- The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are the most controversial and polarizing phones of 2021. BUY PIXEL 6 HERE! shop-links.co/... (Affiliate Link)
The Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 Pro are fantastic phones, but they aren't perfect phones adn that's ok. What phone is actually perfect, right? I think that Google did a great job making the Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro and they offer a unique Android experience with a mostly solid camera and a lot of great a software and services that you can't get on other phones. Google is releasing a massive update to fix over 100 Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 pro bugs and issues and make the experience even better, which should make the phone as good as it should have been on launch and should fix a lot of the complaints. The Pixel 6 phones were definitely way overhyped for a long time before the phone came out and I don't think it quite lived up to the hype, but it has exceeded my expectations!

![PURPEECH - นี่ฉันเองคนที่... (It's me) [Official MV]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NuhHd0hOOg8/mqdefault.jpg)
The Pixel 6 (not Pro) was an upgrade for my wife's birthday. She had her last phone for the past 6 years and it was just too slow and would not hold a charge any more than half a day. For $599, minus a $200 credit from my provider, the Pixel 6 is a great deal and my wife has not had any problems with hers. I guess that she lucked out. No glitches or software issues since it arrived.
I have a Note 20 Ultra and she now rubs it in my face that she now has a camera that is just as good, if not, better than what I have.
This is the first Pixel that I've ever purchased and my wife is completely happy with it.
That’s great. I’m glad it’s working out so well for her.
This wife is happy too. I had been watching and reading reviews of anything Pixel and for Google Fi, for years - and I carefully made the switch, preparing to "go back!" if it was problematic. There's a learning curve and I knew to expect that it wouldn't be perfect - because of this pandemic, all supply materials are having issues everywhere and NOTHING is EVER perfect. I firmly believe that Google pushed it out before it was ready due to the pandemic and people's needs to purchase it for Christmas gifts (as mine was). If it wasn't available for Christmas gifting, other phones may have been purchased instead, so it was a market share-grab -- and risk -- by Google, pushing it out before it was perfectly ready for the high-end critics. It is better than fine for the average user, who make up the bulk of the sales. Complimenting the early push and making up for the problems some would encounter is an amazing customer service experience, which surprised me the MOST!!!!! Tech support is much better than I thought it would be. With my Samsung, my old phone, I'd have to get in the car and trudge to the local store - with this Pixel, I'm in my armchair asking questions. They also made up for some problems by offering great package deals with Fi. I have the "Pixel Pass" which provides me extra storage in Drive, Premium YT and Premium Music, and Play (which I'm not really using - is anyone?). The ONLY thing I wish it had is a plug so I can play music at church from it or use my existing earphones that I like. I have to use my older, slower phone when I need to plug in, but that works so - I can get by - which brings me to my point: I know for some people "getting by" isn't enough. They want the whole 9 yards each and every day, they want and expect speed and perfection - bullet trains over Amtrak, affordable Porsches over Fords, mansions not cabins. Well, folks, you make your life what it is. Be happy with your choices, be patient with your problems, and be kind to each other, particularly on the web. P.S. Facial recognition is a problem for those of us using glasses, or who, when driving, wear sunglasses, though if it's like the fingerprint and you can make several snaps of yourself in various eyewear, that would work. I constantly HATED the facial recognition on my old phone b/c sometimes I wear glasses and sometimes I don't.
@@joniljoseph2934 thanks
Thanks for keeping it in perspective when it comes to this phone. It's easy and understandable to get cranky when a new phone isn't perfect right out of the box. But I'm betting the pixel team is working hard to make things right. 🤞
Sure thing. I never my moments from time to time but I try to keep a balanced approach when I look at things. Thanks for watching
If you criticise a Pixel phone, Pixel fan boys just say, what about the iPhone problems, what about the Samsung problems.
If you’re buying a Pixel, be concerned about your own device, not other brands.
100% true. I get this on so many videos or comments. What about apple. What about Samsung. It’s a disease.
