I owned a Google pixel 2XL and absolutely loved it. So I figured why not get another pixel. When I went to the store, they were out of the regular Pixel 6 and suggested the pro. The salesman said that it has a battery life of 25 hours which I really liked. I decided to get it but once I got home and messed around with it, I realized that I already want to return it. The phone gets hot if you are using it for more than an hour (watching TikTok, YouTube videos). I also noticed that whenever I charged it when I go to bed, so it'll be on the charger for 8 hours, it will only charge to 84%. The second I take it off the charger, it drops to 81%. I've only had this phone for 2 days and regretting it. The screen is large which is nice but it slopes off the sides a little bit. The design looks nice, however, when using Instagram or Facebook, some of the editing software to enlarge text falls right on that slope so it makes it difficult to mess around with photos. The camera is ok. Takes nice pictures but it doesn't like to focus on things up close. There also isn't a back button. On the old Pixel, it was near the bottom of the phone. On this phone, you have to swipe left somewhere in the upper left area of the screen. Which is obnoxious because you can't always find that sweet spot and end up swiping forever until you can just go back to a page you wanted. The charger that is provided is a Usb-c and is that in both ends. They don't provide you with a wall charger, just the cord. Which means that if you don't have the wall charger, you have to go buy an adapter for it. There's no headphone jack which means that you'll have to buy an adapter for that as well. I've used the adapter and my phone reads it as a charger, and not headphones. I tried also using my square reader with the adapter and this phone kept thinking it was trying to get a charge when I'm not charging it. Overall, I'm very disappointed in the new Pixel and regret buying this. Will definitely return and get a different brand

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Don't know why some are complaining...have used it a lot the past week since receiving it. My wife and I got the same 256G option. Cameras are very good so far. Occasionally too much sharpening but this will be tweeked in future updates. Had similar issues with past phones. Battery life is fantastic. I used my pixel 6 pro for well over two hours screen on time and only use 16% of my battery. Wow! Charges fast enough...and I like that it slows down a lot when charging is over 80%. This will save the battery and make it last longer before requiring a replacement. Highly recommended!

A lot of people are complaining a lot about this phone, but it has been AMAZING for me! I got it the day it was released and haven't looked back. I run an entire online business from my phone and it hasn't missed a beat. The camera is phenomenal, the speaker is clear and pretty loud, and the battery is pretty good considering I run it all day on the brightest setting. I used to have Pixel 3 and I do miss being able to squeeze it for the Google Assistant. But if you read about your phone before you review it, you'll discover that they made that feature better by using the power button. Also, there have been lots of complaints that there's no back button, but if you turn off the gestures your back button will be there again. People should get to know their phone before they give it a bad review. I have had it over a month and still am learning things about it as I do new things with it. I tell you what though, the camera is truly awesome. I'm terrible at taking pictures but this phone makes them come out perfect every time. I could have Parkinson's and it would still hold a steady clear picture! If you do get a Pixel 6 pro, make sure you Google all of the things it can do and learn how to do it before you trash the quality of the phone.

Got the white 6 pro. Issues from day one. Hard time transferring data unlike the 2, 3,4 xl. Phone has been crashing since day one. Keep getting that "System UI" crash error. Phone is slow. Pictures are wonderful but that's it. I'm not sure it's my phone or what but supper dissatisfied with it.

This is the best phone I've ever had, by far. I'm not sure why some people are having problems with it. My cameras focus fine and are crystal clear -- best phone camera now available. My 4X zoom works and is beautiful, I haven't had an issue with Bluetooth (though I haven't tried it in my car). The battery is the same size as in the Samsungs -- the iPhone does have more camera life than either -- maybe Google needs to tweak the software. I haven't seen any jerkiness, but you could probably increase battery life and increase speed by ratcheting down the display rate to 90. If you're having problems with zoom, focus, graininess, etc., your phone is defective and you should return it under the warranty. I preferred the fingerprint scanner on the rear, but I timed it and the one on the front takes less than half a second to activate -- if it's taking loner for you, have it relearn your fingerprints or add a second fingerprint of the same scanner to improve accuracy. Someone said the screen feels like plastic, but it's exactly the same Gorilla Glass as in any top of the line phone. IIRC, the display is made by Samsung. I like the curve, makes it easy to slide my finger. I haven't noticed anything wrong with the case material -- aluminum and glass -- but the glass is too slippery. I use it with a case, anyway -- doesn't anybody use their phones without a case? Anyway, the new Tensor chip is amazing -- amazing dictation and photo processing, the Magic Eraser is really cool and I'm using it all the time. Someone complained that it no longer has the squeeze feature, but that's been replaced by a better one -- hold the power button in and Google Assistant comes up. As with other Pixels, I much prefer stock Android to the bloated Samsung interface. The iPhone interface looks nicer than Android, but it's also super crippled by comparison. The iPhone is also a better looking phone, but the Samsung is not.

This phone was overhyped. I was trying to brag about it to family yesterday and it got outperformed by an old iPhone and a newer Samsung in every category. NOT to mention the fact that I'm nearly a month in and it still has tons of bugs in everyday usage. It makes no sense to pay such a premium on a phone that has so many issues. OH, and don't get me going on this giant camera bump.. it's unbearable.

Switch over to Verizon and had the opportunity to get a new phone. I decided to go with the Google Pixel 6 Pro. Now coming from Samsung I was a little hesitant because I felt like I was down grading. However after a couple days with the phone I was pretty impress. Depending how you use your phone, but if your and normal individual that occasionally call, text, listen to music, surf thru the web, answer emails even play a few games here and there, you can go the whole day with out charging and still have battery life. From 6am 100% I would go down to 32% by 7pm and still have 6 hours left before my phone battery is at zero. It all depends on how you have your phone set up. Another point is adaptive battery, give your phone a couple weeks to adjust to your usage to prolong the life of the battery throughout the day. The design and innovation of this device can compete with other flagship phone in my opinion.

I have been looking forward to this phone for months and jumped at the opportunity to pre-order it when it was finally released! Two big disappointments though! First, the phone completely locks up when I try using the 4x zoom! Really bad given that the camera is supposed to be one of the top features! Second, I cannot use the Bluetooth in my car for calls. Calls drop from Bluetooth a little after 2 minutes and then I have to use the speaker to talk while driving! Not ideal given that the sound quality isn't great on speaker! I've reset the phone to factory default but this has not resolved the problem! So very disappointed Google y'all need to do better!

Love the new design and new features, it's a bit hard to navigate to be honest. I had the pixel 3xl, best phone ever. Front camera CANT focus and it's super grainy, and it's really annoying since my pixel 3xl never had that problem and this was supposed to be a top of line camera. The back camera focuses weirdly too, but no other complaints. This phone is getting hot, easily. It's also not running as fast. No opinion on the battery yet as I like to give it a few weeks to fully see how it performs. I hope they can fix these bugs so this can be an optimal choice, but for now I'm not going to recommend this phone and I wish I could go back to the pixel 3xl.

When the camera is a major selling point for the phone, the camera should NOT cause the phone to freeze, crash, and restart. Consistent problem with the camera. It's so disappointing that a "premium" phone would be released with such a major bug. I want to enjoy my phone and I want to be able to take a lot of great pictures...but with this phone I can't.
