Crazy how we consider $600 for a phone inexpensive these days

Writing this from a Pixel 6 - it's been amazing so far, saving £35 per month compared to same contract on iPhone 13 Pro Max and haven't missed it at all since I returned it (I could almost buy 2 pixels for the price of a 13 Pro Max in the UK)

I'm an Apple user these days but I picked up the Pixel 6 because it interested me. I've never had a Pixel before having used Sammy in my Android days. This is a really sweet phone! The quality of the build for the price is fantastic. It's smooth and quite good. The cameras are nice as well. I think people expect too much these days. For this price, these cameras are pretty nice and the OS works much better since the January update. I didn't experience any glitches before it, other than the fingerprint sensor not being that great and the occasional app freeze. Both have improved since the update. If I were to switch back to Android, this is the phone I'd use.

I have that same phone that you are using in the review. It is quite the game changer for me. Using it for work, photography, and filming guitar. With all the update issues it has had for some people, I was never really affected. Thanks for all of your great videos!

what your take on the mobile network standby draining the battery? Is it gonna be fixed in the next update? My system usage with it is between 35-50% over 24hrs, and it's been a bit of a problem. Not even using 5g, and turning off data whilst i'm on wifi.

I've owned a lot of phones. My favorite used to be the Nexus 6P. That is, until I got my Pixel 6. The price is incredible for what you get, the phone while bigger than any other phone I've ever used I've gotten used to, i flatly hate curved screens so this flat screen is perfect, performance is fantastic, and the battery life does very well. Seriously have not been this happy with a phone in years.

After using a s9 since it launched moving to the pixel 6 pro it amazes me how much you can zoom in after taking a photo and still keeping excellent detail . That's a new experience for me

I love my pixel 6. Soooo helpful and intelligent. Hold for me, Call screen, so many features and the colours and screen are lovely. 😎👌. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the great review! What's the status on the speaker compared to Galaxy S21? Or Pixel 4a, or 5?

I returned my P6 Pro after a week because of its curved screen. I just couldn't get used to it. The P6, on the other hand, is a delight to use. The January update seems to have improved the fingerprint scanner performance, which was disappointing at first. I still prefer the scanner on the back, like my 3XL. For now, however, I'm perfectly content with my P6. Nice review, mate!!

I’d love to get the pixel but I mainly need video and the jittery video recording on it is a problem. There’s always a weird flicker going on in vids I’ve seen. It’s a shame because the photos looks so great. Saving for a 13 pro

does Pixel 6 have 4G Plus Carrier Aggregation? I am asking coz I don't have 5G available in my location.

What if I want a different clock? I can't change the clock?

I have a iPhone 13 pro max right now and I’m looking into replacing my 2nd phone a Samsung s10e and I’m thinking of testing this phone out. I never had a google phone before but have used my friends a few years ago and I wanna see if it will impress me.

I wish they've kept the symmetry on this device as the Pixel 5, the design is great once you look at it from the back but front, very hard to get even used too.

Great review of the Pixel 6, I got the Pixel 6 pro a week ago and have no issues with the phone at all, new subscriber here sir.

I've had my Pixel 6 pro for about 10 days now and I love it! The voice to text is absolutely amazing! I've had no issues so far...

Great video as always I still use pixel 4a 😀 but would love to buy pixel 6 😀 stay safe and respect to you.

I have the note 10 plus exynos variant and im considering going with the GP6 (non pro). Is it worth the change from the note 10 plus? (Not using the stylus as much)

What's that wallpaper? Thanks

Which do you think is better Pixel 6 or Samsung 22?

I spent quite some time deciding between the Pixel 6, 6 Pro, the Realme GT 2 Pro and a Samsung. I chose the Pixel 6 since the curved glass on the Pro is a no-go for me. The Samsung was too expensive, since the only one with a camera that can compete with the Pixel is the S22 Ultra, and that is twice the price of the 6. The Realme was really tempting because it has a nice design and top-level specs, but the camera and uncertain Software Support made me hesitate to buy one. Also...I have grown to love the extra Software Features the Pixel offers, like the background music identification...

How is the vibration motor in the pixel 6? I wear relaxed fit jeans most of the time. will i be able to feel it vibrate in my pocket? Cause im seriously sick of android after android vibrating so weak that i can almost never feel it go off.

Are you able to ul your own pic for wallpaper/lock screen?

