The camera bump and overall styling is gorgeous. Despite preferring a flat screen.. I'd pay the extra money for the Pixel 6 Pro. My Pixel 2 XL can finally fill up the retirement papers.
Just pre-ordered the 6 as my Pixel2 is starting to show its age. Been a great phone though. I don't think the 3,4 or 5 would have felt like much of an upgrade. The 6 sure will though.
How are you Pixel 2XL holding up performance wise?.... Is it just has expected or worse than expected?.... I'm thinking of getting either a 3XL or the Samsung A32... Not sure if pixels age well
I think the pump looks much betther then the classic „one sided box“ type. i‘m suprised no one did this before. (at least i‘m not aware of some other phone)
I just don't understand what was wrong with the fingerprint reader being on the back of the phone. Its so much more natural. I love this feature on my Pixel 5. So I probably won't be upgrading.
Fingerprint on the back only works when you're holding the device. Front position allows interacting with the phone without picking it up while it's charging either laying down flat or vertical stand(ex pixel wireless charger gen 2) etc. I respect your opinion, you shouldn't upgrade if this a huge issue for you, but this way is more convenient.
True. It's more comfortable aswell I fink,because your palm and fingers are at the back instead of moving it all for the front. Even though it fast to do,I personally agree with you.
@@Fleshlight_Reviewer the reviewers can only show the phone in this video and stretch it out while not showing anything the phone offers like improvements in battery camera etc until after a certain date, which is really annoying

@@james5637 I don't think that was the point they were trying to make. The limitations of using a phone camera when photographing dark skin are real. It's great that it was recognized and troubleshot. Anyone who photographs with a DSLR knows this.
I really don’t get why a lot of vids I’ve seen say this. As a bystander with no experience in these kinds of vids (full disclosure) Id agree with how the verge prefaced it: it allows creators to produce the same “day of event” videos that you would have previously in a non social distancing scenario AND also gives you more time pre-launch to test and review… less rushed production times.
@@seangodde5429 That’s an interesting way to look at it. The reason I believe these channels term it a “red flag” is perhaps because putting an embargo on the review almost hints at the product being unfinished/unpolished. Those little software updates, camera features etc., the embargo makes it seem like they may be compromised in some manner.
Nope, the embargo is because of the unfinished camera and other software updates which will be completed by the time phone reaches the user's hand. One more reason for it is, MKBHD and few others like to kiss apple arse every time, so they wouldn't let even a single chance of taking down Pixel with their unfinished work.
@@munyaradzimugomeza7176 well if you closely watch he kind of goes soft on apple. Check out the recent Mac coverage, he said notch on a laptop, "you'll be used to it" and says thanks for bringing SSD slot, well sony did that on their phone he called it as Meh". So basically MKBHD sounds sometimes like calling apple but he is always soft. Just like an adopted son of apple to promote their brand. Come on why would any good critic for a notch on the screen will say that "you'll be used to it and it's not a big deal for him" Why would any smart person want a Notch on their laptop screen?
Unfortunately mine was one of the defective devices, the motherboard got fried after about 2 years :( my favorite phone and the reason why I have a Pixel 2 XL and a Pixel 5. This Pixel 6 though...just made me regret getting the 5! Can't wait for the full review to see what it can do :D

@@nicholasdean3467 I know you shouldn't technically be using a phone for professional applications. but if you do want to, then the Pro phone will do it much better and faster than the base one. The Pro model is also more likely to last longer in the gaming space than the base because of its RAM
@@jordandonnelly7352 Last longer in the gaming space? Honey, this is the top of the top, a 8gb RAM flagship. Games are made for the average phone. Pixel 6 will easily crush gaming performance for at least the upcoming 5 years.

