[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
Ha ha. Same here. I was one of two people in line that morning. Not sure that two people qualifies as a line through. Samsung and Google pulled a fast one on us with that promo teaser image that exaggerated the curved screen on the Galaxy Nexus.

Anyway, with everything Google has provided themselves regarding the P6 solidified my decision. Should be a dope phone. Hopefully Prosser is right about a Pixel watch.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] chetly968:
Some interview in Germany, can't locate it at the moment, stated it would be priced right up there with the best. So I'm guessing it won't come cheap.

Edit: found it

Pixel 6 und TPU: Google hat für seine neuen Smartphones einen KI-Chip entwickelt

Im Herbst will Google neue Pixel-Smartphones vorstellen. Im Interview gibt Hardwarechef Rick Osterloh einen ersten Blick auf die Neuheiten und erklärt, warum der Konzern dafür einen eigenen Chip entwickelt hat.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmb219:
I think the P6 and Pro will be great phones and what Nexus/Pixel fans have been waiting for for years. We've always had stock Android and the always on time updates but hardware was mediocre. That was ok because the price was also usually mediocre. How many times did someone say we need a Google phone with ass kicking top of the line hardware? I'm pretty sure this is it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rickysidhu_:
1. Definitely

2. Most likely

3. I'm most excited for Tensor but at the same time, a little skeptical of its performance and what it means for development

It seems like they're actually trying this time around. The Nexus 6P was my first Android phone ever, and this is giving me major vibes of that! Really wanting to switch from this OnePlus 9...battery and RAM management is horrible.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] david72262:
Have to totally agree done with OnePlus. Very excited for the new pixel hope it is developmental friendly. We know you watch these threads Google make it so and affordable
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nitramus:
I hope it will be rootable but not counting on it one bit.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] t-ryder:
I got a feeling that it will be expensive af.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] t-ryder:
For me it's either Pixels or Oneplus by now. Other brands... meh, there were too many disappointments.

OP 9 is no good? I had thought about buying that one, but my 8T is still good.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Pvt WhoOkid:
Don't waste your money. I upgraded from 7pro to 8pro to now 9pro. Didn't see a difference from 7pro to now. Waiting on this pixel to ditch OnePlus for good.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] chetly968:
I'm guessing the pro will start at $900 and move up to $1100 for the 512gb. But it is not cheap to develop your own chip, they gotta pay for it somehow. Prices could be higher.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] force70:
If it comes with 512gb of storage as reported im all in, my last pixel was the 2XL. With only 128gb of storage i just couldn't use google devices anymore. I had almost every nexus device and was always a fan so looking forward to get back on a google device finally.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
I'm thinking the announcement for the Pixel 6 line is going to be Sept. 30th. If you look at the Pixel 6 preview video Google has posted in the Google store you will notice the time '9:30' pop up several times throughout the video. Google is known for foreshadowing important dates using this method. So I'm thinking it will be announced then. Probably have units in hand mid-October. None of this is really surprising given all of the other fall Pixel releases just thought I would share.

Google Pixel 6

All new. All Google.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] paul_cherma:
just got a pixel 5 recently. Got tired of the bulky s21 ultra. Thought Google would keep one of the pixel 6s at a 6 or 6.1 inch screen size but they didn't. I would have def. gotten one if it was smaller. The 5 feels even better when holding it than the iphone 12 mini. We'll see what company will make some good specs phone but at a small/compact size in the future...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ynnek63:
I am very excited for this phone. After being an Android user for 10+ years I talked myself into buying an iPhone 12 Pro Max back in April and I hate it! So much so I bought a refurbed Pixel 3 to replace it. I bought the iPhone because aesthetically it is a beautiful phone, I love the slab design, but iOS sucks! Aesthetics have always played a role in my buying decisions. I am not to crazy about the Pixel 6 aesthetics but I am really liking the Pixel 3's pure Android experience so I'll give the Pixel 6 Pro a go.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gettinwicked:
I wonder if the 6 pro will ship right away once it's officially announced. They did that with the 4xl, and they already unofficially announced the phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Jiggs82:
I'm excited can't wait 🙌🏻
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ziplepingouin:
Coming up on 4 years of usage with my HTC U11+ (also known as the "canceled" Pixel 2 xl)... Very good phone but unfortunately HTC dropped the ball with software updates (only 1 major android update)...

