I am a fairly poor tech nerd so I am usually a flagship or 2 behind those richer than me, just got my brand new Pixel 6 and I love it, huge upgrade from the 4a I had, incredible photography, great videos, plays games like diablo 4 and wild rift on max settings at 60 FPS, good battery life, beautiful screen, 5G and just an all round great device. Oh and for those looking for a phone to vlog with or film , edit and upload KZbin videos, the pixel phones have optical and digital image stabilisation for insanely good videos, the mic is actually better than most and with 5g you can upload your your vids waaay faster. even the pixel 4a has an incredible camera for filming with fantastic image stabilisation. You can go for a run while filming with a pixel phone and it will very gently and subtly move up and down. While Google make phones I will never buy another brand.

I bought the pixel 6 after watching this, as for the price it just seemed like a no brainer. The biggest drawback seemed like the battery not being much better. I've been using the phone for a few weeks now and I'm completely mystified by the comments in this video. As an example I've just been using my phone (games / streaming) for over 2 hours on a train, with loads of apps open, Bluetooth location everything on, and it's barely made a dint in the battery. It's on 81% and wasn't full when I left. Thought this should be said as the review is super misleading

Even though photos may look a tad too tonemapped sometimes, I bet in the blind photo comparison, average person will pick those vs flat realistic shots

[@erikngn]

Yeah, judging by Marques' blind camera tests, people tend to choose images that look like the ones made by these Pixels

[@blad...]

I 100% prefer Pixel shots. I prefer to be able to see more and have the possibility to darken the shadows and what not in editing software than to not be able to see stuff and have no possibility of lightening to see more later on. Pixel gives more options, even if not completely realistic to real life.

[@umarbabajidda9664]

Speaking of blind-tests; I have to say that MKBHD's blind camera test is his best product.

[@samik83]

Not really a fan of the overly HDR pictures. My Oneplus 9 does the same in some situation. IMO you gotta keep it tastefull. A good HDR image is where you barely see it. Bring out the shadows when needed but keep them black, not grey. Slight clipping in the higlights isn't the end of the world either. Wish they would allow the possibility to set the HDR level.

[@benjmiester]

[@patjackson1657]

As somebody who has dabbled in photography since the days of film, $300 seems pretty reasonable for a piece of telephoto glass. That said, my Nikon still does a lot of stuff Pixel can't. Other side: Nikon can't call 911 when I fall off that ledge.

[@absak]

In mother Russia the camera is falling into that ledge for its user…

[@dgmojojojo]

But your Nikon must do that with multiple lense and setup. And I bet our DSLR can’t erase a person on the go.

[@Pratagraph]

I also think the 300 is justified for the telephoto, more ram, higher rez screen with a faster refresh rate and bigger battery. I use my Sony a7iii everyday, but it still amazes me what night sight can do and o often shoot with my phone in low light situations even if I have my mirrorless camera because it's easy to produce an image that I'm happy with. That said, I can't wait for that computational photography to come to bigger cameras at least for handheld low light photos.

First of all that speech to text is unparalleled, as far as I know. You are certainly right that the Tensor isn't about super high-end gaming and more about Google innovation. To me it's a rip off playing action games anyway on phones. I'll wait till I get home to play FPS games where I can truly feel engaged. Or get up portable console. This phone is all about productivity over entertainment for me. And this is truly a very tasteful review and I give you kudos for it!

[@KingdomWithin7]

Everything you said in your comment is very accurate and true. I too am very impressed by this smartphone, but the only thing I would've changed is the curved edges, not a fan of the edge screen but do prefer bigger and sharper displays so that's why I still decided to purchase the Google Pixel 6 Pro over the regular Pixel 6.

