[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
I bought my Pixel 6 Pro for the camera.

The camera is good, but it can be better:

- At times the lens flare is pretty bad.

- A bit too warm and at times an aggressive HDR look.

- At times the AI will override your zoom lens choice and crop the main sensor instead.

- Astro mode is finicky and at times it's frustrating to get it to activate.

- If taking a bunch of consecutive pictures or videos in hot weather the phone will overheat and it has to be cooled before you can use it.

A lot of the camera issues should have been fixed by now.

The voice typing repeats parts of sentences and places weird punctuation in the middle of sentences sometimes. It should have been fixed by now.

The battery life is marginal and if taking a lot of pics it will not last a day.

Overall it's probably the best Android I've had, but I wish I had bought the iPhone 13 Pro Max instead, even if the zoom on the Pixel is a tad better.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
Battery life is actually really good. What I've been doing is running LTE most of the time and only turn on 5G for downloading large files. To stream or check emails is kinda pointless to have 5G on at all times. Once I turned to LTE I've noticed way less heat and a lot more battery.

5G is overrated unless downloading to be honest. LTE does everything just fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Extremely content user here. I do enjoy everything that I expected to get from a pixel phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
I am not sure why some keep insisting that if you disable 5G and whatever else, battery life is "really good." No, it's not, and it's not relevant to most of us.

The Pixel 6 Pro is sold as a 5G device, it is factored in its price and it should function well as such. We should not have to disable standard features to get to "really good."

I have the feeling the really happy bunch are people who come from devices that were years old and would claim "really good" if they got a $400 Chinese phone. The iPhone 13 Pro Max gets almost double the battery life with 5G on. That's "really good" in 2022.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jericho246:
That's a good point. I don't have a 5G subscription, only 4G at the moment, but it's true that we shouldn't have to disable 5G in order to have decent battery life.

dunno about others, but not true for me. I switch phones [too] regularly and my previous one was a S21 Ultra Exynos. So not exactly a cheap Chinese phone. So far the battery life on my Pixel 6 Pro is almost identical to the one I had on the S21 Ultra. Overnight battery drain is always around 0.5% per hour on both devices (note: I disable Wifi and 4G when I go to sleep).

We all know the newest iPhones are in a league of their own when it comes to battery life. I don't know if mentioning iPhones was necessary there. Android users choose Android and stick with it for a reason. If you value battery life over everything else, then I don't know why you'd pick Android over iOS in the first place. 🤔
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hidroela:
not a single complaint. couldn't be more happy 😃

on 12L stock rooted
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
Sharing my experience. 5G for me is pointless unless downloading. I've experienced far better battery life with it off. 5-6hrs sot with 5G and 8-9hrs + with 4G/LTE. We all have our opinions. It works for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
To compare iphone and Android is pointless also. iPhone is very well optimized as Android has all the Google and other background processes constantly running. Just saying. Your opinion,my opinion, it's all biased to each opinion
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
And overall,I am still extremely happy with my 6 pro. I have no complaints about it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
I am not sure it's an unreasonable comparison for many. I personally choose phones based on camera quality nowadays, so for me the choice was between the iPhone Pro Max and the Pixel 6 Pro. I went with the Pixel based on reviews, because of the slightly longer optical zoom and the hype over the custom chip. To my eye, Google and Apple are ahead of the rest in computational photography and they are currently roughly comparable in terms of camera hardware.

Google has gone with a custom chip, just like Apple, and it has complete control over the OS, just like Apple. With the large battery inside the P6Pro, I was expecting Google to do a lot better in terms of optimization, and still hope that they do, against the odds.

The two OSs basically do the same thing for most users, and I actually am a fan of MIUI, since it mimics the UI of iOS, but with Android's level of customization.

Add to this the fact that the P6Pro and the iPhone PMax are essentially the same retail price, and IMO the two are direct competitors in the eyes of many users, which is why I brought it up.

Cheers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Eriol:
Totally happy. No issues at all. Great battery life, does not get warm, no network or bluetooth issues, fast and reliable fingerprint sensor, excellent camera, great display. Nothing to complain about.

