I'm on S22 ultra, switched from the Pixel 6 strictly for the Fingerprint scanner. I miss the pixel 6 battery. After you have it for a bit, the battery really does adapt and makes it last based on your usage. It really is a smart battery.
I have had the pixel 6 ever since it came out and battery is really damn horrible. I have to charge 2 to 3 times a day, not to mention coverage dropping amongst other things .
@@TheWaruiSama I got my regular pixel about 10 days ago and I can go the full day with one charge easy. Its been absolutely amazing except from the fingerprint scanner. Im on 5 hours 27 minutes screen on time today and still have 33% battery left.
@@TheWaruiSama that's a load of crap. I charge my phone once a day. Sometime I can easily make it last two days or easily get 9hrs of screen time on moderate use.
pixel 6 user here, after the march update the phone seems more reliable and as for the battery, it really did not last much at first but after using it for arounds 3 to 4 days the phone feels amazing
I got my pixel 6 when it came out upgraded from Samsung s10. It's safe to say it's the best phone I've owned. Beside the slow fingerprint scanner I haven't had any major issues that made me switch again. They're minor bugs here and there easy to ignore I don't use 5g or adaptive brightness. It's performance is very good and camera is great
I also had an S10 and bought a pixel 6. I find all the little software bugs really annoying. It's especially frustrating if a Google app doesn't integrate well with the phone. My favorite example is that TH-cam doesn't reliably go full screen when you rotate the phone, and will often orient the video upside down. It's a nuisance that shouldn't occur. Every other phone manufacturer has figured it out, there's no reason Google's own apps shouldn't work seamlessly on their own phone.
I had a pixel 6 and it was a horendous experience. Signal drops take forever to come back, random bugs that's stick, shit Bluetooth, random battery draw, shit fingerprint, camera looks the same as my old pixel 3, super heavy. Sold it and got a refurb s21 and it's so much better
@@AssassinsFear really I didn't face any signal or Bluetooth issues... it seems like many people might have received faulty units. I saw an article it says if your serial number begins with 19 its likely that your pixel is more buggy
I've used it for about a year now. It's a great phone. Camera can replace your DSLR for most tasks. Only downside is it is very bulky and heavy. So I'm planning to sell it and get an s22
@@pathakkkk I really don't know your basic wish-list on a smartphone, but going from an s21 ultra which can give you approx. 7 to 8 hour Screen on time, to a phone that can barely give 3 to 4 hours on mobile data (my exynos s20 fe gives this much, I can say its a nightmare) can be a bad experience. If you don't really care about the battery life, then yeah you will have no problem.
@@pathakkkk I got the s21 ultra a few weeks ago. It's amazing. But it doesn't replace a DSLR in any way. Coming from an iPhone X the added focal lengths and brighter apertures make taking phone pics a blast. Compared to my real camera though the barely 12 mp resolution just doesn't hold up. Not even when looking at them on my phone. The detail in 100mp mode is way better but it sucks that there is no 24 or 36 mp downsampling because the actual detail it produces are no where near 100mp. Not even 50mp. So having 100mp files with 30mps of detail is just stupid.
Battery is average the first 2 to 3 weeks on the P6 Pro, then the adaptive battery kicks in and you will have an amazing battery life. The only problem with the pixel is the fingerprint. Can't wait for face unlock update which is being tested.
I was an iPhone user from 3gs to 7 and liked it enough but lusted over the Galaxy S8 at the time. Made the switch to the pixel 2xl and never looked back. Had the Pixel 4xl and now the Pixel 6 pro. The only thing I hate is Apple's walled garden but I can easily get over that. My work supplies us with an iPhone 13 to 'stay connected' but I hate the interface and find myself reaching for my Pixel
Pixel 6 here, very happy with it. Tried the galaxy ultra from a friend and I envy the high refresh rate, but I feel I couldn't get pass all the bloatware. Plus I prefer the imaging processing of the pixel
Pixel 6 for me too. My only gripes: fingerprint scanner is indeed a bit slow and inconsistent. I much preferred face unlock on my Pixel 4. Also, I seem to notice lag and dropped frames in the viewfinder when I first activate the camera. Not always, but it's clearly a bug that needs addressing. Other than this the phone is fantastic.
