#Google #Pixel6 #Pixel6RealDeal
This is the go-to place for Pixel enthusiasm and news. And you are the go-to guy! Happy birthday and keep grinding! I really appreciate your input and expertise on Pixels and smartphones in general. I'm only about a year in with Pixel phones. Had the 4a5g before I got the Pixel 6. These phones are good and the software is excellent! I hate this is happening to Google and all the folks who are having problems with their Pixel phones. I hope everything gets ironed out and this doesn't hurt Google too bad, in the long run. Thanks again, Adam! And Happy birthday 🎂😎
Thank you. Jay. I appreciate it.
Wow ...I'm truly impressed by the number of videos you pump out on average 10 to 15 min long regarding the Pixel. You've been on the top of my TH-cam page every day. You work, get that money. 😉😁
♥️🎯
Preach
For the most part my Pixel 6 Pro has been pretty solid. That being said I totally agree with you that Google did a spectacular job on keeping us in the dark and I really hope that they learn from this mistake and don't repeat it.
I'm really loving my Pixel 6 now that the connection issues have been resolved. The only intermittent issue that really annoys me is ambient display not responding to touch sometimes when I take the phone out of my pocket or off the pixel stand. (I have lift to check phone turned off and tap to check phone turned on). When the bug occurs, I'll touch the fingerprint scanner on ambient display and nothing happens. Double tapping the screen does nothing either. You have to click the power button to wake up the screen and then it works. Restarting the phone seems to prevent it from happen again for a while. It seems to happen after using the pixel stand.
Your videos on the Pixel and the January update gave the information I needed to make an informed decision. Just ordered an unlocked Pixel 6 yesterday. Do I expect connectivity issues? No. Do I expect it to be perfect in every way? No. Software is a very complicated beast, and not just on phones.
Well said
Awesome. Glad I could help.
You're up early! Good to watch you update us. PS...I love my 6 too...I do use the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case because I love the colors as well...but need to be safe per drops...
I want to congratulate you on your objective and fair videos. I have a Pixel 6 Pro unlocked brought directly from Google and used on the T-Mobile network. I haven't noticed any major problems with my phone. Yes the fingerprint sensor was problematic at first. I registered both my thumbs twice and helped minimize the problem. The January also improved the fingerprint sensitivity. Other than that I love this phone and keep it in a clear case by Ghosttek so as not to hide the great design of this phone. I'm not as tech savvy as yourself or MKBHD so there might be some situations that escape me but nothing that has impeded my usage of this phone and I use it for everything.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thanks for the support and watching my videos.
I got pixel 6 last week. I thought it was ok and compared to my S9+ it is a definitely an improvement. I don't know why people are complaining 😂
That’s a nice upgrade. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Did you miss the 1440p screen? And how's the front camera video quality? I'm making the same upgrade from the same phone. Can't wait
I set my S9+ at 720 if I remember correctly due to playing games and I need the screen display to be fast and save battery. I really don't care for 1440...720 look ok to me just fine. I don't use too much camera. Pictures look good. I set my frame to 60hz to save battery. It really doesn't matter to me. Set everything to bare minimum. 🤷
@@592Johno I don’t miss it at all. I really can’t tell a difference. The selfie camera is better on the 6 Pro, but I gain to think the one on the 6 is fine and likely will Much improved over your S9+.
Following, as I want to upgrade my S9 (not S9+). The Pixel 6 will definitely be a good upgrade?
Thank you for taking a measured approach to your reviews. I enjoy them very much 🙂
I have always enjoyed your coverage of the Pixel series. Keep on telling people the good and the bad and keeping them informed no matter what anyone says. 😎
Thanks for the clarification. I was more or less speaking for someone who may have only watched one video and doesn't know you really enjoy the Pixel for the most part. I probably rushed to judgement a bit. Keep up the good work.
Amazing inputs. This guy talks real. He never spits out bullshit. I just. Notice that from watching is last videos. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you.
The worst fan boys are the ones that says stuff like, Apple sucks, or Samsung sucks. They have no constructive input.
♥️🎯
Yup.
