You never listened to "The Trees" by Rush before. Have you. Like. Heard it? That's possible...but have you listened to it.

That's why.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Solomon M:
I have an idea:

People are intelligent enough to constantly do the bare minimum and still get the reward.

Logic says why would they care, since they are still getting the reward if they produce **** or gold.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Solomon M:
Don't get me wrong, in a matter of fact:

"Google is my favorite company."

"If Google made each device like the Pixel 2: I would save for it every year, attempt to purchase it, and be excited for it."

--to do this would be a total waste of resources and time, unless they make the parts then cover them in a nanofilm to protect from water --all the internal components, then manufacture those parts to be easily changed and upgraded, But then also actively want them back and expect them back so as to recycle and then reuse the clearly not yet broken parts.... Idk just seems like to me there could be a cycle instead of a line.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Solomon M:
What I have found is the gcam modded APK here:

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-MWP/

I use the beta 3 app because the beta 4 & 5 keep crashing.

Then I set a bunch of custom stuff in the settings to output an average file size of 7.5mb compared to the stock 1.9mb .

I also specifically did not diable the Pixel 6 default camera app because the updates are done internal to the app and I believe it benefits the modded Gcam app, but I Turn Off permission to "modify system settings" for the default camera app ...

I have cleared the data on the gcam modded app multiple times but it is worth it.

Here is the config. But I hon know how to import the config [attached file.]

I do not work with these files and do not know if it will work for you. But if not and you'd like more info I could attempt to list out all my changes after a data clear for the beta 3 I use which fixes a bunch AND WITHOUT ROOT.

Use determination and figure out the best settings for yourself... If you're serious about it then figure it out & then you let me (us) know so we can get images we want as well.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nicobonavento:
I can't install it to the .xml, could you send screenshots of your configuration. Thank you very much!

EDIT> there I could thank you!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Solomon M:
Yeah sure, here is images of settings and etc.

Hope this helps.

This isn't the best, likely. I am still toying with it to find what I find works best for me.View attachment 5719755View attachment 5719757View attachment 5719761View attachment 5719763
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gnaius:
Okay, I've been experimenting for months, and these are by far the best setting I've come up with. I'm now doing professional work with this phone, and when it comes to wide-angle images, my editors often prefer the Pixel 6 Pro photos to similar shots taken with a DSLR. (I don't tell them which is which.) The fact is that very few wide-angle lenses on a conventional camera — even the most expensive — can compete with a phone when it comes to distortion, edge sharpness, etc.

How do I disable "touchflow 3d"?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pensador:
it's very easy...do it like this..:)

- go to 'settings'...

- go to "today'

- then go to the tab 'items'

in that list you will find a list where you can select things that will. or not appear on your today screen.

So to disable touch flo uncheck the box TOUCHFLO 3d

Hope it helps!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yaronr:
Thanks! it helped.

I ordered the 256gb option, but with cloud storage these days I don't really need it. I currently have a OP 8 Pro with 256gb and I'm only using 72gb.

What size storage did you order and why?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] znel52:
512GB. Sure I probably won't need all of that space but go big or go home right lol. I'm just now really getting onto the cloud bandwagon. Had Samsung devices with SD cards the last few years so if I need extra storage I would just go that route.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Oaklands:
I ordered the 512gb option. The marina where I keep my houseboat does not have the best cell service. In the summertime when many people are there, the service can drop to under 1mbs. I keep all my music on my phone. Also, I keep many work files on it. If I am at a customer site, I can hook my phone up and transfer large files to their computer. We do keep these files on dropbox, but I like having them with me just in case the internet is down. I can also keep a backup of any key files so I have one more source of backup.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jblack41510:
Using about 50% of my pixel 5 128gb storage, so I ordered the 256gb just to have extra room just in case, but I feel I won't even need it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nozz93:
I'm not even using the 128 GB on my OnePlus 6 so I also went with the 128 GB version of the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kondi10:
I currently have 2XL with 64gb and using about half of it, so I went for 128gb model, the lowest. I keep my media on my tablet anyway, that's where I have more memory.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DinarQ8:
I ordered 256gb why? I will keep for at least 2 years and for 4K video
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
I wanted the 512 gb option in black (mainly for resale) but the only option available when I ordered was 128gb.

My storage is rarely, if ever, over 50gb on any of my devices so it's more than enough.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggrant3876:
I ordered the Black in 512Gb just because!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TehKing:
Sorta Sunny in 128GB? Why? Because that's the only option available for some reason!