I own this for a week now. All bugs are gone with the update and it's silky smooth even I always switch off 90Hz. Android 12 itself is buttery smooth and you feel no difference switching to 60hz (to save battery). At first I doubted their true skin color detection to be real but it is. I checked it side by side with iphone 13 pro max and found Pixel 6 really has a much better reproduction of skin color and handling highlights in the photos. I also compared it with Oneplus 10 pro (trial 30 days offer) where the camera overexposed lights when using front camera portrait mode...Pixel is indeed lovely in every aspects...

How would you compare pixel 6 to s22 ultra if money isn't a concern? Cameras, battery etc.

I have had the Palm Pre, Blackberry 10, Samsung and all Pixel devices including the most recent Pixel 6. I literally switched to the iPhone 13 recently for two reasons. Connectivity and Bluetooth connection. I've always had some type of carrier disconnection with Pixel and put up with it but recent the 6 was too much. Bluetooth was the same here and there disconnect especially with AA. I took a chance into the Apple ecosystem and I have to be brutally honest that the connection situation is way better than Android for me. I love the Google ecosystem and have Google devices at home but man Car-play plays great in my car and connects great with my Sync system (Ford/Lincoln). Sync would drop connection with Android and recently the carrier connection issues with T-Mobile. I'm keeping my iPhone for this alone though I have a Pixel 4a as a back up just in case.

I really wanted the pro and thought I wouldn't want the regular but so far I'm loving it

I'm watching this on my Pixel 6 Pro, I've had the phone since December and I haven't had any problems with the phone.Its the best phone I've ever owned.#TeamPixel

My pixel 4 is struggling after thblast is update. Particularly image search. Odd.

Can someone tell me how many megapixels are better than the FHD? I have one GHD and one GHD phones but I have tried every ways to tell the difference but I don't. Are you guys sure that this whole GHD screen is not a scam to charge more money on devices? My only reason for not buying the pixels is the lack of bright screen.

Been a OnePlus user for many years, mainly due to the OS, but as they move away from current OS, Pixel seams like the only option, will be hard to miss the fast charging though... Prices are still quite high In Scandinavia, approx $950 for the 6 & $1.500 for the pro

Loved my Pixel 3a XL, but my 6 Pro not so much with it's buggy connectivity issue. 4 months of hitting airplane mode to trick it back into getting on network. The recent update looks promising, but I'm holding my breath.

What's a good phone in 2022 that has a 6000 mAmp battery, Flat screen display and a SD card?. If someone could tell me?

Which one is better iPhone 12 or pixel 6

Switching between a Pixel 6 and a Galaxy Note 20 ultra for the last month or so. Really difficult to pick one over the other. I love them both

What is the icon pack you are using? I mean the one with black and green colour on Gmail, camera ,messages.Also the Google search bar it's very beautiful does anyone know what is the name of icon pack? Thanks in advance

Why nobody mentions the gigantic size of quick panels buttons. The size is really annoying

Idk about that title when I have heard that the Pixel 6 has a lot of glitches and stuff happening... Not sure if you will bring that up in the video or not.

Agree with you on cameras. They are premium I'm guess due to using new Samsung sensor they upgraded too

Thank you so much for this review! Honestly I have never had a Pixel Phone (I have & am an Android User & I Don't like Samsung Galaxy Phones,) I have been using & I have liked LG Phones, but since they are getting out of the phone making business, I have been looking for something that is decent-to-good-quality without utterly breaking the bank & although we are now in Mid-July 2022 so we are only a few months away from the Pixel 7, I am waiting for that one & will be ordering it as soon as it's available. Your review makes me feel better about my upcomming switch/purchase.

I'm torn between the 6 (non-pro) and an Iphone (11 or 12). Sound via headphones is a priority as is battery and memory size. Not a gamer. Any thoughts?

I switched from a cheap Chinese phone (nice in that I could carry two batteries) to a Pixel 3 (great camera and real Android) then last autumn to a Pixel 6. I jumped into that early because in the UK you got a free pair of Bose SC 700 headphones thrown in if you pre-ordered it. It was clearly an excellent phone from the start but it had issues which for some reason you could forgive. Google has fixed most of the software problems by now and partly fixed hardware ones in software. The fingerprint reader is still a bit problematic until you work out which part of your thumb to use. I also find the orientation detector takes time to settle down which makes using Star Walk slower. It's still a great phone which I really enjoy using.

I'm really loving that t-shirt, where'd you get it?

Curious what're your thoughts on the pixel 6s now that software has become buggy?

Really the only bugs that I've seen are general inconsistencies with the UI of the device. Occasionally things like the notification shade being transparent, or the keyboard appearing crunched. Just little things that you wouldn't think you would see with the device running stock Android.

