[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kondi10:
I've received my phone and since I move from Pixel 2XL, so many generations ago, I really like the new 6 Pro. There are some issues though, definitely not to send the phone back, but some slight annoyances.

First of all, the phone is slippery, and the original case, even though being nice in touch, it's slippery too. I'm going to use the ring holder which I bought because I was afraid the new P6P will be huge. Actually in comparison to P2XL it's not bad at all, only slightly bigger, but some form of holder will maybe help. Or I will just replace the case.

I'm not the fan of curved screen. It is not a deal breaker since I had to replace my previous phone (the usb slot sometimes works, sometimes not), but it is annoying. At least now at the beginning. I feel like my fingers do not get where I want them to be when it needs to get somewhere closer to the edge. The fingerprint scanner is not as bright as I was afraid after reading some posts here. I'm happy I've read about the camera noise, when I shake the phone it's not bad, but it's there, so I would definitely be stressed. And the screen sound is not that hollow as some people's impressions.. Oh, and I have 2 pixels, one mine, one belongs to my husband, it's same with the screen.

Regarding colours, the white one sucks, and not in a right way. I was expecting more of a pandaish, this is almost purely white!. The second one is black, my husband prefers it this one (our 2XL were black), and it's okish, I think I would order sunny for me though. Both are 128, the smallest ones.

added:

oh, and when it comes to 5G - I cannot say anything, I do not have coverage in my area, maybe when I go to central London tomorrow, I'm with 3 mobile.

The "original" Pixel 6 cases are a dirt-sensitive, ill-fitting, ill-protecting, ill-touchy joke and as far as I can see, no reviewer with a mind set on reasoning dared to recommend those. They are just not good and even for a price of $10, they would still not be recommendable. For the price that Google wants... lol. No way.

I can definitely recommend Caseology Vault case, it's grippy and slightly textured, reminding me of the Google Cloth cases from my P2-P4. Costs 10 $ (Amazon).

Jea, they killed the panda. But that was clear from the beginning. There were enough discussions beforehand, that this is not a "white" but a more milkish-lightgray. The black is also a joke (have that one myself), considering that it's more of a darkish-gray than true black. And no idea why Google though it a clever idea to smash a ridiculously lighter gray on the top portion. It just looks hideously and just out of place. There are so many beautiful colors available and Google opted in for dull, strange and sad. No idea who thought that was a clever idea over there at Google, but he needs to get demoted, or fired - immediately, before he can ruin another generation.

I miss my old Panda so much :/

I mean at the end of day it matters little, cuz I'd never use a 1k $ phone without a case - but knowing that what lies below, looks bad (in terms of colors), well. It sucks. Especially considering that our premium P6 Pro has the worse colors (Pixel 6 at least had red and green, even though also dulled down...).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kondi10:
I'm really surprised that the "magic eraser" works on my older pictures taken by 2XL, that's amazing!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Jea, that feature is awesome. It works on nearly everything, not only living beings like humans or animals, but also on objects, fences or entire buildings. If you go away from "obvious" motives like humans or dogs, quality can certainly vary, but it' still impressive. It works best if the background has sky or grass, then it's almost perfect.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] apprentice:
I also had the Nova Launcher crashing, but I put it down to using a backup settings restore. I set up from scratch and it appears to be working normally now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] davidguy:
I'm also not 100% happy with my P6P coming from OP8 Pro.

- Haptic: Build quality top although very slippery. Vibration motor very satisfying. But the "hollow" screen really bugs me and the power button feels bad and is hard to click - especially when you want to double click to open the camera.

- Screen: It's definitely more yellow than my OP. Compared side by side the OP just looks better. Brighter, true whites and overall better colors.

- Performance/120hz: Performance is top BUT I often have the problem that it switches to 60hz or something.. especially telegram and twitter are very laggy. I wish I could force 120hz all the time.

- Fingerprint: Fine for me, faster than OP8. I miss face unlock a lot though.