Though, even if larger capacities were available, I would have gone with 128GB anyway. Everything I do with the phone is offloaded to the cloud anyway, and I am never above 60% of the 128GB capacity I have now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
512 GB. 400 GB+ of local FLAC format music.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Deleted member 3193942:
Truth be told, I have no idea why I selected 256GB vs 128. I routinely use the "clean" and "free up storage" in the Google Files and Google Photos apps respectively. I just checked the storage on my Pixel 5 and I have 98.17 GB free out of 128. I do have a Google Drive subscription so it also cuts out local storage along with streaming everything.

Guess I'll quit the cleaning and freeing up storage and start using some of that 256 as a backup.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
You never go on holidays, making videos? If you are overseas, for example making some videos about a show that lasts for like 30min, that will take up many GB - and you can't upload at the hotel, simply because no hotel has decent internet speed around. The data will stay on your phone until you get home. If you make another round of videos, have fun. Imagine you stay somewhere for 3 weeks and after 3 rounds of videos you are already at your max. Happened to me more than once.

And that's just one way to fill up that kind of small storage. No idea how people can be satisfied with having small sized storage. Imagine you need to download some audiobooks or high quality TIDAL music for a long airplane flight, or some offline 4K videos, or 4K porn. That's just ramping up those tiny GB. Just because you don't need the storage now, I can think of 10 scenarios easily where the average joe in a certain circumstance will have serious problems if he wants to use his phone to it's full potential. Also don't forget that the P6 Pro shoots 4k60FPS, that's double the data needed most of us people here are used to with P4 or whatever that can only shoot 4k30fps. And we still don't know if the 50 MP shooter won't require bigger more storage (even though some argued that it will be toned down to 1/4 ergo 12,5 MP) - we will see.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TehKing:
With my usage patterns, storage is a non-issue for me, and if it were I can easily off-load via an OTG adapter and whichever TB or larger drive I wish to use if I don't have access to a reliable data connection.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
128 GB for me. Currently using 10 GB on a Nexus 6 with all my data backed up to a self-hosted instance of Nextcloud.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
I went 128 since that's all I really require...and to get the order in on crazy launch day!😳😎
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
And to save $100 that can be put to better use.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] crescentmage:
Stormy Black 512 GB. While it's not a regular occurrence, I have had to clean the storage on my 256 GB OnePlus 7 Pro a few times and I'd prefer not to have to deal with that. I don't mind paying an extra $100 on a $1000 phone that I plan to keep for at least 2 years, especially since I got $15 of it back through Google One credits and credit card points.

Even though I had to wipe my phone this spring, I currently have 81 GB in apps, ~40 GB in photos and video recordings (which I do sync with the cloud but I prefer having local access to recent ones) as well as ~70 GB in files (app backups, game data, music, and downloaded video for offline viewing mainly). With system and other miscellaneous files that leaves me at 208 GB used.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sgvjon:
Haha I probably only need 128, but I love having the option to have more space.. so exactly my thiknning as well, go big or go home.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] diesteldorf:
Traveling on buses, trains, and planes means that internet service can be spotty in areas, and I prefer to have some movies and music saved to my device. I also used my phone as a mini USB flash drive to back up documents and system files/drivers for other devices, just in case my laptop gets a virus and needs to be reformatted.

Most people seem to be buying one level up from what they normally use. I'm currently at 127 GB of 128 GB on my Pixel 4 XL, so I considered buying the 256 GB model, but, like you, I also got 10% + Reward points, and decided to just pay the extra $100.00 for 512 GB.

I have a bad habit of upgrading my device every year, while saving money in other areas, but skipped the Pixel 5 because it didn't seem like a true upgrade, compared to my Pixel 4 XL. I can't predict the future, so I don't know Google's plans, but if the Pixel 7 is a mid-range device, or lacks an XL/Pro model, I'll happily keep my Pixel 6 Pro for 2 years, so the extra storage is a little future proofing as well.

File sizes, pictures, videos, seem to get bigger, as resolution and sound improvements are made. I'd rather have too much than not enough. As an aside, when I purchased an Iphone 12 Pro Max for a family member last year, I got them the 256 GB model, in part, because the 512 GB model was $200 more.

If Google was using Apple's pricing structure, paying an extra $200 for 512 GB would've been a tougher sell, but if I keep the phone for a longer period, or sell it in the future, the extra $100 should be easy to recoup in one way or another.

