      @@TheYAMAMAHA The Pixel 6 is a much better phone than the Pixel 2, I imagine the same can be said for the Pixel 1, but I can't say for sure because I went from a Nexus 5 to the Pixel 2. It is an upgrade from the 2 in every conceivable way except for the fingerprint reader in my opinion.

      Lol it's gonna take a while for peeps to get used to this new style
      Oh and it's not hold, it's just a single tap of both volume up and power buttons. Arguably that's both easier but requires 2 fingers instead of one

    I'm looking at getting a new phone (my LG G6 is 6 yrs old) and don't want to go with Apple or Samsung - this looks like a better option for me. I like the do not disturb feature at night for only certain people to let through. I get so annoyed when ads come through at 3 or 4 in the morning and wake me up. The security features are also something I want. For me, I think this Pixel 6 might be the way to go. I'm definitely going to keep your videos around. Thank you

    I've had the phone for a few days now and thought I found all the settings. You showed me a few I missed. Thanks for this. I followed along with you and set up a reminder. It did show up on the lock screen but the reminder never happened. When I went back to check, it said "overdue". What went wrong? Also, at 12:10 when you say you're setting one up, what did you touch? I had to say Ok Google because I didn't know of another way.

    Hi Alex.
    I see you're also on Rogers. I've noticed one issue that perhaps you can check to see if you also experience. On my Pixel 2, when I connect to the phone hotspot, connected devices get an IPv6 address. On my Pixel 6, this does not work, though the phone itself gets an IPv6 address. Can you see if the same happens with your phone? I have tried with the same SIM in both phones I have the plain Pixel 6, not Pro..