I completely stopped purchasing Google phones when they switched from Nexus to Pixel. Nexus phone were loved from everyone. Simple design, affordable and Vanilla Android.
@@aldoblack5982 I stopped buying Nexus AND Pixel phones and swapped to IPhone when I realized Google was only providing a pathetic 2 years of updates and only 3 years of security updates. Sounds like they are promising 5 years of updates with this one which definitely legitimizes it beyond any other non-iOS phone IMO
Now that OnePlus has gone off the rails are are more or less just becoming rebranded Oppo, I might actually jump on a Pixel phone. That $599 is a pretty decent price.
I was thinking of same. Now I'm using OP 8T, and it's best for it's price, but newer models of OP is getting worse on the side of software. Next year, after "beta test" period of first Pixel buyers, probably I'm going to jump into Pixel side.
Hey Marques, what I really want to know is how much difference are we talking about between the 5G millimeter wave on the 6 Pro vs the 5G on the 6? Not on paper but just in your everyday practical use.
Maybe I can help a little bit. 5G mm wave is what everyone is talking about when they talk about the potential of 5G. Regular 5G is a very, very small step up from 4G LTE. 5G mm wave is unbelievably fast, and few phones are equipped for it, and even less carriers.
🤔😎I'm a wait & see for the full reviews & benchmarks B4 even considering purchasing this new pixel 6 & that camera bar will be something to get use to 🤔
Just an FYI: The front cameras are also different between the two phones. Pixel 6 has a 8MP sensor with smaller pixels and 84 degree field of view. The 6 Pro has an 11.1MP sensor with larger pixels and 94 degree field of view.
Pro is worth it for the higher res front camera and the telephoto feature, especially with their Super Res mode. For a 3-5 year phone, worth the investment
He's got it ahead of launch, no doubt many of the features need to come through the Play Store updates and may not have been released yet. That doesn't sound like a red flag to me.
@@mannys616 most companies do embargoes but this one specifically didnt allow reviewers to show any software or camera features, which is definitely sus
@@MrGdotcom They are already up for preorder and they don't want reviewers to review their phone. Are we just supposed to preorder it without even knowing about the phone? Looks like a red flag to me.
this really does make me feel like I should reconsider buying it. I want the phone, but that 1 change is a HUGE one for me. really makes no sense to take it off the back.
My Samsung S20 fingerprint reader is under the glass. You can't use tempered glass protectors. I have the thin plastic protector. Half the time I can't get my fingerprint to register. It's annoying. My pixel 3 is spot on every single time.
@@GurlDreamer50 I have a OnePlus 7 Pro and I have not used a screen protector. No cracks or scratches. They raved that the Pixel has the strongest glass. So I might not even use a protector with it
$599 - now that's definitely a bargain for a flagship day 1. Looking forward to your full review. That Tensor chip will be worth testing, especially in gaming.
Samsung is in panic not knowing what to do, their s series has less features for much more money, 120hz isn't worth 200$ bump over 90hz. Also battery on s series is much smaller..., Lot worse camera... I wonder what will they try on the s22 since the s22 is pretty much due for production anyway no time to change anymore.
I would day one that fckr as well, too bad it doesn't sell in my country, the country right next to mine sells it preorder for 650€ and get free bose 700.... How not to day one that fckin thing ? The sorta sea foam looks sssooooo nice...
I'm extremely interested in seeing a complete spec breakdown between the 2 pixels here in this video, and then another spec breakdown between the 6pro vs s21 ultra.
Gotta say, it’s refreshing to see you going over the hardware. I miss the old Oneplus era where every phone was so different. Every phone these days is basically the same.
@@Tom_Stevens617 I don't live under a rock but I do live on one. Just my opinion anyway. It feels like 70% of phones I see reviews for have some variant on the basic top left camera bump with small bezel with a notch or hole punch camera up front. I guess what I really mean most phones nowadays don't visually break the mold too much (save for experimental and folding phones). I haven't really been surprised at the design decisions in new phones in these past few years. My other point is that it's refreshing to see things like Marques noting the button placement and the little divot between them, not to mention the camera bump. It seems small, but I think having constraints on your videos makes them feel more unique, like in this case he couldn't release any software details. Reminds me of the old days when Marques didn't have millions of dollars in gear/property at his fingertips, so sometimes he had to focus on details rather than the big picture. Don't get me wrong, I like this too. It's just nostalgic for me I guess.
I understand you ive stopped keeping up with newer phones because there just no innovation in terms of design and features everyone is following the same safe design language. Oneplus and samsung are two big examples. I miss when oneplus was affordable
@@Tom_Stevens617 I think he means the same design. Let's be frank, every Android phone after the abandoned pop-up selfie camera experiments have offered a 20:9 display with punch hole camera, same plus-sized dimension, same speaker set-up with a bottom-firing main speaker and a smaller earpiece top speaker, same camera combo with slightly increasing camera bump, a curved backside, glass on the more expensive models, plastic on the cheaper. They can't even bother offering different sizes anymore. What happened with metal frames from a couple of years ago? Those were practical and more durable than plastic.
@@noahrezentes I understand you, but I don’t mind companies having their own design language. I don’t need to see a brand new design I feel it hides the actual ‘tech’ upgrade. You want like a revolutionary design but there’s no reason for a company to do that.
Not my business but do you really need to spend 600$ on a phone? Even if you don't break it for 5 years that's still 120$ per year and it does nothing that a phone at half the price can't do
@@truthwatcher2096 I guess it depends on the person. 120$ a year for a phone is not that much like you're trying to make it look. It's like 10 bucks a month for a phone and I'm fine with that. 600$ for a phone is a really fair price imo
