I've never had a battery drain, or overheating problem. My Pixel 6 Pro always last all day long, and I use it normally. No real bugs outside of the random signal drop, but even that's rare. So I'm loving mine
I have no idea what they did with the june update, but it completely fixed my P6 Pro. Before that it was probably the worst smartphone experience i ever had, tons of bugs, camera kept crashing, battery lost 10-15% over night etc. Ever since the june update it's flawless, no bugs or slowdowns, battery finally only loses 1-2% over night, camera works flawlessly and even during fast charging it doesn't even get warm anymore and the fingerpint sensor isn't instant, usually takes a second, but it never needs multiple tries.
Overheating and fast battery problems but overall Its a very good phone and I never regretted buying it. Even iPhone users want me to shoot photos on my phone instead of iPhones 😂

One of things that worked for me with the phone being hot issue, was turning off the adaptive battery and adaptive networking features in the settings. Phone is now cool as a cucumber and also i haven't (so far) seen a decrease in battery life and network signals! (I have the p6p by the way)

Agree, as an iPhone user also I notice the slow finger print reader before the phone unlocks, but the battery life and straight out bugs absolutely stinks. I bought it for the camera, but that’s quite inconsistent for me.
Not encountered many issues with the P6 so far (2 months). Will be sticking with for the foreseeable as I would expect to see the improvements with each update (plus can't afford to keep changing my phone!). Replaced an S9, so this is a big improvement (enjoy the stock android experience).
@@Anthony5ist No regrets so far. The main improvement over the S9 would be performance (my S9 was starting to struggle with multi-tasking, so the increase from 3GB to 8GB of ram is very noticeable). Although I didn't have any issues with the S9 software (it was my second Sammy), I do prefer the P6 'pure' Android experience, less bloated and some useful features (call screening, voice typing is fast/accurate, not to mention the infamous Pixel camera smarts). I miss the rear mounted fingerprint reader on the S9 though, the in screen reader in the P6 is definitely slower and I prefer the placement on the rear - your finger automatically finds the indent when you pick the S9 up! With the P7 launch just around the corner, the P6 is already starting to drop in price, so would be a good time to upgrade. Btw, I'm using the P6, not P6 Pro (the P6 doesn't appear to have as many reported bugs as the Pro and the size was closer to the S9).
I have had the standard Pixel 6 for 4 months and unfortunately I've moved to an S22+. I wanted to love it so much and did in parts. But man is the Pixel firmware just buggy with almost every app. Don't get me started with its 4G/5G issues which they still haven't fixed. Since getting my S22+ I've had zero bugs. In a nutshell, the camera works a dream, it all looks amazing. But the small hiccups along the way just wound me up so much.
@@stevem4829 Quite liking it. I used to own an S9+ and it's a shame they skimped on the OLED screen and memory card slot. But yeah glad to be back with a Galaxy Plus again
I love my Pixel 6 pro. Have it since day one and never had any issues with bugs or the fingerprint sensor. But it can get quite hot even when you just browse the web. And the camera bar feels a bit cheap and plasticky and it gets very very dirty.

I don't know why they have the camera's sticking out so much, as well as why they removed the fingerprint scanned at the back of the phone, which works great on older models.
I'm completely happy with my 6 pro, I must be one of the lucky ones who's fingerprint scanner works each and every time, even with a screen protector on. Yes it does seem to overheat even when not doing intensive tasks but it doesn't affect it functioning properly. Photo's are awesome even in low light or at least to my aging peepers.
Camera (3/5): Shooting photos and videos with this phone main camera is amazing, even in low light. It would always impress me, the stabilization is also good. The downside is the ultra wide camera. Shooting videos in low light with the ultra wide camera results in a washed out video. The quality is so bad that it is embarrassing to call this a "Pro" version. My 3 years old OP8 (OnePlus 8) shoots a way better ultra wide video in low light, and the camera is the OP's weakest point... The front camera photos are underwhelming. The telephoto is great, however, I only got to test it in normal lighting. Battery (1/5): This is a 5000 mAh battery device, it should last you the whole day without any trouble. Left home with 72% charge on my OP8 and 78% on the Pixel. I used Google Maps on my OP8 for 1h34m, 30 minutes of it is probably searching for places, the rest was for navigating around the cities. On the other hand, I used the Pixel for taking a few photos and 2 short videos, not more than 10 minutes of usage. Used it for chatting for around 45 minutes. This was a 8 hour trip. The OP8 went down from 72 to 39, the pixel went down frok 78 to 32. 