Sounds like the camera is doing exactly what I want for a digital photograph: capturing the maximum amount of information. Can always adjust contrast, saturation, white/black points, etc. in post, which is the beauty of digital. Obviously, for people who like to take a shot and be done, I can see prioritizing other things, but for my work flow that low contrast-high information density output is a perfect starting point for great pictures. Any of those Pixel shots could be easily manipulated to look like the iPhone shot, while the reverse is not true.
@@andrewprasanna9323 Depends on what you mean by those terms, but if by sharpness you mean acutance, that can certainly be changed in post (both increased and decreased). If by clarity you mean local contrast, that too can be adjusted in post. However, the details which you are contrasting were either caught in the image or they were not. If you have captured details, you can always soften or blur an image such that those details are no longer visible. If you didn't capture something in the first place, no amount of post processing can manifest it.
I just wish they provided an option to disable the hdr. The amount of details in the darks is just too much. Night sky is too bright with the amount of processing this phone does. It's just not natural looking or feeling. Having the ability to disable hdr would make this phone amazing.

You can tweak that in like a second, hell half the time the auto-process makes the photo look perfect for Insta or whatever with just a single click.

@@NasifIstiak You'd be surprised how many of my on-the-go shots come from the iPhone. It's not my preferred smartphone on the whole, but there's a reason it gets rated so favorably when it comes to video!
Always comes out to be the best reviewers. No nonsense. Just what exactly you want to know to decide whether to buy or not. Very spot on. Just the level of details. And a wholesome package. Very frank with his opinions.
I like the clarity of the Pixel photos. As long as what I'm taking a photo of is well represented, I'm happy. There doesn't need to be a specific amount of blur, clarity, brightness, or darkness. Google's done a good job with some of the new features. I'm looking forward to the Motion Mode along with the better skin tone processing. Photography is an art and the desired look will be different to each person. What's ironic is when people talk about natural looking photos and they use PhotoShop on all their photos.
And that’s ok if the camera isn’t the reason you are buying a phone. But for some of us we want the best camera, we will never get a chance to retake a better picture from the past.
I have to agree. What's funny is when you see blind photo tests and a certain "king of cameras" NEVER wins or even comes close.... Because people love to say they want one thing but their eyes and brain want another. I suspect it's not even entirely just about that though, it's more about them saying they want whatever their pre-selected choice offers. Forget what actually looks better. Case in point the aforementioned "King of cameras" is taking very Pixel looking pictures with super heavy contrast and heavier color saturation. You know.... The very things they spent years saying they didn't want in a picture. Now it's better suddenly when their brand is doing it 🙄
@@Zeeangelofdeath if that's your concern that's exactly why you'd want a pixel 6! The sensor captures incredible amounts of data (more than the iphone 13) that you can very easily edit later to your liking. most smartphones don't let you do that to such a degree. I'd rather have a camera that lets me play with more data in post-processing than a camera that gets what it thinks that I want every time.
@@S7ARBOY This. Also, so many people fail to look past the simple photo comparisons to the *rest* of the camera experience. Given unlimited time and patience, I can probably take a more technically impressive photo with (for example) Sony's latest Xperia than with the Pixel. But the Pixel (and now the iPhone) lets me take good photos without even trying - and even great photos with a minimum of effort. It's weird to say, but ... cameras are more than photos.
Got my Pixel 6 almost a week ago, I have loved it ever since! A lot of the complaints I have personally experienced and agree with, but it is one of the nicest smoothest and most enjoyable experiences I have ever had with a smartphone.
Wow! That old Nexus wallpaper at 2:17 was a real hit of nostalgia...fantastic review as always Michael, I'm excited to see what Google can improve with software updates. My last Pixel was the 1st gen, and it still has that extra bit of "Google polish" all these years later. Hope the 6 sells well!
