Preordered the Pixel 6 in sorta seafoam. Ordered the spigen phone case with clear backing to show off at least one of the color tones in the back. Excited to be more engaged with photos as that was something I never really did in the past Really enjoyed the review. Charming!

[@PhilDeschaine357SLR]

I have had my Pixel 6 for a week now and I really love it. I have been a Samsung Note guy for the past years, paying twice as much as I did for this phone for the past 5 Notes and this phone is MUCH BETTER. I am amazed by the Android 12 features with this phone and the device itself is peppy and solid. This may be my best technology decision in the past 2 years. Thank you Google for this great phone at a great price.

[@Jon_Drew]

What was your last Note series phone? I still have the Note 10+ and I love it, it's a beast of a phone. I want to update for a newer smaller phone and something with a better camera... but I don't want to pay the amount for the new Samsung Galaxy s22(regular s22 not plus or ultra), and plus I hear the battery isn't very good. My first pick to replace my Note 10+ is the regular Google Pixel 6.

you need to register your fingerprint when it's normal, wet and dry because depending on which state your fingers are in, the phone might not recognize. dry fingers look different than normal or wet fingers. at least according to fingerprint scanners.

[@Wildmunkee]

Didn’t they announce only 5 years for security updates and only 3 for OS?

[@LanceX666]

google's site lists those as the guaranteed/minimum years of support. It is possible, especially now that the tensor cpu is made in house, that google could extend OS updates longer if tensor ages well. basically plan for this level of support, but you could get more. i doubt they would ever extend it past the 5 years thou.

[@JollyOldCanuck]

@CGGS_Gaming Not receiving new features past android 15 drags down the Pixels value proposition, they need to match Apple’s 7 years of software OS and security support if they want to be taken seriously as an alternative to the iPhone.

@CGGS_Gaming you are aware that it’s still misleading right?

[@Wildmunkee]

[@micahjohnson9184]

I think the pixel 6 is a great choice. I bought the pixel 6 let me explain the reasoning. Same chip, and good battery life performance. With a 30Hz difference that most people won't notice cause it runs so smooth. I bought it for $838. I got a case, a 30 watt charger, and 2 years of device protection. But with a trade in of the pixel 4a 5g. I get $250 credit back so I'm really getting everything for less than the phone itself under Google Fi. Even without the trade in the 599 price is a absolute steal not to mention free pixel buds. If you want the pro go for it if you have the cash but the normal 6 does just as well with photos and video. It just depends if you want to spend the cash on 120 hz and a telephoto and maybe display but I think the flat display of the pixel 6 looks great and has no light bleed in. Not to say there's accidental touches on the Pixel 6 Pro cause they're probably isn't, but it's not likely to happen on the normal pixel 6. The pixel 6 display is beautiful but either will be really good. I think you would have to really pixel peep to notice major differences unless your a tech enthusiast like many of us. 👍

Oh man the photo processing time vs 5 is a huge improvement

Not really

I have just purchased this phone used, I hope it will impress me.

"I'm not a case person." Translation 1: "I have money to BURN, baby." Translation 2: "I've got GRIPPY Spider-Man hands, baby."

[@KamasamaK]

I never put a case on my Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, or Pixel 2 and managed to never drop them. I wouldn't say I have particularly grippy hands, nor are they especially large. You just have to find a way to hold the phone right in its different orientations. It helps that the phones were reasonably sized and none of them were glossy in the places where you would grip, which is a trend I've hated. I ordered a Pixel 6 and will see how that does. It's the largest phone I've ever had, but from what I've heard the normal one is matte around the edges so it might still be fine.

I'm the polar opposite of that: I'm cheap and clumsy, so I guess I'm a case person whether I like it or not.

I sure hope the rest of the reviews aren't so positive on the ludicrous huge buttons in Android 12. Google, make it an optional mode if you want, but most of your users have better eyesight and dexterity than an 80yr old. I don't need a Jitterbug.

[@ishansharma2463]

Lol seriously? I love the bigger buttons not because of my eyesight ( I have a good vision) but because it looks so good and customisable.

[@pilotdog68]

@@ishansharma2463 it's way less customizable. Let the user pick how many buttons they want in a row.

My new Google pixel 6 is awesome 👍 Recommend it for everyone. I'm still learning. That's why I watched this video. Speak and it teachers you . Love it 👍🇦🇺

[@naveenreddy58]

small correction buddy, google didnt promis for 5 years of major os updates, google said atleast 3 years of major os updates and atleast 5 years of security updates

[@mgapps5177]

After this review I'll definitely upgrade from my pixel 4a5g 👌

[@stevanb.2590]

After 6 years of using Samsung only, I'm sure Pixel 6 or 6 Pro is my next phone, but seeing some reviews I kinda expected cameras, especially video to be better. It's not like they didn't have resources. So much focusing on the pictures made video recording be like some feature that's rarely used, I really don't get it...

I mean I really like my Pixel 6 but for me an expandable storage and headphone jack are 2 things I wish it had for me to really consider it "perfect"

I am a bit torn without the face unlock.

[@jackroy9094]

Same. That is literally my biggest issue.

[@BrianSimmons]

Just one point of clarification.....Google has backtracked on the 5 years of major updates. The Pixel 6 phones will only receive 3 years of OS updates. 11:05

[@zukacs]

no wsy

[@silvercomet5330]

and 5 years of security. That’s more than enough support for the price.

[@Tanvir_x3]

3 updates are less?

[@BrianSimmons]

@@Tanvir_x3 3 is what they have been offering in recent devices. There was talk of them extending it to 5 years of major OS changes, but I'm the end they didn't change from what they were currently doing.

I've been rocking the Pixel 2 XL since black Friday 2017 and am looking to upgrade to the Pixel 6. Is the Regular Pixel 6 around the same size of the 2 XL? Or slightly bigger? I wouldn't mind either way, just curious.

[@joshuagalasse8846]

I am in the exact same situation as you! the pixel is just slightly bigger normally

@@joshuagalasse8846 since switching to Pixel 4 years ago, I don't see myself ever returning to any other Android phone ever again. This has been the BEST phone I ever owned. Look forward to upgrading!
