just the fact that the price point is followed up by the first bunch of trade offs and the resumee that the former king of smart phone photography is now on par with the iphone lets me to believe it's not the "flagship" it pretents to be...
Google isn’t trying to make money from selling you a phone, they’re trying to make money from collecting your data and selling ads. This is why Google created Android and is why it’s open source, they want to get their software in as many hands as possible. This is why they can sell you a phone for $600. Me personally I rather spend $1,000 to be as free as I can from having every single thing I do tracked and sold.
I'm getting the 6 Pro not for where it is right now but for where it will be a month, 1 year and 3 years from now. I trust Google to update and improve even the camera performance over time.
The section about fingerprint sensor is quite misleading. The pixel 6 series uses Optical fingerprint sensor, which requires light under your finger to work. Samsung Galaxy Series uses ultrasonic fingerprint sensor which does not require light under the finger, which makes it faster.
@@selw0nk in theory. In reality... I just want to remind you when a simple screen protector was able render this scanner useless and just unlocks every time.
But! Google could've used touch screen to detect if there's a finger on the phone and then fire up the display automatically Without needing to press the power key This is something they could implement with software
@@DMB088 I don't really care for the rear-mounted fingerprint scanners lol. I often have my phone laying on a desk or table, and having to pick it up just to scan my fingerprint and then sit it back down is kinda annoying. Just personal preference, I guess.
Those camera features (Magic Eraser and motion blur) are very underrated. Tensor is just beginning to flex its muscle. This year's Pixel line wasn't a full evolution in my opinion. Excited to see what Google comes up in the next few years.
I’m going to skip the pixel this year. iPhone and Samsung is overall better in the camera and video department. But excited to see how they improve in the next years with their own sensor
I went for the regular 6 over the pro because I hate curved screens the pro would be a perfect phone for me if it had the same flat screen as the pixel 6
I love the camera bar. Looks good, keeps the back glass from getting scratched, doesn't rock on tables. Perfect. Disappointed at the fingerprint sensor. Speech enhancement was AMAZING! I'm shocked you weren't impressed, it reduced background noise by like 85%
7:48 The translation between Chinese and Korean looks good to me? I am not sure what you mean by not understanding the translation. (Both means "what should we eat tonight?")
I have to agree with you. I lost most of my hearing a little over a year ago which requires me to wear hearing aids, and I could tell the difference. I was actually incredibly impressed. The background noise was greatly reduced and her voice became far more clear. Honestly considering the thousands of dollars I spent on my aides, I'm a pretty disappointed with them now. Lol
Love the reviews from Engadget, always dare to reveal the good sides and the bad sides, too! About this Pixel, I want to say WOW, I love the eraser on photos function, now friends and I can go places and take pictures, and pretend we’re the only tourists LOL
I dont understand why people care about the color of phone. You'll never see it under a cover. And if you have a $1,000 fragile device that you can drop and you're not protecting it in a drop case then you're crazy.
Great review! I've seen way too many this week that dismiss the phone because it couldn't quite measure up to the iPhone in one very specific photo test. Thank you for covering the big picture here for all of us non-professional photographers.
I’m shocked at how every reviewer has been all over the place with the reviews… everyone else is saying magic eraser was the best feature and always worked and face unblur never worked, polar opposite here. Then others said pixel over saturated the colors, you say iPhone does. I swear to Christ, these reviews are pointless lol. Just gotta get it and see I guess.
It is frustrating, isn’t it? I chalk it up to the fact that no matter what model/OS you go with, all phones are extremely capable nowadays and share essentially all the same features. There used to be far less parity in the smartphone market, but even budget phones are amazing now.