Iv had my 6 pro for a day now. Ans all I can say is wow! Just wow! I use s21 ultra and iPhone 13 pro max. So 2 great phones. However the pixel is now my all time favourite. It's certainly smoother and faster than the other 2 and also takes better photos. Absolutely great to be back with Google! Well done Google it's been a few years but it's great to be back where I belong.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏 for doing a review of the Pixel 6 and not just the Pro. I’ve noticed most of the tech channels I subscribe to chose to compare the Pixel 6 Pro to the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the base model was just a side note and quickly mentioned, but never examined properly. This is the review I have been looking for, and it was spectacular as usual. You definitely did the device justice. Mr. Mobile, you’re my hero. 😉😏
I've been battling in my head to go with the 6 or the pro......this review makes the decision for me. I don't care for telephoto and 90hz is my sweet spot on phones that's why I have been on the pixel 4xl for so long...it has been my favorite device ever and it looks like the 6 will do what I need it to do and more....even with shooting videos and photos using Filmic. Great review.
Excellent video as always Michael. I think this was the first truly earnest attempt at a real "Google Flagship". I personally haven't been this excited about a Google phone since the Nexus 5. Not to mention the value to cost ratio! For us here in the US this has to be the best value Android device available hands down.
Just seen that a certain MKBHD has 15 mil subscribers. As good as he is, it amazes me that this channel doesn't have far more subscribers than 1.1 mil. Mrmobile videos are slick and most importantly, completely unbiased toward android or ios.
Hello Michael, its so refreshing to finally seeing a review for the Pixel 6. I pre ordered it and so looking forward to having in my hands very soon. Beautifully Made Content as well. Take Care!
Your reviews are top tier, as always. I unfortunately couldn't wait and bought the phone last night to get those free earbuds but I was still second guessing my decision to get the 6 over the 6Pro. This has assuaged me. There might come a time where it's worth spending an extra $300 to get it all, but I'm thinking it's not this year. I'd rather get the good-value phone and maybe upgrade down the road when Google refines the new build
Awesome review - kept checking your twitter feed to see when you were going to post this. The 6 looks fantastic, and I'm very tempted now to purchase one.
Watched this on my Samsung S21 and just tonight on my carrier, via the app, I upgraded to the Pixel 6. The Samsung is decent but there's many features I missed from Pixel. I used to have a 4a 5g. I'll get my phone by mail tomorrow. Great review and I so look forward to my new Pixel 6.
I dont watch anyone else's phone reviews, except for this guy's. I've been subscribed for awhile now, the way he presents is amazing, keep it up brother.
@MrMobile, sir, I've watched almost every review from all the big influencers on this phone. Yours is the first one on which I'm commenting. Excellently done. I appreciated the balance; you gave a nod to the hard work and effort Google clearly put into this phone. Finally! (Looking at you, Osterloh) You also called out the phone for its weaknesses in a fair way (the battery menu is atrocious, but I have yet to experience poor battery on my 6P). Very well done review. Looking forward to the Pro's review. #subscribed #notify
Pixel 6 is the first phone I have bought in a while, that I think I'm going to keep for years. It has a very "iPhone" sort of feel to it. Like, nothing spectacular but everything just works absolutely perfectly
What a coincidence!!! Just searching for your channel keeping in mind why am I not getting your video notification on pixel 6 and then this just pop up !! GC
Solid, consistent and subtle Star Trek easter egg drops my friend! I wonder if Google tried every possible way to trademark their own VISOR slogan or logo LOL!
This is the best review of this phone ever, and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for this kind of experience to be in folding phones, this delightful software and fun cameras, with reliable and swift software updates!
Man his reviews are becoming more rich quality nonetheless the solid information he points out in his every video is just too good. Keep up the good works.
I received the pixel 6 and I expected the camera to be way better, but maybe they need an upgrade? Everything else is fast and easy to pick up. I still have 14 days to return if i don't like it.
While I couldn't wait for your review Michael and went and pre-ordered the P6 in Sorta Seafoam, I'm glad to hear your more extended use case validates a lot of what I'd heard from other channels. Appreciate your in depth review here as always - you are appreciated!
Watching on my pixel 3a xl, debating on upgrading. The new update did update my current pixel with some things, like the wallpaper options and bigger toggles with color customization. Android 12 seems to affecting some apps in a bad way, hoping they're just bugs to work out. Just don't know if it's worth the upgrade yet, but I appreciate you reviewing the pixel 6.... instead of the 6 pro like everyone else is doing! If anyone has had experience with the 3a xl and the 6, I'm open to suggestions!