@@truthwatcher2096 $120/year is really not that much for the average person. Especially on a phone, which people use for hours per day for work, entertainment, and communicaiton. Over 5 years at an average income, that would be like 0.2% of the money you earned. Also what phones are as good at $300
@@breal1577 I mean each reviewer who was seated a Pixel 6/6 Pro. Had to sign an embargo. And that embargo limited them only showing hardware and the home-screen. It's strange, because we already know everything there is to know about the Pixel 6. Not only all the leaks, but literally Google themselves. Additionally, it's strange because Android 12 has been in beta for months and there really isn't anything secretive to hide there either. I can understand not wanting to show camera samples or Tensor benchmarks yet, but Google hasn't ever set these kind of limitation embargos before. Lastly, Monday the 25th is also the embargo lift date for Pixel 6 full reviews. It's also the same date all the Apple product embargos lift. So not sure if Marques will release several videos or just split them on different days. Regardless, Google shouldn't have restricted reviewers so firmly on a product/software that literally isn't secretive at all.
True, but compare the pro to other phones at the price range, its a pretty good value! The standard 6 is just really really well priced so it makes the pro seem overpriced. If the 6 cost 799 as initially expected, the pro would seem like a steal. Its all relative.
@@bonk_rl Yeah I think the camera is the main difference ngl, like obviously havent seen the kind of photos this can take but one of the main reasons for buying a pixel phone in the first place is the amazing camera software, so paired with a great camera who knows how good the photos will be
Lol it's not a big deal they just put an embargo on the device because their gonna be sending out updates for the phone in between the embargo time period
If he truly believed that then he would have just made a single video after the embargo was lifted. Yet he makes impressions video and review video for each phone instead of just the review video for the same reason as companies have embargo: money
@@crisp9929 so what ? who said we don't need headphone jack in 2021, not everyone will like to keep charging the headphone and keep using, also yah most of wireless earphones or buds gonna be use and throw within span of year or two, an cheap wired headset sounds as good as moderate cost earbuds or wireless neckband with shitty mic.
I did get the 5a. It's a good phone. Really like it kept the 3.5mm headset jack. Would have waited for the 6 but the supply chain disruptions this year worried me since we didn't have a firm launch date. With T-MOBILE shutting the old Sprint CDMA network down, I didn't want to be stuck with a Samsung 😀
I'm waiting on the right phone to upgrade from my Pixel 3, too. Not sure this is it though - want to see the photos and especially a huge upgrade in video.
The Pixel 2 XL was in my opinion the greatest phone Google ever made. I was constantly let down with the 3,4, and even the 5. I know it's too soon to say but this is the first time since 2017 that I truly believe Google went back to their roots and figured out what makes a Pixel a Pixel.
Why were people disappointed? Those phones were definitely great phones that provided great experience for anyone who for any reason didn't want to spend crap amount of money to buy a phone.
@@FlyingPigChannel was thinking of going case less this time round but that edge... maybe this time i will just go dbrand case... (using pixel 3XL with a spiegen case)
They look great! The pro would look better with white buttons and a white slight curve that fusion seemly the camera with the body, this way it won’t store dust. The white and orange remembers me to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Looks great also, would be better with orange buttons though.
Wow, 5 year's of updates. That's a plus. I'm still with my pixel 3 XL. And with 128 gigs of storage I'm hopeful it'll do me till the price of the pro comes way down. Couple of years. Still missing the idea of no front facing stereo speakers on the newer models. Bottom firing will never be as good. Also, I'm a case person. And that rear camera,,,,median,,, looks like it would weird out a case. Oh and , I wasn't a big fan of the colored on switches. They were always plastic. Thanks for the look see.
@@mbaxter22 Eh, I won't. I like to use my phones the way they were built without extra thickness or weight. If the stainless steel is (wasn't that big of an issue on any of my Pro iPhones, but I've always went for the smaller size) too slippery or uncomfortable, I'll just Dbrand it.
Really excited to see how this stacks up against my s21 ultra. I've been really trying to get back into the pixel lineup, but every year there is something huge that is missing that I can't justify spending the money for. This looks to be the best and most complete pixel phone ever
I'm excited too, and have already pre-ordered a black Pro. Coming from a OnePlus 8 Pro here, and I really want to get back into the stock Android experience. I've used the Android 12 beta on my phone, and it is significantly more bloated after the Color OS merger.
@@raihanmdgician7396 oh boy, this pixel phone is going to shock you this coming Monday. Pixel always had the upper hand due to the clean software and the amazing computation photography, now they’re rocking their own powerful silicone, with improved specs, which was the only thing that was holding the pixel devices back. Sorry, but this phone is going to be a beast.
The 6 Pro was going to be my next phone--moving from a Pixel 4 XL. But Google was way to slow on release. I’m now using a iPhone 13 Pro Max. Nice review Marques. Always excellent reviews.
I'd rather reviewers just didn't bother with these 'First Look' videos. Marques handled this as well as he could, but there's nothing here that won't be in the full review so it's basically just an ad.
@@fuelvolts oh I'd certainly do the same But when so little info is released, it affects the quality of his channel overall I'd like to see Marques and others stop playing this silly game of giving brands free publicity for no benefit whatsoever to the viewer
I don't know why tech companies almost always give the better looking colors to the cheaper/midrange phones, with only a few exceptions, well at least only in my opinion. I mean it is technically better since the the better lookin ones are more cheaper amd accessible but its still kinda off
Omg THANK YOU. It's so true!! I hate this assumption that a more expensive phone means that the consumers are probably "professionals" and would thus like more professional colors aka boring colors.
It's probably because the cheaper ones are bought more often by younger customers or by parents for their kids and younger people like flashier colors.

