Google Pixel 6 unboxing and first impressions

Google's latest crop of flagship phones is here. The Pixel 6 range brings a new version of Android and Google's first custom processor, called Tensor. It's safe to say, the Pixel 6 is unlike any other phone.

Someone violated the embargo just for us. You are like phone Jesus.

Just ordered the 6. Will be interesting to see the reviews on Monday. Figured I would save 300 by going with the normal version. Just wish it wasn't a heavy phone. It's the same weights as my OnePlus 7 Pro.

I can't believe this is Google pixel looking amazing 🔥🔥

So happy I picked this over the "Pro"

Just ordered the Pixel 6 in sorta sea foam. £599 plus a free pair of Bose 700 noise cancelling headphones 🎧 worth £349. Absolute bargain IMO. The only thing I wish is the phone was slightly smaller and I wish they’d kept the different colour buttons to maybe match the colour of phone. Looking forward to receiving it on the 27th 📱👍

I always love basic version than pro version

Thanks Cam ! Looking forward to future indepths on the 6P.

Yes this phone definitely reminds me of the Lumia phones. Pre-ordered the 6!

What happens when someone violates a double embargo? 😂😂 thanks for being brave man!

Hi Cam, i would like to know if the pixel 6 will be readable outdoors specially in direct sunlight? And how does the camera zoom of Pixel 6 would be like as compared to Pixel 6 Pro? Hope you include it on your up coming reviews soon.😊

i saw the downloading of Genshin Impact at 5:20 and i have to ask, have you tested how well the game runs on this phone? i'm an active player (sadly) and it'd be really nice to know if the game runs smoothly and without lag!

Do the finger print work while the screen off
Or we must on it first??

[adithyansreeni]

embargo!!!...You are not supposed to show us the new UI.🤦‍♂️

[SJF]

Hi Cam, does this have a pre installed screen protector? Thanks!

[hiravparekh]

Already pre-ordered, was able to get pixel 6 for 470$+tax from target with red card 5% discount and 99$ off instead of the (oos) pixel buds

UPDATE: Got 10% extra off for target circle offer so 430+tax now

Interesting, wasn't the embargo limited to the homescreen and the physical device? Interesting to see video playing on it to see those colours!

Got the phone this past week. The screen has a green tint to it on brightness settings below 25% on dark gray backgrounds. Contacted Google for a replacement and they said this is normal for the oled screens they use and to keep the brightness higher and don't use the phone in dark theme...

[darknight]

Great review. Couple of questions. How do you charge the phone? I didnt se any charger in the box

[tan]

Whats the difference with the pro one?

[NizarSenussi]

why are you overly concerned about the paper based wrapping?
