The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are some of my favorite Android phones. Unlike Google Pixel phones of the past, there's now a clear direction from Google, and sales numbers show that, but did Google course correct enough to fix the Pixel problem? Let's talk about it!

Coming from an iPhone, the only thing I really miss is the Apple ecosystem... but phone vs phone I'm loving the Pixel 6 Pro. Granted I have not experienced any of the issues that's popped up on social media; fingerprint reader has been accurate, haven't had any calling issues, battery life has been really good - not 2-day battery but I definitely end my day with roughly 30% after heavy use. It feels sneaky good compared to my old iPhone 12 Pro. I would definitely recommend it based on my experience.

The Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro has AMAZING battery life which surprises me when I see other reviews that say otherwise. I am an average user and could easily last 2 days on single charge. Haven said that, I have just switched from Pixel 6 Pro to the Samsung S22 Ultra! I still love the Pixel for it's premium feel & finish, excellent battery life. There were however, a few issues I just couldn't forgive. The MAIN one was the inability to cast my screen to Miracast or any other device unless it has Google Chrome dongle. In this day and age, pretty much every phone out there allows you to cast your phone screen except Google! The lack of Face ID for unlocking and temperamental finger login frustrates a little although that was more of a Pixel 6 than the 6 pro. I had both. In all, my inability to cast was the major downfall for me switching to Samsung even though I still love the Pixel and would have kept it if it was just the finger sensor and lack of Face ID issue. PS: My Samsung S22 Ultra lasts me just about 20 hrs (on standard res), vs Pixel of 40+hrs. Disappointing battery life with the Ultra but it ticks all the other boxes so I have to live with it I guess.

I feel like more than anything. The pixel 6 is what the pixel 1 and 2 were. Camera and software focused flagships with a unique aesthetic style.

The problem with Pixels is that there's a QC issue with every single generation. Just switched back to Samsung from a Pixel 6 Pro because of all the bugs and the inferior modem in the phone. I feel like a beta tester when I have a Pixel rather than having a premium device. Had the same feeling years ago with the Pixel 2 XL after the bugs and the display issues. I thought they would've figured it out by now, but they haven't.

I loved my Pixel 2. I have the Pixel 6 Pro now, no issues or bugs, the only complaint is I liked the fingerprint sensor on the back better. It was just more natural to pick up the phone and unlock it that way. Also I guess there were fingerprint sensor issues when I first got it but after an update that seems to have been fixed.

I've always thought of the pixel as a great camera attached to a very basic clean phone. That thumb print is buggy, but it would take that over the average amount of bloatware on the others.

I love my Pixel 6 Pro. The only thing I'd like to see Pixel 7 line adopt is an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Tensor works perfectly for me.

My biggest issue with Pixel is that, it's not available here. So, buying it without a warranty is a damn risky move.

I picked up the Pixel 6 and have had no issues with it. The design is pretty good and it's well made. The software issues are a problem for many people though. I think it could be an issue with the Tensor chip. Maybe they should have tested longer to put out a more optimized experience. Like I stated, mine works well and the cameras are pretty sweet. It won't replace my 13 Pro but it's pretty sweet.

Love my Pixel 6. Probably the best Android phone I've owned.

[Mad.Maxx.]

I returned my P6 Pro because of its curved screen. I just prefer flat screens on my phones and got the standard P6. It's been a great performer for me. My only complaint is the fingerprint scanner, though it has improved with the February update. I like stock Android, so I stick with Pixel phones. In fact, the only phones I buy are Pixel or the iPhone.

[johnnybyup]

The Pixel 6 Pro is a great phone. Only issue with the buggy finger print scanner, but I will 100% recommend this phone to everybody

[harryvlogs]

Yeah my experience has so far been great on my pixel 6 pro unlike unfortunately some others

[jonhansen]

I've had my 6 Pro just over 2 months now & so far it has been the best smart phone I've ever owned. I do feel badly for those who have had issues, but I can't think of a single issue using this phone so far. My usage is different from what appears to be the majority of phone owners these days. I don't do any gaming, I don't listen to music unless it's playing through Android Auto, I don't play games on my phone, and I spend very little phone time on social media. I typically get 3-4 days without charging and never run the charge below 10%. We have Verizon service & live out in the sticks with no 5G unless we travel. For comparison I used to get anywhere from 1-2 days per charge on my old Pixel 3XL.

I can sit here and say the Pixel 6 is one of if not my favorite phone I've ever owned. Used to love LG when they were making phones but I made it a mission to let the G8 be my final LG phone then I switched to a pixel 4a 5g then I got my 6 and I have been missing out. Good battery, amazing cameras, good software. There's bugs but I think that's more on android 12 itself being bad in general.

Great video! It's pretty cool that I'm typing this comment on the Pixel 3 XL that I bought from Jon on Swappa a while back.

[RetroBerner]

I'd be perfectly content if they just kept giving me updates for my Pixel 3.

[mikebroom]

Lack of face unlock and a VERY subpar fingerprint reader is my biggest complaint. Camera is fantastic.

[RalphLl]

I have high hopes for the Pixel 7. It’s time Google!

[stuffwatchnowmaybe]

It's gotten to the stage now that why would you spend 1000+ on a phone when the pixel line is there, which will give you as good if not better photos and clean software.
