Google Pixel 6

Paul_Oregon · 15 hours ago

I am what you would call a Google fan. I have invested heavily in the Google ecosystem and owned every Google phone since they released the first one. To say they have improved over the years would be an understatement, but the Pixel 6 has, in my opinion, been a disappointment. I'm on my second Pixel 6. I cross-traded my first P6 in for a second one hoping that the issues I was having might be solved since I had heard that some Pixel 6 owners weren't experiencing the same issues I was having, which were a VERY sluggish and hit and miss fingerprint scanner and connection issues. But my second P6 is just as bad as the first. There are times I have to reboot my phone just to call out. I've been seriously considering another phone, but I've just gotten to love the instant Android updates and the pure Android experience. I was SO hoping that Google would resolve these issues with updates but that simply hasn't happened. I feel stuck and that's not a good feeling.

I bought my phone 1 year ago. It get so hot at times I have to put it in front of the fan to cool off. I'm not pleased at all.

This phone will do random things if a finger gets near the screen but nothing happens when you touch the screen to launch a link. Phone calls and voice mails are hit or miss. The amount of spam phone calls are horrendous. Don't buy a Google phone. Google WANTS you yo get all kinds of spam. Unfortunately I can't return the phone to Verizon but I may be able to trade it in to another provider. The Google implementation of Android is the version only the Android programmers love. The enhancements are making Android unusable. What we need is a stable version of Android.

Freezes up at least half the times I try to use my camera. Volume will randomly lower when I'm listening to anything. It's absolute rubbish. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF TRASH. I should've kept my Pixel 2XL instead of trading it in for what was supposed to be $300 but Verizon only gave me $10 for it despite it being a much better phone in excellent condition (upgraded because the battery life was starting to be a problem).

BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE -- IT IS GARBAGE. i purchased the Pixel 6 in March -- right from the beginning I had problems making calls -- within a couple of weeks I could not make any calls at all. After getting FCC involved, Google sent me a replacement -- WORSE THAN THE ORIGINAL -- WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO GOOGLE -- THE LAST GOOD PIXEL WAS THE 4xl THE 6 IS TRASH. Worse Google does not take responsibility and send a working phone. Not sure any of their phones work anymore. does not even deserve the poor rating below -- it is worse than poor and so is Google's response.

Pixel 6 - on the plus smaller and lighter than other phones. NEGATIVE - battery out of box and fully charged lasted 26 hours - no phone calls made! I don't use social media, don't utilize texting [3-5 / week], don't game, or anything other than calls and occasional texting. Calls generally last 15 min to an hour [battery drain 6% on short calls, long calls 10-12%]. i only use the phone as a phone, and rarely take it out of the house unless I'm leaving for two or three days. Alas, now I can no longer do that! The old phone lasted 5 days with a similar utilization pattern. Everything is disabled that can be, extreme battery saver is on, and still lucky if the battery lasts 48 hours. Disappointing, frustrated, and annoyed

At six months old, this phone has very poor battery life. I plug it in twice a day, although I don't watch movies or play games. It also heats up often, not quite daily, and needs restarted to fix it. The swipe area on the screen is large, and scrolling through an article involves pulling the page back up multiple times. I want my Pixel 2 back, honestly. At least LifeProof makes a case for that one

My last three phones have been Pixels, going back to the 3. This phone is by far the worst. Voice to text barely works. Have to restart the phone at least four or five times a day to get past frozen apps, voice to text issues, network connection issues, etc. I'd say 4 out of 5 times I end up typing in my password because the fingerprint scanner doesn't work. I've had the phone for two months and won't have it much longer. ITS REALLY BAD! DONT BUY THIS PHONE!

I have been a long time Pixel owner (pre ordered the first one and have owned every one since then) and I have to say that this is easily the worst one I've ever had and I am contemplating switching back to a Samsung and not returning to the Pixel platform. The Pixel 4 was the best one in my opinion. My Pixel 6 has so many bugs and overheats when using a wireless charger (my wife's Pixel 6 does not do this but my sisters overheats like mine does). It will also randomly disconnect itself from my cars wireless carplay and I tested my workphone which also has Android auto capabilities and it had no issues on a 5 hour trip so I know it was an issue solely with my Pixel and not my vehicle. Overall very disappointed as it seems Google took 10 steps back with this phone when they were making pretty good progress forward with the others.

My husband and I have had pixels for our last 3 phones. This one has by far been the worst. It is buggy, my Bluetooth doesn't always work, the volume on it goes it's own thing no matter how I change the settings. But the worst out of all of it, the fingerprint sensor. I get locked out of my phone and many applications because the fingerprint sensor/biometrics never work. I have rescanned my fingerprints SO. MANY TIMES to no avail. Once in a while it will work and I don't need to fight to get in to Google pay or other accounts. But, 9 times out of 10, I end up having to use my password or get locked out for a bit.