I'm also watching on pixel 3a XL, debating upgrading to pixel 6 or Pro because the pixel 3 family, including 3axl, will stop being supported in may of 2022.
Same here watching from a Pixel 3a and I must say I love my phone, the photos are amazing. I'm just not fully convinced Pixel 6 will be better. Is upgrading to pixel 5 a silly idea?
I just upgraded to it from the 3a XL. My initial takeaways: Best improvements: - Android 12 is super smooth on the 6, it was a bit slow on my 3a XL. My first flagship phone, and it's performance is outstanding - 5g! - Camera is better, and the magic eraser is truly amazing. Haven't used video yet - Sturdy glass/metal body, my polycarbonate 3a warped a bit like many others - Adaptive refresh up to 90 Hz (I'm told that's a good thing) - Transferring data, pics and apps is super easy. Just use your USBC cable and follow prompts A few things you will miss about the 3a XL: - No headphone jack - 3a is lighter. 6 is heavier - Glass body is nice but get at case, I've heard you can crack it if it drops - I really miss the rear fingerprint scanner, you will get used to the under screen scanner. Works pretty well
I am glad you are separating the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro reviews, unlike Marques. However, is it fair to compare the camera of a $599 phone to a $1,099 phone?
Hey Michael! Thanks for having one of the few reviews on TH-cam that covered just the six instead of the six pro! Just ordered my Six and you confirmed that I made a good choice! Love your reviews, man! Love traveling the big city and out in the countryside when you review tech, even if you're talking about something I have no intention of buying!
the 6 is just too big. after having the soft back of the pixel 5, I don't want a glossy, slick back or a 6.4" screen... guess i have to keep the 5 until the 7 hits and see if that one isn't massive
Would've loved to finish the entire video but when you said "Google" at 12:40 assistant kept activating on the same device I'm watching on lol. Great video nonetheless Mike!
Such a top-tier review as always. Having watched a number of reviews over the last few days, battery life has been described as average to sub-par by many. I've read comments though, that turning off 5g massively alleviates this issue. Would be cool if you could address this in your Pro review!
DAYM, hanging with funkmaster Marc Rebillet. Good to see! You simply make the best reviews. Thoughtful, all those small delightful details, and the perfect voice delivering accurate descriptions of a phone you have actually taken the right amount of time to review. Thank you.
Reviewers are all over the map on battery life. Some are saying it's terrible, some saying it's really good, and everything in between. Have just had mine a couple days and doing initial downloads/install/setup/configuring so will have to see how it goes after I settle into more typical use. So far my sense it'll end up being "good but not great" for my usage.
01 25 Maybe because I keep checking my lock screen to try and decipher those random numbers but my 512 Pixel 6 Pro needs a charge at around 05 30 pm. I'm used to my Huawei P30 pro making it to bedtime with 40% battery. But the P30 did not have random numbers on the lock screen. Maybe the Pixel 6 pro is using processor power to generate codes that are important only to itself? For example: 09 34 What does it mean?????
7:35 imo the pixel shots looks 100% better. If someone would edit these they would try to bring down the highlights and up the shadows for more detail. But its personal opinion when I started editing I liked contrast images and with more shadows/highlights the typical rgb S curve like on the iphone.. But now im the opposite lol I think the more flatter raw and clean image looks better its less distracting and easier to look at. I can see they bring up the shadows and down the highlights which create a nice effect and also brings more information in the photo. Then u can edit alot but it shouldnt be to much contrast or to much saturation like the iphone have. I dont know I just think it looks very amateurish like a child would have have bumped up the highlights contrast and darken
I usually like to keep a phone for as long as possible. I had a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium for 4 years before upgrading to my current OnePlus 7 Pro, which I've now had for 2 years, but the new Pixels look so good with all their features that I'm tempted to upgrade earlier than I expected. I'm really impressed with what Google is doing this year and amazing review as always.