I think hype and expectations have largely impacted the perceived user experience for this particular phone. Granted this is not the first Pixel BUT it is the first in house top to bottom Google Pixel and for that I'll give them a pass on the few bugs I have experienced. On the whole you'd be hard pressed to find a better more complete Android phone for the price especially here in the US. I mean think about how polarizing the Essential PH1 was and how that phone and company got raked across the coals because of enthusiast expectations. It was a good phone that was almost a great phone before it's EOL. Let's see what this update does and see how it "matures" during it's lifecycle.
Great points
Mine is fine...working well. Glad I bought the Pixel 6 for several reasons over the Pro.
Nice! Glad to hear it.
I agree that the Pixel 6 is the best smartphone this year. Sold my iPhone 12 and got this bad boy today. It's almost night and day.
Nice! Glad your happy with it.
Thanks again for a great video.
My personal view .Sadly the phone had so many leaks before the launch it felt old before it came out . For the money it's a great phone sadly let down by the software on release. My other worry is people will be put off which would be a shame .
I own a Pixel 6. It's been great overall, however, the bugs definitely do exist. I've experienced most if not all the reported bugs and issues. Don't listen to those who say they have no issues... People who own and use this phone every day know what's going on. Fix the software Google, and fast. Hardware is solid.
If it's just software I have faith they will improve it through updates. I'm buying one tomorrow.
@@cosmicheretic8129 yeah I still wouldn't hesitate to buy one, best phone I've had.
The most controversial phone of 2021 is actually the New BlackBerry which didn’t happen…… sad news I know, but we have all been bugged about this despite many commitments. ;-()
Thanks for telling the truth for one of the best phones of this year.
We call those ppl keyboard warrior's
I have the pro version. I have experienced wifi drops, and a certain game I play will sometimes lag for a few seconds during game play. I still like the phone and I can't wait for the updates to see if these issues have been fixed.
Hopefully the update that started rolling out yesterday will fix these issues.
My 6pro has been super buggy from minor issues to major issues like not getting texts for hours.. stuck with it and it's worked out pretty well now
This.
Your perspective is spot on! Sure, the phones have issues. But don't they all?
Just in between, todd, you are a very attractive man. ❤️🌹
Hope many of the 100+ patches are for the camera, photo processing, and video. Many, many improvements are needed.
Samsung A72
Headphone jack, weather sealing, telephoto lens, stereo speakers, 90 hz refresh rate, headphones, CHARGER, AND SD CARD SLOT
This is the TRUE flagship killer
Since no word from Onward Mobility I think next year I may just go ahead and get the Pixel maybe Jan 2nd. Thanks for all the reviews and update
The pixel has a good price point, I think you get for what you are paying for and more. Compared to other phones at this price point it is by far the best.
I own both a Pixel and an iPhone and the peeve I have with the new Pixels is the size. Just not a fan of the 6.4 and 6.8 inch screens. Great video!
I agree. I came from a Z Flip 3 and I hate how big they are. Other than that though I don't have any complaints other than the finger print scanner is slow af mainly because of an animation and I refuse to just disable the animations.
That’s my only complaint is the size. Do you plan to keep yours?
@@nsp932 for a little while at least. I really love the camera on my pixel 6. I normally go through 3 to 5 phones a year but with the new tensor chip I may stick with the pixel 6 a bit longer. I expect software updates to make this phone get better and better.
I have not gotten any issues at all other than the signal issues which only occurs when I'm at work...besides that, it's been the best phone I've had so far, but I do wish they can fix this signal issue.
I got my phone 22 days after I ordered it, not the worst thing in the world and it got be me time to make sure I can transfer my stuff over
I've beeeeen needing to ask why did the "big TH-camrs" touch on it ONLY at launch and nothing since??
Because usually they only make one video and move on.
I have the connection issue with Pixel 6. It comes and go. Hopefully the Christmas update brings a permanent fix….
Hopefully. That would frustrate me so much.
I ended up being surprisingly disappointed by the pixel 6 pro despite wanting to be a pixel fanboy and loving the 1 and 2. Got an Oppo Find X3 Pro for the equivalent of $700 US including tax here in Australia and it's way better.
Yes. I have some bugs on my Pixel 6 Pro. Am waiting for the firmware update, which is scheduled end December.