I've got an iPhone 13 Pro for personal things and a Google Pixel 6 for work and business. However I find myself using the pixel for a bunch of personal stuff as well. I'm really enjoying both phones 🙂
Bro same. I recently got the Pixel 6 for work. It's great for all that stuff because of the flexibility in my opinion. Plus the windows compatibility. iPhone is great for personal stuff and social media.
The only bug I have really noticed on my Pixel 6 Pro, is that the lock screen info doesn't show half of the time. But I can fix it by just turning the screen off, then on.
Yeah don't get one. I bought mine when it first released and I can soundly say that this is by far the worst experience I've had on a phone (this is coming from someone who has had many Nexus phones and the original Pixel, and love them!) The pixel 6 is very ambitious, but they totally botched it. My gf has a pixel 5a 5g and there are 0 problems there, so it's all the more disappointing to have the 6 act the way it does. I got an iPhone to replace this one and I love it
congratulations on the new video platform... i have anticipated a platform and enthusiasts tech born from your tech experience and I'm glad part of that expectation is becoming a reality soon... much love
Face Unlock on the P4 was great. I really hope they add a version of it to the 6 series using just the camera. Less secure obviously but for just unlocking the device it would be nice
Not at all. Hope they implement Soli radar chip into the Pixel 7 or a future Pixel. Pixel 4 3d face unlock was the closest any Android phone has ever come to Apple's Face ID.
I bought my Pixel 6 on pre-order (there was a great deal in Europe on it, as you got free Bose headphones with it). I loved the phone, but I kept having signal issues. In spots with weaker LTE the signal dropped and never connected back, missed many calls, caused a lot of headache. I got it replaced, and it had the same issue (on February update). Eventually, after many emails, Google agreed to have it returned and got a full refund. But I am sad, because I love the camera on the Pixel and the vanilla Android experience. I got an S21 Ultra afterwards. It's a great phone and it just works - waaay better connection, never had a drop. But... I still miss the Pixel.
With the pixel 4a 5g I had recently, adaptive brightness learns your preferences over time so if you feel it’s too low adjust the brightness to the level you want, and eventually the phone will go to that level in similar light.
Just wanted to throw my two cents in. I'm a reseller for T-Mobile, and I've noticed a few customers not getting 5G, myself included, despite the fact that your phone says 5G. Usually it comes down to an older SIM card. I had to replace mine as it was about 5-7 years old. It had been a long time. Maybe that's why at 8:30 you say you don't see any benefits. I had that same exact problem with my flip 3.
I’m a Verizon reseller and every new phone has a new sim when we get it in stock other then phones with a e sim like the razr or iPhone se 3rd gen. Do yours not come with SIM cards?
@@chappieq5805 since the iPhone 13 they haven't included them in the box. If the customer needs one, they're free at the register at the time of purchase, but if they don't that's less e-waste. It also makes it a little easier because it allows the customer choose to move their number to their new phone whenever they're ready, or to have me do it upon purchase.
But, in the past, if it was an upgrade, my T-Mobile tools didn't give me the option to update the SIM card, so they would still keep their old sim active.
I upgraded from my S20U to the Pixel 6 pro , man it's great , I haven't had a pixel phone since the 2xl and it was my favorite, this phone is great beautiful camera , love the software , performance is solid , the battery isn't all that great but solid enough , all around great.
I'm currently using s20U... The phone was a total disappointment for me.. camera is terrible.. I'm thinking of the s22U or pixel 6 pro or wait for z fold 4 or Xiaomi 12 ultra
@@dotkyo89 well if you willing to wait , you can see how the Pixel 7 pans out , all solid choice and I agree, The S20U was a let down (still performed great for me) but camera wise, that's really the disappointment came in , not that it was bad , just didn't live up to those expectations.
@@ortiztheinfamous2771 I think the shutter lag and the inability to take close up pictures really really bothered me.. for a phone that comes with insane specs and price tag but couldn't really do basic camera stuff. I couldn't scan some bar codes with certain apps. I had a much more enjoyable time with my Huawei mate20 X even without fast charging on that phone.
I am like MB's father. I'm cool with my Pixel XL OG having 8% when going to sleep and confident that it still will wake me up and have enough juice to scroll through some news in the morning. I am a light user. Get a few emails, occasional text, not many apps on the background or installed at all. Use web versions for some things instead of getting app to drain that battery.
