[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Yensid eno:
Mentioned many times, got to be able to use the phone as a phone. Connection to cell towers on P6P is absolutely the worst ever. This my 3rd: Pixel 2XL (best of all), 4a5g, P6P, and my wife has 4a. I am suffering still with this unit due to the camera and quick updates. Maybe a fold phone next, but not sure if I will do Google again. I mean, shouldn't the phone hardware be an easy thing to get right on a phone?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Yensid eno:
Is it a new modem? I am still reading through the whole thread. Wondering, is it a known unit with good track record?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
I haven't read anywhere that mentions the P7P having a new modem..
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
"Reportedly", it will have a new, but unreleased, modem (Samsung Exynos 5300).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Pretty much everything in this post is wrong. Just stop ffs.

CPU: 4nm die shrink means more efficient power and the boosted clock speeds show it.

GPU: Mali G710, up from G78. An upgrade and same GPU as Mediatek flagships.

Camera: New telephoto Samsung GN1. Both phones get new ultrawide selfie sensors with possible autofocus.

Modem: Unreleased chip but should add Release 16 5G and 3+ carrier aggregation.

Display: Pro rumored to reach 1500 nits brightness.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nestacres76:
Its clearly new camera's with macro focus, different ultra wide angle and 30x zoom. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/major-google-pixel-7-camera-upgrades-just-got-tipped
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sigray:
Doesnt matter. Check the posted samples.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
How did you find out about the new modem? If that's true, I imagine it would be much better than the 3-4 year old, known-to-be-problematic modem in the Pixel 6 series.

Side note, but I always wonder why so many people want something more hypothetically equivalent to 13900K processing speed on their cellphones, haha. If you're running stock Android (so any Android builds from Google), you don't need that speed, as the OS is often optimized to run smoothly with lesser hardware. It's more about getting better power efficiency whilst creating less heat output.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
Deduction. Samsung is done with Release 15 even if their Exynos modems are at least a year behind the Snapdragon modems they use. The 5133 in the S22 Exynos was Release 16. The 5300 in the Pixel 7 is supposedly even newer.

It could still be only 2CA though. Main question is whether the modem is bolted on like the Pixel 6 or actually part of the CPU now like a normal Exynos phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
It was first reported by Cstark27 back in February.

First details of Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro come roaring out: 2nd-gen Tensor, new Samsung modem

9to5Google has uncovered concrete details of the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, including the devices’ codenames, Tensor chip, and Samsung modem.

9to5google.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
TBF i have all on telling the difference between my Pixel 5 images and my Pixel 6 Pro images and i'd say there was a fair old leap in hardware there.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] itiskonrad:
Ok, so I said I wouldn't upgrade before, but in light of new information, I just did lol.

Optical zoom increased from 4x to 5x, face unlock, a white model with 512gb, and $540 trade in for my white 256gb 6 pro + $200 Google store credit?

For $1,190 (after tax) - $540 - $200 = $450 to upgrade to 7 pro with higher zoom, face unlock, and increased storage from 256gb to 512gb? Yeah, I bit. Hopefully the modem is at least a little better! 🤞
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Wellll... I caved in too. Got a black 256 GB (finally, no more 128 only here!) and it comes with a FREE Pixel Watch LTE!

999 euros for everything. Now what am I gonna do with my brand new 6 Pro? 😅
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hand-filer:
And still no 512GB model for Canada. Hard pass for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bosox284:
Pretty much my thinking as well. I also had the ~$95 from Google One last year, did the same thing again this year so I get another ~$95. Hoping the G2 improvements will reduce the overheating and the modem will be improved. Both are big QoL updates in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] domhall012N8:
I recently purchased a P6P 512GB... At that cost, I seem to be softening on the idea that Google offers a little-bit less... But it also costs a little-bit less...

So a question please... We keep referring to the new P7P as a "flagship"... Surely, Google has the capability to cram a bit more of the best tid-bits, if they were willing to make a much more expensive device, at the same price-point as a comparable, say, 512gb Apple or Samsung "flagship"?

Is this really intended to be "the next flagship", or is it simply Googles "more affordable flagship", where it costs a little less, thus a little less is to be expected?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] somethingsomethingroot:
Google is saying the first thing, but it's been playing out as more of the second thing. Where the "less" comes in is the question though. The modem and fingerprint issues were bad enough that people should expect better, even at those prices.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
Camera information isn't completely right.

