Hey Chaps! Are you impressed by the Pixel 6 Pro? 🤔 👉 Update: iPhone 13 Pro scores are a bit low - i think it must have been in low power mode (unintentional), should be 1721 / 4523. but my point still stands that the iPhone is clearly still the most powerful phone on the market.

I have the Pixel 2 XL and have always loved it. My friends are constantly bickering me to switch back to Apple, but Ive really fell in love with my Pixel. Due to no more Upgrades, its time for me to move on from the 2, and hopefully the 6 will be something I fall in love with when Im able to preview one in a store. Thank you for your review! It was very in depth and answered a lot of questions I have.

[@linky224]

I'm also on the Pixel 2 XL train! I'm actually considering just changing the battery instead of buying the 6 Pro, because it's pretty pricy in Canada and my 2 XL still runs like a charm. Do you feel like the upgrade is worth it?

You have a solid phone. Surprised your battery is still kicking.

No point in it having face unlock anyway unless Google manages to add proper biometrics under the screen, because if they cut out some of the screen for those biometrics (like a certain other phone) I'm pretty sure Android users would have an aneurism given how much they troll over notch designs.

@Imran A Google phone have social media optimized like iPhone?

[@forsakenwarlord5752]

@@amirtorhan2762 ask yourself why we couldn't have had both on the pixel 4 XL instead of being stuck with only face unlock. It's their choice of what they do with their phone when they develop it. I would say my opinion is face unlock is less secure, annoying in situations, and intrusive in certain situations. Did you know by chance that if you were arrested in the United States and had face unlock on your phone the police do not need a warrant to unlock your phone by using your face. If you have fingerprint unlock on your phone it requires a warrant to unlock your phone for any reason. I'm not saying this fits everyone but to me face unlock is unnecessary and unsafe.

As someone who previously had a fairly basic motorola phone with a subpar camera, the high pixel count and the telephoto was really still missed when I went to a Pixel 5. So I'm happy to see they brought some new camera hardware and a telephoto back to Pixel 6 Pro. Looking forward to getting one soon. I just tried it out at Best Buy.

[@rcbmulder]

whats the super res like on the 6 ? can you get away with the lack of optical zoom up to x4 ?

[@AndrewJonesMcGuire]

Am I getting it? Yup. My original plan was to do the same as I did with this phone (Pixel3a) and buy it outright, after the price had dropped a bit more.... But Three advertised the Pixel6 (not pro) on Instagram, and I found myself upgrading at 4am on Saturday (you know when all the best decisions are made).

Great review! Do you notice any green tint (or other color tint) at low brightness on the 6 non-pro? I'm wanting to upgrade from my 4XL which has a bad green tint at low brightness (as most 4XL's do), which is pretty annoying. I don't think I'll bother if it has the same issue.

[@glennaa11]

I pre-ordered the 6 pro 128gb version. I've had my OP5 since launch and still have 33% of the storage free so I figured it would be fine. I've never used face unlock and doubt I would use it. Thanks for the real world review. I saw people freaking out about benchmarks this morning and had to chuckle.

Wonderful review! Pretty much said everything I was hoping and some of the things I kind of expected, that I hope updates can actually control. I mean out of the box brand new for just a new iteration of any phone isn't going to be perfect and can get better. And even though the pixels seems like that, I think everyone has completely decided that this is a brand new phone and really shouldn't even have the 6 on it! And to add one great kudos, this was the very first video that popped up for me after the embargo. You win!!!!! And I hope that means great things for you on this video.

[@richardnoble3989]

Hey Tom, enjoy your videos - first time comment! Definitely like the idea of the Pixel 6 Pro. I moved from Huawei Mate 20 to Oppo Find X2 Pro when the google issues surfaced. Currently trying to think about upgrading to a new phone - I'd be interested in a comparison video that looks at the main Android phones at the price point the Pixel 6 Pro is coming out on monthly contracts - e.g. where does the Pixel 6 Pro sit alongside the S21+ and the Oppo Find X3 Pro, the two main premium handsets at the same monthly price as the Pixel 6 Pro. For me the most important features are being waterproof, having a great camera system and long battery life. As interesting as comparisons with the iPhone is, the key comparisons must be against other android phones - switching ecosystems is a VERY big step!

