The perfect phone for the person who is in the constant 3 month relationship. The Magic Eraser saves lives

If Google really wants to have his market share with Apple and Samsung they NEED TO SELL Pixel worldwide, not only in USA, Australia, Germany and etc but in others counties as well, that's ridiculous

Almost a year, still can't get over the intro in this video. Props to the editor. Absolutely wonderful

I am new to your reviews and I am liking them a lot. The description you gave of the real strengths to the Tensor is one of the best I have seen, and you do understand about photography and make pertinent comparisons, which is not too common with other reviewers and reviews sites.Your list of drawbacks is also very good, and these are things which will matter in actual use. Particularly the battery life, if there is anything keeping me from getting the Pixel 6 is that.
If I may add a few problems which are not often mentioned but can be a deal breaker for some:
1) Google deliberately prevents their phones, including the Pixel 6, to stream video and audio to HDMI via a dongle. This is because they want users to use their chromecast instead. But this is limiting. Latency over chromecast (wifi essentially) is high. So one cannot for instance run a steam link on the phone to stream games to a projector over LAN, because latency will cause problems. Similarly, someone simply wanting to display a presentation or other material via hdmi will be unable to.
Admittedly not a lot of people will need that. But if they do, finding up that their expensive tech marvel cannot do what a few hundreds bucks phone can, and knowing that it is a deliberate choice from Google.. Well, it leaves a bit of bitter aftertaste.
2) Google implementation of audio streaming prevents some dongles and devices to receive audio. For instance your average wired phone adapter on amazon or similar will not work with this Pixel. It is possible to find compatible adapters and they are not too expensive. But the problem will affect high end DAC too, external audio interfaces which musicians might like to use on the go, and similar.
Again, not necessarily a common scenario, but finding out that your high tech phone is designed so to prevent you from doing these basic things which any cheap handset can do.. It does not feel so good.

Its crazy how in 2001 i would wake up, turn my pc on, brew a pot of coffee, use the restroom, get some water, and come back to my computer for it to still be booting up and now we're complaining it takes 0.5s to get into our phones.

The sign in front of the rocks, I am shocked at how well it filled in that area. It looks like a real world rock structure.

MKBHD, you speak on beat!

Thank you for your informative + insightful review. I enjoy hearing your perspective and explanations. Appreciate you sharing about the little details and nuisances.

It's been a few days with my new phone (Pixel 6 Pro) after a few years of really loving my Pixel 3. Finding lots of pros and cons too. Overall very happy with the upgrade

Pixels are the only Android phones which uses their camera capabalities in the third party apps via pixel core. That should be a big selling point but no one seems to focus on that

[moosafahim]

that speech to text feature is really damn impressive

[fozzymalik]

This review has been so helpful! Its sealed the deal for me. Thank you!

[davidnorton]

Wow. Clear and helpful review. And your video editing and presentation is top notch. I'll be back to your channel next time I need a tech review. Thanks man!

You can speed up the fingerprint reader by going into settings, display and enable increase touch sensitivity.

[BryceEdwardBrown]

Huge fan of the visor look, definitely separates it from other smartphones

[Hambone]

Great review sir! Your videos are always so informative and I've come to expect them to be but not in a unappreciative way. I watch a new video and know out of the gate your are going to nail it outta the park. Each review is a new refreshing experience. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[somethingelse]

Great review. Just ordered my Pixel 6 and it arrives tomorrow.

[AuthenTech]

Even though photos may look a tad too tonemapped sometimes, I bet in the blind photo comparison, average person will pick those vs flat realistic shots

[ChChelis]

Never waited so long for a review... seeing others doing like "where is Marques?!"
Perfect like always

[stuckonurbanstudio]

Having watched half a dozen tech reviewers, you are the best. Good content, objective reviews. There is no need for things like jumping onto the chair, jumping into the camera or jumping anywhere. Just go MKBHD style and you will never go wrong.

[TheSultanofChaoSS]

What an incredible review! Detailed research and clear to-the-point delivery and beautiful presentation makes this channel several levels above other tech reviewers!
