- We hear a lot about "affordable" smartphones, but at these prices, they really aren't for a lot of people. The phone I propose today is ACTUALLY affordable and offers a phenomenal value proposition. It's certainly not perfect and has its flaws, but for sub-$200 or sub-£150, I can't see any other phone beating this one overall. This is the Google Pixel 6 Pro in 2024.

i find phones with flat sides really uncomfortable to hold
Massively agree
As they should, they aren't ergonomic at all but Apple started it and everyone just followed.
@@KhizarKhan2001 That why we now seeing flat screen panels but with curved sides on several Chinese flagship phones.
But nevertheless, I still find Sony's flat sides to be the best implementation yet.
Same , without a phone case my phone feels horrible to hold 😢
thats because they are
The point to be noted is Pixels are not good in tropical countries like India and Southern Asia because Tensor chips gets hot asf 🥵
As a Indian thats the only thing that's keeping me from buying a Pixel.
I'm in India and using the Pixel 7a for quite sometime, and it has never gotten hot on me. I do use my phone heavily aside gaming(which I do on my laptop anyways), and it has gotten slightly warm at best :) Tensor G1 sure had overheating problems but G2 and later its pretty damn good
@@rohanajay As a fellow Indian, Google needs to up their game in India but what I truly want is Sony Xperia making a comeback... Those phones are Godly.
@n8blankTime to see if that rumored 2025 'big' Xperia change pans out, if sony screwed up next yr it'll likely become a japan exclusive
@keshanwaidyanayake2056 Sony EU TH-cam channel is pretty active, they even reply the comments I requested them to make a comeback in India (idk if it's significant) & they replied that they will take that into consideration. The surprising part was the amount of Indians who commented the same & Sony replying to them too. I am glad to find out lots of Xperia fans still exist wating for it's comeback.
The best selling point of the Pixel 6 Pro is that the visor looks way cooler than the 7, 8, and 9 series
Yes black visor best.
Yeah, especially if you get the sorta sunny or white, it contrasts even more.
Yeah, I always loved that RoboCop aesthetic!
I had a pixel 6 pro for a few months before I dropped it and smashed it too many times and it broke. It was amazing, the camera is incredible and battery life held up well enough over the years - just don't break the screen, a replacement is more than the value of the phone.
Yo, happened to me too. Dropped mine and spent a hundred bucks replacing the screen. Even after that, things like the fingerprint sensor can get really unreliable sometimes. Gotta say, it's the first phone that ever gave me such a headache.
1:53 pixel devices are good even if you're anti-google, they're generally the easiest devices to unlock the bootloader for, flash a custom rom or even compile one from source.
The Pixel range actually gives you a lot for the money in terms of camera, performance and build quality but I can’t imagine the battery still holding up will after all this years
*Performance 🤣🤣
I just had a battery replaced with authentic Google parts for 49 bucks. Steal and good as new.
@@insomniac8016 some people need the heat that thing generates this winter.
I'm on a Pixel 6a (it turns 2 years old in 3 weeks) and the battery is still absolutely brilliant. It's not really noticeably degraded but I've used all the protective features built in
@@petrolpoodlemy battery on my pixel 6a was awful since day one, barely making half a day
If you're not afraid of custom roms, the Xperia 5 II is an incredible deal
120Hz oled screen, more than good enough performance, sdcard slot, heaphone jack, compact size, 3 very usable cameras.
My older brother uses one I've repaired for him daily
Actually other sony phones like the IV series have also dropped down in price quite a bit
I want to buy 5 iii byt afraid of the green line I have seen on some people's posts
@@SuperSanic.. I'd go for it, if your 5 III has survived 5 years without the display killing itself then it's probably fine.
I've use 5 II and 1 V, sony phones are fire. 5 III might overheat though when playing games or recording 4k for a long time, 888 and 8gen1 overheat
@@Jbrimbelibap doesn't help that Sony didn't include any advanced cooling mechanisms for such hot chips... i had 1 iii and yeah, it was easy to burn your hands
He he, I was scares at first because I thought you were repairing your brother's phone daily 😅 I am just waking up.