[@FallenAngelMMA]

I would love the regular 6 over the pro. I think the price point of the regular pixel 6 is amazing for the quality of the phone + camera + android experience we get (still I would love a music player app for offline content by Google out of the box … KZbin player thing isn’t that good ). I think the regular pixel 6 would really do well in sales too.

[@k12rising]

regular S21 is clearly better than regular 6 apart from battery

[@moe_1886]

Thanks for the review... must admit, I had to go back a few times as some of the locations looked familiar... The Quay in Exeter? So was more excited seeing that at first! 😂 Otherwise, I'm still going to buy the P6 Pro after flipping between the 2, and likely the Cloudy White colour. Have to wait until I see the colours in person though, as the Sorta Sunny is 'sorta' growing on me! 🤭 Just a shame that Google didn't offer all the colours across both models!

For me tho if you plan on recording for your you tube channel and the video quality isn't much difference between the pixel 5 (which I have) and the 6 and with no face ID why would you update?

Usually I don't take much videos. Only in occasions. Photos are where my area. I always use the camera for taking photo. So it's perfect phone for me.

The tensor chip is made by Samsung and uses a similar core setup but with 2 high performance cores instead of 1 compared to the Exynos 2100. It has also got a slightly better 20 core gpu, but all in all, it's pretty much a slower Exynos 2100 but with another name. So it's not like Apple and their A chips which is designed by Apple themselves.

[@itsasadbunny]

It also has googles own TPUs, you just named 3 more big changes so I don't see how its not a custom chip? If they maybe JUST added a tpu then you can argue this, but they made 4 major changes how is that not custom?

It's basically a Exynos chip completely built and designed by Samsung with added ISP and TPU by Google and a lot of bs marketing. Read about it yourself.

Unfortunately full face unlock doesnt exist on Android because if you cut away more of the screen to house the biometrics then Android users throw a wobbly. Never made sense to me, because the notch area on Android os usually taken up by loads of app notification icons instead, often multiple icons per app, and so many that it becomes useless background clutter which gets ignored. Much rather have technology there instead which gets used all the time.

That's a tough call without Android being more restrictive on how applications behave. Android just has more scope for allowing apps to use up more resources. Nothing wrong with imposing restrictions on a device with limited resources, been like than even in Symbian days (smartphones before Android was a thing), else you end up with a bogged down crapfest like Microsoft Windows, and nobody wants that.

[@dogboy0912]

Gimmick? Unlocking a phone with a password or pattern takes like 2 seconds, yet tons of people would rather use fingerprint or face because it's even easier.

[@karlki8]

@@dogboy0912 i use the the fingerprint. Other than that, face unlocking feature is nothing but a gimmick to me. Id rather type in my password than use that garbage

[@Thetechchap]

Well that's worked out well hah!

[@yoshatabi]

Yeah I never cared for face unlock either

[@kaihsiangju]

Same here, I prefer fingerprint than face unclock. on top of that, I live in the country where people still wear masks regardless of the vaccine, and faceId is just hit or miss.

[@vittorioruso101]

My biggest issue having an android is that the resolution of photos and videos doesn't always translate well to social media platforms like Instagram. Is there a work around for this?

[@mayank09pratap]

google is working with major social media platforms to solve these issues. they already solved it on snapchat. So with time it won't be a problem.

[@doitcom]

Nice to see you used the Hot Fuzz town Sandford (Wells)! Keep up the top work.

[@alii2284]

tbh, I only care about 1. good looking, thin bezzels, screen. 2. Great cameras. 3. decent battery life.

Interesting no one's mentioning that the Google's Tensor SoC is slower than Apple's A12 Bionic which is 3 years old!

