Hi I just have a question. I own a pixel 6 pro but when I slide down to get to my applications I don’t have the option of “personal or work” like you have on your pixel 6 why is that ? Maybe it’s because I don’t have the latest December update? Please can you help me and tell me if that’s the case or is it a problem with my phone?

[@6MonthsLater]

This is the work profile feature thats in the Pixel. It's been there for a few years, you can install it if you have a g suite account for work. Google is also expanding this feature in the future: www.engadget.com/google-android-work-profile-workspace-2022-173541051.html More info on the feature in general: support.google.com/work/android/answer/6191949?hl=en

@@6MonthsLater no I don't have a G suite account I need to have it to have this option right? So it's not a problem with the phone?

[@6MonthsLater]

It's not specific to just the Pixel. It's an Android feature. Def check out the Google support link we sent earlier and that should have all the ways you could currently enable it.

I got news for you! I have the standard Pixel 6 but held and looked at the 6 Pro device deeply and the display quality on the Pro version is "slightly" better! That and the other couple slight differences are NOT worth the extra $300.00 price hike! I do not like curved screens at all, no matter how good the display is! Believe me, if the display on the standard Pixel 6 was not a good display, I would be the first to acknowledge it! The display is beautiful and bright enough to view in outdoor sunlight! You wanna spend the extra $300.00 for the Pro model? Go right ahead - lot's of people love to get the top-of-the-line devices regardless of the cost just to say they have the top device! The standard Puxel 6 is the smarter choice!

[@adriancandelario2902]

Curved screens are such a bad trend...the 6 Pro would've been perfect with a flat display.

[@SadisticSenpai61]

If the 6 had a headphone jack, I wouldn't even hesitate. Unfortunately, I'm looking at having to get a new phone and none of the phones offered for free by my provider have headphone jacks. And yes, the curved screens are awful! Blegh!

[@tonyginnetti5828]

@@SadisticSenpai61 - Yeah, the lack of a headphone jack was nearly a deal breaker, since every phone I'd had included one! After considerable thought (and realizing nearly all new devices do not have headphone jacks), and knowing I have a nice set of Bluetooth ear buds, I weighed out the other pros and cons and made the decision to go with the (standard) Pixel 6. The amazing cameras and camera features, software experience, the 128gb storage with 8gb RAM, screen display, the fact that this phone will get 3 more years of OS Android updates and 5 years of misc. software and security updates AND the $599.99 price outweighed the 2 or 3 minor negatives!

[@SadisticSenpai61]

@@tonyginnetti5828 I'm gonna have to end up going with the OnePlus Nord N200. It turns out, the Pixel 6 isn't being offered for free for my phone upgrade. And the Nord N200 is the only one being offered that I think I can stand. And ofc it doesn't have a headphone jack... Grr!

[@tonyginnetti5828]

@@SadisticSenpai61- That could be a good choice! Both my sons have One Plus phones and they like 'em a lot! I don't know too much about the Nord series but ever since Hasselblad has incorporated much of their camera expertise into the more recent One Plus devices, the cameras have greatly improved! Good Luck!

The regular 6 is the phone to get especially if you want to experience tensor coupled with all of the flagship essentials. Choose the 5a if you want some of the best primary essentials at a great price (minus the tensor upgrades). Choose the 6 pro if want the flagship non-essentials most people don't require (seriously, most people are wasting money at this phone level and above).

[@NineDarkTales]

Quick tip from a viewer coming to see this review. If you guys are making a "After one month" review, I as the viewer dont want to hear what ive been hearing in reviews since day 1. Skip all that, ive heard it countless times, i want to know what im not able to know by using the phone 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks. I want to know whats been exceptionally good, what hasnt been, quirks, nit picks, surprises that you can only know about after using the phone for a long period of time. How some things just work and are a treat to use and how some things u hoped to be better but werent. This is just a regurgitated 1 day review one month late...

[@cozalenko7-341]

I love my 6. Soo helpful and intelligent. I don't need the pro. Value packed. Nice vid thanks. 👌

[@itisfinished4U]

Thank you for mentioning the pink and purple color shift problems on white screens on the 6, that bugs the crap out of me and most people even reviewers don't see it yet it's extremely noticeable depending on the OLED lottery pick you have.