Thanks for your updates. I've got a Pixel 3 and have been getting "new phone envy". But: other than the battery not quite being as good as it used to be, it's working for me. I'll keep an eye on the 6.
You’re very welcome.
Great video! I'm going to give it one more update cycle before I upgrade from my 4a 5g to the Pro.
The January update has ironed out a lot of the issues that I had. It's pretty awesome and I'm glad I made the purchase for the pro.
Yeah. It fixed things for a lot of people, thankfully
Haha, the end was great!
Of course, you're going to give it to us straight. That's one of the reasons I like your vids.
Thanks, Todd!
I've followed your video for several episodes about Pixel. I gravitate to see your opinion because you present the matter just like it is.
Thanks a lot.
I picked up the pixel 5 on back market for $260. Made the best decision returning my pixel 6. Saved some money and got a proven processor in the long run. No regrets. Pixel 5 is a beast.
People are too entitled to complain about everything. If you have too much time to look for problems on a phone then you really need a real job, hobby,or something to keep you occupied. If your phone can't make calls and all the obvious things you need your phone for then I get it. Don't complain about every little thing. I have a pixel 6 pro and I love this phone. I have not had any issues.
Fair points for sure , very informative video. Happy birthday
Another great vid covering the Pixel 6 from Tech Odyssey. Thanks for keeping everyone up to date. For my Pixel 6, the January update squashed almost all the bugs I've had. Still have the green tint to the screen at low brightness levels on a dark background, but it's barely noticeable and definitely not worth worrying about.
Battery performance after a few days under the January update has seen a modest improvement - I can have 5G on all day and make it to bedtime with 10-15% battery left on moderate to heavy use days.
One thing to note is that in general on the internet you tend to hear a lot more from people who have issues, than from people who don't. This gives the appearance of a majority of people having issues when in fact its almost always a vocal minority.
You don't have to justify your opinion/review for the sensitive section. I purchased one after all the negative reviews because I wanted one. Everyone is not having the same issues. Keep doing what you're doing and stay true to you. Don't mind the "Pixel Patriots". Majority of us get it and ride with you. For the Pixel fanboys=Pixel Patriots, get over it. I love the Pixel 6Pro.
Pixel fans are known as the "Google Gangstas" according to Flossy Carter lol.
The Goostoppo Gang
Happy Birthday Adam… May your tribe 📱grow
Thank you. I appreciate it but I already have 6 kids. We don’t need a bigger tribe at this point. 😂😅
You’re 💯 correct when you say that the phone was dropped too soon. I’ll wait a few months after launch before buying a P7
Loving my Pixel 6 best value for the $$$
No issues, first pixel I've had. I've used iPhone 5c-8, note10, s21, fold3.
First off I wanna say I love your channel. I'm new to the pixel 6 phone . Coming from Samsung Galaxy phones. I must say at the very beginning I had some connectivity issues but eventually after the update seem like it had gotten better. I'm glad I found your channel and subscribed to it because you keep it real sir .
Thank you so much. I’m glad you found my channel, and thank you for the support.
Rachel, how do you find the experience coming from a Galaxy phone? I've had a number of Galaxy phones now in a row, currently using a Note9 (honestly this phone has been terrible with tons of issues). I would like to go with a Pixel 6 Pro next and am curious how those that switched from Galaxy phones like it.
@@LetsDIYIt I actually love the experience of using the Pixel phone . Don't get me wrong I'm still a fan of the Galaxy s series , but with the Pixel there is no bloatware and I like that. Also, The camera is phenomenal. That's another thing that I like about the Pixel. I think I'm going to hang on to the Pixel for a while . The P7 sounds like it's going to be a amazing phone as well whenever it does come out , but I'll just hang on to the 6 for now since there is a guaranteed 5-year security update.
Because of you buddy I kept my 6 till the update, and thank God finally 🙏🏼
Very cool. Glad I could help.