33% with 1h34m Maps vs 46% with 45 min of chatting and a few shots and 2 videos. I tried Anker's 30W charger, and it charged around 13% in 10 minutes - definitely not 30W, my OP8 does 20% in 9 minutes. The phone's battery did well on Wi-Fi though, so the problem might be with it cellular receiver. Software (2/5): Google's phones are known for their "software". I am not impressed by it, not even a little bit. The camera app would crash so frequently that it got on my nerves. I bought this phone to take photos, and it has built its image on simply doing that, but they can't program an app that functions properly. Google assistant does not work when the phone is locked. I enabled the option in the settings for the assistant to give personal data when locked, but it didn't work. The routines in the Google Assistant didn't work either. The rest of the commands worked fine. Performance (3/5): The phone is fast, I didn't challenge it much except with compressing some videos. It is fast, and weirdly enough, it compresses videos to smaller sizes than on my OP8. It does heat up a little while compressing but that seemed normal to me. However, I noticed that it heats up a lot more with normal use (taking a short video, sharing it, chatting a little bit, TH-cam) than my OP8. Build (4/5): The phones looks amazing to me (highly subjective) and feels premium. However, the display seems hollow to me when I tap on it with my finger nails, comparing it to a Samsung A31, Note 5 and the OP8. I bought the white color - Google (and pretty much all companies) feels like they need to call it some weird name cloudy starlight or whatever - and it looked quite good. I hated the shiny aluminum frame, it looked like the shiny plastic frames you find on the A series from Samsung. The speakers are not good at all, but I am used to the OP8, which has one of the best speakers out there. I can't exactly describe how it sounds, but it sounds like when you turn on the "surrounding" setting for your headphones. Fingerprint reader (3/5): It is fast enough when it actually tries to read your fingerprint. What does that mean? There were many cases where I lift the phone, it lights up and shows the fingerprint reader, I place my finger there and nothing happens. I lift my finger and retry, and it reads it perfectly, never missing. I guess the phone would wait for the animation to finish playing before attempting to read my fingerprint.
Had a few niggles but i love mine. Excellent camera and UI etc. Love the editing options. Still prefer my Huawei P30 PRO though even now and if it wasn't for the ban I'd have had the P50 pro. 👍
@@TheNuranga123 It has a lot of positives. I'm happy overall. The camera is key for me and it's very good but zoom could be better and the fact it's Googles own phone for updates etc is a plus.
Had it, return it back after 1 week. Fingerprint issues, overheating are the least of it's problem. Much happier with a more polished and trouble free s22 ultra.
I am a day 1 adopter and the phone getting hot is an understatement. During gaming sessions it can get to unbearable levels. The front sensor I've had some issues with and I still have no idea why they behind the rear finger sensor of the pixel 3 that was so perfect. The performance is there though, everything looks and feels great. I think across the board I enjoyed my pixel 3 more than my pixel 6. But if you are needing a strong and modern flagship phone its certainly stronger and I'll be using it for the forseeable future.
My fingerprint sensor on Pixel 6 Pro started to work recently! Last update I gave it another shot, registered two of my fingers again ... and nothing worked, same old same old ... day later, no restart, no change in settings it started mysteriously working, and it still works almost flawlessly. I have no clue why I was blessed with working FPS after it pretty much ignored me for half of the year. Might be down to some mysterious hidden update ... like USB DAC or VoLTE in pretty much every country :) Still PFS on my OG Pixel and Pixel 5 works much better.
In terms of photos: they look very good in general. But when you look closer you will see ghosting from artificial background blurring. The same comes with lighting up dark areas and details. But astrophotography is very nice on this one. And Pixel 6 Pro is a nice point and shoot mobile camera.
I had the p6 standard for a little bit and the major complaints I had were; Not bright enough No Dolby Atmos Shite finger print reader, better be ultrasonic or improved a lot And maybe faster charge speeds would be nice even just 50w, but this is just a minor issue
Hi Uncle Chris, I bought the Google 6 Pro on launch and found it an amazing experience. Never had a finger print issue and found myself being a bit of a google finger print defender. Unfortunately I have noticed a couple of odd things over time. The finger print reader will work well for a span of time before for no apparent reason it begins to misbehave and I have to use my blasted pin. Then it goes back to normal and all is right with the world. The other strange thing I have noticed is that if you unlock your phone it is a little on the sluggish side. However if I use my finger print for an app such as my banking app or google pay it is much more responsive and even a touch quicker. Still over all I still love this phone and I still feel it gets far more criticism than a Samsung or most other phone brands would get if they had the same issues.
Hey listening to the new Coheed album. 👍 I'll say my experience with the pixel 6 pro has gotten consistently worse since original purchase. Bugs have gotten more and more annoying with app crashes or UI crashing when switching between apps. If I'm outside in shade or no using my phone any longer than a few moments I am guaranteed to get the heat notification. And cell connectivity is seemingly getting worse too which is odd. Loved my pixel 2 xl and pixel 4 xl, their limitations were the battery. Pixel 6 pro has great battery though so there's that. 🤷♂️
I love the pixel 6 pro, I'm not going to sit there and say that there haven't been people with major issues. However, I will say that with the most recent June update most of my complaints with the device have been solved. It seems like there have been a lot of people complaining about signal with the device, in my experience I do agree it isn't as good as some devices that I have used but it is far from the worst of any device either.
I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your thorough and insightful review of the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Your dedication to providing in-depth information after using the device for six months truly sets your content apart.