- Camera: So much better coming from OP8Pro. Pictures are mostly very good but a bit overprocessed.

- Battery: Average. Pretty much the same like OP8 but charging is way slower.

- Software/Android11: I like Android 11 but it's very buggy.

-- For example when I draw down notifications bar it's black but sometimes you still see the background - which looks very nice. I can reproduce this by drawing it down once and changing screen brightness. After that background only gets blurred instead of turning completely black. pics:

VS

-- Sometimes I get some weird pop ups on the lock screen for a millisecond after unlocking - looks like a figure??:

-- double tap to wake but not to sleep?

So overall it's a lot of small things that should be fixable with software updates.. but OP8Pro just feels better right now except for the camera. I'll try to get used to it for a few days but I'm very much underwhelmed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Yensid eno:
I have had mine since Wednesday, and biggest negatives:

How about ads on this site keep blocking me from clicking send/submit and hide last row of text typed.

LTE reception is horrible. I was out driving through neighborhoods last night with my family to check out Halloween decorations and my phone kept losing access for the maps. It was happening all over our area and I notice the same thing on Wednesday night. I normally have great reception with my former Pixel 4a 5G and my wife's Pixel 4a. Even now at my house where I usually have great reception I have zero bars. Other phones show full signal and since I couldn't keep Google Maps running, it is not just the bar graph, it is a hardware or software problem.

Fingerprint sensor on front, how ridiculous. It was exactly where it should be, in the back, with other Pixels. Front is awkward and glitchy at best. Checked but no updates still.

Did I mention ads are annoying here. I know bills have to get paid, but really, they block middle of screen above keyboard and every once in awhile a big one falls from the top.

Curved screen, just not a fan. I keep hitting letters on edges of keyboard and have to tap again.

Keyboard is glitchy, sometimes enter button does not move cursor to new line.

Positives

Everything that works like my past Pixels. I just expect things to work and be great, so nothing stands out. I am replacing my 4a 5g that every once in awhile would freeze in black screen while on a call and would not resume screen visibility and reset, power off would not fix. Known issue and did not want refurbished phone as replacement.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TiltedAz:
Still looking where to disable autoplay in Android 12. Android 12 Settings search comes back with no hits on autoplay.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] digthemlows:
So, it's only been two days and I'm not sure about battery life yet. I'll say the the initial drain is slower than the Note. Meaning, when I take it off the charger, go make coffee, browse FB, IG, email. etc. my note would be down to 91% in the first hour of the morning where the Pixel is showing 98%. But, after that, it seems to be almost the same. That's all I have for battery. Size and feel in the hand is pretty damn close. I think the Pixel feels better, as it feels less narrow, even though it's not. This is really a subjective part, and I can't place why, probably contour of the edges??? The Pixel performs so much better with my pixel buds. The Note never kept a solid connection to them, and that seemed to change with every months security update. Now, it doesn't seem super fair to talk about performance between the two due to the software differences (I don't know what Android 12 will be like on the Note) but I will say that the over all feeling on the Pixel vs. the Note is smoothness. The Pixel feels smooth, and makes a lot of sense, where the Note always felt clunky and too rigid. Camera is better by miles on the Pixel. Shots looks better, it works faster, it's just better in every way.

That's all I have for now
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] digthemlows:
Just wanted to chime in, coming from Note 20 Ultra..... The finger print sensor on the Pixel is waaaay better. It's faster, the haptic is amazing, the light helps, and for 2 days of tons of use I've never had to hit it twice.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stuclark:
The fanois will stomp all over this I'm sure; but there appears to be a general consensus that the phone simply isn't all that good!

It's certainly not a "flagship device" - it doesn't get even close to some of the Samsung, Oppo, OnePlus devices out this year, let alone anything else. In fact, it shows up just how *bad* stock Android can be for lack of customisation. (if we wanted to be dictated to, we'd all be using an iPhone, right?)