@@derdummeasi Not anymore. If i remember correctly last update was Dec 2020. The only problem i had with sensors stopping working after Google app update. Had to remove permissions from Google to steps, etc. And it stopped doing this. There are no Android updates anymore, but all the rest stuff works (Google Play, Google apps, other apps).
Family just upgraded to pixel 6 a couple days ago. I came from the S20 FE, wife and mother from the OnePlus 7T. So far so good. Finger print works fast enough, I do miss the face unlock. Wish they would send out an update to enable that feature. I read somewhere that the pixel 6's do have the capability built in and all they need is a software update?
I'm currently using the google pixel 6. It's a great phone but its battery is not the best. The finger print scanner is slow and after the latest update the vibration is very bad. But for the money, really good.
I've had no issues with my 6 pro since day one and I've even used the beta... No issues. Not one. But I agree. My pixel 4 face unlock was so spot on that finger print readers are trash period.
I returned my Pixel 6 due to it dropping LTE a lot. And similar to what Marques described, it would take a long time to pick up signal again when it dropped. Seems like Google shouldn't have went with the Samsung modem.... Real shame as I liked the phone but this was a deal breaker for me. So not sure now what phone to get
Interesting. I bought 2 Pixel 6 phones in January. The dealer had only one in stock, so I had to wait a couple of days for the second one, which I passed on to a friend. She has has no issues with hers, but mine has had no successes. At the advice of the telecom tech person, I did a factory reset on mine, and if anything, it got worse. It refused to mate with my car bluetooth, and even though I pressed "cancel" sixty or more times to stop its 10 second interval attempts, I finally had to shut it down to stop its incessant dinging. Now I just found out that somebody has been trying to text me for a day, but it wouldn't inform me of those! The guy drove for an hour to make sure I hadn't died! I like the camera, but it really isn't that much superior to my old Pixel 3XL, and the complete lack of performance in other areas renders it totally useless. It is such a dumpster fire that I will fire it in a dumpster!
Please keep us updated on the switch experience. I was thinking of getting the pixel due to the greatly positive initial reviews but I've been hearing an increasingly alarming amount of later reviews about software bugs and issues.
I quite literally have all three phones and iPhone 13 pro a Samsung s22 ultra and a pixel 6 pro. Currently I'm using the Pixel 6 pro and I got to say the voice to text feature is quite literally the best feature I have ever seen on any phone. I'm using it right now to actually type this and I did not edit any of this with the actual keyboard. This is all voice straight to text. For someone who texts a lot, whether that be messaging an actual person or posting on social media, this is quite literally the best feature I have ever seen on a phone. If it comes to other Androids then honestly switching from an iPhone to Android make so much sense
I'm using the 11 and I almost never run the battery dry in a day. Most days I don't even see the 20% battery warning before I charge it again, and my screen on time average is like 8-9 hours a day, utterly nuts
Had the 6Pro for a couple months. Battery life has improved significantly. Med to heavy use and I get home with 20-30% still. My biggest gripe is the narrow ultrawide camera and the lackluster video. Not deal breakers at all. Awesome phone. I had an S10+ previously. Thing I hated most about that was how much Samsung would compress the hell out of images sent via sms, especially to iPhones. There are workarounds, but with my 6Pro, I don't need them. Now that Samsung comes with Google messages stock, I'm sure that complaint is a non-starter with the new Samsung S22 lineup.
Compressed images are largely at fault to cell carrier's, and I guess Google's for waiting so long. Google (and others) were pushing for carriers to get RCS handled so that we could all have a uniform upgrade. Carriers, being... well.. not people I'd respect, said no. So Google handled it. Similar story with iMessage to Android, the fault is largely Apple refusing to agree to a standard and agree with any sort of integration. Thankfully that's somewhat changing soon. I'm not a Google fanboy, but credit where it's due, and point fingers where they should be pointed.
You went on twitter and complained about the pixel 6 pro being buggy but yet you went and put your sim's card back in it that makes a whole lot of since
There are two things that bug me about the Pixel 6 Pro. The slow fingerprint scanner and the curved display. It is a pain to access the 2nd page of the drop down menu & the "use as" icon when changing wallpaper from an image, solely due to the curved screen. Other than that, a great phone.
Switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to a Pixel 6 Pro just in time for the March update, and it has been great so far! Only slight downside is the battery life but its expected since the iPhone's was ridiculous Also, I deleted Facebook a few days back and feel the whole phone running noticeably smoother overall so the initial jitteriness was probably caused by all the background bs its doing to track you
I have had the P6P for 3 months now and its constantly disconnects from my car bluetooth. Sometimes when I record something and there is sound it will make it high pitched, which I do not understand. Camera is good, lowlight is not great. Battery is the worst I have had on a phone. I get to about 50% with minimal use by 3pm. I was coming home from the bar the other night/ driving with the phone in the middle compartment, face up and it started randomly calling my boss on my "teams" app. Like WTF! I want to get rid of it asap, but can't decide what to get instead.
Had the same huge benefit from Turning off 5g on the pixel 6, also wish they would add face unlock even if its less secure, to have both like my old Oneplus would be great
I know everyone has been talking about the pixel 6 pro bugs after your tweet but what about them iPhone bugs? Both my wife’s and mine (13 pro max and 12 pro max) have the same glitches and bugs like getting stuck in silent mode even though silent mode is off, or the app tray not allowing you to type and search for an app.
I still have not found a reason to sell my Pixel 6 Pro for another boring Samsung and iPhone. No bugs, it's been amazing. And the pics it produces gets so many compliments.
Rocking the Pixel 6 right now, no complaints but some bugs here and there (Mainly WiFi issues where I have to restart the phone to get the ability to connect to WiFi again which I'm hoping will be fixed in the April update)
At&t pixel 6 pro phone does not allow you turn turn off/switch from 5G to other bands. Only way is to completely turn off the cellular signal and use wifi. Thats it smh
I’m on iPhone 13 but I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3. Damn iMessage and the fact the family is entirely Apple. I’m really left out for group chats and no one wanted to install a messaging app (“Why, iMessage is the best. Can’t you just get an iPhone?”). So I’ve an iPhone 13 and the Samsung is in the drawer 😢
@@pedrolizardi4923 in that case, it's ok. But it is still an app list. App drawer is more like selecting apps from a grid in a new menu. I have few essential apps in home screen and to access app drawer, I can just swipe up and see all the apps. It's like using desktop OS where only few applications are present on the desktop and the rest in start menu or all apps menu
The pixel fingerprint reader should have been the first thing they perfected because it's the first thing you use every time you turn on the phone. I can't see how they missed so badly with that.
I was about to jump on this and go "you shout at nothing for asking for money, then do the exact same thing"... then Andrew goes "it's transparent" - then it clicks that it was a piss take. Straight to the moon 😂 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (I wasn't watching the video, just listening while learning which is why I didn't see the disclaimer
I have the Pixel 6 since they first could deliver. Loved it. But, man, I felt like I kept having UI issues. It was annoying! Some icons wouldn't show, notification bars were cut in half, quite a few resets on it's own, wifi would constantly go on/off. Too many issues. I got tired of it after 6 months. Got an iPhone SE 3. No problems so far. No complaints.
@@prcvl Meh. I could have gotten any iPhone 13. I chose the SE, cause it does the job. I'm not a heavy photo taker and I don't have social media. It's lasted me the whole day without too much battery gone. The pixel 6 is a great phone, I just can't stand the software. Every update something is wrong.
Not sure what problems you're getting but on my end it's been nothing but praise from me for the Pixel 6. Can't imagine being locked behind the Apple ecosystem just because of some tiny hiccups like that. I use a custom launcher as well rather than the pixel launcher so that helps me as well.
@@guii5041 No doubt. It's a love/hate for the apple ecosystem. It's not a bad thing for some people. Especially those who aren't tech savey and just want an all in one place thing. It was much more than the tiny hiccups for me. The face that they're giving Samsung priority updates is what got me. Not a major thing. I get that they probably did it because out of all android phones, Samsung sells the best. I don't know. I've had android since the Nexus 5. Loved it. But, if I'm already experiencing this stuff not even a year in, can't imagine what year 2 to 5 are going to look like.
I bought the regular pixel 6 in January (in Hungary), and honestly, it's the best phone I ever had. I love it! I never had any major issues with it (not even minor ones to be honest). Yes, the fingerprint scanner can be annoying, but I use smart unlock with my fitness band and that helps a lot.

I got an S21 Ultra afterwards. It's a great phone and it just works - waaay better connection, never had a drop. But... I still miss the Pixel.
My friend who just got a pixel is in the exact same boat. He loves the phone but it’s constantly giving him signal and connection problems.
