I'm happy with the phone. I previously had a Pixel 2xl so waited a long time for a new phone. Camera is good. Battery life is very sufficient. Wish it had come with a USB C to A cable for the car. Other than that, it's a great phone at a decent price.
Google does a decent job with the O/S, and the hardware is less expensive than their competitors at Samsung, but there is still room for improvement. My Pixel 6 has experienced numerous connectivity issues with my bluetooth devices. I've had several instances where i had to restart the phone just to use the phone. Either being unable to accept a call or make a call when the callers could hear me, or me them. This has happened at least 3 or 4 times in the last month of ownership. They still have not fixed the issue of notifications when connected to Bluetooth. If you have a bluetooth device, such as a headset, connected and get a text notification, or an app notification, you will not hear the notification unless you have the earpiece on the headset connected. This is terrible performance. Just because I connect my headset, does not mean I'm wearing it 24/7, and it's annoying to have to turn it off when not using it, just for this reason.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was super easy to get started. Just took it out of the box and insert my sim card and started the set up process. It was pretty quick and painless.
I love the design of the phone and how the cameras are set up. The only trouble, I ran into, is that, it doesn't have the 3 tabs (like the home screen tab, apps tab, back tab), on the bottom of the screen like my older phone. So, it's something I'm still getting used to. Other than that it's pretty easy to use and get the hang of.
Both the selfie camera and the camera on the back take really good crisp pictures. I love the editing features to edit the photos. One of the cool ones I'm using a lot is the magic eraser. You can erase background people in your photos! It's super cool to use. As for the phone and apps, it's very responsive, there's no lags. Even when playing my games, it's smooth sailing.
As for the battery, the phone seems to last a full day without needing to recharge. Now the battery doesn't offer fast charging, but as long as the phone last all day and some, that's all that matters to me.
Overall, this phone is a great phone with lots of great specs. I definitely recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Pixel 6 for two weeks now and I'm blown away by its performance, especially the night mode for taking photos. The software side of things is a killer feature among Google Android phones, especially considering the affordable price. A couple of other highlights for me have been the integration of Google Assistant, which can not only control all of your connected devices, but can also do things like serve as an interpreter with the live translate mode, which is amazing. While we are on the subject of live translation, you can also use Google Lens to translate text in photos, as well as messages and media you receive. It is really effective and really cool to have this much translation power in your pocket. The voice-to-text of the phone is nearly flawless and you barely need to slow down when speaking. One area that has been a bit of a struggle is the fingerprint reader under. Honestly, it operates at the level that my former Galaxy Note 21 operated, especially if I had lotion on my hands or was sweating but it's definitely not a dealbreaker. It works most of the time, but when compared directly with my previous Pixel phone, it feels like a step back but hopefully the bugs will get worked out. The back of the phone is made of Gorilla Glass which is a nice feature, especially considering I'm not a huge phone case fan. I have dropped the phone once so far on my hardwood floors and it held up nicely. One of my favorite features is the Magic Eraser which allows you to erase a person or object from a photo. Overall, I am happy with my new phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are many things to love about this phone. It has probably the best camera on a phone I've ever seen, especially the portrait mode. I've been taking pictures of my dog non-stop. The phone is also really responsive, has a great screen, and really has all the bells and whistles you could ask for. Its display is very customizable and honestly, could do it all. There are just 2 drawbacks to the phone that I've noticed. The first is the dongles and connectors that come with it in the box. It has a usb-c to usb-c cord and then a usb-c to usb dongle. Unless you already have the appropriate connections to make that work, you're going to have to go out and get a connector just to be able to charge the phone. The second drawback is that it seems to have trouble maintaining a bluetooth connection with my car. The connection will drop in the middle of a phone call, so I have to keep switching back and forth from hands-free calling. It's really annoying, but also really the only big drawback I've found with this phone.