Mine went back in it's original delivery packaging and is already on it's way back for a full refund. Both the hardware and software on the Pixel 6 Pro simply don't cut it in late 2021!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
You clearly don't know the meaning of dictating or freedom. Freedom doesn't mean Google is bloating you with 10000 features, it mean's its making it easy for you to get whatever feature you desire, by making bootloader unlocking easy, by making root easy and by enabling apps even without root to customize your experience.

You know what Samsung does, when you try to customize your phone? When you dare root it? When you dare go custom kernel or ROM? They block your ****ing camera. That's what Samsung thinks about customization and "freedom".

If "flagship device" means "I need 5000 features out of box", then no, the Google Pixel 6 Pro is not a flagship device - to you. It was never meant to. Google Pixels are loved for their ease of use and lightweight UI and OS.

Of course it's your personal decision to turn your back on this device because you feel like you miss on features - but remember that this is a very subjective decision. And not entirely accurate, considering that Pixel devices are one of the very few native supporting AOSP devices and therefore fully customizable, down to the last line of code.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stuclark:
I'm trying to see where any logic is in this post; alas I'm failing!

"ooh, lets bang on about whether I can unlock a bootloader. Lets complain if a company doesnt make their camera libs available. Let's pretend inferior hardware is better because it may not include so many bundled apps"

.... Um.... pointless!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Camera libs?

If you dare unlock the bootloader - let's take the Samsung Fold 3 - they DEACTIVATE the camera. It won't function, not for one singular second. It's broken at that point. That's not a minor nuisance, that's the deliberate destruction of a primary phones function. It means that Samsung does not want you to under no circumstances (only if you are a developer who doesn't give a **** about that) to customize your phone in any meaningful way.

If you believe that such a brand or line of phones can give you freedom - then yes, you don't know what freedom means.

And no, noone here with the right mind and reasoning behind is "pretending" - the phone isn't perfect, and it seems that some people here might have hardware related issues, even though some like "dull colors" might just be personal taste stuff, because they are used to oversaturated monstrosities. Yellow-ish tint or something like that though, that needs to be looked into.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danielson2047:
Sounds like you should have never ordered a pixel in the first place. Its not a bad thing, different strokes for differnt folks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stuclark:
I'm regretting that I did. I genuinly thought Google might have done it right this time. Alas, my earlier doubt proved to be correct.

I'll never move to iOS, but as far as Android goes, some of the OEMs do it *way* better than Google. Especially when it comes to hardware!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
Well thats not true
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mrnovanova:
Definitely not as polished as my s21u But for $600 less 8m totally cool with that and I'll be selling my s21u to build up anticipation for the s21u😜 But for the price it's definitely the best phone you can get imho👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ringfinger69:
I"m that guy who is still using the OG Pixel XL. I borrowed an Iphone SE for four months just to have the experience of the ecosystem. I enjoyed it it was fun and easy. I couldn't use my tic watch pro the same way on Wear OS and the Feel the Wear App. I enjoy doing the simple fine tuning on Android to my liking, that's why I still use my Pixel XL.

I plan on getting the 6 Pro, Played with the demo at BBY enjoyed it and I look forward to buying.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] droidguy22:
How is P6P is $600 less than s21u?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Soepersoeper:
I've owned every single pixel since the Nexus 6P. I skipped pixel 5 and was running a p4xl for a long time. Decided to jump the gun with an s21U and used Google camera app. Can't say I enjoyed using the Samsung software but overall not terrible. Hated the Samsung camera processing. Battery, screen and fingerprint reader great however.

Just got my 6P yesterday and so far:

Love:

Vanilla Android 12

Smoothness

Battery Life on par with my s21U

Google camera reliability

Screen is smooth, sharp, colors are good and brightness in the sun is great.