Never buying a first from Google after being burnt before.. I'll wait a couple of models for them to sort out issues w/ tensor and hopefully they improve the speed of the camera
Just received my Pixel 6 a few days ago, my main two gripes with it are that there is no built in Gallery, you're directed straight to Google Photos and that there's also no built in music player, you're stuck with either TH-cam music or Play Music, the latter of which is horrible for music stored locally and always seems to want to be connected to the internet to even play local music. I personally download all of my music, so that makes it extremely frustrating coming from a Galaxy S10+ where Samsung Music does a great job at organizing everything into albums and playlists. I find myself reaching back for my S10 just because everything just works. I'm gonna give it a couple weeks, and if the Pixel doesn't amaze me I think I'm going to just go get the S21+.
I got it about 3 days ago. Could not be more impressed. Especially the lighting controls. I have vision issues, and this blows my S-10 out of the water! No matter what I did, I could not look at my S-10 and actually read it in the dark for several minutes. My eyes have trouble adjusting, but with this it is like looking a Kindle at night!!! And it does it automatically with a little tweaking on the settings!! :) Wonderful. Great camera. The colors matching pictures also is very cool! And the price. I probably spent$1000 on my S-10 a couple of years ago.
It is for most people. What does a super shiny phone get you when the battery life is just way too bad... and even if it had like 60W fast charging, this wouldn't solve anything.
Same here, I am a Pixel 2 XL user and have been waiting for years for Google to release a proper flagship phone. After seeing all reviews indicating an average battery life, I bought an iPhone 13 pro max just yesterday despite how much I hate IOS but mediocre battery life is a no go for me. It's called mobile phone for a reason, I shouldn't need to plug it every few hours! how good are all these futuristic super smart features of the Pixel if the phone is dead? Or am I supposed to be stressing out every time I am using my NEW phone that the
@@debo2189 The battery on your iPhone will be quickly degraded by the many BS updates Apple pushes. My 12 pro max started great and now has less than 90% max capacity after less than a year. I’m lucky to get 5 or 6 hours of sot.
2:17 I really miss that live wallpaper. I own an iPhone and despite that it’s a great phone, I really get more excited with open source and android news.
Personally, I think this phone is probably the better of the two brands. Price wise to features. Yes it lacks a telephoto lens but I think people can live without this.

@@NasifIstiak You'd be surprised how many of my on-the-go shots come from the iPhone. It's not my preferred smartphone on the whole, but there's a reason it gets rated so favorably when it comes to video!
Your reviews just keep getting better and better! Bravo!
Love that this isn't a combo review with the 16 pro.. Awesome review as usual!
Always comes out to be the best reviewers. No nonsense. Just what exactly you want to know to decide whether to buy or not. Very spot on. Just the level of details. And a wholesome package. Very frank with his opinions.
I like the clarity of the Pixel photos. As long as what I'm taking a photo of is well represented, I'm happy. There doesn't need to be a specific amount of blur, clarity, brightness, or darkness. Google's done a good job with some of the new features. I'm looking forward to the Motion Mode along with the better skin tone processing. Photography is an art and the desired look will be different to each person. What's ironic is when people talk about natural looking photos and they use PhotoShop on all their photos.
And that’s ok if the camera isn’t the reason you are buying a phone. But for some of us we want the best camera, we will never get a chance to retake a better picture from the past.
I have to agree. What's funny is when you see blind photo tests and a certain "king of cameras" NEVER wins or even comes close.... Because people love to say they want one thing but their eyes and brain want another. I suspect it's not even entirely just about that though, it's more about them saying they want whatever their pre-selected choice offers. Forget what actually looks better. Case in point the aforementioned "King of cameras" is taking very Pixel looking pictures with super heavy contrast and heavier color saturation. You know.... The very things they spent years saying they didn't want in a picture. Now it's better suddenly when their brand is doing it 🙄
@@Zeeangelofdeath if that's your concern that's exactly why you'd want a pixel 6! The sensor captures incredible amounts of data (more than the iphone 13) that you can very easily edit later to your liking. most smartphones don't let you do that to such a degree.
I'd rather have a camera that lets me play with more data in post-processing than a camera that gets what it thinks that I want every time.
@@S7ARBOY This. Also, so many people fail to look past the simple photo comparisons to the *rest* of the camera experience. Given unlimited time and patience, I can probably take a more technically impressive photo with (for example) Sony's latest Xperia than with the Pixel. But the Pixel (and now the iPhone) lets me take good photos without even trying - and even great photos with a minimum of effort. It's weird to say, but ... cameras are more than photos.