@@tdawgular15 covers? No. But most cases extend out past the camera bump so if you set your phone on a surface the camera isn't touching the surface, the case is. That will require a thicker than usual case on this phone.

@@bringbackwindowsphone to be honest, it isn't much yes, but its not like that, for example, Samsung pass, I got like 52 passwords in there, and also samsung notes, they also have their cloud there too, and i got like 500 notes in there, i owned note 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 20. So as you can see, I've grown used to it. Samsung cloud sucks though, I'll give you that. Google cloud is universal, so i am used to that one. I never use samsung dex, nor their multitasking windowed mode. I only like their share feature, where you can share a file 2GB in size, which is useful. I can tell you, samsung is growing down on me, I am liking other brands more and more. I was thinking of getting a xiaomi mi11 ultra the other day, just cause they got more features. But I think that the google 6 pro is nice still, I'm just not uses to pixel phones.
i'm honestly surprised to see so many people that like it. it just looks so... "android" to me. kinda cheap and outdated, which is weird cause i think the pixel 5 is one of the best looking phones of all time
Eum, I started thinking that it is actually not that good. Especially for pixel 6 when there is an orange color on the top, the wide camera bump, and another color on the bottom. See, like there is something inconsistency that can't be explained why. Moreover, the front display design that's seems to be outdated.
my first reaction was the price point of these was so much cheaper than i expected, and the specs between the base and the pro are so negligible that im super tempted to go with the base model this time. i've always gone with the XL version but the difference in size between these two really not that much at all. the spec jump from the 3XL to 6 is very nice on paper. So far from what i can tell, the Pro model is really just $300 extra bones for an extra camera. i cant wait for a more in depth look!
Not just an extra camera though ; the Pro has higher refresh rate screen(120hz vs 90hz), better resolution display (1440p vs 1080p), bigger battery. Also the bezels on the pro are much smaller than the vanilla 6.
@@gourabbhattacharjee1054 I've never owned anything with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz and since I'm coming from a Pixel 3XL I just figure a 90Hz seems like it would be enough of an improvement for me. The screen resolution though is an interesting point because it seems that with a slightly larger screen, the base model has a lower resolution compared to the 3XL. For me personally that seems to be the main drawback. Stuff like bezels and chins have never actually bothered me and is not something I take notice of especially since I'm always cased up. But yes, good points to bring up!
@@fretshr3dder He also didn't mention that the Pixel 6 has 8GB of Ram and the Pro has 12GB of Ram. The Pixel 6 has 3 years of support. The Pro has 5 years. The Pro will last you a lot longer.
@@darthpryce ah very true. RAM doesn't seem to be something I'm concerned with also though! Again, coming from a 3XL, the base 6 has so many hardware improvements and the difference between the base and the pro are too little to truly justify an additional $300 tag. I also am no longer the heavy power user that I used to be. Really I only care for the Pixel line because of the direct Google support and freshest Android experience
They should have put fillets on the camera visor so it would be a smooth transition instead of that dust-collecting crease. Maybe some crafty people can fill it up with epoxy or something to round it out.

As a bystander with no experience in these kinds of vids (full disclosure) Id agree with how the verge prefaced it: it allows creators to produce the same “day of event” videos that you would have previously in a non social distancing scenario AND also gives you more time pre-launch to test and review… less rushed production times.
@@seangodde5429 That’s an interesting way to look at it. The reason I believe these channels term it a “red flag” is perhaps because putting an embargo on the review almost hints at the product being unfinished/unpolished. Those little software updates, camera features etc., the embargo makes it seem like they may be compromised in some manner.
Nope, the embargo is because of the unfinished camera and other software updates which will be completed by the time phone reaches the user's hand. One more reason for it is, MKBHD and few others like to kiss apple arse every time, so they wouldn't let even a single chance of taking down Pixel with their unfinished work.

@@munyaradzimugomeza7176 well if you closely watch he kind of goes soft on apple. Check out the recent Mac coverage, he said notch on a laptop, "you'll be used to it" and says thanks for bringing SSD slot, well sony did that on their phone he called it as Meh".
So basically MKBHD sounds sometimes like calling apple but he is always soft. Just like an adopted son of apple to promote their brand.
Come on why would any good critic for a notch on the screen will say that "you'll be used to it and it's not a big deal for him"
Why would any smart person want a Notch on their laptop screen?

Smooooth on the “RED FLAG” comment Markes trying to tell us something without saying it , nice !!
Reason I did not pre-order
Yesss appreciated that. I definitely red in-between the lines
I'm pretty sure it's cause they didn't ship with the release version of 12 and they want to make sure it's running that before reviews are written.
Turns out he recommends it and you interpreted poorly. 😅
@@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour well he doesn't recomend the 6 pro , wish is kind of what it meant by the red flag
Yes, bring back accent-coloured power buttons. Such a simple bit of flare.
Imagine an MKBHD edition phone in black with red accents
Nexus 6P owner here. Loved that phone. Camera strip is like coming home.
Shout out to existing 6P owners! I gave mine to my mother after 2 battery replacements and it is still running well to this day!
nope
Still using mine from Jan 2016 after a battery replacement. One heck of a device.
Unfortunately mine was one of the defective devices, the motherboard got fried after about 2 years :( my favorite phone and the reason why I have a Pixel 2 XL and a Pixel 5. This Pixel 6 though...just made me regret getting the 5! Can't wait for the full review to see what it can do :D
I am definitely interested in the pixel phone but i am 100% going to wait for a comprehensive review. The Tensor chip has a lot of marketing surrounding it but not much else.
It's way weaker than any flagship on the market Geekbench scores were very low but the GPU seems powerful with 20 cores

