Google - Pixel 6 Pro 128GB - Sorta Sunny (Verizon)

This is the best hardware Google has made! Likewise, it is still very much so a Google device. That means your phone will iteratively get better. While that is a good thing it can mean that you will have some pain points if you buy this phone in the first few months after its release. Overall, it is a very smooth, premium Android device that is priced below other comparable phones. If you are someone that is patient enough to let Google work out the issues (listed in the Cons section below) then you are getting one of the best phones to be released this year. Pros: - Great hardware design - Gorgeous screen - Super smooth and fast UI - Amazing rear cameras - No duplicate apps (i.e. 2 web browsers) - More custom settings available that previously could only be accessed from - Much cleaner and uniform looking widgets - The call screening feature is very convenient, and sometimes entertaining. Cons: - Front facing camera was extremely grainy in lowlight settings and created pictures that looked cartoonish at best and downright awful at the worst. - The phone would get very hot when using 5G. One time led to me needing to restart it to cool it down. Another time the camera app displayed a message that the flash was disabled because the phone was too hot. - Random software errors in a few different apps would freeze the phone until it restarted itself. (No, it would not let me hard reset it) - UI needs some polish (i.e. PiP works when swiping from the app playing the video or Maps but not if you side swipe from the app playing the video to another app without going home) - Videos can come out jittery sometimes - Fingerprint scanner was often times frustratingly slow - So so battery life

I'll lead off by saying that this phone exceled at everything except being a phone. Exceptional camera, battery life was good, responsive, good screen, etc. While on wifi, this phone was great. While on mobile network, this phone couldn't hold service. I tried 5G, forcing 4G. Nothing helped. Phone showed having at least half full bars in the service indicator but when I tried to open apps, they wouldn't open. Tested over a variety of apps. While connected to mobile data I would run a speed test and speeds would fluctuate between what would be expected, then down to <5 mbps. Updates did nothing to help. This was a hardware issue. Traded in for a P7P after dealing with this awful phone for one week. Good thing I managed to snag it for $400 for the day or two that Best Buy put it on sale.

I've been a Pixel fan since day one. I owned all the phones except for the Pixel 5 series. I skipped that one because I felt it was a downgrade compared to my pixel 4. Which brings me to today and my Pixel 6 Pro. I absolutely love this phone. Prior to my purchase I was worried that the Pixel 6 Pro was too big, or the camera bump would stick out too much and whether I would miss being able to squeeze the phone to summon the google assistant. After using this phone for a few days all those worries went away and it was clear that this was the upgrade I was waiting for. Everything about this phone is awesome. The display is gorgeous. The processor is super-fast. The cameras are excellent. Bluetooth connects flawlessly, and the size and weight are perfect. It is slightly larger than my pixel 4 and it feels like it weighs about the same weight. Instead of squeezing the phone to summon my assistant now I just have to long press the power button. As for the camera bump, it pretty much disappeared when I put the phone in a case. Then there is my favorite feature of the phone, the battery. All I can say is wow! It easily gets me a full day of use. Almost double of what I got with my pixel 4. So, If you are like me and are still hanging on to your pixel 4, you can rest easy. The Pixel 6 Pro is the upgrade you've been waiting for. I highly recommend buying it.

The phone itself is pretty good. The camera is exceptional. If you're not used to large screen phones it can take some time to adjust. Screen protector and case is a must as it's easy to drop due to its size.

So far this phone is super dope. I had the original pixel xl then the small size pixel 3 and hadn't upgraded since then. I was worried about the size but I preordered several cases off the zon and realized compared to the pixel xl it wasn't that much bigger so I was like let's go. The phone is awesome and whenever I look at my small pixel 3 I wonder how I took pictures or played games on such a small cellular device. My only complaint is the fingerprint scanner is slower than the one on the 3 but I have noticed it getting faster the more I use it as several other reviews have noted. I'm a pretty heavy user and the battery is awesome. It takes forever to run down and it's so big that with my old charger I could literally never get it fully charged. But with my 30w charger it charges real fast all the way to 100. Cases are still sparse but I'm using a cheap case until my real one comes and I got some sticky tape to put on the back of it so I don't drop it. I like the grippy cases. I get 5g everywhere I go and it hooks up to the radio in my car good using the bluetooth connection. I took some pics of the sunrise yesterday morning and they were supurb. The magical eraser is really cool it will erase anything you want. Sometimes it just leaves a big blob of a single color but whatever you wanted gone is gone.

Was so excited to try my first ever pixel phone. I figured android is from google, so let’s get a google phone. Such a let down. Battery life was terrible, fingerprint reader was unreliable, and the phone got hot during normal use. Only nice features were the design and camera. Will never buy another pixel. It was so bad that I swapped to IPhone.

Upgraded from Pixel 2, which I loved but was slowing down. Been waiting for this release for some time because I wasn’t thrilled with the earlier models. I’m excited to use the camera upgrades, but haven’t had a chance yet. My biggest disappointment is loss of the rear fingerprint reader even though I knew it was happening. It was so effortless to use on the rear, which is why I’ve only given it 4 stars instead of 5. Having the reader on the front is much more clunky. I hope they consider returning to it in a future model.

I miss the old Nexus days but this phone is a decent replacement overall. The focus is mainly on the camera, but that's just a reflection of the needs for today. Phone is quick, responsive, audio quality is great. Screen is top notch. The curved sides and size can't take a little to get used to but overall great phone.
