Pixel 6 Review: the only smartphone you should buy

[@CoolGuyDoingCoolStuff]

Crazy how we consider $600 for a phone inexpensive these days

[@robertlittle8623]

It's the payment plans that make it bearable for most. If they took that away they would sell far less of these flagship devices.

[@GreyRock100]

[@abhinandhari7812]

Being an Indian, yeah that's not cheap, I respect your mindset. I am buying this as it's a phone series I always loved and I didn't want to import it and the previous versions weren't present in India. Plus, it's finally with my own money, so :) I wouldn't mind spending this much, just because I am a fanboy. Otherwise na, I was only gonna buy something for around 200$, 300 max, a Xiaomi prolly

[@scoobert2991]

Well...when you use to spending...($1500)...on a..."IPHONE"...every few year's or so. ($600)...isn't nothing.

Writing this from a Pixel 6 - it's been amazing so far, saving £35 per month compared to same contract on iPhone 13 Pro Max and haven't missed it at all since I returned it (I could almost buy 2 pixels for the price of a 13 Pro Max in the UK)

[@MrKamizz]

Writing this from iPhone 13 pro with total awareness that I can purchase 4 Chinese brand good enough to use every day phones, all my family can have new ones. What I can do I’m selfish or just want phone that I can trust for next 5 years. Latest history of my phones google nexus 5 (returned garbage) > lg g2 (destroyed )> iPhone 5 se ( love it) > iPhone 7 (good in hand )> Samsung s10 (exynos … sold in 3 monts) > iphone 5 se (too small screen but chugging great ) > iPhone 13 pro (earned trust)

I bought a new Pixel 6 base model and everything runs good + the user experience and everything you can do is phenomenal . Most phone I buy i keep it for at least 3 . I can see my self using google 6 for next 3 or so year. You cant beat the price and what phone offers.

[@billiamnotbob]

I'm an Apple user these days but I picked up the Pixel 6 because it interested me. I've never had a Pixel before having used Sammy in my Android days. This is a really sweet phone! The quality of the build for the price is fantastic. It's smooth and quite good. The cameras are nice as well. I think people expect too much these days. For this price, these cameras are pretty nice and the OS works much better since the January update. I didn't experience any glitches before it, other than the fingerprint sensor not being that great and the occasional app freeze. Both have improved since the update. If I were to switch back to Android, this is the phone I'd use.

What Samsung did you have last? I'm actually still using Samsung over Moto, Xiaomi, Apple, LG and OnePlus.

[@CameronDC-Grimes]

@@billiamnotbob I use a 6.4" Samsung Flagship it works well for me. And I'm now in the Samsung ecosystem and I'm enjoying it far more than when I was in Apple. My Galaxy Buds Pro blow away Apple Airpods Pro and I love Dex and Bixby. Can't believe I was stuck in Apple so long. Apple has great phones but they are very restricting. Can't repair them and they have hardware IDs preventing you from replacing Apple parts with genuine Apple parts. Samsung is charging to much for their current flagships but I'm able to cheaply repair them and it's much easier to do so. If you have ever tried to remove Apple back glass covers you know what I mean. Permanent adhesive on glass

[@gravychunks903]

I have that same phone that you are using in the review. It is quite the game changer for me. Using it for work, photography, and filming guitar. With all the update issues it has had for some people, I was never really affected. Thanks for all of your great videos!

[@DeAnoJackson]

I've owned a lot of phones. My favorite used to be the Nexus 6P. That is, until I got my Pixel 6. The price is incredible for what you get, the phone while bigger than any other phone I've ever used I've gotten used to, i flatly hate curved screens so this flat screen is perfect, performance is fantastic, and the battery life does very well. Seriously have not been this happy with a phone in years.

[@Mad.Maxx.77]

I returned my P6 Pro after a week because of its curved screen. I just couldn't get used to it. The P6, on the other hand, is a delight to use. The January update seems to have improved the fingerprint scanner performance, which was disappointing at first. I still prefer the scanner on the back, like my 3XL. For now, however, I'm perfectly content with my P6. Nice review, mate!!