[@6MonthsLater]

You’re welcome! This is exactly why we wait a bit and don’t rush to put a review out by a certain date! It seems it’s on pretty much every 6. Looks like it’s just a characteristic of the screen Google choose to use: www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-6-pro-display-review/

[@Slammediadotca]

@@6MonthsLater I don't notice it at all on mine, but I do use dark mode for everything, maybe that is why?

[@itisfinished4U]

@@Slammediadotca dark mode definitely helps, I've sent many phones back like the 4a, 4a 5g, until I received one that was tolerable because all the less premium pixels have it to a greater or lesser degree

[@6MonthsLater]

Yeah it's way less noticable with dark mode, but anytime any large part of the phone displays white you can see it.

[@BojanTomic]

I don't ever look at my phone from those angles, so I don't have any issues with this. 🤷🏻‍♂️ As long as it's good from straight-on, I'm more than fine with it.

[@dIggl3r]

I upgraded from a Pixel 2 XL to Samsung A52, and for the most part I'm happy. But I do miss the Pixel environment, and when I see what Pixel 6 brings, I kinda regret not having wait a few more months so I would have switched to Pixel 6 instead. Sigh.

[@cobiebeef]

[@blackchristiangeek]

I guess good things do come to those who wait because you are the first reviewer I have watched that's given that much detail explanation between screen quality. For that alone I say thank you. I had settled on the 6, but couldn't find it anywhere. Now you have compelled me to reconsider the 6 Pro and ssve me from return to an iPhone 😅. Thanks again and God bless

I've been window shopping for a phone since about the release of the Pixel 6. I think this at 256gb is gonna be my choice. Hopefully they put in face unlock.

[@BojanTomic]

That's a bit of an overreaction regarding the Pixel 6's display. It's definitely nowhere near being bad. If you know it's a different display type, you may notice the difference when viewing the two side-by-side. Otherwise, no one would know nor care, really.

[@ChrisBartlett]

That is what I was thinking. Everyone has is entitled to their opinion, but I think he missed on a couple things. The display being one of them.

[@pinky1933]

I'm on day 2 of owning the Pixel 6. I was using the iPhone 13 mini but was not satisfied with the battery or iOS for that matter. I've had iOS in the past but this time around didn't capture me as the pixel seems to do. Last night I drove from 5pm to midnight delivering dominos and had the GPS running most of the time. With my mini I would never make it without keeping it plugged in. Now I love knowing if I start at 100% I can make it through a rough shift without battery issues. Only thing I'm not enjoying are all these damn adds in what seems to be every app I download.

[@JayDabhiTV]

I'm so happy you released this review. I ordered the 6. I have a 4a5G & Note 9. I LOVE the QHD in my Note. So much so that I went back to the Note with it's older OS and jagaddy functionality... Wished the Pro had a flat screen with QHD but then the beauty of no side bezels go away... First world problems. Gonna cancel my order and switch to the Pro... Thanks!

[@TheProspecialist]

I picked up the pixel 6 a week ago. My previous android devices was the galaxy 20 plus and before then the OnePlus 7pro. Coming from someone who always has a iPhone in one pocket and owned several qhd phones you do notice the difference. But for me the size of the phone is perfect and it's weird it feels smaller than it is idk how to explain it. The screen isn't great but for me it's good enough

[@robertclarkguitar]

The magic eraser may be tensor powered on the 6, but using it on 4xl works the same just pushing the updates as a pixel 6 using SAI. Many are using this on non pixel devices as well so it is NOT a pixel 6 limited use product. It is software in photos app ...

[@Shinta0SaINt]

Great video bro, regards Shane from Trinidad 🇹🇹

[@Goldenboi37]

My experience with the Pixel 6. I find that the fingerprint scanner isn't at all responsive as the OnePlus 8+ or my favorite Pixel 4A used to be. I'm still trying to get used to the swipe up to get to my other screens and I've noticed a random green screen that takes you back to the Home which is weird. On the OnePlus 8+, the 120 Hz refresh... I guess I'd gotten used to the speed and responsiveness of just swiping screens but I can definitely tell the difference with the Pixel 6. I hear all the rave reviews and I'm a diehard Google guy but I'm not all that happy with the 6. Just sharing my opinion. Update: One other minor annoyance, I have a Galaxy Tab, I enter my 4 digit PIN and it automatically takes me to the homepage, but I enter my 4 digit PIN on the Pixel 6 and I have to then hit the arrow button to get to the homepage. I'm like come on Google. Yes it just takes a second to do it but I don't wanna. Lol.

