Allanon23 11/26/21 11:30:29 PM #4:	The charging is fine, but it's just not the 30W that was advertised. Going from a 3a to a 6 has been huge.

I could hook up my low-battery OnePlus 8T, walk away for a few minutes, and come back to see it's already at 30%. Whole thing charges in 45 minutes or so. The Pixel 6 takes about 2 hours. 99% of people won't even have the right charger or heavy enough cable to charge at the fastest speeds. --- Paid for by StarksPAC, a registered 501(c)(4) <cite>Starks posted [p:960385385] in Google Pix...

Arcanine2009 11/27/21 12:03:31 AM #10:	it's gotten pretty good reviews and it keeps selling out. Bestbuy has a sale going on right now. $100 off if you activate with them and get an additional $50 off with certain carriers (att, Verizon?). Too bad the pro versions aren't on sale. But tbqh, I find it hard to justify an extra $300 from going 1080p to 2k screen, 4x Zoom, 4GB more RAM and .3 inches more screen, when you can get by with the regular one with $100-150 off right now. But then again they also have a 12 MP front camera and an additional back camera as well. I really only cared about the 4x zoom and the 2k screen. --- Less is more.

Starks 11/27/21 12:06:43 AM #11:	The hardware is always half-assed, but I can't argue with constant updates and feature drops. There's also the beta cycle, which is fun. The curved screen kills the Pro for me. I am a bit concerned about what will go into the Pixel 7 and how closely it'll hug Samsung. --- Paid for by StarksPAC, a registered 501(c)(4) <cite>Starks posted [p:960385943] in Google Pix...

Since I work from home it doesn't bother me at all. Outside of that, using it for Google maps in the car I haven't had any issues/spottiness, but I only got the phone and car last week so I'm not the most experienced with either haha. Also for the Flexible plan it's capped at $60 for data per month, so a maximum bill of $80. That's still cheaper than what I was paying for Verizon before. --- --- <cite>The_Hat posted [p:960386392] in Google Pix...

I fear they will move on with that, cause it will save them money. Maybe they should do face ID. I'm tempted to wait a other year and see if my 2xL lasts 5 years, but I dunno --- Less is more.

gamestunner 11/27/21 1:00:38 PM #19:	So is the pixel 6 as good or better than a note 10 plus? Reason I ask this is because I actually downgraded from a Note 10+ non 5g to a pixel 4a5g and realized my town doesn't have proper 5g, I actually disable 5g because when connected to LTE+ it's actually faster. That being said I was probably gonna head back to the note, because this latest UI they added in new update honestly sucks. I hate it lol but if this exact UI works on the pixel 6, I might consider it <cite>gamestunner posted [p:960397103] in Google Pix...