The Pixel 6/pro launch seems to be a good time to upgrade, really hyped by this one.

So:

1- yes

2- yes (not sure yet 6 or 6 pro)

3-great design, cameras, android 12, clean OS, hopefully great OEM cases...

My price prediction in EU? 900€/1200€ for base 6/6 pro variants (about on par with iphone 12/12 pro max)...

Btw, any German friends here who would know of German websites that would ship to Belgium?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Denys Ducks:
Since it has been confirmed the availability in the UK I was wondering about the Gibraltar region. Does anyone know whether it's arriving on the same day as the mainland or on a later date?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Schroeder09:
You are right. They're evil. They are at the helm of the authoritarian movement that communities like this were against in the early/mid 2000s. They removed their company motto "do no evil" to boot. 🙄

That was a stupid saying, but once they had it why would you remove it. Very strange. Almost like they're revelling in it.

I have the 2xl and love it. I just had the infamous camera failure and am going to replace it. Every other pixel has been a disappointment from what I've read. Bad hardware. Battery issues. Stupid compromises that would ked to very foreseeable problems and customer complaints. I refused to patronize them.

I hate their company. I hate funding everything they believe in. I'm waiting to see if their 6pro has good review 6 months in still because I'm assuming the camera will be ok. Video will suck. The new chip will suck compared to snap dragon. This is based off the P3 - P5. I'm not holding my breath basically. Probably have to go Galaxy. I'm not rooting either. Idc what anyone here says. It's a PITA and not worth it anymore. I'll miss tasker and AdAway, but they're not worth the PITA. I'm still on A10 on my p2 because I dreaded the switch to A11 and the inevitable 2 day disaster of getting my rooted phone back up, running, and restored. I don't have time for that crap anymore.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmb219:
I hope it ships soon after the announcement. I love the Pixel reveal each year. It's a holiday for me. I'll be ordering the P6 Pro. I hope it doesn't take weeks to ship but whatever. This will be the Pixel that kicks ass.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] drivel2787:
I'm looking forward to buying the pro
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 100kaa:
more curious as excited, I think it has potential to be a great phone, but am also afraid of price :D

probably wont be buying it so soon, because my p4xl is working like charm, maybe one cleanup could improve it (20GB of system folder) but sure thing I wont be giving 1k€ for a new phone while having great p4xl

Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro tipped for September 13 global launch

A new leak has now tipped Google's upcoming premium phones, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, to launch within the next few weeks. On September 13, to be exact. The phones will offer premium specifications and are expected to debut as two of the best camera smartphones on the market.

www.notebookcheck.net
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dnsmo:
a Big YES for me. I am very happy they finally upgraded the camera.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jayr04:
I don't believe it because I recently read an article where Google had just switched to a different manufacturing facility for the pixel 6. Maybe things work faster than I thought. Anyways, the sooner the better.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nitramus:
I've learned enough to take this with a grain of salt but I would guess that 9/13 would be official announcement and launch end of month...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmb219:
The sooner the P6 is out the better but I'm not sure about a launch on 9/13. We've not had the usual amount of leaks or info released yet and Android 12 isn't that close to finished. There is an RC scheduled to be released yet. An announcement at the end of the month (that doesn't conflict with Apple's big day) and shipments in October seem more likely.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jayr04:
No one has "accidentally" left the pixel 6 at a bar or restaurant yet for someone to post it on message boards lol. And no grainy anonymous YouTube videos of someone doing a walk-through of the phone with the barcode blured out.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
I feel like 9/13 will be the Stable 12 release and P6 will be 9/30. That is just my opinion though. I hope the phone comes on 9/13!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Now this article says we will be waiting until mid-Oct for unveiling and not have devices til end of Oct. It comes from a fairly reputable source so IDK. Lets hope this is bad info.