I'm getting this phone soon. But I'm still contemplating whether I should get the Pro model, I just want the camera versatility and that quad-HD display

Am I the only one that can hear the speaker issues? I received this phone the other day and when I talk to people on it I can hear a slight buzzing noise to their words, especially words that have the letter S in them. Often I will hear something that sounds like sleet hitting a window when there is no talking. Any ideas on this? I hate to have to send it back.

I’m strictly an iPhone only person, but if I had to use an android, I’d definitely get the Google Pixel!

Well I finally pulled the trigger. Purchased it today. I'll get it on Tuesday.

I was going to buy this phone until I tested it at a Verizon store and it seemed to get very hot. The Fingerprint sensor was a concern for me. They should have left it on the back.

Do your phone get warm cause my pro gets warm I'm going to return it cause of that

If the 6 and the Pro were both $599 would you still choose the 6?

Are you going to review the Pixel 6a?

Have they added face unlock yet? If not... When? Until then... 😥

I bought mine a couple of days ago to replace my 2 year old Pixel 3a. The 3a was fine but the RAM was too low and apps auto-closed which was annoying. The Pixel 6 solves this. Everything about the 6 is better apart from the fingerprint reader. I knew it was going to be bad and it is. It's slow and doesn't seem to recognise my thumb no matter what I do. I have increased the sensitivity in the display settings which helped somewhat. The rear mounted reader was a winner on previous models or even a power button reader as on a lot of Xiaomi's. Still, I got it at a knock down price and am very happy. Slippy as hell though - get a case!

I have the Pixel 6 pro and its totally awesome. The only downside to me is the curved screen. The curved edge is a bit harder to get touch to work. Other than that the Pixel 6 pro is awesome. Voice to text works amazingly well even in airplane mode. The camera is right up there with the iphone 13 pro too.

Still rocking the 3A

I've been thinking of changing from an iPhone to an Google Pixel 6 but I've been reading that it has some bugs issues, so I want to hear from you guys experiences, thank you

Durability is what matters most to me. I still have the Pixel 1. Yes the first Google pixel, has never been damaged or fixed in any way. My real question is the quality of battery. Does it fail and get weak rapidly?

does it bring unlimited google photos service?

I enjoy trying this phone and every day I love it more 😍

My Pixel 3XL has 4gb of ram and it runs smooth, the software is done well. Only thing is the amount of apps that can run in the background (actively), such as FB refreshing when you leave the app and come back.

I would buy it but google still haven't fixed the fingerprint scanner

just discovered this channel very good analysis , nice video very friendly

So is it okay to swap my 11 pro max to google pixel 6/pro or not?

i hope google makes the battery consistant and make the fingerprint sensor better for pixel 7. and they keep the same price.

A lot of people are complaining about a lot of bugs in the OS, even after the January update (despite the fact that man bigger bugs are gone). Have you experienced any? Would you still recommend it despite all the software hiccups? Note that they didn't release some monthly updates only for the pixel 6 devices for a while

Love my Pixel 6 it's the best device for me 👍🏾

Have had Apple and mostly Samsung in the past, using a Tecno as a cheap 2nd and the Samsung A53 as the main, I would like to get a Pixel 6 but Google does not sell in Uganda.

Dude...I just went from Spectrum to T mobil.. & got 2 of these phones for 99 bucks each.. Glad i watched you presentation.. now i have the warm fuzzies about the phones.. P.S. You have a beautiful family and are a great Dad.. Thanks again and God Bless you & your Fam!!

Wow great video you'll always produce such great content

I am thinking of getting the Pixel 6 now, is modem really that problematic as they say?

i switched from the pixel 3 to the 13mini ..i was going for the 6, but it just to big compare with the ease of use of the 13mini ....I miss the p3 and google features with all my heart :c ...if google makes pixel with sub 6" screen i'll buy it no matter what.

I have the s21 had nothing but problems always alerts moisture or debris in charge port when its clear and also I can't believe how easily the screen scratches its all over my old s9 was better I'm think pixel 6 now .

Watching this on my Google pixel 6 pro and I'm really happy with the Google phone this year.

I bought my wife one for Christmas this past year, I am totally the hero! She absolutely love love loves this phone and the best part, like you said, the $600 price! Thanks Nick

I've got the 6 Pro and no issues whatsoever since launch, love it.

Excellent review sir. Many thanks.

The "regular" sized Pixel should have never exceeded 5.8 inches. The Pixel 5 had the best size ever, the Pixel 7 better be truly compact again...