[@JairoMorales123]

I think the pixel 6s capability to condense high contrast image without blowing the image out is amazing, it looks weird on some pictures causing the over the top HDR effect but we're talking about information retention here, a blown out image looks more natural but it has a less fine color gradient to work with, the same effect can be achieved fairly easily in post production since the look is essentially replicating information loss. (Just mess with the contrast and blacks and whites)

[@dennisjungbauer4467]

That's true, but I think if you don't want to edit them a lot, like most phone users don't do I'd assume, it's better to have less of an HDR look and keep it more, while if you plan to edit them extensively, it's better to shoot in RAW anyways.

@Joe It’s an imitation of Apple’s, except not well done

[@WSAnderson]

@Joe yeah I agree and the carriers also know that it's Apple and Samsung that are going to drive account switch on promotions - and that they need to stock for. You're seeing that with some of the carrier availability right now T-Mobile for example is only carrying 128 GB skus. That's a combination of the supply chain woes but also carriers not really being willing to take the risk. I'm sure Google said they had it right this time. Really, we do. But the carriers have been burned by that before - the 5 and 5a were stinkers.

[@Ignacio.Romero]

@Joe Pixel Watch? You know there are watches using WearOS right? And you know who else uses WearOS for their watches? Samsung, except it'll only work on their phones unless you install a shit ton of Samsung bloatware, trying to wall-garden their stuff as much as possible, ala Apple. Also, headphones aren't part of an ecosystem, there's nothing about Pixel Buds that you'll miss using them with another phone. But do you know who else cripples their stuff when used on other phones? (Apart from Apple obviously) Samsung with all their headphones, using inferior, proprietary codecs only available in their phones. They don't even use Google's fast pair to save a buck. And don't even get me started on assistants and smart home stuff, Google with Google Home simply has the best ecosystem for that

Thank you and great job on the review! It is by far the most information delivered in the most pleasant way.

[@thefergyfilms]

My quick take: the biggest issue with Pixel 6 is the camera processing problems & battery. However, there is 0 chance that Google doesn't drastically improve the camera software via updates as they have always done. I also wonder if the Tensor battery problems could be drastically fixed via a software update. If so, than the Pixel 6 might really be an amazing phone in a few months.

[@perotekku]

Was keen to keep my Pixel 4, but it died suddenly this week. Pixel 5s are all gone, so I decided to bite the bullet and jump in. 100% agree on the camera. I'm not a big photo snob, but even I thought some of the photos look weirdly processed. Time will tell how Google updates the phone. So far I will say the battery is miles better than my Pixel 4, which I already thought had a pretty decent battery.

it's interesting, I've learned over the years that what smartphone reviewers prioritise and the whole tech reviewer culture is a lot different from mine in some ways. So the things that reviewers bang on about a lot in what they do and don't like are different to the lived experience for me. At least you appreciate good alternate phones to the big players such as Xperia and Pixel. I'm also a fairly simple user. I don't use screen lock, find it a chore, can't be bothered with face or fingerprint ID etc. Am happy to pin lock sensitive apps and log in every time to PayPal etc. I find a good keyboard layout and autocorrect for example more important than a lot of the things reviewers care about. Notches, bezels, I never cared about these things. I do love a great camera and speakers though. What this is leading to is re Android 12, I generally agree with you as you mentioned on a review, really like it, a couple of little quirks though that Google have done I find really irritating are you dismiss a notification and they send it back straight away, such as phonecall notifications and also putting their weather notifications at the top of your notifications. But they're nowhere near as bad as some of the terrible, counterintuitive functionality design decisions Facebook have made with notifications and page/group access on their app. So yeah, Android 12 is great but those couple of things are irritating and very intrusive.

They need to turn the sharping down and add contrast to the photos. Contrast is a different form of sharpness, it adds clarity to the tonal gradation in images witch gives it depth. That's why "vintage" lenes still look sharp compared to "modern" lenses, there's way higher contrast rendition because of fewer elements inside the lens.