Not impressed:

Screen curve is more curved than s21U

Fingerprint is distracting with optical

Camera isn't as great as my expectations

Hollow screen sound on taps

Video recording on telephoto 4x seems to still be using a digital zoom from the main camera
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mrnovanova:
Come to Canada. You'll find out.😜 To your point it's closer to $500 might have been slightly exaggerating for dramatic effect.😅
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xdaweaver:
Hi folks,

Had the phone for 5 days now. Here are my thoughts on battery- it averages 4 hours SoC for me always on a first setup. I had to wipe it again due to a pac change. From initial setup the day after, and wiping the day after, after about 24hrs use the battery life significantly increases. Averaging 6-7 hrs depending how much I use it. I'm not a super user, but typical social media browsing, bit of Call of duty, and a lot of YouTube. I'm impressed with the battery life after being so cynical initially. I have purchased the additional Google fast charger which I'll cycle once a fortnight probably. Considering this is the first iteration of android 12, plus one security update, I think Google have time to improve on what is a GOOD phone, it isn't bad, it's very good.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hibby50:
I've had about 24 hours of hands on time now with the P6P.

I've been using and flashing smartphones since the windows mobile days and using Android since it was available in the United States. I've used everything from HTC to Samsung to Nexus to LG to Pixel to OnePlus.

I have little to no issues with the hardware of the phone. I'm fairly confident that the fingerprint slowness Will be resolved in an update. My preference would be for the buttons in a different location, but that's all. The hollow screen is interesting, but when using the phone I never can tell the difference

My main issues stem from Android 12. I am really not enjoying the UI. The lack of transparency throughout the OS is jarring. Almost everything is on a flat black background. The limited number of quick settings tiles are really bothersome. I feel as though there's also a lack of customization options. I increased the DPI of the display and that made it a little bit better. My last device was a Galaxy s21 plus and I'm really missing the clear all button on recents and the ability to hide the gesture bar. A feature I really liked on the s21 was that you could customize the vibration pattern for notifications and calls, none of that here. Also the lock screen clock can't be changed.

The speech to text is absolutely incredible, I can't comment on battery life because it's only been 24 hours but I've only charged once in that time and I'm on 18%. I'm expecting battery life to be fine.

I'm hoping some custom ROMs are able to bridge the feature gap, but it's been over a year since I flashed one, and I don't really want to have to do that to get these features. After I sell my s21 plus this phone will have cost $400 net. I'm struggling to say that it's worth it, considering I didn't have to worry about custom ROMs on the Samsung.

Since I can't stand all the pre-installed Samsung apps, and OnePlus is moving to color OS, this is probably where I'll stay.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Phoquetopus:
Pros: voice dictation, the "now playing" function is surprisingly awesome, face un-blur, camera slightly improved. Feels good in the hand. Display and and animations are buttery smooth.

Cons: fingerprint scanner is one of the worst I've ever used, auto focus when using telephoto lens is horrid, 50% of the time the post processing on the photos make it look worse when using the telephoto lens, battery life is mediocre, magic eraser is gimmicky and only works well in very specific situations.

Hopefully a few upgrades can fix the camera issues because otherwise I might as well have just gotten the six
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
Does anyone find it quite glitchy? I noticed frame drops,missed animations and general stutters quite a lot. I'm really hoping this just needs some software updates.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] PhilipL2021:
I'm with you on this, who thought the quick setting tiles was an improvement? I look at my old Pixel 2 XL and bring down the settings and it just looks professional, well laid out and like it is part of the UI.

Android 12 the buttons are huge, the corners are too round and too much padding inside, so there is tonnes of wasted space, so we see less unless we scroll more. So now when there is more information to be shown in the setting lozenge, because of all the paddding, they've had to introduce some silly scrolling text so you can read it all, which is crazy given the screen realestate we have now. So we have smaller font and have to watch it scroll backwards and forwards to read it all. Not only does that take more time and effort from the user, it needs processing to scroll that text, which will sip a bit more power or cause the GPU to ramp up its clock speed, and that those little things all add up to worse battery life.