Yes! You can easily up the contrast in a phones inbuilt phone editor but there's no way of decreasing it in a way that looks natural
Got my Pixel 6 almost a week ago, I have loved it ever since! A lot of the complaints I have personally experienced and agree with, but it is one of the nicest smoothest and most enjoyable experiences I have ever had with a smartphone.
@Aman Bhardwaj press later down the line I might, but for now I'm still thoroughly enjoying it
You really are in a league of your own when it comes to reviews…. #Bestreviewer on TH-cam period!!!!👍🏼
Wow! That old Nexus wallpaper at 2:17 was a real hit of nostalgia...fantastic review as always Michael, I'm excited to see what Google can improve with software updates. My last Pixel was the 1st gen, and it still has that extra bit of "Google polish" all these years later. Hope the 6 sells well!
Finally the ultimate review has drop
@@naurapuspita5073 wtf
Stop spamming
Iv had my 6 pro for a day now. Ans all I can say is wow! Just wow! I use s21 ultra and iPhone 13 pro max. So 2 great phones. However the pixel is now my all time favourite. It's certainly smoother and faster than the other 2 and also takes better photos. Absolutely great to be back with Google! Well done Google it's been a few years but it's great to be back where I belong.
Woah! You know Marc Rebillet? I found him making improv music like two years ago on TH-cam. It’s crazy the spheres that TH-camrs are in. Small world.
THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏 for doing a review of the Pixel 6 and not just the Pro. I’ve noticed most of the tech channels I subscribe to chose to compare the Pixel 6 Pro to the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the base model was just a side note and quickly mentioned, but never examined properly. This is the review I have been looking for, and it was spectacular as usual. You definitely did the device justice. Mr. Mobile, you’re my hero. 😉😏
Quality review, definitely worth the wait! You'll hit 10mil subs in no time
I've been battling in my head to go with the 6 or the pro......this review makes the decision for me. I don't care for telephoto and 90hz is my sweet spot on phones that's why I have been on the pixel 4xl for so long...it has been my favorite device ever and it looks like the 6 will do what I need it to do and more....even with shooting videos and photos using Filmic. Great review.
Thank you for putting so much time and care into reviewing the regular Pixel 6, the non-Pro model! Great review, as always.
Excellent video as always Michael. I think this was the first truly earnest attempt at a real "Google Flagship". I personally haven't been this excited about a Google phone since the Nexus 5. Not to mention the value to cost ratio! For us here in the US this has to be the best value Android device available hands down.
This review was so good I didn't want it to end!!
I kept on watching it several times
Just seen that a certain MKBHD has 15 mil subscribers. As good as he is, it amazes me that this channel doesn't have far more subscribers than 1.1 mil. Mrmobile videos are slick and most importantly, completely unbiased toward android or ios.
I wasn't ready for Marc Rebillet in one of your videos :D great review and video, Michael

This has to be one of your best videos yet. I love how your look has evolved!
Oh yeah! Finally a review. I am so glad 6 pro has a separate review! Woooot
Hello Michael, its so refreshing to finally seeing a review for the Pixel 6. I pre ordered it and so looking forward to having in my hands very soon. Beautifully Made Content as well. Take Care!
Your reviews are top tier, as always. I unfortunately couldn't wait and bought the phone last night to get those free earbuds but I was still second guessing my decision to get the 6 over the 6Pro. This has assuaged me.
There might come a time where it's worth spending an extra $300 to get it all, but I'm thinking it's not this year. I'd rather get the good-value phone and maybe upgrade down the road when Google refines the new build
Upgrading to a Pixel 6 from a 3a and very excited!
2:17 Oh man, that wallpaper takes me back to the good days.
You did it, you actually put Eclair 2.1 Nexus Revamped Wallpaper on the Pixel 6. For that, I'm hitting that notification bell.
Awesome review - kept checking your twitter feed to see when you were going to post this. The 6 looks fantastic, and I'm very tempted now to purchase one.
Watched this on my Samsung S21 and just tonight on my carrier, via the app, I upgraded to the Pixel 6. The Samsung is decent but there's many features I missed from Pixel. I used to have a 4a 5g. I'll get my phone by mail tomorrow. Great review and I so look forward to my new Pixel 6.