I gotta say, those things are hit or miss for sure re eraser. In some cases the eraser didn't work at all lol. Over time I've found that when Google detects and suggests things to erase, it's MUCH better at replacing the background. If you're erasing something yourself by drawing over something, that's when the replaced backgrounds can be iffy. As for saturation and face unblur and other things... I spoke with some reviewers before the embargo lifted and it looks like some people had older software and weren't even seeing Motion Mode features. It *could* be a software update issue, or it could just be that we have different experiences and opinions. I wish I had more time in this video to go deeper into every little thing but with the Pixel 6 (and anything software-heavy) there tends to be so much to cover, and so much can change with an OTA update. It makes reviewing anything extra difficult. But I hope you at least got some good info out of this!
@@edsc86 our written review has the results for both models! I had to shoot this video before I could complete both tests, apologies but we were in a serious time crunch =(
Been life long iphone user and just got the pixel 6. ITS AMAZING. Love it in every aspect and way. Had all the iphone till iphone 13. Now fully pixel lover. All my family use iphone and I just love the change. Love the material look and love the fact it's not PERFECT. We live in a world where we want things to be spot on and always working and always doing what we ask. That seeking has made us weak. It's made us complaisant and weak minded. Pixel 6 is not perfect but I don't want it to be. I love the pixel character and more so it's just fun and simple. It's amazing price and love the screen and most of all love google 12.
@Engadget You can log in using fingerprint with the screen turned off. You just have to toggle the 'always on' setting during set-up or later through settings.
Absolutely killer review. I'm a HUGE pixel follower. The pixel 1 was incredible, 2 was eh, 3xl was the worst one I used and my 4a had a defective front facing camera. I'm so excited to get my 6 pro in the mail soon. A return to form is exactly what Google needed to produce. And I'm happy they delivered. Thanks again for the awesome review!
I believe Face Unblur is a Tensor exclusive. Magic Eraser can be added in future software updates for older Pixels if Samsung has this feature already but still in beta. Face Unblur is from Tensor's A.I.
The video clip of the reviewer tapping on the fingerprint sensor was quite hilarious and very misleading. Even the ultrasonic fingerprint readers wouldn't respond to that touch.
@@KrisitanFilip I do as well and it certainly does not. Reviewer barely covered even just the tip of her finger. S21 Ultra does unlock that fast but when you fully cover the sensor.
@@jipizzle ok, maybe i wasn't watching for how the reviewer pressed the sensor, but i literally just press a bit more firmly approximately where i know the sensor is and it unlocks that fast, literally almost a tap. I mean, the fingerprint scanner on s21 has been compared to the speed of face Id on iPhone before. Still eyeing the pixel 6 tho
If you watch other Pixel 6 reviews, you'll find that their Pixel 6 photos show better low-light performance than the iPhone 13. It just depends on the shot and other factors. They're both quite comparable.
Absolutely. I'm not referring to the original commenter but people are soooo picky over tinkering around the edges between phones. I've got a pixel 3 and ordered the pixel 6 as it's going to be a major upgrade for me and I know I'm going to be very pleased with it. Considered the 6 pro but I'm not a major gamer (if I was I'm sure there are gaming machines to satisfy that need) and if I want to zoom in I'll move closer!!
@Aceman UWB is used for precise device tracking like tracking tag from Apple and better connection IoT means internet of things. There many more use of UWB.
On Pixel phones it never will be any useful if they don't even include it on the Pixel 6 but only the Pro... Apple did a MUCH better job here by including the hardware already with the iPhone 11 so by the time it becomes useful (with AirTag etc.) tens of millions of people already have their phone be ready for it.
glad I didnt hesitate to pre-order this, the Pixel 6 is the Pixel we've been asking for these past few years! Great job Google and great job on the content Engadget!
Mrwhostheboss review actually made me cancel my pre order . Video is still terrible and selfie camera isn't great either. I'm shocked because I was expecting it to be top level
Thank you, Cherlynn Low for this in-depth and informative video. I concur with your observations about the Pixel six's superb return to form and that its greatest strengths lie in Smart software and hardware improvements to the camera.