@@jesse8716 the geek bench shows the tenor chip being as much as 40% faster than the s21 cpu. The only new flagships with better processors are iPhones
I’m really interested in comparing camera quality and how fast the phones work with the ram difference. I want to know if the $300 difference is well worth it. Thank you for the awesome video!
I just got the iPhone 13 pro I wonder how it compares to this
I can tell you right now. The speed difference isn't worth the $300. It isn't 2010 anymore with phone speeds. You can buy a $200 phone and it will be fast.
@@nicholasdean3467 I know you shouldn't technically be using a phone for professional applications. but if you do want to, then the Pro phone will do it much better and faster than the base one. The Pro model is also more likely to last longer in the gaming space than the base because of its RAM
@@jordandonnelly7352 Last longer in the gaming space? Honey, this is the top of the top, a 8gb RAM flagship. Games are made for the average phone. Pixel 6 will easily crush gaming performance for at least the upcoming 5 years.

I absolutely felt that the Google should bring the Nexus designs to their Pixel series especially that of the Nexus 6P and here we are.
I completely stopped purchasing Google phones when they switched from Nexus to Pixel. Nexus phone were loved from everyone. Simple design, affordable and Vanilla Android.
@@aldoblack5982 I stopped buying Nexus AND Pixel phones and swapped to IPhone when I realized Google was only providing a pathetic 2 years of updates and only 3 years of security updates.
Sounds like they are promising 5 years of updates with this one which definitely legitimizes it beyond any other non-iOS phone IMO
@@BC08 the lack of updates was more to do with Qualcomm chip support if I remember right, that's why they Puth their own chip in this one
My 6P had a battery drain issue, so it's nice that they've moved on to Pixel.
@@MrREAPERsz Yeah I had to get mine refunded fully by Google. Took 3 months of fighting, but I bought a Pixel XL in its place!
Now that OnePlus has gone off the rails are are more or less just becoming rebranded Oppo, I might actually jump on a Pixel phone. That $599 is a pretty decent price.
Totally my thoughts.
Yep same, had the OnePlus One, 3, 6t and 7 pro. The 7 pro will be my last OnePlus.
I was thinking of same. Now I'm using OP 8T, and it's best for it's price, but newer models of OP is getting worse on the side of software. Next year, after "beta test" period of first Pixel buyers, probably I'm going to jump into Pixel side.
I Am using the OP 8Pro right now, and being a bit scared about Android 12 update...
Same here I had OP 3, 6, 7T ,but as of now I don't think my next phone gonna be OP.
Hey Marques, what I really want to know is how much difference are we talking about between the 5G millimeter wave on the 6 Pro vs the 5G on the 6? Not on paper but just in your everyday practical use.
Maybe I can help a little bit. 5G mm wave is what everyone is talking about when they talk about the potential of 5G. Regular 5G is a very, very small step up from 4G LTE. 5G mm wave is unbelievably fast, and few phones are equipped for it, and even less carriers.
I've gotten 2Gbps on mmwave but it's super short range and hard to connect to consistently
🤔😎I'm a wait & see for the full reviews & benchmarks B4 even considering purchasing this new pixel 6 & that camera bar will be something to get use to 🤔
@@emerybraun4698 so its basically like hspa+ vs. 4G LTE
I’ve heard the 5G modems on the Pixel 6 are comparable with last year’s S20 and iPhone 12 but don’t match up to this year’s flagships.
Just an FYI: The front cameras are also different between the two phones. Pixel 6 has a 8MP sensor with smaller pixels and 84 degree field of view. The 6 Pro has an 11.1MP sensor with larger pixels and 94 degree field of view.
11.1 is such a specific number aha
Pro is worth it for the higher res front camera and the telephoto feature, especially with their Super Res mode. For a 3-5 year phone, worth the investment
@@davadh in all honesty I want it most for the display over the 6, I'm a big fan of curved displays and miss when they were more common
Hey captain, why are you watching a video then? You should make your own video!
The pros front camera also records in 4k60fps.
“Quite frankly a bit of a red flag.”
💯
He's got it ahead of launch, no doubt many of the features need to come through the Play Store updates and may not have been released yet. That doesn't sound like a red flag to me.
@@MrGdotcom don't provide a test unit if you're not ready for it to be tested, caveats and all

@@zl2859 I agree , it's faster and more accurately read on the back . And a screen protector doesn't make it worse . 🤬😭👎