After using a s9 since it launched moving to the pixel 6 pro it amazes me how much you can zoom in after taking a photo and still keeping excellent detail . That's a new experience for me

[@ALIRTHCN]

I own this for a week now. All bugs are gone with the update and it's silky smooth even I always switch off 90Hz. Android 12 itself is buttery smooth and you feel no difference switching to 60hz (to save battery). At first I doubted their true skin color detection to be real but it is. I checked it side by side with iphone 13 pro max and found Pixel 6 really has a much better reproduction of skin color and handling highlights in the photos. I also compared it with Oneplus 10 pro (trial 30 days offer) where the camera overexposed lights when using front camera portrait mode...Pixel is indeed lovely in every aspects...

[@phandroid]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@rolandrohde]

I spent quite some time deciding between the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, the Realme GT 2 Pro and a Samsung. I chose the Pixel 6 since the curved glass on the Pro is a no-go for me. The Samsung was too expensive, since the only one with a camera that can compete with the Pixel is the S22 Ultra, and that is twice the price of the 6. The Realme was really tempting because it has a nice design and top-level specs, but the camera and uncertain Software Support made me hesitate to buy one. Also...I have grown to love the extra Software Features the Pixel offers, like the background music identification...

[@trishagail353]

I've had my Pixel 6 pro for about 10 days now and I love it! The voice to text is absolutely amazing! I've had no issues so far...

[@Danish_Guy_77]

Been a OnePlus user for many years, mainly due to the OS, but as they move away from current OS, Pixel seams like the only option, will be hard to miss the fast charging though... Prices are still quite high In Scandinavia, approx $950 for the 6 & $1.500 for the pro

[@glazgowboy]

I'm facing the same dilemma. I currently own a OnePlus 6T McLaren. It's been great, but is now over 3 years old and I'm looking for a replacement. I won't buy Samsung because of prior experience, so it's probably going to be Pixel. However, I'm probably going to wait for the U.S. release of the OnePlus 10 Pro and see what the real world reviews are of the software. Currently, my OnePlus has the cleanest Android, other than Google Pixel. No bloatware and, like you said, their charging speeds blow anything else out of the water. On my 3+ year old OnePlus I still get good battery life, 50% charge in about 10 minutes, and full 100% in 30. I'm mostly looking at a new phone for a better camera. It's the one area where OnePlus has traditionally come up short. However, they seem to be very competitive with the other top brands now.

[@Danish_Guy_77]

[@charleswheatcroft]

I bought mine a couple of days ago to replace my 2 year old Pixel 3a. The 3a was fine but the RAM was too low and apps auto-closed which was annoying. The Pixel 6 solves this. Everything about the 6 is better apart from the fingerprint reader. I knew it was going to be bad and it is. It's slow and doesn't seem to recognise my thumb no matter what I do. I have increased the sensitivity in the display settings which helped somewhat. The rear mounted reader was a winner on previous models or even a power button reader as on a lot of Xiaomi's. Still, I got it at a knock down price and am very happy. Slippy as hell though - get a case!

[@eamonob84]

I'm still using my 3a. I have looked at the 6, but I think it's just too big. How has the size difference been? I'm likely going to wait for the 6a to upgrade.

[@charleswheatcroft]

@@eamonob84 I don't think there is much difference but I'm not particularly sensitive to phone size. It fits in my pocket and it 'feels' more like the 3a in my pocket than a Xiaomi Poco x3 which I use as a second device. That's more to do with the weight though as the x3 is 200g+

[@udithuday1714]

I wish they've kept the symmetry on this device as the Pixel 5, the design is great once you look at it from the back but front, very hard to get even used too.

[@omarjimenez8895]

I love Pixels, there's only one single thing keeping me from using them They're too wide. While other phones are getting slimmer I've noticed the form factor is much more comfortable ergonomically. I've gone all in and currently use a Sony Xperia I MK II Now everytime I switch to my Pixel 6 it's a beautiful software experience but the physical phone itself is just too chunky for me to get past

[@idofps9709]

I thought it felt way skinnier than any phone when, almost didnt buy it. BUT tbf i use a case on my phones and that fixed my issue mostly

[@helas33]

I still love my Pixel 6 but yea, I'm finding it a bit harder to hold even though I'm coming from a 4xl.

[@rivers8517]

I have the Pixel 6 pro and its totally awesome. The only downside to me is the curved screen. The curved edge is a bit harder to get touch to work. Other than that the Pixel 6 pro is awesome. Voice to text works amazingly well even in airplane mode. The camera is right up there with the iphone 13 pro too.

[@dubaigeek1988]

I had both and believe me pixel 6 is better in capturing photos but iPhone wins in the video department due to HDR and pro raw.

