Google Pixel 6 Pro: Should You Buy This in 2024?

I've had my Google Pixel 6 Pro since March 2022 and I've had some hiccups like heating issues when using camera especially when recording in 4k60 and playing COD Mobile, random reboots, but after the Android 14 Software update my goodness this phone is a BEAST and FLY'S like no other phone I've ever used, and on top of that my geekbench score is way higher than it was when I originally got it on Android 12, a thousand more points then before for both single and multi score. It's AMAZING how good the phone runs now, even recording video is so much better with heat management I can record video in 4k60 with no problems now it's literally like a BRAND NEW PHONE!! Funny thing is I was about to upgrade to the Pixel 8 Pro but after the Android 14 update and how good the Pixel 6 Pro is now I will be keeping it for another year. Thank you Google y'all pulled through this time🙂👍🏼

[@chethaz]

That is bc it was geekbench5 before and it's geekbench 6 rn. not that the 6 pro havent improved. but geekbench 6 and 5 differ a lot.

[@KingdomWithin7]

@@chethaz that still doesn't take away the fact that my phone runs much better and no more heating issues when recording video in 4k60👍🏼

I went from the Samsung Galaxy S9 to the pixel 6 Pro back in 2021, and I haven't looked back since. I love the pixel 6 Pro, and I will probably have the one that I have until 2026. Here's hoping by 2026 Google has a new phone that I actually like.

[@joelconolly5574]

Probably not long since 2025 Google is rumoured to use a far efficient chipset. Whether it's as powerful will probably be waiting to see.

[@agame-jv6zv]

​@joelconolly5574 if it's more efficient it would certainly mean more performance since mobile chipsets are only hugely held back by thermal limits, no?

Just upgraded from the 6 to the 8, I'm really liking the 8, i mainly notice 120hz vs 90hz but I was absolutely fine on 90hz, and now much brighter the 8's screen is, I like the wider ultrawide too and actually how small it is, my friend got my 6 as an upgrade from a A43 5G (i think), I'll enjoy the 7 years of updates when this eventually gets passed onto my mum. Oh and the face unlock, love it, just hate the software locking of the pro camera modes between the 8 & the 8 Pro.

[@TonInter]

Appreciate you doing this series. I'm coincidentally considering getting an older phone, since I don't really see anything that newer phones do remarkably better, then may as well save a few bucks.

[@chillwavemusic5024]

Definitely. After the deep review of the market and real comparison - bought myself used iPhone 13 Pro and absolutely happy.

[@RodolphosTechchannel]

I got it for 290 dollars in mint condition and I can’t complain much. The portrait from the camera could be much better but I never liked how pixels took portraits but everything else apart from that works perfectly. Fingerprint sensor, processor, all good

[@hiimartemis]

I bought the 6 pro the day they came out. It was the first pixel I bought where I was worried that I made the wrong choice (I've had the 1, the 3xl, and the 5). The connectivity issues were so aggravating 😅 but I stuck it out and I still have the same phone I bought day one. Google really stumbled with the launch of the 6 line imo, but definitely saved it with the updates by the skin of their teeth. Where the phone is now is honestly pretty great. It's definitely not my favorite pixel, but I can at least say I'll be continuing to buy the pixel line of phones based off of Google's dedication to supporting their phones.

[@johnathanblade1]

The 6 series should receive a higher updates score b/c of the 5 years of security updates (the most important updates)

@@dreampostermd Honestly? I would wait for the 8a if you can and it's in your budget. 8 series and forward have 7 years of software support vs 6/6 Pro has 1 year left and 7a 2 years left. If you absolutely need a phone now, want to be new and have a tight budget, go with the Samsung A54. Great value and 4 years of software support.

[@ricardosmith2060]

That sharp depreciation is why I never buy pixels new. I bought my pixel 6 for $350 used only a few months after it came out. I'll be doing the same thing when I upgrade to the pixel 9.

I bought this phone for camera use; my daily driver is a oneplus 9 pro. I give it a 10 for design. It totally reminds me of Geordi La Forge from Star Trek. I also give it a 10 for the camera/software. It takes phenomenal pictures with minimal input from me, i direct contrast with the Op9pro which despite the Hasselblad takes trash pictures.

[@hisankidwai497]

Recently shifted to the 6 pro and i can't be happier! Coming from the s20+ the main issue I had was the battery, and the pixel 6 pro is sufficient enough I absolutely love the cameras and photos it captures. And although I do miss a few things from the Samsung, overall the phone has been the best decision ever. Definitely not switching back to samsung anytime soon due to the heating issues

[@JRei23AZ]

Does your Pixel 6 Pro have any heating issues or rapid battery drain? My Pixel 7A has both those problems.

[@hisankidwai497]

@@JRei23AZ I consider myself to be a pretty average user, i play clash royale and stuff sometimes and i haven't experienced any heating issues. Sure the phone gets warm after gaming or when using hotspot but that's about it. (The average temperature in my area is around 24 soo that could play a part) In terms of rapid battery drain, i am yet to experience it. However, the phone does lose a little more battery when on mobile data.

Long time Samsung user here. I recently bought a 6pro of Facebook with a slightly cracked screen for £30. It turned out to be one of the best phones I have used. I'm actually considering a 8 pro. Few things I have noticed, Finger print sensor is absolutely perfect, cannot see the issue with it, an mine has a cracked screen. Speakers are fine, no issues and it totally sounds balanced. And speed? Not any issues with speed or over heating as most report. Over all I think most people are overly harsh on reviews of the phone. I don't think it's as bad in these areas as people make out. Great video and love the Sony set up 👌