Other than that great job🙂🤙🏼 Nevertheless, I want to emphasize my gratitude for your hard work and dedication to delivering valuable tech insights. Your reviews have been instrumental in helping me make informed decisions, and I look forward to more of your content in the future.
Great video. Xiaomi band 7...... 1 month review most probably. Coz I've been looking at that thing on your wrist for some time now but no video out yet 😐.
Just got my pixel 6 pro last weekend, switched from being on iPhone since 2014 last android I had was the htc one m8 , gotta say it's good to be back on Android and I'm loving the pixel 6 pro
I got the pixel 6 pro when it launched and with everything you have said in the re review I can confirm, the one thing I really don't like about it is when you are on a call and go to a different app on just on the phone. You get a Google phone pop out head thing and every time I have turned it off it reappears. I would love it if Google went back to how it was when this phone launched
As someone who loves android and has had nexus phones in the past, I just couldn’t bring myself to get the pixel. £800+ with a poor fingerprint reader, bugs and abysmal battery life. Went for the 13 pro max instead and have no regrets.
Since launch I've still never run into any finger print reader issues on my 6pro. Everything else is true. Random bugs. Phone gets warm but never any performance issues. Great phone overall.
@TechSpurt what smart band are you wearing? I'm upgrading next year from a S21 Plus 5G as my partner is taking it over due to his A70 being old. Would you recommend the Pixel 6 next year? 🤔
Definitely experienced that slippery backing, before I got mine in a case it used to slide like a tiny glacier down the armrest of my couch and even down my leg if I was wearing something like business trousers! Ironically, got it in a case and just a few days later it slipped out of my hands, fell and totalled the screen - repair cost is AUD$530 which is more than half the cost of the Aussie launch pricing, that's through Google's official repair channel so the IP68 rating is guaranteed after the repair (allegedly). Interestingly the fingerprint sensor was excellent for me, huge step up over my bafflingly bad S20FE 5G that despite registering 4 digits only responses to left index finger, even after software updates. Pixel 6 Pro was fine on all four, just can't pick these things! Loved the cameras though, huge step up from S20FE 5G and my Wife's S21+ Cheers for the 6 month review mate, great video concept even for those of us who bought at launch, even for a sanity check on things that we're experiencing. Keep up the killer work mate!
Love it, thank you for the recent review mine is underway switching from a lenovo legion duel 2 pro since lenovo never updated the software and abandoned the phone so went for something for the longrun of software
I actually am upgrading from the pixel 6 to the pro, I had serious issues for basically every update until June and it's quite nice now. The problem for me is I came from 120hz so 90hz feels a little choppy and I really do miss the telephoto. The rest is amazing tho I have to admit.
As funny and counter-intuitive it is, you need to "moisture" the finger to make sure is not dry if the fingerprint is not working and you will be amazed how well it works. The fingerprint I mean, especially the thumb...optical and sonic btw.
I only really had some issues with the fingerprint scanner ( better than previous phones) but now it's better than ever. The only really annoying bug is I now cannot use the Google assistant to make phone calls from the lockscreen without unlocking the phone
Both have their ok points and less good points , for me the curved edge screen is an instant fail , had three of the bastards , vowed to never have another , but you do get free bugs on the pixel :) , as for the galaxy , now the s models except the ultra have 1080 screens ( but at least they are flat ) , but no SD , no headphone jack , no accessories .....just like the crappy pixel , all these current and recent phones suck compared to older full featured models . Android in general imo has become a major disappointment in recent years .
What Pixel has made aware is the google software team is beyond incompetent. Almost a whole year later and I still have customers trying to return the device after only 5 days of use because the flash is flashing in their eyes during a call, it is bugged, or has zero cellular connectivity. Zero excuse after so many years of making phones. Almost as bad as Moto’s horrible cellular antennas or Apple’s iPhone 12 screen freezing.
I am amazed that even now YT reviewers are not speaking out about this phone. Almost makes me think that something else is in play. No one should buy the Pixel 6 as it is a dumpster dive and although some maybe lucky, overall it is extremly sub-par.
@@andyH_England yes! There's cool features but it sucks at any of the basics! The only way I think reviews can be honest is if they are using it as like a 3rd phone they only have to use a few times.
Have had the P6 standard since launch. Great all around. Would've gotten the pro if it wasn't such a whale of a phone. The P6 is even a little too big for my taste! Glad I got the standard 6 though cause i've had no issues with bugs, it stays cool all the time and the battery can last me 2 days. Which is not quiet the case on the P6 pro I keep hearing. Cheers!
My wife has had the regular 6 since day 1, she has been a pixel fan for a few years now and this has been mostly sub par. Always complaining about small bugs. The fingerprint scanner is by far the worst. The minor slow downs and all around midrange feel from a flagship is disappointing. The first time I believe that she will switch to IOS this year. The 3,3A,4,and 5 were and still are amazing but this 6 series are a pass, at least from her point of view.
I've had both the pixel 6 pro and the pixel 6. I've kept the pixel 6 as I found it way less buggy, just as you said. Weird that being a pro phone would cause so much fuckery in terms of how it performs....