Hi! Love your videos on the pixel 6 and pixel 6 pro. However one issue I'm having with my pro that hasn't been mentioned, is that Everytime I make a video call to somebody else, whether that be on WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, Instagram or any other platform, my selfie camera is extremely blurry and my face looks massive on the screen...... If somebody makes the video call to me, the selfie camera works perfectly well. I am unsure what issue this is and how to go about having it rectified. I'm hoping somebody else has the same problem and can maybe share!!!
Thank you. I had that issue with my 2 xl. No issues with my pixel 4a. It's why I'm still on the fence with the 6. Poor video messaging quality is a major disappointment.. hopefully they'll fix it.
I switched from apple to this phone and i have to say that it's not been easy because most of my stuff didn't transfer. But apart from having to redownload apps and re-enter passwords i think it's excellent and i have no regrets.
The differences between users (some getting bugs, some not) are because of the Tensor chip. The AI is reacting to what you are doing and clicking the same thing under different circumstances will trigger different effects on the phone. The bugs are there and if you are not experiencing it, don't be sad and keep trying. You will eventually see them as well. I've had camera bugs, speaker bugs (while in a conversation with someone over the phone or on WhatsApp), frozen phone bugs, and probably the most important, battery bug (discharging overnight over 10%, no apps active, no always-on display). It's a nice phone, but it's not there yet. They released it too fast and we act like beta-testers, but instead of getting paid, we pay them to do it.
Artificial dumbness
I always do clean initial start ups... I have no software glitches. Just waiting for the fingerprint scanner update. (Pixel 6.... not a curved glass kind of guy).
I do think this helps.
Every phone has it's hardcore fans and naysayers. It's just that this one, there was so much hype for the Pixel 6's. I have it and love it. There are a few things that I've complained to Google about and from what I can tell, they are about to fix most if not all of those issues.
There was a ton of hype for this phone and it was dragged out for months
I was forced to upgrade 2 phones b/c CDMA support is going away for Sprint. For my use cases, chose the Pixel 6 Pro after comparing available devices and options. After 1 week of use, so far, this is the best Android phone I have used. The jury is still out for my wife simply b/c it's different than what she had which means she has to get accustomed to the differences. I also have an iPhone 11 Pro Max but don't compare iOS vs Android b/c I like things about both. I used to reach for the iPhone 1st but have been picking up the Pixel lately, maybe b/c it's new. I have nothing to complain about and I am very much into technology but am not a demanding phone user.
You'll also not see any other Android manufacturer push out over a hundred software fixes in one update. You gotta give credit where it's do
The opposite side of the argument is that other android manufacturers don’t release phones that need over 100 things fixed in one update.
@@TechOdyssey or if they do they'll either never release it "S20 Ultra camera" or they'll release the patches slowly. I was just pointing out I don't think other manufacturers are capable of such a thing besides apple.
I think the pixel 5a for $399 is the best deal. If it only had a 90 hertz refresh rate it's game over
I own a pixel 6 Pro and I'm not very happy with the battery. Apart from the battery. Overall performance is very good. I love this device but only the battery makes me hate this device. Hopefully the December security update will bring some updates to the battery. I'm not too sure why my phone drains the battery so fast.
My biggest problem with the pixel 6 is the non Qualcomm modem (and yes i knew it ahead of time)
Always on point! Thank you.
Thank you
What phone is 100% I totally agree with you on this 💯🇮🇪😎
U had a thought……hummmmmmm I’m suspicious 🤨
I love your videos your funny jokes bring me up thanks love your reviews and opinions!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoy them.
Thanks for the video. I'm loving the Pro. It has replaced my KeyOne, so the only thing it is missing is a keyboard!
Spot on and considered view points here. At least you keep it real
Thank you
@@TechOdyssey You're most welcome Dude. Your honesty and integrity has made you my favourite TH-cam creator in the tech world. Keep up the great work!
Team Pixel think every phone is rubbish apart from Pixels.
Great video again bro!
Thank you.
My pixel 5 had more bugs than the 6 pro does now. I love my pro
My order of the Pixel 6 pro was shipped today. I forgot to cancel the order. I hope its good one.