@ReinoldFZ I'm glad I'm not doing that 😂
The whole Pixel 6 line seems to be hitting a absolute sweet spot. I recently picked up a Pixel 6a in great condition for 70€. An absolute steal. I also have seen some regular Pixel 6 for around 130 - 150 ish - at least before Google's announcement that they will extend support for theses devices!
here I am, rocking a $150 OnePlus 9R
SD870 is more than amazing for daily tasks, love this thing
Good choice!
Yeah the Oneplus R phones have been the true flagship killers in recent years.
Buy Poco x6 pro for $200 and it's twice the power and years of usage
@@koma7778naa. The problem with xiaomi ends up always being miui and this is coming from someone who's current devices are Mi 11x & pad 6. (both on sd870). Xiaomi will ruin the experience eventually for older devices especially since miui13 i think.
I still remember with poco f1 when i looked forward to genuine updates. Now i am scared of the broken updates
@WiseGuy02 it's not the hardware, but the apps that the CCP can warrant siphoning data from.
Also, Pixel Phones have a MASSIVE advantage of Custom ROM & such modding support. Also If you want privacy, GrapheneOS is the most secure OS & it's not even close. It is only available on Pixel 4 & above so you can have the most Secure Phone if you Get a Pixel 6 Pro & do the flashing.
I love how your channel reviews high quality phones that many of us nerds will actually consider buying/recommending due to the cost of living, not just the phones we wish we could afford
Thank you so much for this
I appreciate your different take on the phone market with your reviews on phones we can buy 2nd hand.
I disagree. I had a 6 pro and I hated it. So buggy, bugs that never got fixed, and the main camera missed focus 40% of the time. Everything oversharpened. The 4x telephoto camera was the only thing I truly liked.
That's fair enough man. But yeah I've used the 6 and 6 Pro heaps as have a few friends of mine and have had basically no issues. Is what it is
I think the 7 pro is a much better buy and it's not even that much more money loads around 250 mark@@theryanthomas
Didn't thought this was about the Pixel 6 Pro.
But I agree,old flagship is way better than budget/midrange phones,last year I got a refurbshied LG V60 with litte use on a markplace in my country and is the best deal I got in some time.
I need to look at the V60 for sure
@@theryanthomas
Good luck with that
Tbh I never thought I would find one since this never was released in my country even thought we are the ones the got the best version of the LG Velvet in 2020.
But at least it the V60 or some midrange from Samsung/Motorola/Xiaomi,glad I made the best choice.
Makes me miss the Nexus days, you got alot for 299
I don't get the hate for curved edges either. I'd rather have a seamless edge display than the sharp edges you can feel on flat-edge displays. In regard to the fingerprint sensor, it works flawlessy for me.
I like flat displays just because they are easier to put a screen-protector on, and don't really shatter that easily when dropped. Though I do like curved backs way more than the flat ones, it just feels way better in the hand
Still rocking and loving my Pixel 4a 5g and love it - even as a big-time tech-enthusiast - I actually WANT to spend less time on my phone so being somehow "limited" is acutally a plus for me - apart from the fact that the Pixel 4a 5g still does everything I need it to do for me (which is just basically watching too much youtube :D )
bought it earlier this year for 87€ and love this thing :)
Wow, £87 is crazy cheap for such a good phone.
Pixel 7 Pro (Brand New) with 512GB of storage been sitting on Woot for $399 the past couple of months now. 🤔
Pretty decent but that's double the 6 Pro in cost
But it's not double the performance @@Catalanskrr
@@Catalanskrrthe 7p is essentially the 6p with face unlock
@@Catalanskrr Sure, but it's not double the value. So my point still stands. The 7 Pro is a phenomenal phone. It's better than the 6 Pro in many ways. But at $400 instead of $200 you're comparing apples and oranges here
@@theryanthomas But isn't 400 for brand new?
I think we should appreciate more the used flagship phone, for the price of a new budget phone/mid range, you get something is high quality, good performance and still do the job done despite of it is a few years old
Hope you reach 100k by new year, good content
Had one, it was almost perfect, swapped it for an S22 only because of the network issue and the S22 was supposed to get one extra year of OS update, but now I am regretting it so so much, one because Google will give it 2 more OS updates beating the S22 and the software experience in S22 is quite bittersweet, especially a week before every monthly update the phone becomes almost unusable with unexplained lags
The S22 series was the weak link in the S series timeline from recent releases. S23 ultra looked the same but usability was 10x better, if you've liked the Samsung experience then I would recommend going for a s24 ultra once the s25 series comes out. The S24s are guaranteed 7 years of OS updates so you're ok on that front.