[@TheYAMAMAHA]

Durability is what matters most to me. I still have the Pixel 1. Yes the first Google pixel, has never been damaged or fixed in any way. My real question is the quality of battery. Does it fail and get weak rapidly?

[@altep8148]

I was going to buy this phone until I tested it at a Verizon store and it seemed to get very hot. The Fingerprint sensor was a concern for me. They should have left it on the back.

I have had no issues with the fingerprint sensor. Store floor models are running demo software loops and should not be used as a reference for thermal performance. This phone doesn't run any hotter than other flagship devices from 2021.

[@199hf]

I have had the Palm Pre, Blackberry 10, Samsung and all Pixel devices including the most recent Pixel 6. I literally switched to the iPhone 13 recently for two reasons. Connectivity and Bluetooth connection. I've always had some type of carrier disconnection with Pixel and put up with it but recent the 6 was too much. Bluetooth was the same here and there disconnect especially with AA. I took a chance into the Apple ecosystem and I have to be brutally honest that the connection situation is way better than Android for me. I love the Google ecosystem and have Google devices at home but man Car-play plays great in my car and connects great with my Sync system (Ford/Lincoln). Sync would drop connection with Android and recently the carrier connection issues with T-Mobile. I'm keeping my iPhone for this alone though I have a Pixel 4a as a back up just in case.

[@PeterGaunt]

I switched from a cheap Chinese phone (nice in that I could carry two batteries) to a Pixel 3 (great camera and real Android) then last autumn to a Pixel 6. I jumped into that early because in the UK you got a free pair of Bose SC 700 headphones thrown in if you pre-ordered it. It was clearly an excellent phone from the start but it had issues which for some reason you could forgive. Google has fixed most of the software problems by now and partly fixed hardware ones in software. The fingerprint reader is still a bit problematic until you work out which part of your thumb to use. I also find the orientation detector takes time to settle down which makes using Star Walk slower. It's still a great phone which I really enjoy using.

The video was paused, and even though it wasn't actively playing anything the entire phone was hot. it gets really warm even doing google searches.

[@AmitKumar-in7vo]

@@phandroid Ha! Guess I was oblivious as I was using my Pixel 3 till now.

[@samuraipizzacat2171]

Why oh why didn't they make the 6 pro flat 😞

[@laszlovarga_]

Unfortunate that everything i see in these reviews from laptops to phones they're ALWAYS more expensive here in Europe. (In the Netherlands the pixel 6 costs $870 worth of euros while the pixel 6 pro costs $1225 for the 128gb model and $1460 for the 256gb model)

[@oneminutewonder77]

Really the only bugs that I've seen are general inconsistencies with the UI of the device. Occasionally things like the notification shade being transparent, or the keyboard appearing crunched. Just little things that you wouldn't think you would see with the device running stock Android.

[@1221Ralph]

By the keyboard appearing crunched, do you mean when you click to type on a text box, and the text box hides under the keyboard so you can't see what you're typing?

[@oneminutewonder77]

@@1221Ralph no and I can't quite replicate it but it's happened a few times. It's just once the keyboard appears it occasionally looks half the height.

[@1221Ralph]

@@oneminutewonder77 oh. On mine it completely covers the text box so I can't see what I'm typing. It happens maybe once every couple days

[@JayneNicoletti]

This was a great accurate review. I have the pro cuz I'm old and blind. My only complaint is the selfie camera. I rarely do selfies but it should work for the situations I do need them to as I need it for work. The charging for me has improved with update but if you read further, it's the AI working for you. The back video was a bit grainy in certain lighting situations but also improved. I wish there was a HDR turn off for photos because SOMETIMES it's a bit much. Otherwise I love this phone. I just hate Google Photos organization lol.

I bought the pixel 6 and I find out now that it will only work on 4g... although it is capable of 5g, google only allows it in a couple of countries

[@douglasdever6134]

The Pixel 6 pushed me to a S22 Ultra. After having and liking Pixels, the 6 had more bugs than a bed in a inner city cat house.

[@jaywright9635]

😂🤦🏿‍♂️

[@dankelly]

Have they added face unlock yet? If not... When? Until then... 😥

[@lissarx2459]

Am I the only one that can hear the speaker issues? I received this phone the other day and when I talk to people on it I can hear a slight buzzing noise to their words, especially words that have the letter S in them. Often I will hear something that sounds like sleet hitting a window when there is no talking. Any ideas on this? I hate to have to send it back.