I appreciate anyone that can give great, unbiased opinions and reviews. I admit, I am a bit worried about this phone, as it is the one I've focused on for my next phone. I store a decent amount locally on my phone so I want the 512GB, which limits me to the pro, which is not available anywhere at the moment. Hoping they fix more issues before it becomes available. I am bummed as I do NOT want another huge phone (coming from a Note9 which is smaller than it). Still, it has the features and I do hobby photography and like having a good camera on me all the time, to go along with my dslr. It seems like a great device with software issues, fingers crossed it all gets ironed out. Lastly, I really wish they would still offer card slots for expanded memory. It's increasingly frustrating how much these companies take features away in the name of "improvement" when it's all about forcing you to use their services they charge for.
The most annoying thing about the phone? The people who defend it at all costs who didn't have issues, attacking those who do as though we're a political enemy or something. I personally find it hilarious for people who are barely 3 phones deep into Android who downplay the legitimate concerns. I had a Gmail account (back during invite only beta) before many of them were born. I've stuck with Google through Glass, Reader's death, Google+ privacy breach, and their wifi scanning fiasco. And they wanna come at people like us and say we're just anti-Google? If they think all of Google = a phone, they're not a real fan of the coding work done by them, never was, never will be. And this Hyper-fanboyism is why Apple got away with waiting years to add copy/paste, and they get hoisted on shoulders for something that was crap to leave out. If you can't hold a company accountable when they screw up, they learn they can sell you short for years. BTW, hows that USB-C charger coming, Apple hyper-fans? Why would anyone want to immitate that, Google fans? Why?
People have to understand that a lot of technology is rushed due to demand. Problems occur with every bit of technology. A lot of things we ignore but if we are to do a full scale experience we have to be honest about everything about the product. You're doing a good job. Keep up the good work. Also we can't forget that Google can push many things out, they're in control of this chip and OS. It's the very first version of this tensor chip. Corrections can be made. Maybe not to the hardware but let's be honest, no one thinks it's the hardware.
Dude, Thank you so much for these updates. Happy Birthday to you . You are doing great. I have been a pixel user for a few years now. It just fits my lifestyle and you are right , the network issues drive me crazy and annoy the crap out of me. I do love the phone and the experience. I am not thinking about getting rid of the phone. I am certainly tempted to get a 4a5g or 5a as a backup if the network issue get worse.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
Thanks for all your coverage. I was considering a pixel 6 but I think with all the issues ill wait for the 7 lol Appreciate the balanced coverage.
My pixel 6 Pro is still getting warm even while just browsing. Yes I did Jan update too. And the battery is still the same as when I bought it. But I noticed a huge improvement in finger print Senser.
This is my favourite tech channel now. Everyone else i find irritating nowdays but this channel is so straight to the point and honest. Good work my friend.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the support.
I like my Pixel six and I agree with you about Google rushed Android 12 and this phone 📱. One thing I don't like is that they marketed this phone as customizable and you can't remove the search from the bottom of the screen. I hate it! Put it in the Google feed to the left where it belongs. Yes they dropped the ball with the updates and rushing this phone, but hopefully going forward with each month, it should get better. 👍🏾
Yeah. That stupid google search bar is ridiculous
I don't get why some people are blindly defending these corporations while they are screwing them.
I like Samsung devices but they are similar to other corporations crooks who don't give a damn to me. They just want my money and when I need their customer service, they just show the middle finger. Instead, people should start filing class action lawsuits. Why paying for something which isn't working right and not being fixed. I'm a chevy fan, but I'm so happy to see a very hefty class action lawsuit is going after them. They screwed up millions with faulty lifters.
We all as consumers should do this to any of these corporations.
It sucks that you have to justify your position. I always find your videos objective and interesting. And often learn fixes and great advice. I have the 6 Pro and I do love it but it does have problems mainly around finger print sensor, battery performance and chip perf. I haven't had many bugs tbh but I feel for those experiencing so many issues. I'm in the UK on a 5G network. Bring on the BlackBerry 5G!
