come. Right now, though, there are some things I love and some I hate.---Pros: FLAT SCREEN. Oh my goodness, I'm so glad this has a flat screen. I chose the 6 over the 6 pro because of the flat screen. Large storage space. Sleek design. Good cameras. Ever-growing software. Great smart home and assistant integration.---Cons: The fingerprint sensor is useless. I've even registered one thumb 4 times and it unlocks maybe 1 out of 20 times on a good day. NO SEPARATE APP SOUND. Any Samsung user will tell you that being able to play music on a Bluetooth speaker while watching a video silent on your phone is a necessary feature. Screen has weird lines of color in night mode No adjusting notification and ringtone volume separately. Overall a good phone, I'll enjoy it and recommend it, but I miss my Samsung's features.
Coming from a Pixel 3XL....the 6 is a big step up with the in-house tensor core and camera software updates. But like all new piece of tech these days....it comes with it's own set of early adopter issues like the fingerprint locking/unlocking not always reading or taking longer than usual (compared to past Pixels), crashing of multiple apps, etc. I understand with time a lot of this issues will be ironed out in updates, but it's a bummer to get a less than polished experience out of the box, but that seems to be the norm in this day and age.
I absolutely love the Pixel 6! While is it somewhat different from the Galaxy Note 20, I still think that the Pixel 6 is much better than any other Android I have ever owned. The learning curve is a bit higher than I'd like because some things are done differently on the Pixel 6, but all-in-all, it is a fun phone and pretty smart, too.