[@phandroid]

Have not experienced that issue. Could be a faulty speaker.

[@Ruddy_Games]

Value was so good at launch. I essentially got 30% back from the free headphones promotion and a 50 Google store voucher

[@BojanBojovic]

I am thinking of getting the Pixel 6 now, is modem really that problematic as they say?

[@phandroid]

I have never had issues, but some people do have connectivity problems. It all depends on where you are and the network you are on.

[@BojanBojovic]

@@phandroid Thanks. When it comes to location and network, is the Europe more problematic than the US? Also, is it possible to unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor without previously pressing the button?

[@mbvx7]

both of these new phones are too big. staying with pixel 5 simply because of size. it was very stupid to make both phones massive. 6 should have been 5.8"-6.1" and the pro at 6.7" no sale this year. maybe next year

[@eamonob84]

Kind of like when the Nexus 6 came out. More people stuck with the Nexus 5 for the better size.

[@globalservicios9850]

does it bring unlimited google photos service?

[@phandroid]

That is no longer an offering from Google

[@nac9845]

Wow great video you'll always produce such great content

[@phandroid]

I appreciate that! Always looking to improve with every video I put out.

[@cledugay2596]

The more I watch a pixel 6 the more i am eager to sell my iphone 13 mini just to get the pixel 6

[@jaywright9635]

The Pixel 6 is a really good phone. 😎. Coming from an iPhone user, as well.

[@femdomlover9343]

does Pixel 6 have 4G Plus Carrier Aggregation? I am asking coz I don't have 5G available in my location.

[@kingmajo87]

I was thinking which one to buy. The Pro was to expensive for me and it's not worth that almost 300€ price difference(here in Germany) to the regular 6 for the minor differences in terms of display and camera. Would it has been less of a price difference between these two, I propably would have gone for the Pro. I've chosen the Normal 6 and what I have also to mention is that I'm coming from a 8T and sometimes I'm still missing it, especially in terms of charging speed and it had the better display quality and 120Hz. What I can say for now is that I'm not really that satisfied with my Pixel 6, I'm facing some software issues since its launch and they can't fix it. Beside that it's a great device and it gives you that buttery smooth stock Android Pixel experience. Let's see if they can fix it with future updates. If they can't fix it, I will go back to OnePlus.

[@kingmajo87]

I switched my mind and bought a 6 Pro. I was waiting after the price was dropping for almost 100 Euros. I was sick of the Pixel 6, because I have only problems with it, especially the display was the worst one, I've ever experienced on a smartphone. After I made my experience with the Pro, I can really said that it is worth the price difference. Great display(could be a little bit more brighter), better haptics and so on.

[@rossydv]

I'm torn between the 6 (non-pro) and an Iphone (11 or 12). Sound via headphones is a priority as is battery and memory size. Not a gamer. Any thoughts?

[@rossydv]

@andy bosik received the Pixel 6, decent phone, budget sound via headphones. I'll be returning it.

[@bobbysworldrox]

Agree with you on cameras. They are premium I'm guess due to using new Samsung sensor they upgraded too

[@EmmanuelAgapito]

Bought one for my wife this Christmas. I ended up buying one for myself too.

[@somethingelse25]

I agree and I miss my 4a 5g I traded for a Samsung S21. However, maybe I'll get a 6 or 6a sometime. You did a thorough review that I enjoyed.

[@1221Ralph]

Google gave me $100 for my freaking 4a 5g. Scammers at Google said screen was damaged so they reduced my refund to $100. Screen was practically new as I always had it with a tempered glass screen protector.

[@somethingelse25]

@@1221Ralph that's strange that that would happen. I've only had good experiences with Google. Hopefully the screen didn't crack in route in the mail but you probably packed it really well. It only takes one bad Apple. It was possible it's just one individual that made that decision.

[@1221Ralph]

@@somethingelse25 that's what I thought initially but the trade I'm package they send is really secure. If you Google, lots of people have had similar experiences. A third party checks the phones, not actually google.

[@somethingelse25]

@@1221Ralph they need to be careful who they do business with. I'd write Google directly and show them the evidence of other people having similar experiences and maybe they'll do something about it. Sorry that happened. Some other companies just don't have scruples or quality checks for their employees