Must say, I went out & bought the Pixel 6 Pro, 1st Pixel ever for me, I've always had 2 phones as I travel across Europe all the time for work, 1 has always been Apple (currently the 1tb 13 Pro Max) and the other android of various manufacturers ! I must say, I'm glad that I wasn't put off by some of the negative reviews, the Pixel really is a great phone & has a lot of tricks up its sleeves, its lighter than the iPhone too which surprises me with its enormity, but so far, I'm really, really impressed ! No network issues with O2 in UK but as I head to Florence, Italy on Monday, I'll see how it copes on EU roaming !
I want to stay with the regular Pixel 6, but unfortunately I'm one of the few people who notice the difference between 90hz and 120hz which bugs me when I used the 6 (or maybe it was the throttling making it look worse than it really is). First world problems I know but it is what it is lol
I had to go with the pro! I do a lil photography and really like using the telephoto for portraits!
I get it! When you plunk down hard earned cash you have certain expectations. The more you spend the bigger the expectations and for some people that gap is too wide to make the decision to leap into a device you won't ultimately be happy with. That said, if Google is able to successfully squash the annoying bugs perhaps they will once again win your heart over.
I set it to 60hz it really doesn't bother me at all
I switched from OnePlus 8T 120hz to Google Pixel 6 90hz and I genuinely cannot tell the difference.
November update is fine and january update is fine so im still very happy with my pixel and it comes down to the software what makes this phone stand out.
Am having the Unlocked Pixel 6 since December 15 had done the December and January update am in India on a AIRTEL 4G LTE I have had no issues so far with the mobile . My previous Google mobile was the Nexus 5
I am really excited for every new video u put out about the the pixel 6. I wouldnt consider myself a fanboy of the pixel. But i am considering to buy it or not.
Hopefully the videos are helpful for you.
I have a sorta seafoam Pixel 6 I bought from Verizon on launch day. Luckily, I haven't had any issues at all the entire time I've had it. Although, I did not do the December update, I went from November to January update. It's been perfect for me.
Nice. That’s great.
Thanks for all your info on the pixel 6 your regular updates kept me from chucking the phone in the bin. Hopefully the phone only gets better from now on.
You’re welcome. Glad I could help.
Good phone, but I do wish the battery could get close to the iPhone 13 pro max. Other than that I love the pixel 6pro I got. I grabbed a great deal with trade and got it for $300 so I am happy I went with the pro
After the update my 6 is fine, I didn't have the signal issue even before the update.. Another fair great video, the phone I think will just get better over time.. The o only thing I wish Google would do is to take a page out of Apple's book and release updates more than just once a month...
Just subscribed you do a fair assessment of highlighting pros and cons of this phone and you are right I have seen a lot of the complaints seem to be with the pro but unfortunately the pixel 6 gets lumped in with it. The price point of the Pixel was the determining factor for me to purchase cause I could do without the telephoto on the pro cause I have a moment lens if I need zoom. You helped me finalize my decision in buying it though thank you.
Thanks a lot. Welcome aboard! Glad I could help.
Just updated with the January update and I have to say performance is much improved
Only fault with my Pixel 6 was not connecting to mobile networks after December update, now I can make calls as the latest update has cured the problem,
Other wise everything works well and battery life is excellent, keep doing your videos as you are reporting problems that happen and affect a devices operation,
If a particular device has major design/manufacturing faults it’s best to know and possibly avoid buying it.
My pixel 6 thank God 🙏 is working perfect!
Great! Glad to hear it.
Google should have put Android 11 on it and put out Android 12 as an update option. Google QC is terrible. It’s like Google said, "put Android 12 on it and ship it out”, we’ll fix it later. I decided to turn on my Pixel 2 XL. I fell back in love with it. Its buttery smooth like it should be and still takes amazing pics. I’m just gonna have a new battery put in it and use it as a secondary phone
That probably would have been smoother but they wanted to showcase the new software with the phone.
@@TechOdyssey true
Thank you, you should be open, honest and critical of any device. Some content creators who receive phones from the manufacturers don’t say anything negative even if they are having problems. I agree Android 12 was not ready and thats where they blew it. Not being transparent and not acknowledging there is a problem was not good. Yes no phone is perfect, remember when Apple was having problems. Thank you for everything and Happy Birthday!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching. And thank you again.