08:00 Speaking about Translation, obviously Google uses English as an intermediate translation language. That is, if I want to translate French to Japanese, it seems that Google Translate does not directly translate French into Japanese, but like French -> English -> Japanese. The reason why I think so is that once I translated a French phrase that contained the French verb "rock" as in "rocking the boat". In English, that verb rock happens to have the same spelling as the noun rock (stone), but in French, the verb was completely different from the French word for rock (stone). The Japanese translation of that French was showing rock (stone). Interestingly, Google Translate seems to translate Korean to Japanese directly. That is, when the Korean to English translation was completely wrong, it showed the correct Japanese translation.
@UCqyVS7HilMqCIx-Ddjbp-Sg I don't get it. If they use a language-agnostic representation, how did the system get the concept of rock (stone) from the French verb "bercer" (to cradle; to rock), which has no connection whatsoever with the French noun "roche" (rock)? The "rock" (verb) and the "rock" (noun) look the same, but conceptually they are completely different. Even their part-of-speech is different.
I switched from a Pixel 2 XL to a OnePlus 7T because at launch it was $300 cheaper while keeping the features I wanted in a flagship (ex: top-notch processor, large 90 Hz display, great UI) while making compromises I could live with (ex: mediocre camera), making the 7T a great "flagship killer." Now I plan to switch back to Pixel 6 for a similar reason: flagship-level quality with some compromises (smaller 90 Hz display vs. larger 120 Hz display, lower optical zoom) at a value-friendly $600 price point. With OnePlus evolving its main line from "flagship killer" into a legitimate flagship, it's fascinating to see Google turn around with a "flagship killer" of its own in the Pixel 6.
This is a great review she hit every feature with the phone. From the fingerprint sensor and it's uses to in depth about the tensor chip and it's differences between it and snapdragon. This took a lot of work so thank you for a great review.
Hi, I really enjoyed your in depth take on the features present within the new pixel phones. However, it kind of felt like the majority of the video was centered on the features of the Pixel 6 pro, rather than giving both phones equal exposure.
This was the most complete review of seen yet for the pixel 6. But it still didn't give any clue as to how good it is for listening to music through wired or wireless headphones. It's as if people don't listen to music on their phones anymore, which I know for a fact they do. Put it this way. More people will listen to music on their phones today than will try to use motion blur camera effects. Starting to think that Google told the reviewers not to look at this at all.
I wish they had better colour options for the Pixel 6 Pro. The green Pixel 6 looks great, but the only option for the bigger fella is a kinda pale yellow. I miss the crazy colours like the Pixel XL's "Really Blue". I'm one of those thrill-seeking daredevils who doesn't use a case on my phone so I appreciate not just a slick design but fun colours. But yeah, all the other reasons have me sold on this phone regardless.
the official excuse is that phones are getting more complex on the inside behind the rear panel and its works better to move the fingerprint sensor to the front
@@CherlynnLow you deserve it mam, good choice of words and postive criticism are rare nowadays, lots just rant or their tones are just so negative. Thank you 👍
Regarding your face unblur test. Since you're testing it in daylight, I think the shutter will be fast enough that it doesn't actually need to do the unblurring. Did you test this indoors?
I agree, I had a whole section written on how this was more abt fast shutter speed lol. The Face Unblur pics had a logo watermarked in the thumbnail to show me it was applied, so that's how I know it worked~ It's not something you can activate or disable and really only showed up in those shots where I deliberately had someone move quickly in front of me. In my other shots with more challenging light, they still worked! Uh barring one time I shot super fast skaters zooming past me while insane disco lights dance around the park... They didn't work then, but i also didn't have the latest camera software at that time =(
If this is a review....then it's a big oof. This sounds more like a first impressions video, especially with some very misleading things being said about some of the pretty important aspects of the phone, like the fingerprint sensor comparison for one.