Bro of all the phones you’ve reviewed which one would you recommend me? I am just looking for good performance 5g and a lot of place cause 64gb just ain’t it, I don’t care about the camera. My sister has a pocco f3, is it a good phone? Should I buy the same or the same mark but the last one who came out?
Got my pixle 6 pro bout 6 weeks ago, best phone I've had but I did love my Sony Xperia 5 mk ii tho before my pixle 6 pro, I did think it would be to big for me at first but I love the size n the screen of the pixle 6 pro the most, If any1 is thinking of upgrading or changing phones I can recommend the pixle 6 pro, can't stand Apple stuff n I'm a Android person
Strange, usually stateside I hear of the P6 encountering more issues. I have a P6Pro and didn't have 99% of the reported issues. I really like the phone and my only complaints are how far behind everyday Android features are behind Apple. (ie. Android Auto)
It is based on a low-yield Exynos chip that generally rule of thumb means bad QC, so for everyone getting a good chip there is some poor user with a piece of crap.
Just Watched this Lovely video and I like what have seen so far but I am still left wondering is this Phone going to be a Worthy Upgrade to My Samsung S20+5G since this is what have had for over 1.5 Years now?
@@TooComic NFC = Near Field Communication, on the pixel6 a system update fixed the issue now i can use it for contactless payments amongst other things so still using it, but looking at deals for the OnePlus 11, also to answer your question at Aaron Hazley my Pixel 6 pro does get very warm especially when using navigation !
Coming from a Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, where I only had notifications half the time, now I get everything and more! Love the camera, and the form and shape of the phone. Downsides, screen brightness in sunlight and the Bluetooth connectivity with my car, which connects, then disconnects and reconnects far too often. Unlike others, I seem to have no problems with my finger print, and I can't remember having any of the bugs mentioned. So I'm very happy overall.
After June update no problems, loving the phone. Fingerprint Sensor works fine on mine. Even licked it watching the video, and worked straight away. :)

Got the Pixel 6 (non pro), and it works so fast and smooth. Since the June update "most" bugs are fixed. Actually wondering how Android 13 will works out...
Pixel 6 Pro user here whilst this phone is a great phone, I think I'm gonna give the next Samsung s23 ultra a go next. Last few pixels have been great stock Android phones but I think Samsung is leading the way now
The fingerprint sensor is just complete garbate and since its one of the most important things on the phone, I dont think youre annoying with pointing it out. That said. I recently swapped to a S22 and its pretty much as bad. Optimal sensors just suck. The older pixel-sensors on the back of the phones were 10 times faster and 100 times more accurate.
I've never had a battery drain, or overheating problem. My Pixel 6 Pro always last all day long, and I use it normally. No real bugs outside of the random signal drop, but even that's rare. So I'm loving mine
Same here! The 13 beta hurts battery life on mine now, but that's not surprising as it's a beta.

I don't know why they have the camera's sticking out so much, as well as why they removed the fingerprint scanned at the back of the phone, which works great on older models.
its called progress
I'm completely happy with my 6 pro, I must be one of the lucky ones who's fingerprint scanner works each and every time, even with a screen protector on. Yes it does seem to overheat even when not doing intensive tasks but it doesn't affect it functioning properly. Photo's are awesome even in low light or at least to my aging peepers.
I love that you called your intro/recap "Just skip this bit" :D
Just got my P6P week ago replacing my OnePlus 8T,, loving every bit of it
have pixel 6 pro bugs been fixed now in 2024 with the recent updates?
@@iseerashonal821 all bugs fixed as of September, but I sold it off few week back for P9PXL
Camera (3/5):
Shooting photos and videos with this phone main camera is amazing, even in low light. It would always impress me, the stabilization is also good. The downside is the ultra wide camera. Shooting videos in low light with the ultra wide camera results in a washed out video. The quality is so bad that it is embarrassing to call this a "Pro" version. My 3 years old OP8 (OnePlus 8) shoots a way better ultra wide video in low light, and the camera is the OP's weakest point... The front camera photos are underwhelming. The telephoto is great, however, I only got to test it in normal lighting.
Battery (1/5):
This is a 5000 mAh battery device, it should last you the whole day without any trouble. Left home with 72% charge on my OP8 and 78% on the Pixel. I used Google Maps on my OP8 for 1h34m, 30 minutes of it is probably searching for places, the rest was for navigating around the cities. On the other hand, I used the Pixel for taking a few photos and 2 short videos, not more than 10 minutes of usage. Used it for chatting for around 45 minutes. This was a 8 hour trip. The OP8 went down from 72 to 39, the pixel went down frok 78 to 32. 33% with 1h34m Maps vs 46% with 45 min of chatting and a few shots and 2 videos. I tried Anker's 30W charger, and it charged around 13% in 10 minutes - definitely not 30W, my OP8 does 20% in 9 minutes. The phone's battery did well on Wi-Fi though, so the problem might be with it cellular receiver.