I have a Pixel 6 Pro. I didn't even notice any overheating and battery issues (i live in Germany) until i went back to China last summer, where i could barely get more than 3 hours of light use when outside temperatures were higher than 35 degrees. It also felt like the phone was cooking itself when using light apps like navigation software. Its great if you live in a colder climate, but if you live anywhere warm DO NOT buy this phone lol.
Got mine from Amazon a 2 months ago, it is just beautiful, great camera, amazing system and optimization, haptics and even the battery (even tho is not new), I found out today about getting 2 more years of OS updates and it just made it even better, It will become my secondary phone when I get a pixel 10 pro xl (probably)
This chip actually kept up with the SD chip at the time. Flagships were still being launched with the SD 888 which benchmarks almost exactly the same
Definitely not true
It couldn't even complete with mediatek chips forget sd
great pick, i bought the base 6 last year and it's kicking up well. your analysis of the key criteria is spot on imo
Agree, but actually I'd say the Pixel 7. Newer SOC, probably newer battery and I prefer flat sides (and slightly smaller). After that, I'd say the P6 Pro indeed is very good
There are tons of options for big, cheap phones. No one is making a good
@@yomommaahotoo264Read my comment properly. There are no good SMALL phones being made anymore.
Yes and no. I tried to find a big screen phone (that's preferably light too, and yes, it's possible) for my grandma, since vision is a bit impaired, but there are very few or actually ZERO options. Well some foldables maybe. I guess some basic physics come to play also so surely it's hard to make it all work, or impossible, for example comfortably holding a wide area device on one hand when using it for calls on your ear (not that it needs to be done for example if you have earbuds). But I certainly know there could be a lot more options that work nicely. Small ones too. I'd personally perhaps even go with a very small phone where you could sturdily attach a keyboard, but I won't dream of that (especially if I'd also want a kick-ass camera), since it probably won't come to existance.
Here's just a proof and inspiration (check the video) for how there could be extra light phones, you might not need small size display anymore if it's wide but super thin. You could have the device separately somewhere where it doesn't annoy, and then just use the screen (plus maybe some other parts if you want) on your hand :D th-cam.com/video/zeedKV7zIiU/w-d-xo.html
I’ve never had any issues with the fingerprint sensor on the 6 series. This complaint was overblown by social media
Still think they should've named it the pixel sixel.
This is why we put you off the marketing team...
@@orangeyellow-me1pz 😆
😂😂😂😂@@orangeyellow-me1pz
I bought my pixel 6 Pro a couple of years ago brand new from an online marketplace here in Australia, and I love it. I use the adaptive charging feature overnight which charges the battery slowly until I wake up, so I think that will lengthen the battery life quite a fair bit. I love the cameras, and I get a full day's use out of it everyday being a light to medium user.
I can share this sentiment. I tried to convince my wife to upgrade to Pixel 9. Nope, she wants to keep her Pixel 6. And suddenly Google extended software support for another 2 years. She was overjoyed! She doesn't need a new phone. Pixel 6 took exceptionally good photos she's very happy with
Yeah older higher end phones are generally just better compared to current mid tier phones.
But I think the biggest issue with pixel isn't even the performance, heat or the modem, it's the availability. It's sold in way too few countries, in the first few gens it was understandable but it's at 9th gen now. A Pixel would be pretty much the perfect phone for me, I don't need some crazy high performance and they are pretty easy to throw a custom rom at, but it's just not sold where I am.
Beyond the modem, the Tensor G1 was actually pretty powerful in its time. The G1 benches right around the 8 gen 1 for CPU performance, but few remember that, in bursts, the 2021 G1's GPU was more performant in benchmarks than Qualcomm's 2022 GPU (the 8 Gen 1). Google claimed that burst-y performance was more relevant for daily usage and then ended that trend with the first Tensor.
Not sure what you're smoking dude, but hell nah. G1 was slower than snap888+ by 20% single core and 30% multicore... so, was no where near the performance of 8 gen 1. Mali-G78 MP20 (G1's gpu) was similar in performance to adreno 660 (snapdragon 888's gpu). I owned pixel 6 pro and motorola edge 30 fusion, at the same time, so got tons of test screenshots to confirm it.