Please note, however, that I am on stock Google ROM without any adb or sideload add ons or tricks - just plain OTA updates from time to time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
Im getting a 14pro for sh*&s and giggles. Dont know why but when i did have an iphone XS max i liked the camera somewhat and battery life was great. Hated the screen though. Hopefully the 14 is something appealing to me as i need camera for my current job. I am possibly gonna start work for Tmo coming up shortly and would like the benefits of both worlds. Keeping my 6pro and will most likely buy another iPhone.

MIUI is very appealing to me as well. Just never played with a dedicated phone for it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NYCHitman1:
I am.. content. That would be a more appropriate adjective to describe my feelings with the device. It does everything that I want it to with minimal issues. There is certainly room for improvement, but it's a hell of a lot better overall than many of my other Pixels/Android devices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Az Biker:
The way I understand the "turn off 5G for better batt life" reasoning is this:

Many users with this device live in an area where there is no 5G or very poor 5G signal (not everyone lives downtown in a major city). For those folks, turning off 5G keeps their device from constantly searching for better 5G signal, which in turn saves batt life.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
I'm fuming with Google, my phone still isn't certified with my network (Smarty) & Google tell me its because the network isn't compatible even though the network is Three UK which is certified for the Pixel 6/Pro plus other virtual networks who use it are also certified but as stated Google are playing funny buggers with Smarty who are also owned by Three UK!, I'll NEVER buy an Google product again.

BTW the networks Smarty/Three UK use are N77 & N78 which are both supported as we know by the Pixel 6 so all they have to do is switch them on my mobile for Smarty and I'm up and running but they won't do it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] samteeee:
I'm really happy and haven't had any of the problems I read here in the forum, knock wood!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Norma Stitz:
I'm really happy with mine. Originally I was one of the vocal complainers about the screen color quality and the finger print sensor, but over the last few months the phone has won me over. One month in, I was shopping for a replacement. Now 5 months in, I plan to keep this phone for several years as I've done with previous phones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BlaaaaazedUp:
I'm very content with mine. Haven't experienced any of the issues others have been having. Everytime I read those posts i shed a single tear for them. 😥
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bcltoys:
Has it received the C-band update yet?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darbylonia:
I was very unhappy with mine initially due to bugs but once I updated to the December build it fixed most of my issues. I am still on the December but once March comes I will be updating!

As others said, the phone has gotten better and has won me over. The screen color was a huge issue for me but the color changer app helped. Finger print has been fine. I plan to explore more of the development and experiment. After all, that's why I got my first Pixel - to play around! :ROFLMAO:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TriadX1:
I am 99.9% happy with mine. Ordered it the day they were released and it has been flawless. I have seen the list of supposed issues, but I have not experienced even one of them. It is by far the best phone I've ever owned. The only reason I put 99.9% instead of 100% is because of the delayed update for the feature drops.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] civiksi:
I love almost everything except the fingerprint sensor. Complete trash. I'm blue collar. If I have a smidge of dirt it doesn't work. I wished they put the pixel 2 xl fp sensor on it. And the glass scratches easy...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wight6:
Terrific phone. I have owned it since early January. Fingerprint sensor was resolved by taking multiple prints of the same fingers. No problems now, I love this phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CalsCats:
Yep, had it since release day and no issues, it's the first fingerprint reader that actually works for me too!

I love it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DouglasK:
I've had zero issues since I got it. Fingerprint scanner is fast and stable. No bluetooth issues. No dropped calls. Overall I'm happy so far.

My previous phone was a OnePlus 6t, so this was a huge upgrade.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Danthemanz:
Never had any issues since launch.