What sort of Screen on time are you getting on pixel 6 Pro and 6?

[@6MonthsLater]

For both the 6 and 6 Pro I'm only per day I'm seeing a screen time of 2-3 hours a day, but the battery is typically above 50% by the time it goes back on the charger at night. - Josh

[@glerivett]

I don't have any colour shift on my pixel 6

[@PH96Official]

[@VenerableNut]

I heard the fingerprint scanner is incredibly slow, which is why I stayed away from this phone. Is it true? I wish google kept an optical sensor....

[@Silver01Son]

I don't think it's too slow, but it is inconsistent for me which is worse.

[@andyH_England]

I have the Pixel 5 and must admit if photos are your main draw to the phone, which seems the undercurrent from many at #teampixel, then I would keep the 5 or get the 5a rather than the Pixel 6 which is not much of an upgrade in the photo sphere. In fact I still carry my Pixel 5 for that purpose as I prefer their results. I think, after a month or two, I am unimpressed with the Pixel 6 line, well below my expectations. It is another choice for the phone-starved US market but I would suggest those of us in Europe or Asia will find far better phones arriving soon or choose a discounted 2021 phone, most beat the Pixel 6/Pro in value and specs. A worthy try Google and in the US will garner fandom, but we await the Pixel 7 for something closer to expectations.

[@robertclarkguitar]

I agree. After all the blind test MKBHD did which I am not a big fan of btw, shows the people actually chose the 5a pics over 13pro s21 ultra and all 2021 devices. And 2020. In it's defense I will proudly keep my 4xl. Heheh

[@BojanTomic]

Bear in mind that Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have new camera hardware, which means that photos will only get better and better in the future, along with videos, as they continue to update the software, which is currently still tuned for the older models. On the other hand, Pixel 5 (and lower) have most likely reached the peak of their performance.

[@TribeofChiefs]

Should I wait for the S22+ or get the P6?

Much made of the Pixel 6 AI but benchmarks suggest it is miles behind the upcoming chips so do not believe all the marketing spiel (new Dimensity will be nearly 3x better than Tensor). On device chips to provide offline data have been around for a while and this is no reinvention of the wheel. Do not be fooled by the hype, the Tensor is already dated and by early 2022 will look old and slow compared to the new chips.

[@DWtechfan]

Here’s my problem, I wanted to consider the Pixel 6 but I’m an iPhone user. My brother bought the 6 and while he was impressed with it, he ultimately sent it back because it had horrible battery life and terrible standby time. He said he’d charge it and a few hours later, it would have already lost 3-5%. My iPhone XR isn’t great on battery life as I’m probably averaging about what Pixel 6 users claim to get but the iPhone battery is very well optimized and after charging to 100%, I can leave it off charge as long as I want and it won’t lose any on standby times of inactivity. I had a Moto G Power 2020 before the iPhone XR and while I loved things about android on that phone, it had atrocious call quality. iPhones are way better in that area but I do love the customization of android more than iOS. I’m just wondering if any iPhone users have had positive experiences switching to the Pixel 6 and if they regret leaving iOS? Android has really improved since the last time I had it which was ages ago and I love the design and features of the Pixel 6. I just can’t shake the feeling I’d get buyer’s remorse if I made the jump because iPhones, despite all their flaws, are still kings of the smartphones for quality and longevity.

[@nickseabolt8927]

Hey there! I actually just switched from the iPhone to the Pixel 6. Actually from the same iPhone you're talking about. I'm currently using text to speech right now and it's working really well. Some things I think it's just an Android 12 thing. It's a little bit glitchy here and there. When I opened maps I noticed it's a little bit laggy I don't know if that's a map's problem or not. KZbin and split screen can be a little bit buggy as well. Again, not sure if it's the app or if it's Android 12 itself. However, the overall experience I really enjoy. Am I over the moon about my decision? I'm going to be completely honest, not yet. I'm not like "oh wow, this is such a great phone." Don't get me wrong. It's an awesome phone. I just thought I would feel more emotion when I got it so far though it's been a pleasant experience. Would I upgrade from the iPhone XR to the Pixel 6 pro. Absolutely 100%. Would I go for the iPhone 13 pro Max though? I'm going to be completely honest with you. Probably if price wasn't an issue. As far as the battery goes I think it's honestly fine. I know it's an adaptive battery and it'll get better over time the more you use the phone. Hope this helps!
