Review embargos lifted. Glowing reviews everywhere. Even Apple biased Max Weinbach (apparently? That's what I read lol) is super impressed.

And apparently it fixes the crappy Instagram/Snapchat native camera thing that lots of androids seem to have problems with lol

I'm still concerned about the 5G capabilities of the phone.

It's using the same modem from the international Galaxy S20.

Zero documentation on the chip that was used in that phone and still none since then. All we know is that it's a modification of that chip and it might be piss poor for US carriers.

If the Pixel isn't future proof that's going to be a problem.

I wonder if this Pixel lets you take pics at the full native 50 mp? Capturing at the binned 12 mp will maximize light sensitivity and minimize noise, but those 50 mp shots could be good for landscape pics under ambient lighting conditions.

On my Note, I have the choice to select 12 mp (where I normally keep it at) or the full 108 mp for maximum detail. It's almost like having another camera lens.

Google 6 pro and iphone 13 camera face off

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/pixel-6-pro-vs-iphone-13-pro-which-phone-has-the-better-camera

Overall, iPhone 13 has a bigger telephoto range (gets more in the picture), but pixel 6 pro has a better/more zoom and better day shooting. Did night shooting, pixel 6 pro is brighter, but iPhone 13 is more sharp and offers more contrast.

Spigen has never failed me. I don't even have a screen protector for my 2XL and I've dropped it many times in 4 years, but never got my screen cracked.

I do recommend a screen protector though, and not from Google.

How are you getting a regular 6 for free?

You just gotta weigh your options. Pro has

-2k display and 120hz. Up from 1080p and 90hz.
-Pro's screen size is 6.7 vs regular's 6.4 inches
-Pro has 12GB Ram and slightly bigger battery life
-Pro has an additional 48 MP telephoto lens which offers 4x optical zoom camera, and the front camera goes up to 12 MP vs 6's 8.

The bigger screen and bigger battery likely won't matter that much. Regular pixel 6 runs in a 1080p screen after all. I also personally don't care that it goes up to 120hz for the Pro model. So to me, only thing I really really like on the Pro, is the 2k display and the zoom shots. Regular can do 2x Zoom, but it's going to lose detail. While Pro does 4x Zoom and detail is really good.

There might be some performance differences due to more RAM and maybe slightly better battery life besides that. But for snapshots, it will be the same. Curious to see performances for video. . Oh and I think with the pro model you have an option of going up to 512 GB?

Is that worth 300 extra for you?

On paper, barely. Execution seems poor though. The curved screen era needs to be over.

T-Mobile Jump On Demand. Turn in my OnePlus 8T and continue my monthly payments, maybe even less, with the Pixel 6. Zero out the door. Can then free upgrade to S22 or something else sooner if I don't like it.

Do you care about an extra 48MP camera with 4x optical zoom, 2k display and more RAM?

Not really. I liked both on my McLaren but I've been fine without for the 8 and 8T.

The regular 6 is a huge downgrade but everything else it competes with is garbage. S21 and OnePlus 9 are plastic and you'll pay nearly $800 dollars for that.

I just want a nice tinkerer phone with a stock Google experience. All that sexy machine learning.

if the 6 had the 4x zoom, I would personally choose it over the pro version. What color did you get btw?

Same with me. I'm turning in my Pixel 3a and getting a Pixel 6 for like $10 a month for two years.

Pixel 6 support is 3 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates last time I checked. Due to the fact that they're using an inhouse chip now

Also, kinda disappointed that the "leaked" PokeBall Pixel 6 colorway wasn't a real thing. Hopefully someone is smart enough to make it into a case lol


This right here. This would be the most Google color scheme ever. Instead we got the watered down version of this (still cool), but ONLY ON MF 6 and not the PRO. Stupid "premium business" c***s always ruining it for everyone. If you watch the release keynote and see the bitch who designed that and the language she used to describe it, it all falls into place, "luxurious watches and jewelry" yeah making our hi-tech phones look tacky and ratchety is exactly what we want ffs, these "instagram influencer" types should never be put in charge of designing technology.

I bought the 6, it should get here next week.
Since I bought it unlocked directly from the Google store they also sent me a code for free pixel a buds, their special wireless earbuds. So that'll be neat to try.

When did you order it? That shipping speed is way faster than what people are currently getting.

At one point they said it got delayed and it wouldn't be here until the 16th or so, but today I checked and it's now saying the 8th or 9th. Which is really nice because the original estimation was 9th through 12th!

This will be my third Pixel phone, so I think I know what to expect. My one big disappointment though is the lack of folders in the app tray.

I seem to have a thing for the even-numbered Pixels.

One thing I'm not happy about is that the 30 watt charging is a lie. The official charger apparently maxes out at 22 watts and third-party chargers that are supposed to charge at full speed only charge at about 18 watts.

Google is either being extremely strict about their definition of PPS or they're not following the standard at all.

It feels very solid. Camera is amazing, though I haven't taken too many shots with it yet. I don't know much about chipsets and such but the software is as smooth as butter.

Really my only complaint is how freaking slippery the phone is. That will hopefully be remedied with a case which I ordered the same time as the phone but is still a week or two out for delivery.