I'd take a non curved 120hz screen, but thats an issue with all manufacturers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lwarranty:
Running myriad of flagship phones and carriers, the Pixel 6 Pro has provided me with unbelievably accurate and extremely fast voice recognition, app switching, battery life, enough guts in the sound to give make you feel the beat, its everything I ever wanted in a phone and more than I could have asked for. The esim along with sim allows me to try various services providers without waiting on sims. I have H20 20 buck month plan and the 5g hits 150mbs and drops to 80 depending on my location. I cannot write up an accurate and helpful pro and con I can only say as an active programmer, and professional brick'r of many a device - nothing in my previous models have ever put me a bigger smile on my face, this thing ROCKS - I took a picture of a medicine bottle at 10' and you could read it as though you were 4 inces away, I am STILL learning the options on this beast, its not a sleeper phone, you can tell by its weight, size, screen refresh, snappy ui the horsepower under the hood of this monster has a lot in reserve cause I never had a stutter. The voiceip google voice is flawless, the wireless charger is 23watt and fast, works through the leather folder wallet cover easily and I have never gotten that with other phones and wifi chargers, usually have to shop around to find something to work and then its slow, this thing has enough options on the charging you soon realize it is a GOOGLE designed device, they missed NOTHING!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rajnallan:
I offered my pixel 6 pro the day it opened for pre-order and have been me daily driver. I am extremely happy with the performance and the feature enhancements in addition too the monthly but fixes. Smooth, fast and stellar camera
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] yngdrum:
Stay away from it! Came from a 4XL to a 6 Pro, the screen finger print scanner is not reliable, your signal strength drops by a drastic amount (no case) 2 bars on a 4XL = no signal on a 6Pro. The android system (on latest updates as of 3/17/2022 still have various issues - apps go unresponsive including major apps like Facebook / FB messenger. The game overlay (record, live stream, take a picture) won't go away even if you turn it off in in system settings, I've also had odd Gpay nfc issues, Gpay is supported at the merchant and my bank but I get errors on the terminal...very intermittent, but works after reboot....all in all I wish I could go back toy 4XL and get my money back for this PoS phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] thefactorypilot:
Who says the fingerprint scanner is problematic? Best in screen scsnner I've ever used. My p6p is awesome. Some small stuff, but overall excellent.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] budde.32:
I'm not but I'd be happy to sell you my 3 week old pro so I can buy an iPhone. I've had Google phones since the Nexus 6 with the curved screen. I normally fall in love with them but not this one. I find the new ui clunky, especially when you need to pull a menu from the side and it tires to go back.. I wish the phone was thinner, hate that my IG pics still don't upload as nice as my friend's iPhones. If you get one I hope you love it though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] budde.32:
I have problems with mine every day :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jpasint:
I'm liking mine. Best in-display fingerprint scanner I have used as it works like 98% of the time for me.

Occasional BT drop out on my Sony earbuds but other than that it is the best G phone I have used, as it should be.

Joe
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wilpang:
I'm 99% happy too, had some issues with signal and random restarts but mostly resolved or not deal breakers!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] notalent-assclowns:
Loved the phone since I got it on launch day. So confusing how people are having so many issues with it. Must be different hardware or something. Or luck of the draw.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nestacres76:
Had mine since release date and still love it. Have had none of the issues that are being reported - fingerprint scanner is prety flawless compared to my last S21 ultra - notfications arrive on time (which they didnt on S21U) and no bluetooth drop outs while listening to music. The mobile recption on 5g is a bit patchy sometimes but no calls have dropped and mobile internet is good. Overall much better experiecne thatn s21 ultra so I am happy.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sconny:
This phone itself is great. Good Camera, Good Display, Good Perfomance and GREAT haptics, i love it

But Honestly? The battery life destroys the "magic" of this phone. Don't get me wrong, it's not the worst i've ever seen but even with both betas, the Standby drain kills the battery for me, like 20% lost in WIFI, i don't even have 5G and did everything i know what could help

I think i gonna sell it, especially because i have an iPhone 13PM too. If Google fixes the battery with the new update, then i will probably keep it, but i don't have much hopes..
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lycidias:
Coming from a OnePlus 8 Pro, i am very happy at all.