It's definitely not a long term review. But for stuff like that to be picked up so quickly, it already says a lot. For what it is, the reviewer is coming as someone who's used to using a in-display FP reader, rather than someone who's new to it.
It's a review that came out before anyone else had done anything other than an unboxing and a first impressions take. It's somewhere between the latter and a full review. So there's that. Good on you for getting it out there before most anyone else.
Lots of these AI software features are legitimately incredible, but I can’t help but feel creeped out by them, too. Each year it feels like google/android gets more & more invasive. I know they’re trying harder than ever to prove this stuff doesn’t work by effectively looking over our shoulders, but I just don’t buy that. Tech companies all say they aren’t interested in our personal info, but there have simply been too many headlines detailing the precise opposite for me to take their word on this issue.
Ok, so what about the battery? You do mention that the 6 Pro takes forever to die ..but that's not super precise. And what about the Pixel 6? Screen-on-time? How many hours of video?
Right. I was waiting for the battery tests part of the video and once she got to it, she only covered the pro, which is not even the one I'm planning on getting
Not a complaint but just a nit-pick suggestion. If you are going to use an XLR microphone as a visual prop, please plug an XLR cord into the back and don't just leave the mic sitting there with it's XLR pins hanging out for everyone to see. This is meant mostly in humor and not a serious criticism but seriously, lol, please don't do this 😀.
Pixel 6 pro also has a wider angle and better front facing camera than the regular Pixel 6. I don't know why reviewers keep missing this important distinction
This video feel like it was rushed, there is no constructive feedback on anything, the reviewer just throws her opinion one after the other makes it hard for me to follow whether she is for or against it.
A pretty big non issue on a screen size that small. This stuff is noticeable on computer screens but such a high resolution on a phone screen is useless.
So this reviewer had the Pixel 6 for a week and couldn’t figure out how to properly setup and work the fingerprint sensor? This reviewer shows one of the reason Google did the embargo.
03:19 I had expected a lot more detailed speaker review than that, but what is she talking about? I could not understand it so I turned on the caption. It said "steve aoki and julain's size equal in the darkness"? What is that?

I appreciate this!
yesssssss, too many videos about the damn camera

I went for the regular 6 over the pro because I hate curved screens the pro would be a perfect phone for me if it had the same flat screen as the pixel 6
For the life of me I don't understand why they keep doing this to us. I really want a top tier android phone with a flat sceen again.
Totally agree curved screen protectors are always finicky
Curved screens hate you too
Curved or flat doesn't really bother me. I had a Galaxy S8 and now a Pixel 4 XL and neither bother me.
When did $600 become a very affordable phone price
4 years ago when apple launched a 1000 dollar phone.
Welcome to modern times lol
I love the camera bar. Looks good, keeps the back glass from getting scratched, doesn't rock on tables. Perfect.
Disappointed at the fingerprint sensor.
Speech enhancement was AMAZING! I'm shocked you weren't impressed, it reduced background noise by like 85%
That awkward moment when your phone responds to hey Google from a video you're watching on the same phone
I think that's how skynet starts. Your smartphone activates itself and commands itself to kill.
I had to stop and look at my speaker when I recorded that line lol
7:48 The translation between Chinese and Korean looks good to me? I am not sure what you mean by not understanding the translation. (Both means "what should we eat tonight?")
Mmm so we added the footage that showed it working but for most of the night there were lots of mistakes lol

Now, I can't stop hearing that too 😶
Yeah I agree with Google Assistant too no fault there. 🙃
I switched from a Pixel 2 XL to a OnePlus 7T because at launch it was $300 cheaper while keeping the features I wanted in a flagship (ex: top-notch processor, large 90 Hz display, great UI) while making compromises I could live with (ex: mediocre camera), making the 7T a great "flagship killer."
Now I plan to switch back to Pixel 6 for a similar reason: flagship-level quality with some compromises (smaller 90 Hz display vs. larger 120 Hz display, lower optical zoom) at a value-friendly $600 price point. With OnePlus evolving its main line from "flagship killer" into a legitimate flagship, it's fascinating to see Google turn around with a "flagship killer" of its own in the Pixel 6.