Software (2/5):
Google's phones are known for their "software". I am not impressed by it, not even a little bit. The camera app would crash so frequently that it got on my nerves. I bought this phone to take photos, and it has built its image on simply doing that, but they can't program an app that functions properly. Google assistant does not work when the phone is locked. I enabled the option in the settings for the assistant to give personal data when locked, but it didn't work. The routines in the Google Assistant didn't work either. The rest of the commands worked fine.
Performance (3/5):
The phone is fast, I didn't challenge it much except with compressing some videos. It is fast, and weirdly enough, it compresses videos to smaller sizes than on my OP8. It does heat up a little while compressing but that seemed normal to me. However, I noticed that it heats up a lot more with normal use (taking a short video, sharing it, chatting a little bit, TH-cam) than my OP8.
Build (4/5):
The phones looks amazing to me (highly subjective) and feels premium. However, the display seems hollow to me when I tap on it with my finger nails, comparing it to a Samsung A31, Note 5 and the OP8. I bought the white color - Google (and pretty much all companies) feels like they need to call it some weird name cloudy starlight or whatever - and it looked quite good. I hated the shiny aluminum frame, it looked like the shiny plastic frames you find on the A series from Samsung. The speakers are not good at all, but I am used to the OP8, which has one of the best speakers out there. I can't exactly describe how it sounds, but it sounds like when you turn on the "surrounding" setting for your headphones.
Fingerprint reader (3/5):
It is fast enough when it actually tries to read your fingerprint. What does that mean? There were many cases where I lift the phone, it lights up and shows the fingerprint reader, I place my finger there and nothing happens. I lift my finger and retry, and it reads it perfectly, never missing. I guess the phone would wait for the animation to finish playing before attempting to read my fingerprint.
I really like the Pixel 6 Pro. I've always used a protection case with my phones so I've never had any of the issues you mentioned.
@@TooComic I've never had any problems with it and it has never overheated.
Had a few niggles but i love mine. Excellent camera and UI etc. Love the editing options. Still prefer my Huawei P30 PRO though even now and if it wasn't for the ban I'd have had the P50 pro. 👍
Niggles? Careful now..
I have a p30pro at the moment. Do you reckon 6pro is a good upgrade?
@@TheNuranga123 It has a lot of positives. I'm happy overall. The camera is key for me and it's very good but zoom could be better and the fact it's Googles own phone for updates etc is a plus.
a few WHAT
Thanks Chris! Was hoping you would come back to the 6 Pro!
Had it, return it back after 1 week. Fingerprint issues, overheating are the least of it's problem. Much happier with a more polished and trouble free s22 ultra.
Exactly. Switched to the S22 ultra a week ago - no bugs, fast and reliable.
And $300 more expensive.
I did the opposite hated the s21 ultra and went to pixel 6 pro and could t be happier
@@daz7171 😂 pixel is not good with its 6 series hope thay do better with 7 and s22 ultra far better
I am a day 1 adopter and the phone getting hot is an understatement. During gaming sessions it can get to unbearable levels. The front sensor I've had some issues with and I still have no idea why they behind the rear finger sensor of the pixel 3 that was so perfect. The performance is there though, everything looks and feels great. I think across the board I enjoyed my pixel 3 more than my pixel 6. But if you are needing a strong and modern flagship phone its certainly stronger and I'll be using it for the forseeable future.
My fingerprint sensor on Pixel 6 Pro started to work recently!
Last update I gave it another shot, registered two of my fingers again ... and nothing worked, same old same old ... day later, no restart, no change in settings it started mysteriously working, and it still works almost flawlessly.
I have no clue why I was blessed with working FPS after it pretty much ignored me for half of the year. Might be down to some mysterious hidden update ... like USB DAC or VoLTE in pretty much every country :)
Still PFS on my OG Pixel and Pixel 5 works much better.
Had no real issues at all with my Pro , and the fingerprint sensor is working much better after the update
@@TooComic not at all
In terms of photos: they look very good in general. But when you look closer you will see ghosting from artificial background blurring. The same comes with lighting up dark areas and details. But astrophotography is very nice on this one. And Pixel 6 Pro is a nice point and shoot mobile camera.
I had the p6 standard for a little bit and the major complaints I had were;
Not bright enough
No Dolby Atmos
Shite finger print reader, better be ultrasonic or improved a lot
And maybe faster charge speeds would be nice even just 50w, but this is just a minor issue
My dude with the Coheed and Cambria album...you earned a sub :D
Hi Uncle Chris,
I bought the Google 6 Pro on launch and found it an amazing experience. Never had a finger print issue and found myself being a bit of a google finger print defender. Unfortunately I have noticed a couple of odd things over time. The finger print reader will work well for a span of time before for no apparent reason it begins to misbehave and I have to use my blasted pin. Then it goes back to normal and all is right with the world. The other strange thing I have noticed is that if you unlock your phone it is a little on the sluggish side. However if I use my finger print for an app such as my banking app or google pay it is much more responsive and even a touch quicker. Still over all I still love this phone and I still feel it gets far more criticism than a Samsung or most other phone brands would get if they had the same issues.