Got mine for 350 bucksn🤣
@@varunnarain50 I've got those too. Switched from a Oneplus 3 which had them also. I thought that it's carrier specific.
My only issue with my pixel 6 is adaptive brightness. It gets too dim in low light.
No need to mention the finger print scanner
With the pixel 4a 5g I had recently, adaptive brightness learns your preferences over time so if you feel it’s too low adjust the brightness to the level you want, and eventually the phone will go to that level in similar light.
I've been using the 4XL too and this is exactly the kind of conversation I needed to hear. Thank you guys.
I just got my pixel 6 a few weeks ago and love it. my last pixel was the 3.
I also came from the pixel 3. Didn't expect that big of a camera difference, since I already was impressed with the 3, but man!
Bros taking a dig at Nothing during the outro. Respect.
The disclaimer killed me
Just wanted to throw my two cents in. I'm a reseller for T-Mobile, and I've noticed a few customers not getting 5G, myself included, despite the fact that your phone says 5G. Usually it comes down to an older SIM card. I had to replace mine as it was about 5-7 years old. It had been a long time. Maybe that's why at 8:30 you say you don't see any benefits. I had that same exact problem with my flip 3.
I’m a Verizon reseller and every new phone has a new sim when we get it in stock other then phones with a e sim like the razr or iPhone se 3rd gen. Do yours not come with SIM cards?
@@chappieq5805 since the iPhone 13 they haven't included them in the box. If the customer needs one, they're free at the register at the time of purchase, but if they don't that's less e-waste. It also makes it a little easier because it allows the customer choose to move their number to their new phone whenever they're ready, or to have me do it upon purchase.
But, in the past, if it was an upgrade, my T-Mobile tools didn't give me the option to update the SIM card, so they would still keep their old sim active.
E-sim is the way to go
Do you have e-sim in the states yet?
I upgraded from my S20U to the Pixel 6 pro , man it's great , I haven't had a pixel phone since the 2xl and it was my favorite, this phone is great beautiful camera , love the software , performance is solid , the battery isn't all that great but solid enough , all around great.
I'm currently using s20U... The phone was a total disappointment for me.. camera is terrible.. I'm thinking of the s22U or pixel 6 pro or wait for z fold 4 or Xiaomi 12 ultra
@@dotkyo89 well if you willing to wait , you can see how the Pixel 7 pans out , all solid choice and I agree, The S20U was a let down (still performed great for me) but camera wise, that's really the disappointment came in , not that it was bad , just didn't live up to those expectations.
@@ortiztheinfamous2771 I think the shutter lag and the inability to take close up pictures really really bothered me.. for a phone that comes with insane specs and price tag but couldn't really do basic camera stuff. I couldn't scan some bar codes with certain apps. I had a much more enjoyable time with my Huawei mate20 X even without fast charging on that phone.
I am like MB's father. I'm cool with my Pixel XL OG having 8% when going to sleep and confident that it still will wake me up and have enough juice to scroll through some news in the morning. I am a light user. Get a few emails, occasional text, not many apps on the background or installed at all. Use web versions for some things instead of getting app to drain that battery.
All hail OG Pixel. I need a blue one for a collector's item
But there isn't software updates anymore right?
@@derdummeasi No more software updates. I just want the phone to have it
@@derdummeasi Not anymore. If i remember correctly last update was Dec 2020. The only problem i had with sensors stopping working after Google app update. Had to remove permissions from Google to steps, etc. And it stopped doing this. There are no Android updates anymore, but all the rest stuff works (Google Play, Google apps, other apps).
Family just upgraded to pixel 6 a couple days ago. I came from the S20 FE, wife and mother from the OnePlus 7T. So far so good. Finger print works fast enough, I do miss the face unlock. Wish they would send out an update to enable that feature. I read somewhere that the pixel 6's do have the capability built in and all they need is a software update?
Really i don't understand why 0.5s fingerprint make them so frustrated, why are they số hurry. Or just a reason to blame ?
They should add IR face unlock back into the pixel series by making a sleek hole punch cutout for it
I'm currently using the google pixel 6. It's a great phone but its battery is not the best. The finger print scanner is slow and after the latest update the vibration is very bad. But for the money, really good.
I've had no issues with my 6 pro since day one and I've even used the beta... No issues. Not one. But I agree. My pixel 4 face unlock was so spot on that finger print readers are trash period.
I highly doubt you didn't have any issues at all.
