Google Pixel 6 Pro: Road Trip Review (California)

[@TheMrMobile]

Thanks for joining for something a little different for this one, folks! Hope you enjoyed the scenery and the slightly mellower vibe. I know it came at the expense of VO quality (recorded it on-site in California) as well as some of my usual detail, but honestly? A month after release, I feel like that's okay. 😄 Stay Mobile!

[@sub_zero_q8636]

No matter the way you shoot or edit your videos. I will still enjoy watching your videos. You do you because I appreciate your efforts. Peace ✌️.

[@Jonas-js2eb]

Your videos are really produced, shot and edited well. Much enjoyed. I think I've seen you around Greenpoint too haha. Not loving the Pixel 6 video tho...

[@IainsWorld]

I'm glad you mentioned the modem issue, first reviewer to point it out. Myself and many others on Reddit are having serious issues with our Pixel 6's not holding a LTE connection and constantly dropping to 3G, or no signal at all! I'm hoping an update will sort it but I've my doubts.

[@royakash96]

Part 5 Starting music name? Editing quality next level Probably 1 of the polished vdo of 2021

[@YOURTECHFRIEND]

Love that you are honest about the Pixel. I also find it a bit of letdown - I can tell you it gets overly hot when playing PUBG :-( I actually don't think it's a good phone, cause I don't like the UI-skin/pure Android either. And the camera is disapointing too.

[@laxpors]

These reviews are always written so eloquently, really separates MrMobile from a lot of other tech youtubers.

[@AdrianFoy]

Agreed! IMO, he sets the bar pretty high. And that's a good thing.

His theater background sets him apart for sure. Much more storytelling charisma and writing ability than any tech KZbinr I can think of. Refreshing to get away from that generic tech bro feel.

[@vlad4evar]

One of the things I love about this channel is that while, sure, you do some reviews near the embargo lift day, you mostly just do your own thing, you take the time to familiarize yourself with a piece of hardware and deliver one of the best-written, most entertaining and comfortable reviews on KZbin. The generous helping of 2000s nostalgia that "When Phones Were Fun" brings also helps.

I LOVE this phone. I've had the Pixel 6 pro almost a month now and it's my favorite phone I've had in years. After software update haven't experienced any bugs and the battery life gets better every day. Best adaptive battery I've ever seen on a phone and the speech to text is an absolute game changer. Size is perfect and the haptics don't take a backseat to any others, even on pa with Apple's taptic engine. So satisfying to use

[@tituslafrombois1164]

"size is perfect" if you consider a phone you can't ever use one handed to be "perfect" then I guess so

[@ArmanRafique]

Personally I think apple is lacking in the haptics department compared to Samsung. But the size of the pixel does seem great and I don't think I've seen a one handed phone in ages so I'm not too concerned about that.

[@rss5969]

Except a crappy fingerprints sensor? And no face unlock?

[@andyH_England]

...mine is good on wifi but sucks on 5G killing the battery in under 4hr sometimes. Battery tests show it is average at best and the iPhone 13 Pro Max beats it by nearly 40%. I was expecting much more and is disappointing. Adaptive Battery is just throttling, turning off notification, reduce refresh rate, lowering brightness, closing background apps and such like. I do not want to limit my phone when it has 5000mAh, I will buy a cheap phone if I wanted to have no features working at their best!

[@singular9]

@@rss5969 I have no issues with that either

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

My battery life has been great. I suspect it's bc I rely on Wi-Fi a lot more than data when I'm at home. I think the variance is probably when 5G is being used a lot or when people are searching for a 5G network.

Finally a reviewer that gets that people actually want this extreme HDR effect and praises the Pixel for delivering that instead of EVERY other review complaining that it's bad for editing in post 🙄 Smartphones are for point and shoot and not for professional photography! Great video overall 👌 keep mobile Mr. Fisher 👍

[@pixels_per_inch]

It's funny, when Sony makes a professional smartphone, people complain about the shots being too "dull" or natural. Then when Google makes point and shoot it's "too overprocessed". Those reviewers and their double standards are getting kind of annoying.

Haha its true. The pixel is not what i will reach for for people shots, but when travelling, nothing compares to it. I can upload straight to social media without any edit because it looks so glorious

I tried to like this phone, Pixel 6 Pro, but I ended up returning it. The adaptive brightness kept changing even when there's no change in lighting. Answering calls using voice did not work (did switch the toggle for that feature). & issues with 5G network consistency. They should drop the word "pro" and put Pixel 6 Premium Economy Plus. Excellent video review as always!

[@BenjaminMcCormickCreative]

I always enjoy your reviews because you have style and are pretty accurate even if your experience and perspective is different. Cheers!

Why are reviewers always so nit-picking when it comes to android phones but always are just all glorifying iPhones even on things that are really BAD like the charging speed, lens flares, iOS bugs, same design and same notch... etc

[@MrModikoe]

well iPhone doesn't quite have competition that's why so many of it's flaws are overlooked. Now in the Android community, the Pixel cannot afford to have such flaws(some are just silly in my opinion), cause it's gonna get eaten alive. So it's not about trying to hide away from it's flaws but about whether Googles listens and fix all of them in the next generation..

[@andyH_England]

@@MrModikoe Yes, good answer. There are many great Android phones especially outside the US, so it has to be competitive and Google has released a bit of a mess. Hopefully, updates will sort most out!

[@vercoda9997]

I like my new Pixel Pro - as a heavy-duty photographer, it's doing well, despite its underwhelming zoom. Still, the pros outweigh the cons, and it's doing more that my trusty old Canon could in some things, which impressed. But be warned - my pixel pro has flung itself to the floor a few times, to my surprise. It's uncased, and I've noticed that the tiniest of vibrations - typing on a keyboard, walking about the office - will send it stealthily, slowwwwwly but surely creeping across a desk surface until, lemming-like, it hurls itself over the edge of the desk, despite being placed down a good 6 inches away from the edge. That's happened 3 or 4 times now, without damage, thankfully, but just by luck. Beware of that literal feature creep...

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Just got my 6 Pro on Monday and I've barely been able to really push the cameras but from what I've shot and experimented with on Filmic Pro and ProShot I'm happy to know that Google has lended support for all three lenses in third party apps. We get 4k24-60fps on all lenses using Filmic Pro as well! The charging speed is definitely sloooooow and the battery life has had enough time to adapt to my usage but without any major camera updates I have very high hopes for this gorgeous device. 5g is a letdown though. To this date the OnePlus 7 Pro has been the only phone I've had that can play 2160@60fps without buffering except for the initial switch. Loving the 6 Pro though. I'll be at a marina tomorrow so I should be able to steal a few sunrise pics.

[@LilCow]

I went on a trip over the weekend and absolutely loved the camera. Granted, I didn't shoot any video, and was a bit disappointed by the noise introduced when pushing the 4x camera to 20x at night. And to be fair, the adaptive battery charger is turned on by default, which limits how fast the battery charges to help prolong the life of the battery. I got a full day's charge even with more than typical use on the trip (and the bouncing between 5G and LTE), so slow charging the battery over night with the peace of mind that the battery is going to receive less wear and tear is fine in my book. And if you would rather have your battery charge faster, I would assume turning off the adaptive charging in the battery settings would speed that up.