Your phone is posessed by a sassy teenage girl's soul!🤣
Another epic video 🖐️😀 just a quick one should I buy the pixel 6 pro or wait for the pixel 7 here in the uk cheers
Hey listening to the new Coheed album. 👍
I'll say my experience with the pixel 6 pro has gotten consistently worse since original purchase. Bugs have gotten more and more annoying with app crashes or UI crashing when switching between apps. If I'm outside in shade or no using my phone any longer than a few moments I am guaranteed to get the heat notification. And cell connectivity is seemingly getting worse too which is odd.
Loved my pixel 2 xl and pixel 4 xl, their limitations were the battery. Pixel 6 pro has great battery though so there's that. 🤷♂️
That Coheed album slaps hard 🔥
have pixel 6 pro bugs been fixed now in 2024 with the recent updates?
Can't say as I upgraded to the pixel 8 pro with most of the same sentiments still apply for the newer model. 🤷♂️
I love the pixel 6 pro, I'm not going to sit there and say that there haven't been people with major issues. However, I will say that with the most recent June update most of my complaints with the device have been solved. It seems like there have been a lot of people complaining about signal with the device, in my experience I do agree it isn't as good as some devices that I have used but it is far from the worst of any device either.
Well mine has just had its March major update. Uk. 650mb and I'm buggered if I can see any difference!!
I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for your thorough and insightful review of the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Your dedication to providing in-depth information after using the device for six months truly sets your content apart.

Your attention to detail in dissecting the features and functionality of the Google Pixel 6 Pro has been immensely helpful for someone like me who values a comprehensive understanding before making a tech purchase. Your commitment to sharing your experiences adds a personal touch that resonates with your audience.
While I commend your overall content quality, I would like to express a concern regarding the use of profanity in your reviews.

I believe your reviews can maintain their authenticity and humor without the need for explicit language. Other than that great job🙂🤙🏼
Nevertheless, I want to emphasize my gratitude for your hard work and dedication to delivering valuable tech insights. Your reviews have been instrumental in helping me make informed decisions, and I look forward to more of your content in the future.
This is 100% AI lmao
@@bruh2876 you're absolutely correct bro haha!🤣
I just wanted to test it out yo!🤣
The profanity you mention is deliberate and part of his brand. Look at the name of this channel.
Great video. Xiaomi band 7...... 1 month review most probably. Coz I've been looking at that thing on your wrist for some time now but no video out yet 😐.
I miss Nexus era…google cant repeat those amazing days specially nexus 4 and 5
Just got my pixel 6 pro last weekend, switched from being on iPhone since 2014 last android I had was the htc one m8 , gotta say it's good to be back on Android and I'm loving the pixel 6 pro
I got the pixel 6 pro when it launched and with everything you have said in the re review I can confirm, the one thing I really don't like about it is when you are on a call and go to a different app on just on the phone. You get a Google phone pop out head thing and every time I have turned it off it reappears. I would love it if Google went back to how it was when this phone launched
As someone who loves android and has had nexus phones in the past, I just couldn’t bring myself to get the pixel. £800+ with a poor fingerprint reader, bugs and abysmal battery life. Went for the 13 pro max instead and have no regrets.
Since launch I've still never run into any finger print reader issues on my 6pro. Everything else is true. Random bugs. Phone gets warm but never any performance issues. Great phone overall.
@@TooComic warm
@@TooComic I've never shot a video long enough for it to over heat
@TechSpurt what smart band are you wearing? I'm upgrading next year from a S21 Plus 5G as my partner is taking it over due to his A70 being old. Would you recommend the Pixel 6 next year? 🤔
Thx 😊 you still have it ?
Definitely experienced that slippery backing, before I got mine in a case it used to slide like a tiny glacier down the armrest of my couch and even down my leg if I was wearing something like business trousers!
Ironically, got it in a case and just a few days later it slipped out of my hands, fell and totalled the screen - repair cost is AUD$530 which is more than half the cost of the Aussie launch pricing, that's through Google's official repair channel so the IP68 rating is guaranteed after the repair (allegedly).
Interestingly the fingerprint sensor was excellent for me, huge step up over my bafflingly bad S20FE 5G that despite registering 4 digits only responses to left index finger, even after software updates. Pixel 6 Pro was fine on all four, just can't pick these things!
Loved the cameras though, huge step up from S20FE 5G and my Wife's S21+
Cheers for the 6 month review mate, great video concept even for those of us who bought at launch, even for a sanity check on things that we're experiencing. Keep up the killer work mate!
Very happy with my 6 Pro, can't really fault it tbh.
Love it, thank you for the recent review mine is underway switching from a lenovo legion duel 2 pro since lenovo never updated the software and abandoned the phone so went for something for the longrun of software
Pixel 6a or Samsung s21 Fe ?
My pixel 2xl is dying due to battery degradation and I am leaning towards the Samsung now
I have large hands so I appreciate the big screens we have today.