P7P compared to P6P:

- main Camera is the same GN1 sensor

- UW camera is also the same IMX 381 sensor but with macro mode and wider angle

- front camera is a new and better sensor (S5K3J1)

- tele sensor is everywhere mentioned to be the GM1
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Hmm...I was not really impressed. Will stick with the P6P until the P8P. I don't have any experience with smartwatches, but battery only lasts 1 day???? Really. Ok it is not a watch but my wife's Fitbit lasts for more than a week one one charge.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] scott.hart.bti:
So strictly out of curiosity, I saw the preorder pixel 7 pro and wanted to see how much the trade in for the pixel 6 pro would be. Granted, I have the 128gb model, but seriously only $280 trade in value? Buy it new for $899, use it for 1 year, and get $280 back. So essentially $620 (70 percent) less than retail after 1 year? Seriously pathetic Google. Can't wait to see next year... At this rate I'll be lucky to see $50 trade in value.

Edit: Actually the above was through "Google Fi shop"... Through Google store, it's $480 trade in value. Wow... That makes a ton of sense?

Either way, hard pass for me. I'll save the cash instead of buying the exact same phone with a new name.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KHANrad_SIN:
Wow, that's a really low amount. I have the 256 GB model and it says they would give me 540 for trade-in.

As far as actually upgrading to the Pixel 7 pro, there are only two things that draw me to it. The first is the face unlock (which I'm hoping maybe will come to the Pixel 6 pro later? ) And the second is that Hazel color lol. A very niche colorway but it's my favorite color combo, olive green with some kind of brass/gold/brown. Paired with the official Google green silicone case with gold buttons I think it would look really nice.

But at the end of the day I think I will still stick with my P6P as the improvements aren't significant enough.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
So if not the Pixel 7 Pro, if you were going to upgrade this year, which phone would you go with?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's tempting, hell, they're offering $100 for the OG Pixel and Pixel XL, even - probably trying to get the unlimited photos storage off the market. :D

But in the end, I don't think I can justify the $$$.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gpvecchi:
IT'S DISPLAY IS FLAT! This will makes me more prone to buy it. No preorder now, I'll wait and see...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] scott.hart.bti:
Getting ready for the disgusted responses, but I am pretty interested to see what the OnePlus 11 offers in the first quarter of 2023. Pro model of course.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
I bit the bullet as well. I will be trading in my P6P 256GB (black) for a P7 Standard 128GB model (white). With the trade-in applied, it comes out to around $110 after tax. I would prefer the Pro 128GB edition of course, but with the trade in value applied, that would have still costed around $450 after tax. Yikes.

Also, to clarify for some, the $120-$220 you get for pre-ordering is only in the form of a Google Store gift card and cannot be applied to your Pixel 7 phone upgrade =(

*Edit* - I may or may not have changed my order to the P7P... I can't escape from the 120hz display option... It's time to sell some old stuff online to make up for the extra $300 that it'll cost me... I'm currently upset about it but may be a bit happier once the 14th strikes.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Google Pixel 7 vs Google Pixel 7 Pro: What do you get for an extra $300?

The Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro aren't just different sizes. They have some different features that'll make one more worth it over the other.

www.xda-developers.com

Only the non-Pro 7 has a flat-screen, just as only the non-Pro 6 has a flat-screen.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Apparently, the 7 Pro has a "smaller" curve than the 6 Pro. But I haven't been able to find any confirmation of this anywhere for now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cmh714:
It gave me 480 for a P6P w/128....so something is off over there.

*****EDIT - Read more, yeah you found the 480 but still expensive
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Misterxtc:
Seeing that I have a nice working P6P and a spare S21 Ultra 256GB I took the plunge and ordered a Pixel 7 Pro. They gave me $620 for the Samsung plus a $200 store credit, I couldn't resist. My wife gets the 1 week old 6 Pro if all is well with the P7.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] itiskonrad:
This is true about the gift card. I actually ended up cancelling my Google preorder because it's a bit unlikely I'd use $200 there, and made a new preorder at Best Buy for the same! Turns out they're also offering a $200 gift card, which I would definitely use up at Best Buy. They're also offering $5 more for my trade in ($545 for my white P6Pro 256gb rather than $540 from Google), and with my Best Buy credit card, I get $50 back!