@@GurlDreamer50 I have a OnePlus 7 Pro and I have not used a screen protector. No cracks or scratches. They raved that the Pixel has the strongest glass. So I might not even use a protector with it
I love the Nexus 6P vibe. That was my all time favourite smartphone
$599 - now that's definitely a bargain for a flagship day 1.
Looking forward to your full review. That Tensor chip will be worth testing, especially in gaming.
Indeed. That screen looks beautiful imo.
Is the best way to do it. Unlike Samsung who trickles their discounts over a period of time and never sell as many units 🤦🏽♂️
Samsung is in panic not knowing what to do, their s series has less features for much more money, 120hz isn't worth 200$ bump over 90hz. Also battery on s series is much smaller..., Lot worse camera... I wonder what will they try on the s22 since the s22 is pretty much due for production anyway no time to change anymore.
I would day one that fckr as well, too bad it doesn't sell in my country, the country right next to mine sells it preorder for 650€ and get free bose 700.... How not to day one that fckin thing ? The sorta sea foam looks sssooooo nice...
Maybe it doesn't perform well in gaming as the snapdragon 888. But it would be very optimized in everything else.
I'll wait once the embargo is done, thanks to you both and everyone else involved for helping to educate us viewers!
You need a tech reviewer union to refuse to cover devices with terrible embargos
ask linus to head up that. they got enough overhead to host one I think. plus most tech reviewers are pretty much a one man show... (in a sense...)
Tch ok boomer
What was the embargo this time?
I'm extremely interested in seeing a complete spec breakdown between the 2 pixels here in this video, and then another spec breakdown between the 6pro vs s21 ultra.
I love the Nexus 6P vibe. That was my all time favourite smartphone
Gotta say, it’s refreshing to see you going over the hardware. I miss the old Oneplus era where every phone was so different. Every phone these days is basically the same.
You must be living under a rock if you believe every phone is basically the same.
@@Tom_Stevens617 I don't live under a rock but I do live on one. Just my opinion anyway. It feels like 70% of phones I see reviews for have some variant on the basic top left camera bump with small bezel with a notch or hole punch camera up front. I guess what I really mean most phones nowadays don't visually break the mold too much (save for experimental and folding phones). I haven't really been surprised at the design decisions in new phones in these past few years. My other point is that it's refreshing to see things like Marques noting the button placement and the little divot between them, not to mention the camera bump. It seems small, but I think having constraints on your videos makes them feel more unique, like in this case he couldn't release any software details. Reminds me of the old days when Marques didn't have millions of dollars in gear/property at his fingertips, so sometimes he had to focus on details rather than the big picture. Don't get me wrong, I like this too. It's just nostalgic for me I guess.
I understand you ive stopped keeping up with newer phones because there just no innovation in terms of design and features everyone is following the same safe design language. Oneplus and samsung are two big examples. I miss when oneplus was affordable
@@Tom_Stevens617 I think he means the same design. Let's be frank, every Android phone after the abandoned pop-up selfie camera experiments have offered a 20:9 display with punch hole camera, same plus-sized dimension, same speaker set-up with a bottom-firing main speaker and a smaller earpiece top speaker, same camera combo with slightly increasing camera bump, a curved backside, glass on the more expensive models, plastic on the cheaper. They can't even bother offering different sizes anymore. What happened with metal frames from a couple of years ago? Those were practical and more durable than plastic.
@@noahrezentes I understand you, but I don’t mind companies having their own design language. I don’t need to see a brand new design I feel it hides the actual ‘tech’ upgrade. You want like a revolutionary design but there’s no reason for a company to do that.
I'm looking forward to your full review. The Pixel 6 will definitely be my next phone. You can't beat the starting price of $599 for those features.
Did he say the features?
Not my business but do you really need to spend 600$ on a phone? Even if you don't break it for 5 years that's still 120$ per year and it does nothing that a phone at half the price can't do
@@truthwatcher2096 I guess it depends on the person. 120$ a year for a phone is not that much like you're trying to make it look. It's like 10 bucks a month for a phone and I'm fine with that. 600$ for a phone is a really fair price imo
Do you work for google?Google?
$600 is too much for the features it has.
Cheaper phones offer more
@@truthwatcher2096 $120/year is really not that much for the average person. Especially on a phone, which people use for hours per day for work, entertainment, and communicaiton. Over 5 years at an average income, that would be like 0.2% of the money you earned. Also what phones are as good at $300
Strange embargo limitations. Be interested to see what we'll find out next Monday.
What do you mean?
@@breal1577 means the ammount they could not show was crazy
@@breal1577 I mean each reviewer who was seated a Pixel 6/6 Pro. Had to sign an embargo. And that embargo limited them only showing hardware and the home-screen. It's strange, because we already know everything there is to know about the Pixel 6. Not only all the leaks, but literally Google themselves. Additionally, it's strange because Android 12 has been in beta for months and there really isn't anything secretive to hide there either. I can understand not wanting to show camera samples or Tensor benchmarks yet, but Google hasn't ever set these kind of limitation embargos before.
Lastly, Monday the 25th is also the embargo lift date for Pixel 6 full reviews. It's also the same date all the Apple product embargos lift. So not sure if Marques will release several videos or just split them on different days. Regardless, Google shouldn't have restricted reviewers so firmly on a product/software that literally isn't secretive at all.
@@BowlingNG hey can we still claim the free bose headphones when the embargo lifts
Love this design although I think $300 extra for more ram and a bigger screen is a major stretch 😭
True, but compare the pro to other phones at the price range, its a pretty good value! The standard 6 is just really really well priced so it makes the pro seem overpriced. If the 6 cost 799 as initially expected, the pro would seem like a steal. Its all relative.
It has an extra camera too
@@bonk_rl Yeah I think the camera is the main difference ngl, like obviously havent seen the kind of photos this can take but one of the main reasons for buying a pixel phone in the first place is the amazing camera software, so paired with a great camera who knows how good the photos will be
Battery and camera too
And battery
The visor camera design actually looks pretty sweet.
It's also kind of asking to be shattered on the first drop 😭
@@4dualshock The glass is only in the middle. The edges of the camera bump are rounded and are metal so dropping it will not cause it to shatter.
"Here is our phones to review!"
"Great, let me just show off this new phone"
"errrr no"
Imagine they don't even allow you to show the phone physically! 🤣
Pretty sure the brands are leading to it.
Marques saying 'a bit of a red flag' is making me think twice, no three times, no four times about pre ordering it now!
What minute does he say that?
He said redflag about embargo not about the phone
You should definitely wait. Remember Surface Duo? That didn't turn out very good, did it?
Never pre order a pixel.... Wait for the reviews.... I repeat NEVER!