Things i am concerned about:

-Front Cam quality

-delayed updates
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jon.londrezos:
Very happy. Works 100% including Dev mode with USB debugging.

Because of work I have access to an iPhone 13 Pro Max and to a Samsung S22 Ultra. Reviewers of these flagship phones focus way too much on camera and video performance. The truth is however that ALL modern flagships take amazing pictures and video, and the real differences are in how the handle everything else. It is there where you'll find that the Pixel drops the competition behind, as it is super useable and everything makes sense. If I had to chose one of the three it would be the Pixel every day.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] BobBruff:
Thanks for posting this! I'm still on the fence too even though we just purchased the P6P for my wife. She's heading to England soon and needed a better camera on her phone than her current phone. I'm excited to get hers in and play around with it a little bit to see if any of my concerns are justified or if the P6P will be my next phone! :-D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jfbaudio:
I've been happy with mine since November, moved from a Huawei P20Pro. Rest of the family has Pixel 2/3XL so I have lots of experience with those. The only downside of the P6P so far is the unreliable fingerprint reader... but my cheap screen protector probably doesn't help there.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nafi2000:
I would wait for pixel 7. Tensor is not fully optimised. I heard pixel 7 may release before apple I phone 15.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shag_on_e:
I'm also mostly happy. I've had the Pixel 6 Pro for a few months but have only used it as a backup to my Note 20 Ultra until last week after breaking the back glass on the Note. The Android system on this Pixel feels nicely polished. I don't have much issues with the fingerprint sensor and I have the Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector on. Signal and Bluetooth seem perfectly fine to me also. Now my only gripe is wishing there were more developers ☹️. Flashing is a major pain with no TWRP!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] WarezAppz:
His ego
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] finbaar:
No phone is perfect. And no phone is the "right" device for everyone. But I've found the P6P to be very good at the things I want it to do. The only let down for me is no desktop mode, but I had enough of poor Samsung devices just to get that one feature.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] GtarSkater:
To be honest, I'm not thrilled. I have had the Pro since launch, and if it's not one thing, it's another. Here are my gripes....

- UI crashes

- Garbage sound quality on Android Auto

- Keyboard freezing or just disappears entirely

- Camera being buggy and not taking quality photos

- Bluetooth not wanting to stay paired

Now, these aren't 24/7 but when it happens it's extremely frustrating
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LandLockedPH:
No issues with the 6 Pro since launch. I wish the updates would be on schedule, but that will get worked out. Camera is incredible and WiFi and Bluetooth have been rock solid. Haven't had any of the reported "issues".
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DanteRocco:
I am not a fan. Screen issues around the side bezels. 50% chance I can get it to recognize touches. That's with no cover on it too. Overall, I'm not happy with this purchase. I have also been using just the Pixel launcher. I did have my screen replaced for a small chip in it, but that did not resolve my problem.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] corbs132:
Haven't had a single issue with mine, other than having a hard time turning the flashlight on without having to unlock the phone.

I worked around that with flar2's Button Mapper so I can double tap or hold a volume button to turn on the flashlight (only while screen off so it doesn't interfere with normal volume button usage).

For screen on quick access to flashlight, I set up Tasker secondary app to toggle flashlight, and launch the secondary on double tap gesture.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iFlak:
Running stock, I wasn't bothered much by the previous issues and after the last update, the phone is everything I need and more. The camera is fantastic, the OS is intuitive and it has a lot of nice customizing features. I bought a battery manager app to stop the charge at 90% (AccuBattery Pro, they have a free version too) and it's been running great with no crashes. I do miss my ROG phone's coolness factor, but since I don't really game on my phone anymore, I really didn't need it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] chrisdark77:
I came from a defective Fold3 to this Pixel 6 Pro and was so excited. Right away I was pretty frustrated that the fingerprint reader wasn't working right. My internet died a lot (wifi/5G/LTE). I had to go in and out of airplane mode a lot. Being a beta freak that I am I went with 12L! It seemed to fix the connection issues but then I was plagued with random reboots and left pretty disappointed. The phone is gorgeous, felt amazing.. but was turning out to be pretty crappy. Last night I decided to factory reset it after only having it a week. Well Holy crap. It's like the 12L beta install was botched or something because now I have a pile of new options and the restarts (knock on wood) have stopped!! Also. A tip. This time when I set up the fingerprint reader I held my thumb a little sideways instead of up and down. Worked!!! No problems at all now. The phone does get hot at times but I can live with that. Spigen are making some pretty neat cooling cases now I look forward to trying eventually. Connection seems better. I'm back to being excited about my new Pixel now!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Darth Grimnir:
No issues here. Stock build, purchased from Google, locked bootloader.