Andy just saved my pixel experience. i live in the boonies no use for 5g and I was wondering why my pixel would die so quickly. That explains alot
I returned my Pixel 6 due to it dropping LTE a lot. And similar to what Marques described, it would take a long time to pick up signal again when it dropped. Seems like Google shouldn't have went with the Samsung modem.... Real shame as I liked the phone but this was a deal breaker for me. So not sure now what phone to get
Google used a older modem and that's why y'all was having the issues
Interesting. I bought 2 Pixel 6 phones in January. The dealer had only one in stock, so I had to wait a couple of days for the second one, which I passed on to a friend. She has has no issues with hers, but mine has had no successes. At the advice of the telecom tech person, I did a factory reset on mine, and if anything, it got worse. It refused to mate with my car bluetooth, and even though I pressed "cancel" sixty or more times to stop its 10 second interval attempts, I finally had to shut it down to stop its incessant dinging. Now I just found out that somebody has been trying to text me for a day, but it wouldn't inform me of those! The guy drove for an hour to make sure I hadn't died! I like the camera, but it really isn't that much superior to my old Pixel 3XL, and the complete lack of performance in other areas renders it totally useless. It is such a dumpster fire that I will fire it in a dumpster!
I don't know how pixel 6 pro passed qa
Please keep us updated on the switch experience. I was thinking of getting the pixel due to the greatly positive initial reviews but I've been hearing an increasingly alarming amount of later reviews about software bugs and issues.
Its a great phone IF it doesn't chortle. If you're that interested I'd get it with good warranty, or just get a samsung xd
@@seanm338 Thanks for the input. also funny you say or just get a samsung coz Im currently using a s20 Fe XD
@@kennyzk1567 lol yh the s20fe is a great phone for sure
2:20 case users represent!
1:11 "hate how many icons on the homepage"
yes! the real reason why i stuck with android
I quite literally have all three phones and iPhone 13 pro a Samsung s22 ultra and a pixel 6 pro. Currently I'm using the Pixel 6 pro and I got to say the voice to text feature is quite literally the best feature I have ever seen on any phone. I'm using it right now to actually type this and I did not edit any of this with the actual keyboard. This is all voice straight to text. For someone who texts a lot, whether that be messaging an actual person or posting on social media, this is quite literally the best feature I have ever seen on a phone. If it comes to other Androids then honestly switching from an iPhone to Android make so much sense
ayo, the investment joke at the end kills me😂😂😂
I must have the best pixel ever. Great battery every night 45% every night. Fingerprint is slow. I miss 4 XL face unlock. but no other problem.
I love the motion sensor on the Pixel 4xl, absolutely love it
I m hoping pixel 7 pro have it
‘Ew’😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Killed me
andrew trying to be excited for his new phone whilst marques listing every single minute fault with it
Andrew don’t worry, I have to charge my iPhone 8 literally 3 times a day
From the worst battery life to 'holy cow how did they do it' crazy battery life, iphones have truly evolved
Idk about "evolved" but yeah they definitely improved their battery
I'm using the 11 and I almost never run the battery dry in a day. Most days I don't even see the 20% battery warning before I charge it again, and my screen on time average is like 8-9 hours a day, utterly nuts
It helps that they went from 1800 mAh batteries to 4500mAh batteries. That's most of it.
Worst battery you’ll find in a phone whet are you going on about. Android phones are up to 5000 mah. And iPhones haven’t even reached 3000
@@megami215 I think you misinterpreted his comment…
Had the 6Pro for a couple months. Battery life has improved significantly. Med to heavy use and I get home with 20-30% still.
My biggest gripe is the narrow ultrawide camera and the lackluster video. Not deal breakers at all. Awesome phone.
I had an S10+ previously. Thing I hated most about that was how much Samsung would compress the hell out of images sent via sms, especially to iPhones. There are workarounds, but with my 6Pro, I don't need them. Now that Samsung comes with Google messages stock, I'm sure that complaint is a non-starter with the new Samsung S22 lineup.
Compressed images are largely at fault to cell carrier's, and I guess Google's for waiting so long. Google (and others) were pushing for carriers to get RCS handled so that we could all have a uniform upgrade. Carriers, being... well.. not people I'd respect, said no. So Google handled it.
Similar story with iMessage to Android, the fault is largely Apple refusing to agree to a standard and agree with any sort of integration. Thankfully that's somewhat changing soon. I'm not a Google fanboy, but credit where it's due, and point fingers where they should be pointed.