Great review Michael!❤️
I dont watch anyone else's phone reviews, except for this guy's. I've been subscribed for awhile now, the way he presents is amazing, keep it up brother.
I am not gonna lie, this is the review I have been waiting for the most.
@MrMobile, sir, I've watched almost every review from all the big influencers on this phone. Yours is the first one on which I'm commenting. Excellently done. I appreciated the balance; you gave a nod to the hard work and effort Google clearly put into this phone. Finally! (Looking at you, Osterloh) You also called out the phone for its weaknesses in a fair way (the battery menu is atrocious, but I have yet to experience poor battery on my 6P). Very well done review. Looking forward to the Pro's review. #subscribed #notify
Pixel 6 is the first phone I have bought in a while, that I think I'm going to keep for years. It has a very "iPhone" sort of feel to it. Like, nothing spectacular but everything just works absolutely perfectly
How is it after 3 months?
Really? Not what I've been hearing.
@MBC They even fixed the horribly inaccurate inscreen fingerprint reader? How? That was apparently bad hardware, not a software issue.
Do u have any problem with it getting hot
Still going well? Just wondered as I've ordered one ☺️
Is no one talking about how he is just CHILLING WITH MARC REBILLET?!
I was MIND BLOWN!!!
Marc is a true piece of internet history, and an amazing musician
What a coincidence!!! Just searching for your channel keeping in mind why am I not getting your video notification on pixel 6 and then this just pop up !! GC
Same! Just opened TH-cam to look for his video and there it was...
As always the best review you can get on the internet! Congratulations Michael it is a pleasure to discover all this devices long side you.
2:17 that live nexus wallpaper though!
3:22 T H A N K you
For addressing these trivial yet necessary end-user complaints 😊
You never disappoint your videos are like movies🔥
Solid, consistent and subtle Star Trek easter egg drops my friend! I wonder if Google tried every possible way to trademark their own VISOR slogan or logo LOL!
Putting the phone up against a can of Boddingtons was a masterpiece, it was brewed originally near me.
This is hands down the best Pixel 6 review
This is the best review of this phone ever, and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for this kind of experience to be in folding phones, this delightful software and fun cameras, with reliable and swift software updates!
I have been following you sine 2015 you always do reviews from a user perspective and I revisit here more often - kudos and love from India
Man his reviews are becoming more rich quality nonetheless the solid information he points out in his every video is just too good. Keep up the good works.
I received the pixel 6 and I expected the camera to be way better, but maybe they need an upgrade? Everything else is fast and easy to pick up. I still have 14 days to return if i don't like it.
If I hadn't gone in on a foldable, I'd likely have gotten this as my next main phone. So many features I didn't know I wanted until I saw them. 😍
Same! I love my phone, but there's just something about the Pixel line that makes me almost disappointed in my Galaxy Flip...
OMG, to the casual photo with Marc aka Loop Daddy!!! As always, I love your reviews and get excited when they post.
While I couldn't wait for your review Michael and went and pre-ordered the P6 in Sorta Seafoam, I'm glad to hear your more extended use case validates a lot of what I'd heard from other channels. Appreciate your in depth review here as always - you are appreciated!
Can't wait for the next mrpixel video
Watching on my pixel 3a xl, debating on upgrading. The new update did update my current pixel with some things, like the wallpaper options and bigger toggles with color customization. Android 12 seems to affecting some apps in a bad way, hoping they're just bugs to work out. Just don't know if it's worth the upgrade yet, but I appreciate you reviewing the pixel 6.... instead of the 6 pro like everyone else is doing! If anyone has had experience with the 3a xl and the 6, I'm open to suggestions!
I'm also watching on pixel 3a XL, debating upgrading to pixel 6 or Pro because the pixel 3 family, including 3axl, will stop being supported in may of 2022.
Same here watching from a Pixel 3a and I must say I love my phone, the photos are amazing. I'm just not fully convinced Pixel 6 will be better. Is upgrading to pixel 5 a silly idea?
I just upgraded to it from the 3a XL. My initial takeaways:
Best improvements:
- Android 12 is super smooth on the 6, it was a bit slow on my 3a XL. My first flagship phone, and it's performance is outstanding
- 5g!