@@WrongButtonWB The Geekbench 6 aggregate scores for the 8gen1 GS22 CPU 1438/3449 GPU 5498/5080.
For the Pixel 6 they are CPU 1377/3173 GPU 6939/6431.
I have personally seen much higher scores, but the aggregate score is a better representation.
I would love to see how the pixel 4a holds up today. It was such a great device and I loved mine so much
I would say that a lot of refurbished phones are worth taking a look at, my mother bought a Galaxy S10+ for 130 Euros here in Denmark upon my recommendation. She is extremely happy with her purchase. If you can find a One Plus 7 Pro or Google Pixel 6 Pro you also have a decent phone by today´s standards.
Hello Ryan, I want to share my experience for having the pixel 6 on March 2023. Before using the pixel I had the lower midrange phones from Samsung, like the Galaxy A22 and A30s. I had been a huge fan of pixel phones since the 2016 first pixel, I want to experience the a pixel for the first time and due to the limited budget I had to get the pixel 6 used. I want to tell you that this phone is so good that I'm considering getting the newer pixel 10 since this phone is getting two years of OS update. This phone has such incredible camera software and features that I don't see quiet often nowadays, yes it doesn't have the fastest processor and sometime get to hot till the point that it melt the glue that was holding the screen itself! But still one of my favorite phones till to date and looing forward to get a newer version.
Watching from my 6 pro. Got the 512 for only 250$. Absolute madness. Almost a year with it and been loving it
Always great content! SUBSCRIBED!
I bought one of these at the beginning of the year as a secondary device and was mind blown at the capability and performance for the price. I ended up using it more than my iPhone 14 Pro Max that was my main phone. The only complaint I had was thermals (fixed with the 7-8) and the display being worth more than the phone.
I ended up purchasing a refurbished P7P to replace it instead of replacing it with a similarly expensive OEM screen. To be honest I liked many elements of the 6 more, especially the ultra curved display and the 4x zoom lens. For the money there really isn’t much out there that is this good all around.
I got one from Ebay for £70 with a broken screen (had black ink and a touch problem), and ordered a cheap replacement screen for £35.
Cons -
1.The screen has good colours and brightness, refresh rate is unreliable so I use it on 60hz (took me a while to dial down from 144hz from Motorola) and bezels are bigger.
2. Battery charging is slow af and SOT is average. will try google chargers someday.
3. Video camera lags while switching lenses and no 4k 60fps on all lenses.
4. Fingerprint sensor is slow but you get used to it.
5. Incredibly heavier than my Motorola, haven't got used to it yet.
Pros.
1. Value for money, flagship for £100.
2. Google extended support till Android 17.
3. Absolute beast of cameras, in par with current flagships (not the Chinese flagships) (I use Gcam mod, stock Gcam sucks).
4. Excellent speakers and Haptics.
5. Performance is good enough for daily usage, I haven't felt anything bad about Tensor G1.
6. Haven't faced any bugs.
7. Best looking pixel ever ( I have sorta sunny ).
Shopping around in the used market is really worth it. Got my brother a near mint S23 Ultra for €550 and frankly that's the kind of deal that made the people asking me for advice on what new device to get silly.
I'm not a fan of curved edges on a phone because while it looks cool, it's uncomfortable to hold and is subject to phantom touches. I'm running a Pixel 6a that was bought from Straight Talk at Walmart for about $100 brand new with a plan a year ago. It's fully unlocked after 2 months even if you only pay for the first month only and can be used on any carrier. Straight Talk is easily the best place to buy phones because they're either free or massively discounted and unlocked after 2 months. This Pixel 6a has been great to use and once it was updated from Android 14 to 15, it got even better with battery life and buttery smooth overall performance. The fingerprint sensor isn't great but it works. Pixels have the best update policy on the android market and they just work well.
Yup, with you on the 6A. Also kinda miss wireless charging and zoom lens but it's generally fine so the only reason I'd move is because of the fingerprint scanner (moreso because of the bright light than it's inefficiency) -I'm liking the 9A "leaks" with no camera bump +oh and maybe better battery wouldn't hurt IMO
It is kinda hard to recommend old Pixels as you can tend to find them on sale for the price of a used pixel in the states, or a carrier will give you the brand new one for free.