Uh oh. Well, I think it’s a good phone. I guess you’ll find out soon whether you like it.
how long ago did you order the phone?
The American market is very limited. For 599 there are plenty phones available such as the superb OnePlus Nord 2 and the Poco F3.
Sure. But you also have to take into consideration warranty, repairs, chrome service, network compatibility, network bands, 5G, etc… it’s not so simple as apples to oranges.
@@TechOdyssey Why is it not so simple? Repairs, Warranties, 5g, network compatibility is not an issue over here with any handset that retails over here. As I say, we just have more options here in the UK.
@@sjstu I'm saying it's different here in the U.S. I agree with you that internationally there are much more options.
@@TechOdyssey 599 is great in the US, not so much here in the UK. I am enjoying my pixel 6 but I also enjoyed the phones I mentioned. I would go as far to say the Nord 2 is midrange phone of the year at £400.
I just stick to samsung have never had any problems with any of my samsung phones
Love my pixel 6 had it a few days like it better than my z fold 2 kinda lol love to see a long detailed review of the duo 1 vs duo 2 vs any of the z folds
So Adam, Pixel 6 or S21 if price weren't an issue? Curious.
I prefer the pixel 6, but both are excellent phones
@@TechOdyssey Thanks. It's a moot question now. I ordered the P6 in black. Going to reaquaint myself with Android. It's been awhile. lol
Don't own a 6 or 6 Pro but have been very hesitant still to update my 4a 5g to 12. Thinking I should probably just bite the bullet and do it 😕. Probably do a factory reset just to be in the safe side
I *downgraded* to the pixel 6 from a Galaxy S9 because I didn't want to pay the projected $900 for a Samsung S22 with luxuries I didn't necessarily need. Wow I should have waited and spent the extra money. I hate almost everything about this phone. The finger print reader is super slow and finicky compared to my 4 year old S9, I can't change the clock style, the volume buttons are right below the power button so I keep mixing them up, the phone is too big, the camera is SUPER fuzzy, I can't remove the stupid Google search bar from my home screen, and the OS is full of bugs. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this phone. I'm afraid if I return it that I won't be able to get a new Samsung due to supply chain issues. I expected much better from Google. I hope they come out with updates that smooth these issues out
aren't most of those complaints kind of minor or subjective 🤔
@@USArmy91222 I guess younare right except for all the software bugs. I thought they were really bad
how does the 1080 screen seem to you? that's my only reservation about getting this phone, my current phone
has a Quad HD display..
@@USArmy91222 I thought the display was just fine. Pretty bright despite what other reviewers are saying. I just didn't like how big the phone was, plus I was having all sorts of glitches and I didn't like how you cant really customize it as much as a Samsung, so I returned it and am now going to wait for the S22 to come out
Sorry but none of these phones is phone of the year it's either the galaxy s21 ultra or zfold 3
I wanted to buy the pixel 6, but no face unlock in 2021? Even my old galaxy s8+ has that and iris unlock
Can you imagine if the Pixel 6a had a back made of the amazing material of the 5/5a and of similar size but maybe at the hands of sacrificing wireless charging and sold for $499 USD? Could have been a game changer!
Ah well I'm sure they'll get it right with the Pixel 7 and go worldwide.
This year is over next month so then bye google Pixel 😂
😂😂😂
Wallpaper 5 link doesn't work!
i got the lg v 60 for 318 new beat that haha
Nice! It’s a great phone.
@@TechOdyssey yep saw your review subscribed btw great job man
@@fernandosalazar730 awesome. Glad it was helpful. Welcome aboard and thanks for watching.
Love the pixel 6 pro!
Me too
Pictures are horrible on the 6
I disagree with that
@@TechOdyssey I had one and returned it .. pictures wasn’t as good .
I had many apps force close on me the first few hours I used my p6.
are you still having those problems?
I love it 😁
Let's be honest here like LG phone's every single issue the pixel has is front and center in every review literally everything even rumoured issues.
Were as with apple and Samsung they don't talk about the issues until the next generation comes out then there's all these amazing fixes that had to happen because without them your phones Garbage.