- Camera is better, and the magic eraser is truly amazing. Haven't used video yet
- Sturdy glass/metal body, my polycarbonate 3a warped a bit like many others
- Adaptive refresh up to 90 Hz (I'm told that's a good thing)
- Transferring data, pics and apps is super easy. Just use your USBC cable and follow prompts
A few things you will miss about the 3a XL:
- No headphone jack
- 3a is lighter. 6 is heavier
- Glass body is nice but get at case, I've heard you can crack it if it drops
- I really miss the rear fingerprint scanner, you will get used to the under screen scanner. Works pretty well
I still use a Pixel 3 and i have been waiting on a phone worth upgrading for, and the Pixel 6 Pro appears to be that phone. Great Review
This review is just the Pixel 6. Not even the Pro!
@@logan_parker yes i am aware
I am glad you are separating the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro reviews, unlike Marques. However, is it fair to compare the camera of a $599 phone to a $1,099 phone?
Addressed in the video. Conclusions survive the transition to 13 mini.
@@TheMrMobile 13 Mini still costs more though
Been seeing alot of ads on snapchat which peaked my interest so happy you've uploaded a review as you're my go to tech reviewer :)
Hey Michael! Thanks for having one of the few reviews on TH-cam that covered just the six instead of the six pro! Just ordered my Six and you confirmed that I made a good choice! Love your reviews, man! Love traveling the big city and out in the countryside when you review tech, even if you're talking about something I have no intention of buying!
Watching this in 4K 60fps on the 13 Pro Max was such an beautiful experience. That OG nexus wallpaper @ 2:19 really popped out
4:59 Gotta love an episode of “Frasier” 😂 Great review as always.
Is that the RV episode where they accidently go into Canada?
@@Willdo7474 “sure”….”sure” 😂😂 Yeh it could be haha.
@@jonathanweir289 That quote is an ongoing inside joke my wife and I have, "sure"
the 6 is just too big. after having the soft back of the pixel 5, I don't want a glossy, slick back or a 6.4" screen... guess i have to keep the 5 until the 7 hits and see if that one isn't massive
Such a breezy, smooth review... And I didn't expect it to be any different either. 👍👍
Loads of love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Would've loved to finish the entire video but when you said "Google" at 12:40 assistant kept activating on the same device I'm watching on lol. Great video nonetheless Mike!
hey Michael, it's 3 years of OS updates and 5 years of security patches! 🥳🥳🥳
Was waiting for the Geordi shoutout and as always, Mr Mobile did not disappoint!
Such a top-tier review as always. Having watched a number of reviews over the last few days, battery life has been described as average to sub-par by many. I've read comments though, that turning off 5g massively alleviates this issue. Would be cool if you could address this in your Pro review!
Thanks for the tip!
DAYM, hanging with funkmaster Marc Rebillet. Good to see!
You simply make the best reviews.
Thoughtful, all those small delightful details, and the perfect voice delivering accurate descriptions of a phone you have actually taken the right amount of time to review.
Thank you.
It is cohesive.
Just like the Pixels 6!
Google’s on the right track :)
Thanks for another great review, cousin of RDJ
So I’ve heard battery life mentioned in a couple reviews. Is it the expectation that the adaptive battery will improve this over time?
Yes it will
Reviewers are all over the map on battery life. Some are saying it's terrible, some saying it's really good, and everything in between. Have just had mine a couple days and doing initial downloads/install/setup/configuring so will have to see how it goes after I settle into more typical use. So far my sense it'll end up being "good but not great" for my usage.
I've been impressed with the battery life on my 6

Maybe because I keep checking my lock screen to try and decipher those random numbers but my 512 Pixel 6 Pro needs a charge at around

pm. I'm used to my Huawei P30 pro making it to bedtime with 40% battery. But the P30 did not have random numbers on the lock screen. Maybe the Pixel 6 pro is using processor power to generate codes that are important only to itself? For example:
09
34
What does it mean?????