Changes for changes sake, that is Android. I see little improved with Android 12, but a lot of things made worse and just less pleasing to use.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Craphead:
I'd encourage every owner to check their device for this issue, seems very serious: https://xdaforums.com/t/pixel-6-pro-camera-problem.4354687/
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Markeee:
eSim or dual sim is a must have feature for me on my next upgrade so after I heard that the One UI 4.0 beta enabled eSims support in the US on the S21 I hastily ran out and snagged a deal on Fold 3 off Swappa. Thinking that it defiantly had to be coming to the fold also. Well I was wrong got the phone today updated to the UI 4.0 beta and dame no eSim support not happy . Now I'm thinking get rid of it and get a Pixel 6 Pro instead ?

I don't hear much of any discussion about the eSim on the pixel how's it working people happy with it ?

is it pretty stable any limitations buggyness or disappointments with it ?

Just totally sick of carrying around 2 phones need a reliable way to handle personal and biz line txting and calling off of one phone . Will the pixel get me what I need ?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
I am sure everyone has done this now but just rebooting the phone sorted that out on my Pro and my wifes 6
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Keith W:
Well Google never didn't swap out my Pixel 6pro, they simply returned my money instead.

Given the problems I had with my unit, and other issues that are surfacing with other peoples pixels, I will not be buying another one

Hello guys,

As you can see in the picture, this is the spot where my screen is heating.

Everything is updated and i already hard reset / Factory reset

I Hope someone Can help me

Thank you !

View attachment 5442741
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Hunteres:
Charger? Are you plugged in while heating ocurs? There is literally nothing to heat up... Strange
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Hello !

Unfortunately, it happens when the phone is unplugged...

I just tested 60hz and it's not as hot...

It seems that 120hz adaptative IS causing that..
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Hunteres:
But why on lower part of screen? Could be a damaged unit....there is nothing behind....charging port and few cables.... literally....

If you have warranty try to claim it...

Try running 90hz....best compromise.... Search for setedit - no need to root.... It may be best....for me it works...better battery and no human will see difference between 90 and 120
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Exactly i can't understand why it is located in the bottom

I will try 90hz THANK YOU very much
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dodgedroid:
Mine is also heating in that area without being plugged.

Really weird, since I'm running stock 12.5.7.0.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Oh so we have the exact same issue !

I'm also on 12.5.7.0

I hope next update is going to correct it ...

People say that 12.5.8 / 12.5.9 are reducing the heat
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dodgedroid:
Are you also using swipe gestures?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Yes I do

Do you think that this is the cause of heating ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dodgedroid:
Well, that's the only thing I can think off. Also, most likely the heat is present on more devices, but people just consider it "warm" rather than heat.

Being on the lower bottom of the screen hides it really well too, as that's not the most interacted part of the screen.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Absolutely

Absolutely

I'm going to use the device without swipe gesture to see if this is the problem

Can you try Too ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pho3nX:
When heat occur/stay it's often when :

- when charging

- when running big apps

- when app(s) drain the battery a lot

Question is how isyour SOT / battery life ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
It happens everytime i am scrolling on social médias ( tik tok, twitter, Facebook, Instagram...)

I'm not gaming at all

When I'm watching youtube or Netflix, the device is cool !

I think it's a refresh rate issue..

My SOT is around 5 hours
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dodgedroid:
Exactly the same in my case. Around 5h sot.

When I watch videos (yt or netflix), screen is really cool.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Really weird

I disabled swipe gesture but heating is still there...
[Xiaomi Mi 11] dodgedroid:
To be fair, in the last 3-4 OTA updates, I haven't done a clean install. (Didn't wiped and format data since I bought the phone).

Refresh rate seem to be a logic reason for it.

Also, a while ago I played with an app that was allowing to change the refresh rate to 90Hz, but it was somewhat buggy and I switched back to 120Hz ever since.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Okay thanks for the feedback

I tried Factory reset and Hard Reset several Times but nothing change...
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Jaegerist71:
Guys I just noticed that when I'm outside, next to the ventilator or in a room that is not that hot : my Mi 11 doesn't overtheat AT ALL
