Is the Pixel 6 Pro still worth picking up in 2024 or are the hardware upgrades of the Pixel 8 Pro just worth that extra spend?

The Pixel 6 Pro will always have a special place in my "best of tech" list. I loved this phone and its cameras! This video is very helpful for someone looking at the possible upgrade from pre-P7 line-up. And man, I love the quality! Keep it up!

[@GroundedTech]

Got a lot to work on still but appreciate the feedback mate. The 6 Pro definitely a great option. Actually found it on Amazon Renewed in excellent condition for under £250!

[@xdadev]

My Pixel 6a still goes toe to to toe in cameras with my P8pro. That's great tbh.

[@GroundedTech]

6a is a solid setup still and super easy to use.

[@goldenshumour6809]

even pixel 4xl will do the same

[@GroundedTech]

@goldenshumour6809 still a great phone but it has been well and truly surpassed now.

[@xdadev]

@@GroundedTech Specifically in videos and HDR. Else, the Pixel 4 is still a very capable shooter for still shots.

[@GroundedTech]

@xdadev absolutely agree. Far more practical for many as well. Loved it.

[@TheBcsumaya]

Of course everyone has their opinion but I bought the 8 Pro and decided to return after 2 weeks. My 6 Pro still works great and I didn't notice enough difference to stay with the 8 Pro. Will stay with my 6 Pro until updates end. 8 Pro is a really good phone, just not much of an upgrade with how I use the phone.

[@GroundedTech]

That's totally fair. The 6 Pro is a solid phone if it covers your needs.

[@hickey85]

It's a great video mate, whether someone's thinking of upgrading or considering getting themselves a 6 pro it's very useful 😎

[@GroundedTech]

Ta mate. I think it's a solid option if you're limited on budget still.

[@BLAMMOBA]

GREAT VIDEO DAN!

[@GroundedTech]

THANKS BLAM!

[@DalevonDigital]

I see that DJi Mic. Also great video bro. ✊🏾

[@GroundedTech]

Haha thanks man. Got a little unboxing short of the mic going up tomorrow.

[@davidb7358]

I liked the 6 Pro but 8 Pro was 💯% worth upgrading for better modem and face unlock alone.

[@GroundedTech]

👍🏻

[@trumpetpldn]

Picked up my 6 Pro around this time last year on Ebay for $260, replacing my iPhone SE 2. For me a no-brainer upgrade. The 5G and 120Hz huge display along with the tri-camera system are incredible and I can't see why I'd ever need to upgrade again until the phone dies.

[@GroundedTech]

That's a great move. Definitely feeling that upgrade. Plenty of support left as well. The 4x is 👌🏻

[@igotnolegz]

Great watch mate :)

[@GroundedTech]

Cheers man.

[@iar1980]

The 8 Pro has been a solid upgrade for me from the 6 Pro. The build quality, the slightly better cameras, although i feel the larger telephoto sensor on the 6 Pro was slightly better. Also the 50MP mode has been a fantastic addition and battery life has been better with the Tensor G3 a better performer over the G1. The modem in the G3 could be better than it is, even though it is a improvement over the G1. Overall it is a solid upgrade IMO and will keep me ticking over nicely for a couple of years.

[@GroundedTech]

You'll be ready for that TSMC fabbed Tensor G5 👀 Thanks for the comment mate. I'm really liking the Pixel, but it's still not my favourite phone for general use 👀

[@mxtchv]

Short answer - no. Been using my P6P for 2.5 years already, no issues so far. The screen has even no any scratches, although I use it without glass/case.

[@GroundedTech]

It's great you're still happy with it. It's a solid phone.

[@gunshy0]

I've bought 6 Google pixel 6Pros so far. Absolutely love them. But it's time to try the 8pro before the 9 comes out

[@GroundedTech]

Six! How come? 😅 You'll like the 8 Pro even more.