I bought the 6 pro at first. Returned it for the regular six. Never looked back.

how come the US price is $600 and the UK price is £600, even though £600=$800

Why did Pixel 6 remove the wide-angle front camera?? (Pixel 3 had it, and it was very useful)

My first complaint is the battery DRAINS so bad. I got it to replace a 3aXL that was starting to do the massive battery drain and I feel like this pro is on the same drain program.

I see you love Pixel phones:) Can you please talk about not working with VoLTE , Vowifi and 5G in half of EU? It's definitely something that can improve product and people experience

I'll either go for the moto edge+ 2022 or wait for the next pixel.

I wish this was true I had it had way to many issues with it way to expensive for the connectivity issues with all networks I tried att and Verizon and t-mobile had to return it

This was a great accurate review. I have the pro cuz I'm old and blind. My only complaint is the selfie camera. I rarely do selfies but it should work for the situations I do need them to as I need it for work. The charging for me has improved with update but if you read further, it's the AI working for you. The back video was a bit grainy in certain lighting situations but also improved. I wish there was a HDR turn off for photos because SOMETIMES it's a bit much. Otherwise I love this phone. I just hate Google Photos organization lol.

I've been with Samsung since the S3, but I think I need something different after my EXTREME disappoinment with the S21

So sad that P6 is only 1080p.. Still using 4XL and love it's 1440p flat screen

I agree and I miss my 4a 5g I traded for a Samsung S21. However, maybe I'll get a 6 or 6a sometime. You did a thorough review that I enjoyed.

I have a pixel 6 and it's just constant bugs. Connectivity issues. System ui crashes. KZfaq locks up the phone so I have to reboot. The device is mediocre at best and each update does very little to help it. Battery life is getting worse too

I love Pixels, there's only one single thing keeping me from using them They're too wide. While other phones are getting slimmer I've noticed the form factor is much more comfortable ergonomically. I've gone all in and currently use a Sony Xperia I MK II Now everytime I switch to my Pixel 6 it's a beautiful software experience but the physical phone itself is just too chunky for me to get past

I do like Pixel phones and they have really good cameras for sure but I'm I'm the thick with Samsung and their Ecosystem. I prefer Samsung Galaxy S Series Flagships, Galaxy Buds Pro and Samsungs Assistant Bixby to Siri or Google's Assistant. I'm actually still rocking the S10+ and it's still amazing nearly 3 years later and still supports SDXC cards for expanded storage up to 1TB for much less than manufacturers charge to pre-order the same internal storage. I can get 512GB SDXC (A2, V30, U3, II) for under $70 new while phone manufacturers charge over $100 to $200 for the highest option which is usually 512GB.

I've had the Pixel 6 Pro since December and it's been one of the best phones I've ever had

Why oh why didn't they make the 6 pro flat 😞

I've only had this phone for about 24 hrs and I've noticed a heating issue. My pixel 6 has gotten hot to the touch twice, the first time was when I copied my data over. it was extremely warm in one concentrated area. the second time I had left TikTok up on accident for about 20 mins. The video was paused, and even though it wasn't actively playing anything the entire phone was hot. it gets really warm even doing google searches. I looked it up and this seems like a common issue even for the pro. Just an fyi. Everything else about it is great. Very fast, ergonomic and lots of storage. The cameras are good too Edit: not many issues after first week or so :)

I really like my Pixel 6 even with some of the problems, I normally buy Xiaomi phones every 2yrs between £200 -£250, I got sick and tired of doing that , I'm not bothered about the camera I know you KZfaqrs always go on about the camera but for me getting regular updates is more important.

I was thinking which one to buy. The Pro was to expensive for me and it's not worth that almost 300€ price difference(here in Germany) to the regular 6 for the minor differences in terms of display and camera. Would it has been less of a price difference between these two, I propably would have gone for the Pro. I've chosen the Normal 6 and what I have also to mention is that I'm coming from a 8T and sometimes I'm still missing it, especially in terms of charging speed and it had the better display quality and 120Hz. What I can say for now is that I'm not really that satisfied with my Pixel 6, I'm facing some software issues since its launch and they can't fix it. Beside that it's a great device and it gives you that buttery smooth stock Android Pixel experience. Let's see if they can fix it with future updates. If they can't fix it, I will go back to OnePlus.

Honestly if this was 5 years ago the spec sheet on a phone would bother me, I've just got the 6 this week, I like how simple it is, I like how it doesn't quite look like a Samsung or a iphone, I like how it feels like a quality product for £599, my only issues is it feels super slippy to hold, I definitely recommend a case on this device, but you can't buy an all round better phone for it's price point