Fresh leak gives out Pixel 6 pre-order and release dates

The pre-order and released dates for the Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have leaked suggesting that a September launch is unlikely.

www.androidauthority.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
I saw that depressing article and hoping it's still September!

The sooner the better....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Yeah I hope so but honestly this 'leak' seems way more credible than the Sept. 13th leak the more I think about it. It is coming from someone far more credible with a decent track record on leaks. It is more detailed info. We also have to be honest it wouldn't be wise for Google to go up against Apple and release the Pixel in tandem with the new iPhone. As much as most of us probably dislike Apple we all know the news would be dominated by the iPhone. It would take some of the shine off a huge unveiling for Google. I would love to get it in Sept. but the Oct timeframe seems more likely.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmb219:
It's been quiet for a week or more, I think we're due for another leak. The missing puzzle piece is the price. I hope I'm wrong but I'm trying to prepare to be shocked. I'm liking the Pro in yellow. At first it was my least favorite color but it's growing on me. I'm telling myself my 4a 5G is awesome and I don't need another phone but that isn't going to work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Google Pixel 6 teaser gives first real-world look at the upcoming phone

Ahead of its launch this fall.

www.theverge.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] toddy2hotty:
DUDESSSS I AM PUMPED FOR THIS!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kangi26:
1- I really am. I'd never been too excited for a Pixel before, Google never really seemed to be too deeply invested in the devices, not near as much as they are with the 6/6 Pro

2- Yes!

3- I love the new design, and to a need to fulfil my flashing addiction, I can be on the early end of releases :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] theincognito:
All of this. :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] guitardoc64:
All I can say is take my money! My last Google phone was a Nexus 6 and until now the Pixel phones haven't really gotten my attention like this one. I'll admit my first reaction to the design was a little negative as was my reaction to the lack of a snapdragon, but the more I looked there is so much more to like. I like the design because it looks like nothing else, the Tensor processor holds promise and overall this looks like something I won't get bored with. I kept my Nexus 6 over 4 years and I'm looking to doing something similar with the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Same, but I tried a few Pixel devices which did not measure up to my previous Nexus's! This Pixel is looking good with some Nexus spirit! Cheers 🍻🙂👍🏆
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Srbija2012:
One cant help but laugh.... pathetic benchmark score, and they want to charge flagship prices?? HAHAHAHAHA
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmb219:
Benchmark scores mean nothing in evaluating a phone. They mean even less when the phone and the OS are still beta.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Benchmark scores are easily fabricated. Also, If it is actually the P6 or P6 Pro it could be in power saving mode. I am pretty comfortable saying something is off with those numbers and not representative of what the phone will be.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TiltedAz:
I'm due for a new phone this year as I'm still rolling a 3 XL and it's long in the tooth. Google has been on a trend of underwhlming with their phone offerings. I doubt the p6 will be enough of an improvement. I've never owned an iphone but am considering it this time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] toddy2hotty:
Still indecisive about whether to get the pro or not but will def buy any of them. I'm currently on a pixel 5
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Devices already on display in NY Google Store!

Real-life Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are in the window of NYC Google Store

The Google Pixel 6 display at the official New York City Google store is just the latest pre-launch promotion for the phone.

www.androidauthority.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] force70:
Im a little less excited since the preliminary testing shows googles chip cant even match the snap 888 and sure wont match the 888 plus. That was with development firmware likely so hopefully this changes considerably.

It should exceed the 888 plus pending how they price the pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] guitardoc64:
I think the Google processor is going to be handling operations differently than the snapdragon most of the benchmarks are designed for the Qualcomm chipset and the Tensor processor isn't accurately judged yet.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] force70:
Yeah Im hoping its something like that
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] guitardoc64:
Think of it this way, the human brain can process an incredible amount of information but works at a relatively slow speed compared to computer chips from 30 years ago. The Tensor is structured different with that dual main processor. That doubles the bandwidth of the amount of data that it can process. So a bit slower but double the amount.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] razvanrudy:
1 Yes. Finally ......