No arguments from me. I'll throw my hat in there with the Pixel 6 range. I do delivery work on my motorcycle and I used the Pixel 6 since it was launched. It is my daily phone and my only phone. I use it for everything everyone does. Some games. Social media. Photos. Plus delivery work 6hrs++ a day. It's been through blistering hot days and thunderstorms because I use it for GPS mounted on my bike. It only broke because after too many accidental drops. I am extremely impressed it lasted this long. I'm now using a Samsung a55 now until I can probably get the pixel 9 next year.
Main issue with Tensor G1 is the mobile modem, it is far worse then G2 or even G3/G4. So in areas with not so great coverage it can be pain in the ass... But on a cheap you get great camera and big screen with clean android :)
The only thing I don't like is screens that bend around the edges. It causes annoying reflections, warps the display around the edges in a distracting way and makes the device too slippery when using one-handed. Although curved sides ARE more comfortable to use day-to-day, despite flat sides actually looking nicer in my opinion - curved sides look VERY dated at this point.
the biggest issue with the pixel 6 lineup is the chipset, I'm not referring to raw power . the heating issues are so bad, i mean the device will literally turn off your flash if you are video recording , reduce screen brightness or will at all not charge your phone unless you turn it off, i would highly recommend saving an extra 100 dollars and getting an elite midrange phone instead.
Literally watching this on my pixel 6 pro that i bought 2 months ago for 150$
Switched from iPhone just because of the design, this phone is absolutely stunning and its cameras are honestly unbelievable
How was it now? Is it still ok? I also plan to switch from iphone to this phone
@@ez_lan yeah it feels like a brand new phone, no complains
Do you review china ROM phones? I recommend reviewing the realme GT5 Pro because there's a very few reviewer featured this phone. Im might sound biased to this phone but it is worth the shot
The device packs
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 1.5k 144hz screen LTPO (3) AMOLED scren, 100w wired charging and 50w wireless charging with 10w reverse wireless charging, USB 3.0, IR blaster, flagship grade build quality (aluminum and eco leather back)
And the spotlight of this was the camera sensors that packs 50MP main & telephoto lens and the crappy 8MP ultrawide but it take the job done all the time
It was a brother of OnePlus 12, just downgraded specs imo. The only problem with china ROM BBK brands (realme, Oppo and OnePlus) was the region lock. But the seller says that they unlock it before they shipped
Where to buy unlocked version? Google don't sell this model anymore and Amazon doesn't have selling this phone in decent version?
True TH-camr Ryan. Mostly just want to show iphone and apple products. exist a lot of other good phones and brands, for most people just want a phone to call and msg and a fair camera to take pics from cats or dogs.
Great Video! While I generally prefer phones with flat sides and therefore flat screens, this is only because a screen protector is a must on my phones, and I would rather live with the better feeling and long lasting flat screen protector than a curved one which seem to have many issues. A lot of the time, I see people using these devices with no protectors, so this may be why. However, I have to agree with you that every time I hold a phone with a more curved body and display, it feels much more comfortable than my iPhone 12 which has flat sides. I personally prefer an in the middle design like any of the base model Samsung S series released in the past four years.
They just announced 2 more years of firmware support! I bought a mint unit for £160 which is a cracking bargain.
Absolutely mate that's mega!
Yeah great phone
Been thinking bout getting a back up device, browsing the 2nd hand market for one with great value, pixel 6 pro could be it. Thanks for the video. You’ve been consistent with great content uploads. That 100k sub is coming sooner than you think.🎉🎉
As someone who had a Pixel 6 when it launched, on release the phone was a buggy mess. It's gotten much better now and for the price is great value. However, for people who are looking for an alternative I'd recommend a Galaxy S21 FE which can be found for as low as $100 US dollars on sites like eBay. You get solid cameras, great display and solid performance. The build quality is not as premium since it has a plastic back but it's the phone I used after my Pixel 6 and I liked it way more than the Pixel.
I used a pixel 6 pro for about a month last year and honestly it has the best main camera on any phone I've used. The reason that I had to stop using it was unfortunately also camera related as the main lens cracked underneath the camera glass after knocking it against a wall in my pocket and the durability concern pushed me towards Samsung.