Truly enjoy your content.
Thank you
The Pixel 6 is my first Pixel and I'm really disappointed. Bad display, weird bugs, bad battery life. Can't wait to trade this in.
On my P6 the drop call problem was fixed by turning off WiFi Calling and the messages not been delivered by turning off RCS back to regular SMS. Because my contacts don't have RCS so technically not a bug. Hope it helps if anyone is having the same issue.✌️
I fixed my connection issues the same way. Wifi calling off, and now it's working much better. I think the January issue added a wifi calling bug. Hopefully they fix it with the next update.
Every company will make mistakes. Technology is a tough market.
Guess I just got lucky. I have the T-Mobile variant and it works perfectly. So far there's no issues.
Pixel 6 video everyday!
Should be named pixel 6 channel ❤️
Nah. Tomorrow is not a pixel video lol 😂
Arguably, one could conclude that you wouldn't spend the time with the device and calling out your issues if you hated or disliked it.
The problem is the black and white way of seeing everything...one can love a device and still criticize it
Exactly
Some people are just so narrow-minded with their thinking that it's hard for them to see things from another point of view.
My issue is that I think this is overblown Samsung and apple have bugs ( my friend was having issues with his iPhone 12 on iOS 15 with calls and texts took apple a month to get it worked out) all the time and seem to get less coverage than the pixel 6 series these issues are few a far between. Defective units are shipped out it happens at this point RMA the phone and get another unit. Not all pixel users are having these issues.
Correct. Not all users are having the issues, which is one of the problems.
@@TechOdyssey and wHere are the tech reviewers for these issue with Samsung or apple seem to be a double standard do they get a pass when there are defective units shipped out to consumers why are people keeping a phone that's not working RMA the device and be done with it
@@towerdragon4487 who knows. I don’t worry worry about other peoples channels.
Don't let the trolls deter you from telling the truth I'mma be honest I found you only because I got the pixel 6 pro and I'm shocked how you're the only reviewer actually keeping updates with the pixel issues.
Because of that I trust you now more than I trust most of the reviewers.
Happy Birthday 💐🎉
Thank you!
I guess I'm going to hold out and hope updates keep coming to fix the minor issues I am experiencing.
What are your issues ?
Look at samsung; they just finally fixed their s21 ultra. It shouldn't take that long, though. It makes me skeptical about what the software will be like on the s22 ultra 🤔
@@imbalancedstatus8824 waze screen using android auto is blurry. my quicken app won't let me save any transactions.
Watching this with my pixel 6
On the note of the signal loss I have the galaxy flip 3 and me and the wife both run it on 4glte instead of 5g ,Saves battery we think because it's constantly hunting for 5g on 4g it great
Thanks for you're enthusiasm! Don't worry about the fanboys. There will always be one specially when a new Pixel comes out. Yes I know that this is the worst launched of the pixel, but it has gotten better. People forgot the options they have to return or selling it if it doesn't work for them. Every time I get a new Pixel I always just check the build quality and I just leave the rest to Google! Yes I'm a Nexus/Pixel user for a while, every few years I'll get an iphone just to see what's happening inside that walled garden. Anyway keep the videos coming! So far one thing I'm only seeing after the update , my battery seem to just drain a tad more which I believe the mobile network is the culprit. I love my P6. Looking forward for Feb update already.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate the support!
@@TechOdyssey what percent is your mobile network in the battery department? Mine is 40-47% And I'm on wifi all day.
@@umpa916 I would have to look but that’s super high. I sound try to reset your network settings and try reinstalling the carrier services app
@@TechOdyssey I'll try that thank you. But yeah when you get a chance let me know what yours say.
Agree completely - I love my Pixel6 - but oh boy Google tested my loyalty - but then I'm a Nexus fanboy - and there is my take I always thought this should have been a Nexus for the fanboys - and if general consumers came on board for the ride - then fine - that's the price you pay for being ahead of the rest.