If you don't need a trade in, Amazon's comparable offer for a $200 gift card with P7Pro preorder is probably the most useful/flexible gift card you can get. But as far as I could tell, they're not offering the unusually large trade-in value for the 6 pro Best Buy and Google are.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Damn new, bright, shiny objects in the store window 🙃

Well, I have 15 days to test it out. Traded in my Pixel 4 XL for $305. If I like the 7 Pro then I might sell my 6 Pro on Swappa, where it looks like the current rate for one in good condition (mine would probably qualify as Mint) is around $500. Let's say I get $450 for the 6 Pro and $305 for the 4 XL=$755. That's basically paying $144 for the 7 Pro (128GB) plus the $200 Google Store credit.

Yes, this is how I'm justifying it 😂
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ggrant3876:
Don't think so, went with the Fold 4 and it blows the Pixel series out of the water in just about every department except fast updates.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] matlear:
Made a pre-order tonight in EU store. 999Euro for P7Pro with free Pixel Watch LTE. Will easily get 480Euro selling my immaculate P6Pro in local ads. Not bad in my opinion. Looking forward to getting the watch mainly and testing out the macro photography.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I saw Verizon offered Zagg's screen protector for the 7 Pro - I don't know if what they show is a accurate representation, but the curve is still noticeable on the sides of the screen protector.

I thought my wife's and my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 512 GB were Mint when I sold them after I got our Pixel 6 Pros 512 GB last year. One of the Swappa moderators saw what they claimed were tiny scratches around the charging port, so I had to degrade the listing to the next best offering.

Hopefully, you have better luck.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlDollaz:
I'll wait for the 8 at the very least. I just bought the P6P 512gb in September and I'm happy with it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
The Pixel 7 series is here with the second-gen Tensor SoC, brighter displays, and improved cameras

After months of leaks and teasers, Google has finally launched its latest flagship smartphones -- the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Read on to learn more about the devices.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
The one thing about trading up to a seven is that the trade-in value on my P6P is pretty damn good. Like $480 so almost half off. It’s still a pixel and it’s not a downgrade. It’s just not the upgrade that you hope for when you’re buying a new flagship device and that makes me think twice about doing it. I have never been a Samsung fan but waiting for the S 23 ultra 5G would be a big step, but trade-in value on this would go down and that is a much more expensive phone if it’s consistent with the 22 Ultra
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
TBH, the curved screen on the 6 pro has never bothered me. I really don’t even notice it in the case
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] old_fart:
lot more brightness nits

batt is 3 milli ampere hours less ( 5003 to 5000 )

what did I miss ?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
CPU's mid cores have been bumped from A76 to A78 which should be a pretty decent battery bump by itself in day to day tasks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Only £320 trade in for a P6P in the UK.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Ahh, bummer. I guess I'm gonna have to live with it! But if it's slightly less curved, that'd be nice.

I know, right?! 😅

I said I wasn't gonna upgrade but the free Pixel Watch LTE in Europe got me. I have an OG Huawei Watch (from 2016) and was looking to upgrade it for something not too expensive. Guess you can't beat free in this case!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
that free watch is swinging my pants as well
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Rumlik:
I wanted to upgrade my Pixel 6 Pro to the Pixel 7 Pro, however, I found a note hidden on Google's site again that the 5G network will not be available in regions where it is not sold/agreed otherwise.

Thus, once again, the 5G network is blocked and will only be unblocked by Google's setup for a given carrier if the Pixel has a dealership there.

They're getting really lame with this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HipKat:
If Best Buy and Google are offering a $200 Gift Card, I could seriously use new air buds
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fkofilee:
Already ordered :)

Three UK Upgrade - Can claim Pixel Watch
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nestacres76:
I presume the lower treade in value is because we get the watch free on pre order which would be £379 otherwise
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Is the $200 Google Store credit per device, or total - so that if ordering two, there'll be $400 Google Store credit? I'm aware that if we were so inclined, my wife could just order hers separately to get the $200 Google Store credit, but I'd like to know all the options, in case we decide to upgrade after all.

I'm also aware we could go through Best Buy, too. We'd want the 512 GB option again, and I don't think that's available on Amazon, so that's one less option.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
The fine print says "Limit 1 per customer".

Hmmmmmm. I've been waiting for Android devices to have Gen 2. Maybe some do - I don't know, but not most and never Pixel before.