I have all 5 finger print slots used to help with unlocking the device with 3 different fingers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Birdsfan:
I have a 13 pro max as a backup phone and as much as I love Android and hate apple I find the hardware of the iphone to be better in most regards. Flat screen vs curved, little thicker which i like, frosted glass back vs glossy. Battery is WAY better, not even close which I would think Google will improve upon with time and their own chip. Even ios feels more android like with the widgets and minimal customization that can be done. Add AOD and I would be more inclined to us the iphone as much as I hate saying that out loud. Always after a few days of use and maybe it's my lack of experience with ios but I find "doing things" on ios to be cumbersome where Android is not. And as a throw in I hate the ios dialer, Googles is so much easier to use. Here's to hoping the Pixel 7 Pro is a flat screened slightly thicker phone with a frosted glass back and better battery life. ;)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rjd262:
Me, I'm loving mine :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MiZzCHaOtic:
I'm loving it... easily the best Pixel yet. I've had the Pixel XL, 3XL and 5.. this one is definitely way more fancy and pretty... lolol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rmanaka01:
I've owned Pixel phones since almost the very beginning (Galaxy Nexus) and the phone is both amazing yet buggy. I have run all the beta releases as well as the production versions of Android 12 and am currently using the new quarterly pre-release S3B1.220218.004. Bluetooth connectivity is spotty at best and I am finding that using with Amazon Echo Auto is unworkable if you use Waze navigation at the same time. Sometimes audio is good for a while then it becomes choppy and unrecognizable for directions. The only way to reset is to turn off Bluetooth and then turn it back on. (dangerous when driving). Also periodically get a very loud and high-pitched noise when on a call. Caller doesn't hear the noise but gets dead air! UI occasionally freezes (Pixel Launcher) even as a non-rooted user. I would either wait a few months to see if any of the production releases fix the call noise and bluetooth issues or wait until the Pixel 7 releases.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
I'm on 12 stock, Verizon, locked bootloader waiting for both the monthly and the OS updates. Should be in a few days. I'm good! 😁
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lowwater:
Decided to get out from under Samsung and Pixel 6 was my choice. After the last update have had no issues. Put a screen protector on and fingerprint reader ceased to recognize. Works perfectly without the protector. Very fast read. Very pleased.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Stormchylde:
I am. Zero problems, fast setup, everything came over, fast and happy. Taking a bit to get used to the new gestures, but in time they became as embedded as the old gestures.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nocturrne:
I've had my P6P for about a month and love it. I think people who bought phones from the first production runs had a rough experience with hardware and software problems. I waited and ordered mine 4.5 months after launch and had zero issues. TBH, I'm not that into the "Pixel experience" thing though. I flashed mine with GrapheneOS after the first week. I can literally go 3 days on 1 charge, after removing all of the background spyware services.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MahoVader:
Absolutely LOVE mine. No issues. FPS takes a little getting used to, but I've avoided any of the problems that have been harped on about. If I wanted a flat screen I would have gotten the regular 6, but it feels a lot like my old trusty P2XL. Each update seems to get more solid, but again I never had any issues.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mclardass:
Running stock and my P6P has been very stable since the January update. Like others have mentioned, the most glaring issue is the fingerprint unlock. I've reset it multiple times, before and after a screen protector, and it's still hit-or-miss when unlocking. Otherwise, performance and cameras are excellent and I'm happy with the choice.