@@John-nj5mc That always on eating through that battery 🤣🤣
7:35 imo the pixel shots looks 100% better. If someone would edit these they would try to bring down the highlights and up the shadows for more detail. But its personal opinion when I started editing I liked contrast images and with more shadows/highlights the typical rgb S curve like on the iphone.. But now im the opposite lol I think the more flatter raw and clean image looks better its less distracting and easier to look at. I can see they bring up the shadows and down the highlights which create a nice effect and also brings more information in the photo. Then u can edit alot but it shouldnt be to much contrast or to much saturation like the iphone have. I dont know I just think it looks very amateurish like a child would have have bumped up the highlights contrast and darken
Hey Michael, great review as always :) STAY MOBILE FRIENDS ;)
MKBHD and MrMobile's review of this phone was what I was waiting for. And you guys delivered. Thank you!
I usually like to keep a phone for as long as possible. I had a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium for 4 years before upgrading to my current OnePlus 7 Pro, which I've now had for 2 years, but the new Pixels look so good with all their features that I'm tempted to upgrade earlier than I expected. I'm really impressed with what Google is doing this year and amazing review as always.
Most of the features in the software was always on pixels. Just improved
I don’t know why your reviews are less viewed. They are meticulously made. I like how it differs from table top phone reviews. Keep them coming man.
so new pixels not gonna get upto 5 years major updates?
Hi... 👋 From the future here. It's going to happen really soon. Even better, 7 years of OS updates! 😂
@@jojoampah2722Dangit. You beat me to it. Lol.
Never buying a first from Google after being burnt before.. I'll wait a couple of models for them to sort out issues w/ tensor and hopefully they improve the speed of the camera
This man is just awesome when it comes to content writing.... ❤️❤️❤️
Praise well deserved ❤️😘😘
What is the price of pixel 6
Just received my Pixel 6 a few days ago, my main two gripes with it are that there is no built in Gallery, you're directed straight to Google Photos and that there's also no built in music player, you're stuck with either TH-cam music or Play Music, the latter of which is horrible for music stored locally and always seems to want to be connected to the internet to even play local music. I personally download all of my music, so that makes it extremely frustrating coming from a Galaxy S10+ where Samsung Music does a great job at organizing everything into albums and playlists. I find myself reaching back for my S10 just because everything just works.
I'm gonna give it a couple weeks, and if the Pixel doesn't amaze me I think I'm going to just go get the S21+.
I really felt like the pro was the good choice but after this video I’ve seen how great the standard edition is. Great review as always.
I got it about 3 days ago. Could not be more impressed. Especially the lighting controls. I have vision issues, and this blows my S-10 out of the water! No matter what I did, I could not look at my S-10 and actually read it in the dark for several minutes. My eyes have trouble adjusting, but with this it is like looking a Kindle at night!!! And it does it automatically with a little tweaking on the settings!! :) Wonderful. Great camera. The colors matching pictures also is very cool! And the price. I probably spent$1000 on my S-10 a couple of years ago.
Really disappointed about the battery life on this phone. It's the most important feature to me by far...
It is for most people. What does a super shiny phone get you when the battery life is just way too bad... and even if it had like 60W fast charging, this wouldn't solve anything.
How much screen on time are you getting?
Same here, I am a Pixel 2 XL user and have been waiting for years for Google to release a proper flagship phone. After seeing all reviews indicating an average battery life, I bought an iPhone 13 pro max just yesterday despite how much I hate IOS but mediocre battery life is a no go for me. It's called mobile phone for a reason, I shouldn't need to plug it every few hours! how good are all these futuristic super smart features of the Pixel if the phone is dead? Or am I supposed to be stressing out every time I am using my NEW phone that the
How much screen on time are you getting? I'm curious.
@@debo2189 The battery on your iPhone will be quickly degraded by the many BS updates Apple pushes. My 12 pro max started great and now has less than 90% max capacity after less than a year. I’m lucky to get 5 or 6 hours of sot.
I love that you’re watching Frasier in the pics at 6:04 :)
It indeed is a treat watching your review, Michael.
2:17 I really miss that live wallpaper. I own an iPhone and despite that it’s a great phone, I really get more excited with open source and android news.
Personally, I think this phone is probably the better of the two brands. Price wise to features. Yes it lacks a telephoto lens but I think people can live without this.
How. How are you not the most popular tech reviewer on TH-cam? You are on a different level, man! Keep up the great work!