When will you be posting the full review of both the devices and also, the comparison between the peers?
It seems like the embargo is up Monday 9PST, I believe, so full reviews should be up on Monday
I was going to pull for the 5a to save some cash, but for the extra $150, this wait for the Pixel 6 will be worth it to replace my Pixel 3
I did get the 5a. It's a good phone. Really like it kept the 3.5mm headset jack. Would have waited for the 6 but the supply chain disruptions this year worried me since we didn't have a firm launch date. With T-MOBILE shutting the old Sprint CDMA network down, I didn't want to be stuck with a Samsung 😀
I'm waiting on the right phone to upgrade from my Pixel 3, too. Not sure this is it though - want to see the photos and especially a huge upgrade in video.

No more two different sizes for Pixels then. The non-pro one is basically just as wide with the thicker bezels. Another reason to look elsewhere.
I love that new back camera layout as it doesn't wobbles on table unlike my phone.....
The Pixel 2 XL was in my opinion the greatest phone Google ever made. I was constantly let down with the 3,4, and even the 5. I know it's too soon to say but this is the first time since 2017 that I truly believe Google went back to their roots and figured out what makes a Pixel a Pixel.
Which is?
agreed Pixel 2 was the greatest. 👌
I have a similar feeling about this one, I really hope it delivers.
Watching on my pixel 2xl ❤️
Why were people disappointed? Those phones were definitely great phones that provided great experience for anyone who for any reason didn't want to spend crap amount of money to buy a phone.
What’s wrong with the 5? Been using it for months and its perfect to me

Awaiting your pixel full review to make a decision.
They look great! The pro would look better with white buttons and a white slight curve that fusion seemly the camera with the body, this way it won’t store dust. The white and orange remembers me to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Looks great also, would be better with orange buttons though.

I don't know why tech companies almost always give the better looking colors to the cheaper/midrange phones, with only a few exceptions, well at least only in my opinion. I mean it is technically better since the the better lookin ones are more cheaper amd accessible but its still kinda off
Omg THANK YOU. It's so true!! I hate this assumption that a more expensive phone means that the consumers are probably "professionals" and would thus like more professional colors aka boring colors.
Agreed. I think that the Pixel 4a/5a looked much better than this phone.
I think they're trying to give you more reasons to buy the cheaper phones?
I guess market data shows that only poor people care about what colour their phone is lol
It's probably because the cheaper ones are bought more often by younger customers or by parents for their kids and younger people like flashier colors.