2.Yes. The second it will be available on the biggest storage available

3. New Tensor chip , triple camera setup ( they finally made they're mind and understood that we the user decide what type of camera we use and need ).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
September 28, 2021 Android Authority rumored prices:

"The Google Pixel 6 price for Europe could be as low as €649 (~$758) if a new rumor report is accurate.

The Pixel 6 Pro may also be as low as €899 (~$1,050), according to the same report.

Some of the phones’ color names may be labeled as “carbon” and “fog” by Google."
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blastroid:
All that money I didn't spend on lockdown gonna blow it on a Pro. Because life is short and I want to have a kick ass phone with a great camera.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] david72262:
OtterBox still doesn't have any cases listed. Trying to get ready early but all there is right now are some cheap cases on Amazon.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] guitardoc64:
Yeah. I've been looking for poetic to announce cases, I like the ones I've had but they haven't gotten any yet. Hopefully they will have something out soon.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DeeStyles:
Not sure if it's just me, but I want a top of the line Pixel like the 6 Pro. But why do they have to have a curved screen? I like the fact the that 6 will have a flat screen but I want 120 Hz, I want the large screen and the extra camera. Is there something about curved screens I don't know that they are on every flagship aside from Apple phones? My Pixel 4 XL is bad enough that I can't find an edge to edge screen protector cause of the curves at the edge and any screen protector won't cover the whole display and misses a hair causing a rainbow effect. The Pixel 6 Pro is the phone for me outside of the curved display.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] guitardoc64:
It's something I can deal with. I've got a OnePlus 7 Pro that has a curved screen and I got used to it, a heavy duty case helps me. I'm ready to move back to Google. OnePlus isn't going in the direction I'm happy with and the pixel 6 Pro has much more going for it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I'm still rocking my Pixel 2XL, so I'm definitely ready for a major change. New screen, new deign, camera, OS... I'm very excited.

I'm definitely going to order it on day one since the pandemic has put a heavy strain on manufacturing lately. I don't wanna wait and then be disappointed; I'd rather be disappointed with a phone than not having one lol.

Idk too much about all the processors different manufacturers have used over the years, but I hope Google doesn't let us down with the Pro version and its hefty prce tag.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ramme:
I hope that it will not have temperature problems like all Snapdragon processors. Then Snapdragon can have how much performance when it always gets warm in everyday use, which is really unpleasant.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Yeah same here. I'd honestly rather have a slightly less powerful processor if heat is going to be an issue. Don't get me wrong if Google has it figured out in regards to cooling I am all for it though. Really unless you do a lot of gaming or video editing on your phone that much power isn't necessary. I currently have the SD865 and it is honestly more than enough for my daily use maybe even a little overkill. I would imagine most people game or edit video on purpose made PCs and anybody trying to do it on a mobile device is a small subset.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
YES. 2 weeks to go.

Google just announced its Pixel 6 event on October 19th

It’s tech event season.

www.theverge.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmb219:
Clearing calendar for 10/19... I'm liking that yellow Pro. I've had black phones forever and want something with some color. The light/gray looks good too. Hopefully we'll get a better look during the next couple weeks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] arsenal74:
I am torn, I would want the smaller 6 but from the what I have seen it is pretty ugly from the front, the pro does not look much better and I do not really want a phone that big anyway. I might stick with my 5.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jericho246:
If the rumors are true and the 6 Pro's price is indeed around 900€ then I will be very pleasantly surprised. Fingers crossed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] IlyaKol:
Hi all,

Can someone who has a recent Pixel (4 or 5) that is NOT rooted who's also going to be getting the 6 help me out?