How relevant is to compare phone weight? I never in my life heard someone complain about their phone weight.
when you're on the track, you need it to be as light as possible. They should go carbon fiber.
@@remyd8767 Also when you go to space. Bringing edge cases doesn't make it more relevant.
Bruh she has to be weak sauce and needs to hit the gym more often. Lmao
This is a great review she hit every feature with the phone. From the fingerprint sensor and it's uses to in depth about the tensor chip and it's differences between it and snapdragon. This took a lot of work so thank you for a great review.
Kinda concerned about the fingerprint sensor tbh.
You just have to save multiple fingerprints and put phone to display always on. Or atleast thats what i seen on other videos
Looking forward to the future of Google phones
Hi, I really enjoyed your in depth take on the features present within the new pixel phones. However, it kind of felt like the majority of the video was centered on the features of the Pixel 6 pro, rather than giving both phones equal exposure.
This was the most complete review of seen yet for the pixel 6. But it still didn't give any clue as to how good it is for listening to music through wired or wireless headphones. It's as if people don't listen to music on their phones anymore, which I know for a fact they do. Put it this way. More people will listen to music on their phones today than will try to use motion blur camera effects. Starting to think that Google told the reviewers not to look at this at all.
I'm so sorry but you are wrong about the photos as well. Pixel is outdoing the iPhone in photos
I wish they had better colour options for the Pixel 6 Pro. The green Pixel 6 looks great, but the only option for the bigger fella is a kinda pale yellow. I miss the crazy colours like the Pixel XL's "Really Blue". I'm one of those thrill-seeking daredevils who doesn't use a case on my phone so I appreciate not just a slick design but fun colours.
But yeah, all the other reasons have me sold on this phone regardless.
You sound like you talk in questions sometimes :)
Why can't they just keep the normal fingerprint sensor on the back? 😩
the official excuse is that phones are getting more complex on the inside behind the rear panel and its works better to move the fingerprint sensor to the front
Why keep complaining about it? It’s done! Either accept it or don’t buy the Pixel 6.
I dislike the finger sensor on back and welcome the front one. On the desk, I don't have to pick up the phone. Just touch it. Yay!
this is the android phon ei been wanting for so long, i honestly see many iphone users like me switching ASAP.
Why are you switching? Software, hardware or both?
Great review, very pleasant to watch even the negatives were mentioned without the need to rant or feel heavy. 👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟
Thank you for taking the time to leave a kind comment!
@@CherlynnLow you deserve it mam, good choice of words and postive criticism are rare nowadays, lots just rant or their tones are just so negative. Thank you 👍
Regarding your face unblur test. Since you're testing it in daylight, I think the shutter will be fast enough that it doesn't actually need to do the unblurring. Did you test this indoors?
I agree, I had a whole section written on how this was more abt fast shutter speed lol. The Face Unblur pics had a logo watermarked in the thumbnail to show me it was applied, so that's how I know it worked~ It's not something you can activate or disable and really only showed up in those shots where I deliberately had someone move quickly in front of me.
In my other shots with more challenging light, they still worked! Uh barring one time I shot super fast skaters zooming past me while insane disco lights dance around the park... They didn't work then, but i also didn't have the latest camera software at that time =(
If this is a review....then it's a big oof. This sounds more like a first impressions video, especially with some very misleading things being said about some of the pretty important aspects of the phone, like the fingerprint sensor comparison for one.
Agreed. Specs rundown and basic features impressions.
It's definitely not a long term review. But for stuff like that to be picked up so quickly, it already says a lot. For what it is, the reviewer is coming as someone who's used to using a in-display FP reader, rather than someone who's new to it.