The speech to text demo genuinely makes my jaw drop

[@LuisMendez-up5te]

7:38 I held my Pixel 2 XL up to the speaker to see if it could keep up with the transcription. It did it exactly as it appeared on Marques' Pixel 6 Pro. Mine was even better because it picked up the mistake "Dramatically" and put in "Grammatically" just like it was supposed to :)

I love the bar look, yes it makes a statement and they should keep a few years. It's great. That's why 20 bucks says they ditch it on the 7.

[@smalltownglobalproductions]

Just so you'll know, professional videographers and photographers only get three out of ten great shots on a camera on average. So an occasional bad photo is not a bad average for this.

[@DeadOrDyingBattery]

I like Marques. In a world where everyone is shouting to defend their "team", Marques stays neutral. He recognizes the successes and doesn't disrespect any risk taken. It's calming. Lots of love.

Ironic statement considering he has a BLM wristband on.

@@barrychuckle5565 What the hell does his support of BLM have to do with anything. The comment is related to Marques as a tech reviewer. Wearing a BLM wristband is completely irrelevant here and has no influence over his reviews of tech gadgets.

I think one of the things that constantly gets left out in all the current Pixel 6 reviews is the fact that it runs stock Android. That's almost the biggest selling point for me personally. That paired with all the good and bad things and the price made me choose this phone over any other current flagship phone.

[@alexspata]

true

[@rexy21]

I mean... That's always been a pixel trait...

[@rushpan93]

It's an obvious thing that doesn't need to be said though.

[@lauderday8]

Just because it's a given with these phones doesn't mean it's not worth mentioning

[@manansgzone]

Yes! being a Pixel 4 and Pixel 5 user - the day to day experience of using stock android is incomparable to any other. It's smoother, faster and doesn't crash ever.

[@erikngn]

Some photos may look overexposed, yeah, but remember that there is a double exposure slider in the Google Camera’s viewfinder which you can use to make the shadows and dark areas darker or brighter in real time

[@YusriSalleh]

i always use that to increase shadow

[@Dranzerk8908]

Its not overexposed, some reason reviews are not getting that googles Night Mode is enabled by default in Android 12. It is just putting "in more light" because of that. Not sure why reviewers aren't catching onto that..

[@simonlock5595]

It's over processed . Watch again , that's what he says .

[@peterford9369]

I'm a Pixel fan. But my fanness came with front facing stereo speakers. Face it. When you use any phone, where are your fingers? Your palms? Right over the speakers, on most phones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The camera. But what about the phone? What about the game play? What about watching videos? You want the sound aiming at you. But only Sony and some gamer phones take that into consideration. I'm still using my 3XL. And if battery life is so yuck, on the 6 pro, and no front facing stereo speakers? I'll hang. The goods don't outweigh the cons. Thanks Marquis 👍

[@noelv1976]

I’m actually surprised you didn’t go over the new photo features where it takes accurate photos of dark skin complexions. I mean that’s what I’ve been hearing about these past few days. Interesting to hear about that

This was a big step taken by google, but what makes me anxious is the evolution of the coming years after these steps taken in this pixel 6. It has great potential

Damn... that battery life might be a deal breaker. Loving everything else.

[@micahjohnson9184]

Battery depends on the user, and this is going to get software updates. I don't know what he's doing on the devices, but I see some people getting 7 to 8 hours easy on the new pixels. If you turn on extreme battery saver and aren't a heavy user you should get pretty good battery life even before the updates roll in.

[@DmanLucky_98]

My 2 year old Samsung has better battery life, on screen time. Samsung A50 4000 mAh gets me around 4 to 5 hours medium use, 6 hours lighter use.

@@micahjohnson9184 That's not how people realistically use their phones. Marques' battery tests are often more accurate than other reviewers because it's true to outdoor everyday use.

[@EdouardTavinor]

Yeah this is odd. Some reviewers are amazed by the battery life, saying it's the best of any phone they've tested. Others say it's only average. Maybe some apps are misbehaving.

[@AugmentedGravity]

I feel like we're going to see Samsung and Google go at it for being the Android answer to iPhones. Tensor vs Exynos etc