I actually am upgrading from the pixel 6 to the pro, I had serious issues for basically every update until June and it's quite nice now. The problem for me is I came from 120hz so 90hz feels a little choppy and I really do miss the telephoto. The rest is amazing tho I have to admit.
Your username reminded me that Bunta was actually young at one point in his life
Go to developer options and force 120 hz
@@vexedsauce3513 I have pixel 6 which is 90hz and it's noticably less smooth on big transitions than the s20 I came from.
@@30YearOldBunta oooooof bruh I have the pro already it's really good at least for me so far
Great video. Where do you get your screen anima backgrounds
I need that joker from persona wallpaper ;-; you always have the coolest anime and videogame wallpapers saved
As funny and counter-intuitive it is, you need to "moisture" the finger to make sure is not dry if the fingerprint is not working and you will be amazed how well it works. The fingerprint I mean, especially the thumb...optical and sonic btw.
Dude, you were here in Chicago, sweet
I only really had some issues with the fingerprint scanner ( better than previous phones) but now it's better than ever. The only really annoying bug is I now cannot use the Google assistant to make phone calls from the lockscreen without unlocking the phone
I just bought one and I hate how it heats with normal use!
This video is just over a year old and we now have pixel 7 and 8 with 9 around the corner
I'm glad someone else picked up on the fact that these things slide off literally any surface
Yes get a case!
It's nearly time for me to upgrade and can't decide between the pixel pro or the Samsung s22 plus 🤔
Wait for the pixel 7 pro in October, should be worth the wait
Both have their ok points and less good points , for me the curved edge screen is an instant fail , had three of the bastards , vowed to never have another , but you do get free bugs on the pixel :) , as for the galaxy , now the s models except the ultra have 1080 screens ( but at least they are flat ) , but no SD , no headphone jack , no accessories .....just like the crappy pixel , all these current and recent phones suck compared to older full featured models .
Android in general imo has become a major disappointment in recent years .
@@mikldude9376 just curious... What's with the curve screen? Slippery? Else?
@@MF_OXF would be another bug fest
What Pixel has made aware is the google software team is beyond incompetent. Almost a whole year later and I still have customers trying to return the device after only 5 days of use because the flash is flashing in their eyes during a call, it is bugged, or has zero cellular connectivity. Zero excuse after so many years of making phones. Almost as bad as Moto’s horrible cellular antennas or Apple’s iPhone 12 screen freezing.
I am amazed that even now YT reviewers are not speaking out about this phone. Almost makes me think that something else is in play. No one should buy the Pixel 6 as it is a dumpster dive and although some maybe lucky, overall it is extremly sub-par.
@@andyH_England yes! There's cool features but it sucks at any of the basics! The only way I think reviews can be honest is if they are using it as like a 3rd phone they only have to use a few times.
Great Delicious Party Pretty Cure wallpaper !! Love it!
Hey could you tell me from which character is this wallpaper from?
@@benji7449 delicious party precure 😇
Niiiice I have just been listening to that coheed album 😘
Have had the P6 standard since launch. Great all around. Would've gotten the pro if it wasn't such a whale of a phone. The P6 is even a little too big for my taste! Glad I got the standard 6 though cause i've had no issues with bugs, it stays cool all the time and the battery can last me 2 days. Which is not quiet the case on the P6 pro I keep hearing. Cheers!
My wife has had the regular 6 since day 1, she has been a pixel fan for a few years now and this has been mostly sub par. Always complaining about small bugs. The fingerprint scanner is by far the worst. The minor slow downs and all around midrange feel from a flagship is disappointing. The first time I believe that she will switch to IOS this year. The 3,3A,4,and 5 were and still are amazing but this 6 series are a pass, at least from her point of view.
I've had both the pixel 6 pro and the pixel 6. I've kept the pixel 6 as I found it way less buggy, just as you said. Weird that being a pro phone would cause so much fuckery in terms of how it performs....
Had mine since day one, have a couple of bugs but worst of all (for me) is Bluetooth. Switching to the Nothing 1 phone in a few days when it arrives
I don't have any issue with fingerprint scanner quick and snappy
Just wondering if you guys noticed what the caller said in call screen
Pixel 6 pro vs Samsung A55, which is better?
Bro of all the phones you’ve reviewed which one would you recommend me? I am just looking for good performance 5g and a lot of place cause 64gb just ain’t it, I don’t care about the camera.
My sister has a pocco f3, is it a good phone? Should I buy the same or the same mark but the last one who came out?
Google got somethings wrong with the Pro. Used 6 is discounted by $50-$100 while 6 Pro is $250-$300 on eBay.
What percentage is at the phone by end of the day with avg usage? Just trying to find out whether it last a day easily or not. Thank you :)
I love this guy's review xoxo
Got my pixle 6 pro bout 6 weeks ago, best phone I've had but I did love my Sony Xperia 5 mk ii tho before my pixle 6 pro, I did think it would be to big for me at first but I love the size n the screen of the pixle 6 pro the most, If any1 is thinking of upgrading or changing phones I can recommend the pixle 6 pro, can't stand Apple stuff n I'm a Android person
How you change sony with pixle, shocking, sony by far is thr best phone
have pixel 6 pro bugs been fixed now in 2024 with the recent updates?