How does phone backup work (meaning lets say you have to factory reset for some reason)...is it pretty painless to get all of your apps and settings, etc. back? I've been rooting since day 1 and I'm honestly getting tired of it and don't have as much of a need for it anymore. I'm trying to decide if I should plan on this for the P6 or just go stock. My main use is to backup all apps on my phone + data every few days in the event of a major problem.

I know you can restore the apps from the play store by looking in your library, but how about settings?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Arr6:
I am looking forward to the Pro, was hoping for faster charging. Now to decide which color.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Birdsfan:
I have the Pixel 4 XL and I'm not rooted. I use Google One as my backup and when I did a factory reset (did it going from Android 12 beta 2 to 3 I think?) and I had no issues with all my data being restored.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] IlyaKol:
Thank you for the feedback!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] milestoneman:
In the UK you can return an item within 2 weeks you bought online so I'm buying day 1 and trying it out before deciding if I keep Vs my Pixel 5 or my wife's 13 pro which I might also get
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
1 week to go my friends!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
A week seems like eternity 🤣

I wonder if Google will take OnePlus device trade-in's?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ozzjim1:
My biggest worry is the leak that only the US and Australia will get the 512gb storage on the Pro. It will be intersting if their hardware supports UK 5g networks as I may have to import one.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] D0n Quix0te:
I am definitely buying it if its reviews are solid. I am waiting for its reviews and will decide afterwards. But i am surely excited for it. I am using Pixel 3 nowadays, its still ridiculously good in 2021 but its battery life ain't good as I get 3 hours SoT. I am a basic user, don't play games at all, but I do care about android updates, battery and camera. If the camera score is 130 or above on dxomark and battery endurance above 100 on GSMArena then I will buy it instantly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] toyanucci:
That's the mistake I always make...waiting. I'm ordering as soon as pre-orders go live. I can always cancel or return if I'm unhappy with it vs ending up waiting extra weeks by delaying ordering 😎
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Andrologic:
What are the key selling points/excitements? The new chipset? Camera? If the specs I see are correct, it's equal or behind most other current high performance devices even before it's released... And that camera hump...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 94b20gsr:
The appeal of the Pixel can't be summarized purely by comparing hardware stats, as the whole thing is software and hardware together to amass something larger than the sum of the parts. Even with the same sensor as some older handsets the photos from the Pixel are top of the line despite what the hardware info alone would tell you. I'm excited about the Pixel line finally not having a compromise like the battery, processor, screen size, or old camera sensors. They are finally giving it the hardware it deserves and that should make for a top notch device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] toyanucci:
At the risk of sounding like an apple fan boy in denial...having the fastest performance isn't everything. Based on the leaked benchmarks it will be more than fast and snappy enough for me. I don't game so needing the latest and greatest has never been my concern but I need my phone to be smooth and snappy and I think it will achieve that with ease.

The fact that it's a Google device is why I want it, especially because it's finally looking like the device they should have always made where they went all out on the hardware. My last Google device was the Nexus 6P. Loved it except the screen was absolute crap. I tried the 4a 5g recently and the pixel 5 and had the same annoyances with the screen. The 6 Pro is using a screen that's on par with the best that's out there so everything else is gravy for me and having one of the best cameras in a phone is just icing on the cake.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] D0n Quix0te:
Well said. I am using pixel 3 these days and I can tell you it is ridiculously fast. The camera can give competition to my cousin's iPhone 11 Pro Max. It feels like it has been released in 2020 instead of 18, lol. The battery life is not good but its a 3 years old phone so expected.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dmb219:
We've been waiting for a big powerhouse phone with stock Android since I've been coming here. That was when I had an S2 and flashed entropy512's kernels every day. That was so cool. This phone will be nice. The new hardware and A12 will be a winner. I'm thinking about that yellow Pro... Who knows, maybe we will get a Shostock ROM for the P6 Pro. j/k hey shoman94, hope all is well with you.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
Just placed my order for a Spigen Thin-fit case and some LK screen protectors. Is it bad that I am really excited for this case to get here? Just want to get an idea for how big the pro is gonna be and how big that camera hump is in person.