I'm surprised Google allowed you to open the box 😂
MKBHD be like: “I’ve been using the Pixel Series for about 2 weeks… and I have some thoughts.”
Wow u r fony
Lol
@@GM-xk1nw so fony
You got the whole squad laughing
@@GM-xk1nw not as fony as your English 🤔
Waiting for Zack's test to see if they will break right under the camera visor
Cases are going to fit perfectly with that camera strip, love it!
So the camera sticks out of the case unprotected?
@@pilotdog68 lol show me a case that covers the camera lens. Hint, there aren't any.
@@tdawgular15 covers? No. But most cases extend out past the camera bump so if you set your phone on a surface the camera isn't touching the surface, the case is. That will require a thicker than usual case on this phone.
@@tdawgular15 There definitely is, I have 4 in my amazon basket right now from Spigen. They go over the glass on the rear more so than the Google one does
@@tdawgular15 look at Nillkin case, they have some kind of bump around the camera. So the camera is protected when you place your phone on something
I love the telephoto lense, I almost take all the photos with it. If this performs better than The Note 20 Ultra then I would consider switching.
Bruh, note 20 ultra is just a year old and u already switching? But hey, you do you.
@@Niranjan04 i thought the same thing
Only for ONE better feature ? Fmd people
@@Niranjan04 I don't need to but I can. Also the Battery life sucks and it won't last an entire day, but I'm only going to "consider" switching not switching for sure because there are other factors that play a role.
@@harisrakovic559 I said I would consider switching. For my personal usage, the phones I shortlist now rely heavily on the zoom lense. I don't really have a use case scenario for other features and most of them are standard across all the phones.
Umm 🤔 the $600 price tag is tempting, but I'm so invested into the samsung ecosystem that I can't just leave.
But daaaamn, $600 😂
What in their ecosystem stops the move out of curiosity? Sure their SmartThings is embedded into their Android but isn't it available as an app too?
@@bringbackwindowsphone to be honest, it isn't much yes, but its not like that, for example, Samsung pass, I got like 52 passwords in there, and also samsung notes, they also have their cloud there too, and i got like 500 notes in there, i owned note 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 20.
So as you can see, I've grown used to it.
Samsung cloud sucks though, I'll give you that.
Google cloud is universal, so i am used to that one.
I never use samsung dex, nor their multitasking windowed mode.
I only like their share feature, where you can share a file 2GB in size, which is useful.
I can tell you, samsung is growing down on me, I am liking other brands more and more.
I was thinking of getting a xiaomi mi11 ultra the other day, just cause they got more features.
But I think that the google 6 pro is nice still, I'm just not uses to pixel phones.
I absolutely LOVE the design of this phone. I think it looks sick
Pretty cheap looking in my opinion. There's too much going on in exchange of a minimalistic yet forward looking design.
i'm honestly surprised to see so many people that like it. it just looks so... "android" to me. kinda cheap and outdated, which is weird cause i think the pixel 5 is one of the best looking phones of all time
Eum, I started thinking that it is actually not that good. Especially for pixel 6 when there is an orange color on the top, the wide camera bump, and another color on the bottom. See, like there is something inconsistency that can't be explained why. Moreover, the front display design that's seems to be outdated.
They look dope! Can't wait to see the camera quality
I love Google's focus on A11y (accessibility). As a product designer I greatly appreciate this. Accessibility design needs to keep getting pushed
it's got a nice pokeball color scheme, the visor looks great! or unique, at least
my first reaction was the price point of these was so much cheaper than i expected, and the specs between the base and the pro are so negligible that im super tempted to go with the base model this time. i've always gone with the XL version but the difference in size between these two really not that much at all. the spec jump from the 3XL to 6 is very nice on paper. So far from what i can tell, the Pro model is really just $300 extra bones for an extra camera. i cant wait for a more in depth look!
Not just an extra camera though ; the Pro has higher refresh rate screen(120hz vs 90hz), better resolution display (1440p vs 1080p), bigger battery. Also the bezels on the pro are much smaller than the vanilla 6.
@@gourabbhattacharjee1054 I've never owned anything with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz and since I'm coming from a Pixel 3XL I just figure a 90Hz seems like it would be enough of an improvement for me. The screen resolution though is an interesting point because it seems that with a slightly larger screen, the base model has a lower resolution compared to the 3XL. For me personally that seems to be the main drawback. Stuff like bezels and chins have never actually bothered me and is not something I take notice of especially since I'm always cased up. But yes, good points to bring up!
@@fretshr3dder He also didn't mention that the Pixel 6 has 8GB of Ram and the Pro has 12GB of Ram. The Pixel 6 has 3 years of support. The Pro has 5 years. The Pro will last you a lot longer.
@@darthpryce ah very true. RAM doesn't seem to be something I'm concerned with also though! Again, coming from a 3XL, the base 6 has so many hardware improvements and the difference between the base and the pro are too little to truly justify an additional $300 tag. I also am no longer the heavy power user that I used to be. Really I only care for the Pixel line because of the direct Google support and freshest Android experience
@@darthpryce where did they mention that? AFAIK both pixels will be getting 5 yrs of security updares
I guess they said "premium price" so that when they revealed the price people would go crazy
camera is not visible which is a nice touch.
Hopefully Zack won't be able to snap this one in half.
with a Stainless Steel frame most likely not
They should have put fillets on the camera visor so it would be a smooth transition instead of that dust-collecting crease. Maybe some crafty people can fill it up with epoxy or something to round it out.
Gotta keep it SHARP and ANGULAR for a COHESIVE DESIGN.
But yeah, would like to see cool tutorials for what you suggested.
Anyway we will be using a case!
I miss the days when the camera has no bump or bulky.
Then the back cover won't fit
like the nexus 6p?
MKBHD IS THE MAN , Much more watchable than Google event. Thank you for keeping it short and informative 👍🏽
Where is my Pixel 6 Pro full review video ???
probably not gonna be covered due to the stupid embargo google shot themselves in the foot with xD
Please make sure you cover the difference in the front facing cameras. Having a wider angle lens makes the megapixel difference more significant.
Yeah, and the aperture is different. Makes me wonder whether the pixel 6 pro camera is shittier in low light
the second time I have really liked the design of the pixels, first was 2xl
The 6 may be a better deal, but you can see the 6 Pro is his daily driver :) . All his apps are on the Pro.
I mean... he did get them both for free from Google, so-
5yrs wow that's a very good support