Every time I hear "so far so good" I picture The magnificent 7
Don't know why, but this conversation has such a chill vibe ^^
I relate to Andy on the battery part. I freakout when the battery is below 50 percent . Ideally I always have it from 90 percentage till 40 maxxx.
You went on twitter and complained about the pixel 6 pro being buggy but yet you went and put your sim's card back in it that makes a whole lot of since
Battery life on the phone gets better with time thanks to the adaptive battery feature.
As an Andriod fanboy, I am happy that you went with the Pixel 6.
There are two things that bug me about the Pixel 6 Pro. The slow fingerprint scanner and the curved display. It is a pain to access the 2nd page of the drop down menu & the "use as" icon when changing wallpaper from an image, solely due to the curved screen. Other than that, a great phone.
Switched from an iPhone 13 Pro Max to a Pixel 6 Pro just in time for the March update, and it has been great so far! Only slight downside is the battery life but its expected since the iPhone's was ridiculous
Also, I deleted Facebook a few days back and feel the whole phone running noticeably smoother overall so the initial jitteriness was probably caused by all the background bs its doing to track you
What was the main reason for your switch to the Pixel?
What watch do you use?
Facebook really is the culprit here
You can hide icons on the iPhone home screen now and still access them via search.
Why do you guys get the pixel if it has so many issues. Especially the signal strength one. Small things like that add up makes it really bad.
I have had the P6P for 3 months now and its constantly disconnects from my car bluetooth. Sometimes when I record something and there is sound it will make it high pitched, which I do not understand. Camera is good, lowlight is not great. Battery is the worst I have had on a phone. I get to about 50% with minimal use by 3pm. I was coming home from the bar the other night/ driving with the phone in the middle compartment, face up and it started randomly calling my boss on my "teams" app. Like WTF! I want to get rid of it asap, but can't decide what to get instead.
Had the same huge benefit from Turning off 5g on the pixel 6, also wish they would add face unlock even if its less secure, to have both like my old Oneplus would be great
i got the pixel 6 pro about 2 weeks ago swapped from iphone 12 pro max, and i love the phone alot besides finger print scanner its an amazing phone
You don’t have to have a bunch of icons on the homepage in iOS
Can you re-arrange the widgets and place them where you want or do they still gravitate to the top?
i have an iphone se 2020. hopefully i upgrade my phone. Either pixel 6/7 when that come out, iphone 14 when that comes out, or s22.
I know everyone has been talking about the pixel 6 pro bugs after your tweet but what about them iPhone bugs? Both my wife’s and mine (13 pro max and 12 pro max) have the same glitches and bugs like getting stuck in silent mode even though silent mode is off, or the app tray not allowing you to type and search for an app.
You probably need to reinstall the OS
And they get to know their' s internet history 🤣
Pixel 6 has some quirks for sure but.. awesome phone! Also you guys make an awesome team. More videos with both of you please.
Andrew buying a car is also a meme at this point 😂
I waited to get a Pixel 6 Pro for the initial issue, but so far it's been flawless. Only upgraded because my Pixel 4 battery was getting weak
Can we connect Samsung tab s8 ultra as a monitor with Apple Mac studio M1 ultra 🙏🏼
If yes then how we can connect please tell me
I wish Andrew seemed more comfortable already, he’s got no reason to be nervous he’s a cool guy that does a lot of cool shir
Pixel 6 owner here. You'll get use to not having face id don't worry
Got my pixel 6 at launch and so far it has been nothing but improvement for me. The only complaint would obviously be the fingerprint sensor.
I still have not found a reason to sell my Pixel 6 Pro for another boring Samsung and iPhone. No bugs, it's been amazing. And the pics it produces gets so many compliments.
I haven't had any of these crazy UI issues with my Pixel 6 that other people have been having.
Thats one of the problems: inconsistencies
Bugs are largely subjective. If you don't get them you don't get them. There's an element of luck involved here
Andy; Battery range anxiety at maximum if his phone go down at 50%...