A small thing that matters a lot to me is haptics. I absolutely hate cheap, buzzy haptics. Old-model flagships tend to have the high-quality haptics that even the newer budget models might lack.
would really love a review on the LG V60, still holds up to this day imo, I just wish it had a 120hz screen.
Are the modem issues real though or people just over exaggerating
I opted to go for a refurb S21+ even though pixel pro is a really good choice as well
Is it even safe to use a phone that dont get supported anymore?
The fact than Pixel 6 and 7 get 2 more years of updates is crazy. Pixel 7 pro still offers camera performance on par with 9 pro xl that is on the same level as latest iPhones and Samsungs. Solid buy
pixels have shit batteries
is 5-6 SoT not enough for a work day? lol
@hasnu4145 why would you need more than 3-4 hours in your phone? 😳
Personally, I love flat sided phones with flat or slightly curved edged displays. I think flat v curved sides just comes down to opinion. A flat phone feels much more robust in the hand which outweighs comfort to me.
Completely agree on this take. Since the announcement that the series 6 will get 2 more years of platform updates I went and bought a Pixel 6(Coral❤) as my secondary device. I loved the 6P when I got it at launch but felt like I had to switch to iPhone since it plays nicer with my work Exchange environment in the iOS native apps, but always missed the Pixel experience. Happy to be “dual wielding” Pixel and iPhone again 😊 Only thing left to do now is waiting for Google Messages to come out for iOS (18.2) and be done with the horrible RCS experience Apple is offering right now. Praying for this 🙏🙏
Pixel 8 Pro Amazon Renewed is $374. Its trade-in value is $699 on _Google._ They also reduced the price of Pixel 9 by $150, and you can buy one right from the store for $749 that has 256GB.
With the trade-in you're buying the newest Pixel for $430. One that has 12GB RAM instead of 8 on the 8 and 8A.
How much for the new 6 pro?
Tensor G1 performance was actually fine at the time, it's what happened 4 generations later with the G4 and the price point at which it sells that's absolutely ridiculous.
I usually buy refurbished/2nd hand iPhones, but lately the prices are pretty horrible for anything semi-new as they hold their value too well. Something like this Pixel seems like it punches way above its weight for the price.
Iphone owner here.. really tempted to get pixel 8 pro.. getting some good deals in my country
Since its release, I still have the regular Pixel 6 (at the second time of asking, after dropping a dumbell on the previous one). The reseller offered a years warranty on my most recent 6, and it was cheap to buy secondhand, at near perfect condition. Takes fanatstic photos and decent video and does all the basics as it should. Genuinely have no desire to upgrade, nor have feelings of new phone fomo, which I used to get with mobile phones.
The pixel 8 pro renewed is 350 on amazon right now.
I have a normal pixel 6 was gonna upgrade but since it’s gonna be updated for 2 more years so I’ll hold onto it
I know I'm late.. but congratulations on 100k :D ❤
I have a 7a and due to being located in texas rurally i have to charge it two to three times *A Day* to make it through a day. Bad reception means i run through the battery like mad and it overheats all the time.
Ive never owned a phone that could make it through a day out here without having to be charged. Thats the unobtainable dream for me.
Energizer has had a 20k mAh phone which looked like a brick.
@hyperturbotechnomike I would buy a fat phone with a bigger battery in a heartbeat man lol
In my country I can get a P7pro for 2000ttd from the FB market place which is a steal of a deal.
Sd card headphone jack?
i have a pixel 6a and it's pretty good, upgraded from pixel 3a, also not that bad even today, but yeah in-screen fingerprint scanner is just horrible with a protective glass of film
I have a Pixel 6 since debut and I'm planning to keep it for more few years.
Damn if only these were available everywhere at around $200 or so... Would've gotten this in a heartbeat over my newer lower budget phone ngl. Sadly even the used ones cost around $330 here in my country
It's good, but no card slot. Also a flat side is kind of a must for me, it's better ergonomically and helps against slipping in many different uses cases, and using it sideways and without holding... a slightly curved back and front can be ok, but the side has to be flat. -- And while this is not quite heavy, still lighter would be better, for example around the same size Xiaomi Mi Lite 5G is only 159 grams - not super light but at least fair enough... a CHEAP phone I have and can recommend but I'd want a kick-ass camera and a flat side.