Strange, usually stateside I hear of the P6 encountering more issues. I have a P6Pro and didn't have 99% of the reported issues. I really like the phone and my only complaints are how far behind everyday Android features are behind Apple. (ie. Android Auto)
It is based on a low-yield Exynos chip that generally rule of thumb means bad QC, so for everyone getting a good chip there is some poor user with a piece of crap.
@@andyH_England well, time to roll the dice i guess
You can't complain about scratching and Knicks when you choose not to get a case. All phones will do that when no protection is on it.
Just Watched this Lovely video and I like what have seen so far but I am still left wondering is this Phone going to be a Worthy Upgrade to My Samsung S20+5G since this is what have had for over 1.5 Years now?
.. “and people who just happens to hang around the same house as you” 😂👍
And nobody is talking about Astrophotography mode ... the one and only thing that made me switch!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice review will say the selfie camera is one of the best 👌 better than my s22 plus. )
This phone giving me nothing but headaches. The noticable worse signal/reception issues i had with this was the last straw
Exactly the problem I've started having the past few weeks. Still in warranty so gonna get it returned.
What is amazing is the Google people seem to have know idea how annoying it is for the fingerprint scanner to not work smoothly.
In my experience it went from 3-4 tries (or just ask me to use my pin) to 1-2 tries so
My Pixel 6 Pro regularly has connection issues & now the NFC doesn't work since android 13, High end Flagship device , going back to one+ !!!
@@TooComic NFC = Near Field Communication, on the pixel6 a system update fixed the issue now i can use it for contactless payments amongst other things so still using it, but looking at deals for the OnePlus 11, also to answer your question at Aaron Hazley my Pixel 6 pro does get very warm especially when using navigation !
I got pissed off with my 6 pro at the start and sold it, but it’s such an amazing phone I have re ordered it again, no other phone was quite like it
thx for the great and honest review. I like the cat.. I am still torn between this and Samsung S22+.
Looking at buying the 6 or 6 pro. Does seem like the standard 6 might be the best option. Thoughts??
Too big. So sick of large phones. And two things make this phone look less premium: the uneven bottom bezel and the “seams” on the camera bar.
Coming from a Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, where I only had notifications half the time, now I get everything and more! Love the camera, and the form and shape of the phone. Downsides, screen brightness in sunlight and the Bluetooth connectivity with my car, which connects, then disconnects and reconnects far too often. Unlike others, I seem to have no problems with my finger print, and I can't remember having any of the bugs mentioned. So I'm very happy overall.
Hey you always do a great job ! By the way, can you sometimes test the cameras with social media?
my dream phone
After June update no problems, loving the phone. Fingerprint Sensor works fine on mine. Even licked it watching the video, and worked straight away. :)
Hi Tech Spurt !!!!!
I wana buy me a Samsung Galaxy A73 or a Samsung Galaxy s21 FE but I don't know which will be best for me.I want a phone that can play games and also watch movies like a god.I stil want to have a well balanced phone to use everyday plus take photos.I know its alot to have in a budget phone but which will you recommend for me.A good phone for your money. Please Help !!!!

Bro from where did you get such a cool wallpaper
I've got the same colour as you inside a Spigen ultra hybrid clear case and absolutely love this phone..had some connection issues initially but seems ok now and the camera is amazing..everybody comments how good the pics are..so overall really pleased with it for £520 1 week old off eBay.. 😁👍
Hi what would be the best value sub £600 phone upro date , buying for my wife for Christmas she uses a lot of chat apps and some times family shots, was thinking of pixel 6 pro , but followed your re review and you mentioned it a bit buggy🤟
Wee single malt tonight mate ? What's your preference
Where do you get those awesome anime wallpaper??
Got the Pixel 6 (non pro), and it works so fast and smooth. Since the June update "most" bugs are fixed. Actually wondering how Android 13 will works out...
My phone got updated to Android 14 just the other day. A whole loader, new functions. I have no idea what they do or even where they are! Pixel 6 pro
What do you think about TCL 30+ you haven't done any reviesw on the 30 series I see
Pixel 6 Pro user here whilst this phone is a great phone, I think I'm gonna give the next Samsung s23 ultra a go next. Last few pixels have been great stock Android phones but I think Samsung is leading the way now
Can't agree more we wanted stock for less bug baut samsung oneui is polished 💯
What about the reception problems that many people report for the 6 pro? What good is a phone if you cannot use it?
The fingerprint sensor is just complete garbate and since its one of the most important things on the phone, I dont think youre annoying with pointing it out. That said. I recently swapped to a S22 and its pretty much as bad. Optimal sensors just suck. The older pixel-sensors on the back of the phones were 10 times faster and 100 times more accurate.
have pixel 6 pro bugs been fixed now in 2024 with the recent updates?
What earbuds were you using on this video when you were talking about the audio ?
Scam !!!!!!!