It's a review that came out before anyone else had done anything other than an unboxing and a first impressions take. It's somewhere between the latter and a full review. So there's that. Good on you for getting it out there before most anyone else.
Avoid reading the NY Times review then.. it will infuriate you.
And I'm stuck waiting until Dec 16th for my preorder....
I'm confused, other reviewers are saying the battery is pretty terrible on the new Pixels
Lots of these AI software features are legitimately incredible, but I can’t help but feel creeped out by them, too. Each year it feels like google/android gets more & more invasive. I know they’re trying harder than ever to prove this stuff doesn’t work by effectively looking over our shoulders, but I just don’t buy that. Tech companies all say they aren’t interested in our personal info, but there have simply been too many headlines detailing the precise opposite for me to take their word on this issue.
The cameras bar looks like a PUBG helmet visor :)
I am upgrading from a Samsung s5 so the Pixel 6 will be an a nice jump in quality for me. :)
That’s a very big jump. I think you will be blown away 👍
Ok, so what about the battery? You do mention that the 6 Pro takes forever to die ..but that's not super precise.
And what about the Pixel 6? Screen-on-time? How many hours of video?
Right. I was waiting for the battery tests part of the video and once she got to it, she only covered the pro, which is not even the one I'm planning on getting
@@17RedKnight it is a bit incomplete. Good thing there are tons of reviews it there
Not a complaint but just a nit-pick suggestion. If you are going to use an XLR microphone as a visual prop, please plug an XLR cord into the back and don't just leave the mic sitting there with it's XLR pins hanging out for everyone to see.
This is meant mostly in humor and not a serious criticism but seriously, lol, please don't do this 😀.
Your voice text that was showing during your demo was hilarious.
Fingerprint scanner is not a 2 step process. If you are going to review a phone, you should invest more time understanding it
Pixel 6 pro also has a wider angle and better front facing camera than the regular Pixel 6. I don't know why reviewers keep missing this important distinction
You also lose UWB on the standard Pixel 6. Perhaps not a big deal but is a difference.
This is the best overall review I've seen so far. 👍🏿
Wow... This review has straight misinformation in it. She obviously didn't spend more than a few hours using the phone.
turn always on display ON then the fingerprint sensor works all the time
This video feel like it was rushed, there is no constructive feedback on anything, the reviewer just throws her opinion one after the other makes it hard for me to follow whether she is for or against it.
I can hear a big difference with Speech enhancement on. I was raised in Jersey City so it was cool to see home in these pics!
Love this video. I just recently purchased Pixel 6 and I think it's a great phone
just casually leaves out the fact that the more expensive phone has a 1440p screen over 1080
And the bigger battery.
A pretty big non issue on a screen size that small. This stuff is noticeable on computer screens but such a high resolution on a phone screen is useless.
The "hey Google" stopped my video and started my Google assistant on my phone 😂
You need to train your assistant more! mine only triggers from my voice.
So this reviewer had the Pixel 6 for a week and couldn’t figure out how to properly setup and work the fingerprint sensor? This reviewer shows one of the reason Google did the embargo.
Good review, unlike most reviewers who just concentrate on the camera.
Samsung made the tensor right? So how's it compare to their own stuff or is it actually an exynos and they're claiming it differently
03:19 I had expected a lot more detailed speaker review than that, but what is she talking about? I could not understand it so I turned on the caption. It said "steve aoki and julain's size equal in the darkness"? What is that?
AOD makes unlocking a one step process.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Yup pre ordered the coral pixel 6. Selling my phantom white S21. Can't wait
Didn't mentioned that there is a RAM capacity difference between the two models.
i wish google would officially sell their phones here in Malaysia.
Nice review team .. good to see you guys reviewing so early
Top notch review. Well done.
I have the feeling, the next Galaxy note with One Ui4 and Android 12 will be way more functional 🤔
Man that is a massive phone... not digging it.
Is there any delay in real-time translation of subtitles? Is the delay acceptable? Thank you