But Goog sold this as a polished product - its far from
PS Months ago I predicted Tensor 2 and Pixel 7 will be AWESOME
:)
Let's call pixel fan boys pixelneers, pixel + pioneers lol. I'll start by being the first pixelneer 😂 love the phone and have had no problems with it
Haha. Nice
I consider myself a pixel fanboy but I can also accept the criticism. The Pixel 6 is an amazing phone but it just have software issues.
It will be great once it gets the kinks worked out.
I love Google but they completely missed the boat on this one.
Boat is still moored
"COMPLETELY MISSED" is an over dramatization! COMPLETELY means every single thing about the P6P is not there!
BTW! My P6P is and has been stellar!
The inconsistency with issues is a major problem. Several people have issues that aren’t experienced by others. The common issue can be fixed faster. I am really starting to feel the hardware quality checks at manufacturing is the culprit. Honestly hoping that its not this way
Yeah. It's worrisome, for sure.
It's tempting to think this thing is DOA but we've seen other companies rebound. Samsung was able to resuscitate the Note when it was literally melting down. I think the big question that will determine success is how many people buying the Pixel are casual users vs those like us that follow the tech closely.
I've used iphone before and the pixel 6 pro was the reason I switched it's an amazing phone and I haven't had problems with bugs
Nice!
I'm a hold out for Samsung S22 pro or plus whatever the middle phone will be called. Here's a name Pixelychophants. But your right... its a phone its going to get better... people do need to be less negative.
usually good information but lately the discussions are very redundant.
🌹💙 Thank you for your honesty and for keeping us in the know! I’m still going to be a “Pixelite” 😆 and buy the Pixel 6 in the near future. I would’ve bought the Z Flip 3, but its smaller battery swayed me from choosing that one. (A question for you in your next Pixel update: Should we purchase an extra warranty or additional insurance or similar on these? Because of possible ongoing issues.) Always excited to see your videos. Stay awesome beautiful person;-) Bright Blessings! 🌞🙏
The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are awesome phones, Google on the other hand has changed, if you want a replacement unit you get 1 and if that is faulty too you are out of luck, and that is not the bad part, the bad part is pushing out a product that is not ready, we as the customers are testers right now, another bad thing is if you aint in the 15 countries that Google like you will not get LTE+ VoLTE VoWifi or 5g without root and editing of firmware files, which to now is not know yet how to do on 6 and 6 Pro (5g that is, the other stuff you can get)
I am trying to sell my phone and it is hard as people dont want a 4g only phone at this price, they want 50% discount cause of no 5g.
i would appreciate an "in-service" on the pixel 6 photo "in motion" feature. do i follow the subject in motion? do i hold the shutter button the whole time, what is it? thanks
I changed covers and my fingerprint scanner is working perfectly. It doesn't always read it first time, but it reads it nonetheless. My auto rotate had stopped working but now fixed in Jan update. UK Pixel 6 user. I do get system UI error message very rarely still, and Twitter also crashes after a few minutes. Other than that, it is perfect for me.
Pixel people is the name of the followers
Android 12 still have minor bugs. I faced like sometimes the notification panel background becomes transparent. Sometimes the display goes dim when closing the bubble. Other things are going well.
Yes. It’s still not perfect yet
Good points, but concerning quality control: Most of the time it's not the people actually doing the work (designers, engineers, developers, quality control) that rush things out. Most of the time, it's being pushed from the top (C-level executives to directors to managers) to hit arbitrary launch dates. They see the engineering and quality control teams as being too cautious, and often times they are. If they do their job well, like a good coach, they push their teams to achieve the most in the least amount of time without stressing them to the point of demotivation, burnout, disgruntlement, or toxicity. I have never worked for Google, or any tech giant, but I have been in the tech industry for over 20 years and have seen both sides of this balance. Largely, the Pixel 6 is a success. At least they aren't exploding like Samsung phones 5 years ago. Now, that is a CRITICAL ISSUE.
It was a critical issue and it was also pulled from the market and responded to very quickly, and had to do with the battery's. This is an inherent risk in battery power technology and only actually affected a small number of phones, probably the single digits before it was pulled. Everyone likes to jump on this wagon with whataboutism do justify how a different phone company is less liable or "not as bad" as it is.