For those that are interested, here is Apple's pricing structure, for the Iphone 13 Pro Max:

Does anyone think it's fair to assume that Google's profit margin on the 512 GB model is substantially higher than other models? I can't imagine it actually costs much more to add a 512 GB memory chip vs. 128 or 256. Does anyone know, based on market conditions, supply/demand, if those 512 GB (or 1 TB chips, in Apple's case) are really that expensive?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
128 GB Stormy Black because it was the only option here. I wanted the 256 :(

I only have about 13 GB left on my 128 Pixel 4 XL. I might have to leave my pictures on the cloud in Google Photos, we'll see.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] therock3181:
In Canada we only get the P6P in 128 or 256 in stormy. All other colors are 128.

So went with 256.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xxnoelziexx:
Last few phones were 128GB and all comes down to personal preference and how you use your phone's. 90% of my data is in the cloud and my new hybrid way of working I'm going to spend more time at home. I went with 128GB and utilise around 70% of phone's storage. Colour choice this time around also helped me make my decision.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Meh you can never have too much storage on a single drive device. I'm using over a combined 700gb of storage now with 300gb or so being a temporary backup. The other issue with a 512 gb internal memory is if you use it, loading it.

It takes time. Not like slamming a loaded SD card in and booting.

I will not buy anything without a SD card slot because you need it to set up a dual drive device.

OS, apps drive/data drive. This isolates the data from the OS drive so that in a crash and burn, the critical data and everything needed for a full reload is normally intact. No cloud needed for a full restore, completely self contained.

No cloud means no parasitic battery drain for data you already downloaded and easy access.

Even if the internet goes down for a week I can listen to thousands of wav/HDCD songs, watch movies or reload.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kangi26:
I've always gone with the smaller available storage in the device because I've always had an additional 256GB in the microSD. But that not being an option in the P6 Pro, I thought it better to go with the 512GB. I have a lot of music and photos (About 80GB) so that "could" get used up pretty quickly. I suspect that I wont actually get close to using the 512, but like it was said earlier in the thread, there is the resale value
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Just keep it backed up. Androids rarely crash and burn but it happens. Since the data is automatically encrypted now if that key is lost, data recovery will be impossible.

A .5tb OTG flashstick works nicely for quick, dirty backups. My primary backups are always isolated hdds... many hdds.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
For me 512GB, I do a lot of photography use RAW and video, and your phone store this stuff locally and in the cloud, at 50MP this with consume space quickly especially the raw (I don't backup to google) We also have a number of Islands nearby that we drive on which have do not have mobile coverage or minimal so having music locally stored is also very handy
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I went for the 512 GB for future proofing and the fact that I'm coming from a Samsung with 512 GB/MicroSD Support. Cloud storage has never been a favorite of mine. I could have gotten a 256 GB on release day from Verizon but they charge a $35 activation fee (even when paying full retail), likely will have a locked bootloader, and weren't throwing in the Pixel Buds. The 512 GB was barely anymore expensive given those considerations, but I may have to wait an extra 2-3 weeks. The 128 GB is too limiting for those with games, music, and lots of pictures/video. 256 GB is probably the sweet spot for most. For those with a personal and work phone, it's nice to have different flavors of Android on each device.

It should also be noted that higher storage configurations have slightly faster read and write speeds.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Back it up daily or more. You're only one drop, near lightning strike etc away from losing everything. It's seldom conveniently timed when it happens.

A pro cam with a dual redundant card setup might be a better choice for your primary camera. While more expensive, you'll enjoy the better optics, AF and user interface.

My flagship smartphone pales in comparison to my 11 yo Canon pro cam and L lens. Good used equipment can be had at reasonable prices from pro shooters who regularly upgrade.

Or carry a second phone with an SD card slot as the primary shooter. Internal backups on a phone with a V30 card are easy and relatively fast.

Best to always have a backup cam... if shooting is important to your mission.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Agreed, I was in the process of backing up photos to multiple devices to keep copies in different locations, just before I had completed someone stole all the equipment and lost 2 years of photos, before cloud storage was really any option. Now being paranoid my RAW photos are backed up to my NAS, as well as ALL my other Photos, so have two to three copies of everything.

I use the phone for photography in the moment, when I am not currently carrying my camera equipment. I used my phone for one trip to south Amaerica where I was worried about my equipment due to extreme inflation and unemployment where you would be more like to have opertunistic theft, as it turn out it wasn't as bad as I thought, but phone photos for 80% were fine to catpure the trip for memories.