Marquees: Oh you are one of those.... 🤣
I love how the pixel 6 looks.. it looks perfect and the black rim ooof
You can move the icons onto a second page. That cannot be a reason to avoid ios
That’s what I’ve done. I have personal focus has just has the wallpaper and then a work focus which has my folders and widgets.
nice teaser to the bomb you're gonna drop on 1st APRIL!!! XD
Rocking the Pixel 6 right now, no complaints but some bugs here and there (Mainly WiFi issues where I have to restart the phone to get the ability to connect to WiFi again which I'm hoping will be fixed in the April update)
At&t pixel 6 pro phone does not allow you turn turn off/switch from 5G to other bands. Only way is to completely turn off the cellular signal and use wifi. Thats it smh
I’m on iPhone 13 but I prefer the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3. Damn iMessage and the fact the family is entirely Apple. I’m really left out for group chats and no one wanted to install a messaging app (“Why, iMessage is the best. Can’t you just get an iPhone?”). So I’ve an iPhone 13 and the Samsung is in the drawer 😢
Too many icons on an IPhone? He knows he can edit home pages and remove all the apps from the Home Screen right? There’s an app drawer on iOS now
Homepage on iOS is a hot mess
It's not an app drawer. It's just grouping of apps
@@androwindo no it’s an app drawer in alphabetical order , the grouping is just automated , swipe down on the groups and you’ll bring out the list
@@pedrolizardi4923 in that case, it's ok. But it is still an app list. App drawer is more like selecting apps from a grid in a new menu. I have few essential apps in home screen and to access app drawer, I can just swipe up and see all the apps. It's like using desktop OS where only few applications are present on the desktop and the rest in start menu or all apps menu
@@pedrolizardi4923 yeah...its a mess
The pixel fingerprint reader should have been the first thing they perfected because it's the first thing you use every time you turn on the phone. I can't see how they missed so badly with that.
The June update fixes nearly every issue mentioned with the Pixel 6.
I was about to jump on this and go "you shout at nothing for asking for money, then do the exact same thing"... then Andrew goes "it's transparent" - then it clicks that it was a piss take. Straight to the moon 😂 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
(I wasn't watching the video, just listening while learning which is why I didn't see the disclaimer
iPhone 13 pro max or should I go with pixel 6 or 6 pro I can't decide I've used an iPhone before just not sure what I should go with ?
I have the Pixel 6 since they first could deliver. Loved it. But, man, I felt like I kept having UI issues. It was annoying! Some icons wouldn't show, notification bars were cut in half, quite a few resets on it's own, wifi would constantly go on/off. Too many issues. I got tired of it after 6 months. Got an iPhone SE 3. No problems so far. No complaints.
thats a pretty big downgrade
@@prcvl Meh. I could have gotten any iPhone 13. I chose the SE, cause it does the job. I'm not a heavy photo taker and I don't have social media. It's lasted me the whole day without too much battery gone. The pixel 6 is a great phone, I just can't stand the software. Every update something is wrong.
Not sure what problems you're getting but on my end it's been nothing but praise from me for the Pixel 6. Can't imagine being locked behind the Apple ecosystem just because of some tiny hiccups like that. I use a custom launcher as well rather than the pixel launcher so that helps me as well.
@@prcvl the se 3 has better performance
@@guii5041 No doubt. It's a love/hate for the apple ecosystem. It's not a bad thing for some people. Especially those who aren't tech savey and just want an all in one place thing. It was much more than the tiny hiccups for me. The face that they're giving Samsung priority updates is what got me. Not a major thing. I get that they probably did it because out of all android phones, Samsung sells the best. I don't know. I've had android since the Nexus 5. Loved it. But, if I'm already experiencing this stuff not even a year in, can't imagine what year 2 to 5 are going to look like.
I’m surprised he didn’t have the overheating issue. That’s why I returned mine. Got so hot
loving this clips, awesome thx for sharing
My pixel 6 has been heating alot with only very less usage like scrolling through Instagram or even watching.
Wait did he just say new platform!?
I bought the regular pixel 6 in January (in Hungary), and honestly, it's the best phone I ever had. I love it! I never had any major issues with it (not even minor ones to be honest). Yes, the fingerprint scanner can be annoying, but I use smart unlock with my fitness band and that helps a lot.
it's funny how you put disclaimer to not send money LOL
Mkbhd is BACK
Should have gone for samsung
S22 or S21 ultra
Clicked on the video and the first thing I see is Andrew touching the mic. Dang dude. Haha
Using the S22 Ultra.... It's just beyond limit!
Once you start using the 10x optical zoom... You will never be satisfied again with a phone without it