[@gunshy0]

@@GroundedTech haha I put them through the works. I use them to record for my other channel @The3800Daily I dropped my current one off a balcony on vacation a few days ago 🤣

[@GroundedTech]

@gunshy0 hahaha brilliant. I'll check out the channel 👍🏻

[@GroundedTech]

Cool channel. I have no idea when it comes to cars and engines but appreciate the work 👏🏻

[@nukert658]

Im waiting for the pixel 10 pro lol dont get me wrong pixel 8 pro is awesome especially the cam but I think they still need to do a little work on their chips. So I figure another 2 years an they should have it pretty ironed out and by then the cameras im sure will be even crazier

[@GroundedTech]

It's not a bad shout. Tensor should be produced by TSMC for that model so we should get a significant bump. However G3 is actually quite solid and far better than G1/G2. Will have more on that in an upcoming video 👍🏻

[@lamartthompson9250]

The display on my 6 pro show real good in the sun and I'm in South Florida. Battery can hold til about 5 or 6 after a day at work listen to podcasts and music. I find that a usb to usb cord will tubro charge.

[@GroundedTech]

Glad it's still working great for you.

[@iSyre]

My pixel 6 seems to have a bubbling battery and I'm debating on having the battery fixed or upgrading. Any thoughts that could help me decide?

[@GroundedTech]

I'd find out how much that would cost to sort out first and how long you'd be without the phone.

[@iSyre]

@@GroundedTech right now 130 and hopefully 40 min while I wait.

[@GroundedTech]

Probably a lot cheaper than getting a new phone.

[@MF_OXF]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GroundedTech]

💚💚💚

[@Byron915]

6 pro here. I am looking for the 9 pro in October

[@GroundedTech]

Looks like it's arriving earlier.

[@Gawny7789]

have my watchtime ;)

[@GroundedTech]

Ha thanks 👍🏻

[@chancesareshewears]

7 pro is the way to go

[@GroundedTech]

Why do you think that?

[@spirittravels.]

Is it possible to get the 6 pro to be able to take similar photos at Sunset?

[@GroundedTech]

Easy enough to edit the colour to your liking. Even better if you shoot RAW and edit the pictures in Lightroom Mobile 👍🏻 Will have a dedicated review for the 6 Pro in the coming weeks.

[@spirittravels.]

@@GroundedTech Thanks Looking forward to it. Cheers 👍

[@GroundedTech]

@spirittravels. No problem!

[@marksouthwell4490]

You can adjust the White balance in camera or post photo 😊

[@spirittravels.]

Thanks for the update. Is that Lightroom program free? And which presets would you recommend? Or do you have a specific one that you made to use on the old pixel 6 Pro? ​@@GroundedTech

[@burnttoste7581]

Going to pick up a 6pro for 200 USD off Ebay soon 😤😤

[@GroundedTech]

Bargain frankly.

[@blnrtdota]

whats that case on pixel 6 pro? so cool!

[@GroundedTech]

It's the Moment case. Also allows for lens attachments. It's an incredible feeling case.

[@blnrtdota]

thank you! I will definitely check it out, nice video btw

[@GroundedTech]

@blnrtdota appreciate it. Hopefully you'll find some more you like in future. Got a 6 Pro review coming.

[@I3loodeyed]

Until they update the charging speed it really isn't worth upgrading

[@GroundedTech]

The charging speeds are pretty much the worst aspect.

[@RudyWarman]

The pixel 8 seems way slower in things like Lightroom compared to pixel 6 pro.

[@GroundedTech]

Shouldn't be. Interesting though.

[@RudyWarman]

@@GroundedTech could that be due to ram?

[@GroundedTech]

Could be. But the SoC is quite a bit better.

[@Smoshylife]

6 pro front looks better. 8 just looks like an iPhone

[@GroundedTech]

🤔

[@PRAR1966]

🙂

[@GroundedTech]

😄

[@SeptienPatterson]

You're wearing the wrong hat, mate. Its Ferrari now.

[@GroundedTech]

Got another brill season at Mercedes yet bro!