With wifi on my SLR, I have three Prosumer. I can also choose to backup some photos real time to my phone to further protect the photos should someone decide to steal the equipment while travelling, which uploads to my NAS. My wife is embarrased because I tape over every idenifing feature, so they can't at a glance work out what it is easily, and with the tape looks run down very second hand :) . L lenses red ring, all the badge(s) make, model. The only people really looking at my gear, that guys equipment is stuffed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
It's always wise to have a secondary backup, along the cloud. I once witnessed the case where someone lost his important bachelor thesis files because Microsofts servers had a crash and their backup was corrupted. No chance to recover. Luckily later again he was able to at least save some files because Windows/Office keeps some temporary files in hidden system folders. Still, **** that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Well gee, trust microshaft for your sole backup? Sounds irresponsible.

First of all, I would NOT suggest using ANY 3rd party (google, m$, ifruit, etc.) for backups. Even if you could trust those services to be reliable, you can't trust that YOUR DATA is kept secret and protected. USE YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT!

Second, its not just about keeping your data backed up to your own network server, but also backing up that network server to somewhere else -- like you said, a "secondary" backup.

For example, my phone backs up to my server running NextCloud, which is colocated to a datacenter in Toronto where I can physically get to it as needed. That server rsync's to another server located in my office (it would otherwise be to my home if I didn't have an office) every night. The rsync uses the backup option, so it keeps prior versions of all changed files. That server is then backed up to a second server in my office (both original and backup), as well as to my laptop. Every single machine in that stack runs Linux, and there is a good mix between Enterprise grade SSD's (colocated server) and spinny magnets (office servers), and consumer grade SSD's (phone, laptop).

Drop my phone in the middle of a lake and the only thing I'm out is the cost of the phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biggiestuff:
You may be more inclined to do 4k video recording now that the ability is better. I plan to since I just recently had a new addition to the family. I was only using 75gb but I'll figure out a way to use more storage I'm sure.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
Congrats on the new addition. ✌️ And yeah... your 4k usage is going up then.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prdog1:
I went bback unlocked 256 to split the middle for resale.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
512GB... gotta keep a stash of HD pr0n vids at the ready!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] boober78:
I went for the largest possible which was 256 Stormy Black. The availability of the larger capacity in other colours is really strange for me. I had to trim the storage many times in 128GB capacity devices. I don't know if 6P will have the option to take pictures in 50MP raw, but if it will, for sure I will be using it. Tidal music, few podcasts and it will fill very easy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
Waited for the 512, took a few failed attempts (add to cart, error on checkout, out of stock again) but finally complete today. Reason for 512 is I'd like to try using the phone instead of a gopro for recording/vlogging when doing ultramarathon races. I always carry my phone, I'd like to not carry the GP and accessories on top of that. 256 would 'probably' be fine but 512 would be perfect for the footage I typically record over a 25+ hour race.

But with a ship date in January it'll be awhile to try it out. :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
A 256GB one and i don't know why, my Pixel 5 after a year still had 70GB free.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kboya:
128. 100gbp (~135-140usd) to double it isn't a good deal for me. I have multiple flash drives for otg transfer should I need to that are stashed in every bag.

YMMV.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foxxx5oh:
I ordered the 128, looked at my Note 20U that I am trading in and am only using about 90GB out of 512, but that's with a bunch of apps that I never use anymore and my Spotify downloads. Only reason I went 128 is because I have an unlimited storage Google Drive account, so I can just move pictures and whatnot to that and delete them from the device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rmiles7721:
I ordered the 512. I drive A LOT for work and don't always have a great signal. Use my phones to scan stuff for work and I normally retain everything along with a ton of documents. I also have a ton of music and podcasts all stored locally. I tend to use podcast addict and Poweramp and am not a huge fan of streaming media. Nothing wrong with it, I pay for Spotify family for my wife and daughters as well as my Echo's at home, I just don't use it.

I probably could have still gone with the 128 or 256. Have used the pixel 5 since March with no problems, just like having the extra space. Just in case...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
You can never have too much storage.

My whole CD and HDCD collection is in my pocket as .wav files. Yeah, Poweramp rocks.

No internet connection? You still can rock... or watch movies, play games, etc.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] copong:
128GB as I was only using around 40% on my 64GB Nexus 6p. Any more would be wasted money.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TiltedAz:
I went with 512 cause it seemed like a relatively good deal and I have no plans to sign up for a never ending monthly cloud subscription where my junk is potentially at risk. The cloud might be similar to a rental storage unit where the more junk you throw in it the more difficult it is to ever walk away.