I agree with everything in this video
People have a hard time separating the Company from the actual Device. The phones are amazing but Google themselves kinda dropped the ball with their own products. Alot of viewers have very selective hearing when it comes to tech news.
Also, I read one comment where someone said "I don't have any problems, people complain too much". Such a bad mindset for someone to have.
Good review I heard a lot of people are having problems with this phone.
A few are at least. Unsure how many exactly but seems like at least 20% from a poll I ran
From a logical standpoint, not everyone is mature enough to understand context, so you can just brush off those who can't seem to reconcile "issues" with "personal preferences/personal experience". Just keep the content coming because those who want unbias context will benefit from it.
Are Blackberry cracks considered rude? 😉 Happy birthday!
Lol. Thank you
I love my pixel 6 but my biggest issue I have is battery life. And it seems like it gets worse and worse. Adaptive battery isn't doing me any good. Maybe I'm more of a power user than I thought I was. My system UI would stop working a lot but it seems that got fixed with the update. Other than battery life tho I love my pixel.
I pretty consistently get 5-6 hours of screen on time on mine. What does your screen on time look like?
I just ordered my Pixel 6 to replace my LG G6 which is almost six years old. I'm not a gamer, or selfie person, I wanted a solid phone that wasn't Apple or Samsung, I guess you can say I'm not following the big guys and their fan base. I started looking into online reviews of what will be best for my situation and found the Pixel. Reviews - I've watched a lot of them - read a lot of them and, for me a non-techy person this phone looked like what I wanted. Nothing is perfect, Apple and Samsung isn't perfect, they really aren't. I don't read the troll hate reviews, they mean nothing. I read the pros and cons that are honest and not slamming the product or the reviewers. I know what I want/need and I don't have to spend thousands of dollars to get it. I'm excited to get my mint green Pixel 6. Will there be a learning curve, I'm sure there will be, but because of folks like you Adam and your honest reviews I'm sure I'll get through it. Thanks and Boo to the trolls. Happy Birthday.
Happy birthday my guy 🎂🎈🎉🎁
Thank you!
Coming from Samsung Note Line, my only issue is having to relearn how to use Google Android.
I wish the camera app had more user control or Pro mode
I absolutely agree that Google rushed this phone for the holiday season. They should have taken the time and fixed the issues they had and avoided all the grief.
Yup. Totally
The only reason that I bought pixel 6 is because you recommended it. I love the phone and this is the third generation that I had. But I am having problems with texting , connectivity with Bluetooth, in the finger sensor. But I really love the phone and the price is unbeatable. Thank you for recommending it . Hopefully Google can fix all these problems, eventually.
I returned my Pixel 6 within the 14 day period due to the fingerprint scanner being terrible. I'm looking at the S22 Ultra now.
I don’t blame you at all.
Stop crapping on the Pixel. Google is gonna break your legs. 😂
Lol. I don’t crap on Pixel. They might try. They’ll probably get the address wrong.
I have owned pixel 6 pro pixel 6 iPhone 13 pro Samsung Galaxy s21 ultra .and the pixel 6 felt like it was not finished the software was just not up to par with Samsung and Apple so I returned my pixel 6 pro and went back to my Galaxy s21 ultra . 21 ultra runs absolutely flawless this coming from a pixel fan boy # disappointed
I’m glad my S10 doesn’t go beyond Android 11.😂
it does
@@me5425 it doesn’t mate, categorically. It’s stopped at Android 11.
@@me5425 Aoologies, I just checked. You are right, but it must be a change of heart because up until recently,, it wasn't going to get it.
@@Gary0557 It's been slated for Android 12 for quite some time. Many articles to look at. At least you didn't stand with your disinformation and corrected it.
@@alexanderrahl482 I’m not counting on getting Android 12 for a while, it took Samsung and my network months to get Android 11.
You know it's odd how many people get defensive and or are in complete agreement with tech reviews/reviewers. They don't consider that the overwhelming majority of content creators are just enthusiasts and not hardware/software engineers. People it's a person's specific usage case experience that's being shared, no more no less. 😄