[@lilgotti56]

No one cares....unless you Geekbench watcher

[@DJaquithFL]

@@lilgotti56 .. No one as in losers cares about speed?

[@yoshatabi]

@@DJaquithFL yes? Seriously only a few people care who actually push their phone to the limit daily. Most people won't notice the difference because it's so minimal

[@DJaquithFL]

@@yoshatabi .. So at what point is speed irrelevant? Here's a logic bomb for you .. one of the reasons people replace their phones is because it's becoming too slow for them. Now imagine starting day one with a phone that's four or five years slower than the current competition!!!???

[@lilgotti56]

@@DJaquithFLyou barely see a difference in real life usage between a high-end Android phone and an iPhone.

[@SD-vs4wx]

I don't if you know this but the magic eraser thing is available on samsung phone for years now and in my opinion the performance of the tensor chip is similar to that of a SD865+ at best 870

[@alexghazarian1144]

I gotta admit, I'm an iPhone guy. But the photo you got with that digital zoom on the Pixel 6 Pro is insane! It managed to maintain a solid amount of detail despite it being digital zoom. Very usable and good looking zoom photo

[@tibosee]

You’re getting a phone for digital zoom? It’s a big difference between 13 Pro and the Pixel 6 Pro? I think not

[@alexghazarian1144]

@@tibosee Brother, you can literally see more detail in the digitally zoomed shot on the pixel compared to the iPhone. And I never said I'd upgrade to the pixel 6 series. I have an iPhone 12 Pro max and don't plan on upgrading due to school costs. Plus I'm not going back to android. I prefer iOS so that's where I'm staying. And where did I say I'm getting the phone cuz of the digital zoom? I merely admired how good it was

[@xen1368]

So I made the right decision in choosing the iPhone 13 PRO

[@Bmarkrivera]

I'll be sending mine back. Between the uneven stereo speakers, the slow fingerprint sensor, dim display and lack of face unlock I just can't keep it over my old galaxy s21 plus.

[@robi893]

It's interesting that you mentioned you couldn't use magic eraser on photos not taken on the phone itself, as all my old photos taken from my old Samsung phone, I am able to use that function

[@shayanabdulmaalik2450]

Can you please tell me that Korean movie name which is playing on screen display speakers layer portion?

[@NizarNoor]

Face unlock isn’t practical these days unless you’re an anti-masker

[@kolisettyraghavendra6565]

Is the phone you are reviewing really dual tone? It looks like white all over and very different from the pictures

[@CyberGy]

Thanks for the great review, one question. Do you know if this pixel 6 have the unlimited cloud storage for photos same as previous generations?

[@CyberGy]

Just talked to google and it seems no free unlimited cloud storage and confirmed from pixel 6 settings

[@apaul9776]

What about the off line voice to text capability. Several US commentators have said that it is exceptionally good. Is it available in the UK? It should be, but one UK KZbin channel said that it was not. I'd be very grateful to find out - it would be a key feature for me.

[@Dunbarius]

Been waiting for Black Friday to get the OP9 Pro but this is looking like a flat out upgrade

[@BiffTheBanana]

That moon exhibit was at my local park last week!!!

[@souravsharma3012]

Which camera u use for recording your KZbin videos?

[@nedlee]

Was on the market for a new phone (to replace Pixel 3a) & headphones, so pre-ordering the Pixel 6 with free Bose 700 was a no brainer. Not bad for 600 chops.

[@ste29]

Is that Sky Glass you’ve got in the background there?

[@valt5751]

Awesome Tom.Such detailed review with great video quality as always.

[@MissMobileTech]

Such a great video too watch, both information wise and visually! As a creator myself I just wish my videos will be at this level one day! Oh and I've pre-ordered the 6. Didn't go for the Pro in the end because as you said, it just felt like the better 'bang for buck'. Can't wait to have it and share my opinions 😊😍

[@cdm297]

Does it have multiple profiles, like one personal and one work?