Loving your content. So glad I found your channel, especially as you’re from good old Kernow! Great photos. What was the wallpaper you used on the phone? Keep up the good work!
I was asked by a family member a month ago to recommend her an affordable phone, I picked the S22 for her. It does have amazing cameras and screen plus it's compact and not as expensive anymore :)
Solid phone. Better than a newer A series of galaxy.
I've been using this phone since I got it in 2022 (after the crazy issues were pretty much all fixed) and it's been great for the 2 and a half years I've had it! I still love using the camera system, and while some of the AI features aren't very useful, stuff like magic eraser is and comes in clutch when photos (or screenshots) have random stuff you don't wanna see
also I feel like a lot of reviewers rave about the waves of phones with the flat screens, flat rails, and curved corners because it's kinda an optimal balance of comfort and grip when holding the phone without a case, but it honestly makes phones soooo boring nowadays...like it just feels like EVERYONE copied the iPhone...which Imo is not a good image for manufacturers besides Apple cause originality has in a lot of ways been thrown out the window
like with the 6 Pro, you look at it and see the more square corners, the curved screen edges, and the camera bar and it's instantly recognizable as a premium Google phone...whereas with the Pixel 9s I wouldn't blame you for mistaking it for an iPhone or like an S24 without specifically looking at the cameras
You should consider the Poco F6 Pro or the Redmi K70 Ultra next time
Can you help with the wallpaper please? What app is the wallpaper from? Loving the content. Already Subbed! Cheers!!
I really like this choice. The curved edges is a deal breaker for me but otherwise i would totally pick this phone up
I'm still using pixel 6a, got my Android 15 update today and pretty much amazing at anything (aside from gaming, gets hot pretty fast and has quite battery drop after 1 hour of gaming). Overall, Pixel 6 gen is an amazing budget phone.
I'm watching this video on the pixel 6 Pro. I've had it since it was released. Still good. Has its issues. But what phones doesn't. My battery lasts 1.5 days. Though I don't game or use social media as much. Use my phone's for videos and podcasting. Phone feels fas5 and the camera is still killer.
I was hesitant on the refubrished so I inated bought a new pixel 7 for 400 and I love it. My friend bough a s24 last night for double the price and we compared and I think my pixel 7 has better camera with moe features - not to mention I love the design. It's unique.And I haven't experienced any heating issues what so ever. I live in India.And Oh, no bugs but the yeah the fingerprint sucks.
Willing Ryan on to that 100K ✌️
wasn't this a phone known for being incredibly buggy and with hardware flaws like volume buttons that fall off and camera glass that spontaneously crack?
I've just recently got rid of mine but really hated the idea, only reason I gave it up was I just couldn't cope with the slow charging speed anymore, other than that id still have the phone now
Interesting! I'd have thought charging would be one of the less important things. What you rocking now?
It actually baffled me, back when samsung used to make curve edge phone and with almost with reviewer always said "it look nice but why" or straight up telling samsung to not do curve edge again. And here 2024 suddenly people in general public start to say they miss the old curve like note9 or s8 was. Consumer you yourself want it to be feature out, blame it on yourself.
I had a pixel 7 for one day and took it back and got the s23 256gb the pixel looks good but you can't store numbers to a sim card and it was awkward to flip through things you've got open in background like you can with a Samsung pity though as it was over half the price of the Samsung
Another banger video. I've been screaming from the rooftop. Anyone that's asked me the best budget phones on eBay are iPhone 12 and pixel 6 series. Everyone talking crap about this chip I'm thinking bro so go get you a Samsung a15 piece of crap for the same price. I don't understand people's thinking sometimes. Thanks again!!
I love pixel 6pro. I dont know its maybe I captured my best memories with it or it was just a good phone. Design was beautiful and the screen is wonderful.
But this phone has some serious network issues. The network modem is weak af. The whole pixel 6 series has network issues.
What about Pixel 7 Pro? Make a video on it too.
I hate the unremovable Google search bar at the bottom.
NGL, I also bought the pixel 6 pro despite its issues... Its the best bang for buck phone with great camera for photos, videos and has good enough zoom!!!
Besides I already have my ps Vita, switch and older lg v50 for gaming and playing flac files anyway.