Keeping in mind they only include a USB 2.0 cable, but that's expected from OEMs these days and I have my own 3.2 Gen 2 (and Gen 2x2 🤪) cables.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Thanks! Yep, I saw that. Here's a bit more info on the changes from the 6 to the 7. The middle cores were indeed upgraded, despite early leaks saying they weren't. Also, the modem looks to be a Samsung 5300g, not the 5300b that was leaked earlier. I take a lot of photos, especially with zoom (wildlife and such), so the camera upgrade, although not massive, was very enticing for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Here are some samples of the Super Res Zoom on the Pixel 7 Pro that someone posted. Pretty impressive, imo.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
I'm still quite happy with my Pixel 5. I've never been one to need the latest and greatest. I don't really like the new design that was introduced with the 6; that camera bump is awkward and ugly IMO.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] radekmazur:
I'm only upgrading because it will cost me around $80 to go from P6 to P7.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Ugh, the included cable is only 2.0? That sucks!

Do you mind sharing the ones you use?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Very nice, thanks! Too bad Best Buy doesn't list the 512GB Pixel 6 Pro in the trade-in possibilities - they only list the 128 GB and 256 GB, with the 256 GB giving $545. I know I could potentially get more money selling on Swappa, but a lot of people might be selling their 6 Pros next week, potentially driving the price down.

Me neither - I used my Pixel 1 until a few months after it stopped receiving updates - at that point, the Pixel 1 was noticeably sluggish in comparison to new phones, and I'm now happy with my Pixel 6 Pro. Since we always use our phones in OtterBox Defender cases, the bump doesn't bother me at all since it actually becomes recessed with the case on.

I like to put 400 GB of FLAC format music files locally on our Android devices, so the USB 3.2 Gen 2 versus Gen 1 speed is definitely enticing, so instead of spending three hours copying music to the new phone, it might only be an hour and a half. :D

Anker is almost always a great choice but more recently I've also been buying JSAUX brand (not all of their cables are USB 3.x and not all are Gen 2 either) and very most recently for a shorter USB 3.2 Gen 2 cable I bought Conmdex brand and they've worked just fine including for Android Auto in the car (not all Android Auto cars use USB 3.x ports at all, but some do, so at least Gen 1).

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with any of those brands, nor do I make any money from anyone buying any of those brands. :D
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
I went for it anyway, £320 trade in, whatever i can get for the Pixel watch and £25 Google Play credit seems like a pretty good deal.

I want to share a permanent hardware fix for the wifi antenna I found on 4pda. I did this on a 9T of a family member and it worked.

So if you have poor wifi reception with your Redmi 9T you might want to consider this fix.

Original post on 4pda: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1012221&st=14360#entry116474842

Pictures showing the wifi antenna sticker on the plastic back cover

View attachment 5706557View attachment 5706559

Some remarks:

- shutdown the phone

- remove sim tray

- the plastic back cover must be removed. Be very carefull not to damage the on/off/fingerprint cable still connected to the back cover !!! Take your time !!!

- leave the fingerprint cable/button alone, no need to separate

- try to restore the sealing strip around the camera block before reassembling

- use sharp tiny knife to seperate the wifi antenna connectors in the back cover (pink arrow), make sure they don't connect anymore

- when placing the back cover back on the phone do the side with the sim tray first, else you bend the sim tray opening in the cover

One video on how tho remove the back cover:

(I prefer plastic tools and my nails to seperate)

Hope this helps. All at your own risk.

Cheers

2. fix anten wifi like guide of you it work ?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Atanassoww:
How do you want the Signal to improve? Like you, you just Almost gutted it.. You just have to cut it in the middle a little bit.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] tweakradje:
No video available. It's very easy and straight forward. Do not mess with the contacts on the motherboard. Hope you manage to salvage them.

The wifi antenna is just a sticker on the back cover. To make the cut is very easy. No force needed. Be gentle.

I flashed latest official crDroid 7.15 A11 (https://crdroid.net/juice/7) but I think the wifi problem is mainly hardware (antenna) related. I don't like A12 (crDroid 8.x) at all but tested it and it also works fine.
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Atanassoww:
Yes.. This is on the back plastic cover.

@Skcyte thanks for the extra tip. The trick in the OP did it for me and is much simpler to do.
