Google Pixel 6

Tra41 · 1 day ago

Major connectivity issues. I can NOT use it for the main function of making a phone call! Google ignores me and says they have never heard of the issue. Verizon was ignoring me and then I got a representative that at least tried and guided me to reset all my networks and apps. He also sent me a new sim card. I still can not use it for phone calls! I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me. I get broken glitchy sounds when using my cars Bluetooth with it. My husband and son will both have service with their pixel 3xl and pixel 4a and I don't have service! Google needs to fix the issue or refund me so I can purchase a phone that I can make phone calls with!!! Other cons: the finger print read is slow and doesn't work half time despite buying the expensive screen cover that Google recommend. If your finger has even a touch of dirt or moisture plan on using your pin because it won't read. The camera bump is annoying and the phone wont sit flat Pros: it isn't bogged down with unnecessary apps that you never use so the storage space is great Battery last me a whole day with heavier use and I can get 2 days of battery life when used lightly. (Anyone who says it charges slowly needs to learn about the adaptive charging option. It is designed to charge slowly at night and be fully charged by the time your alarm goes off in the morning. This can be shut off in the settings if it doesn't work for you. I chose to leave mine on and if I do want to boost the charge during the day it charges rapidly)

I had a Pixel 2 for as long as I could limp it along. Loved that phone! So I was excited to try the new Pixel 6. While it still has some of the great built in features I loved on my old Pixel, they many bugs and issues make me wish I'd never bought the 6. Stay away from this phone. For example: The finger print scanner is terrible. you have to scan multiple times and I still end up entering my backup pin most times. When my phone rings, it automatically displays the pull down menu. I have to swipe to clear that menu before I can see who is calling and answer the phone. The auto-dim doesn't work well. The screen is consistently too dark and then switches to blinding on a whim. The bluetooth causes the navigation system in my car to freeze up and/or randomly drops in the middle of calls. This makes it almost impossible to use hands-free while driving. Pages load very slow. My husbands Samsung loads pages way faster and he's sitting right next to me on the same network. These are just the top of mind items. I'm here hunting a new phone to trade-in my Pixel 6. So sad.

I'm sorry to say stay away from this phone. This was my first Google phone and some things work good but there are two major issues. It is constantly dropping the Bluetooth connection and it is constantly dropping calls. No matter how many updates I do or reboots I do. The problem is constant. I almost forgot,,, the at a glance feature. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't

Google Pixel 4 was probably my favorite phone ever. Pixel 6 is the worst!

Had the device 5 months and really liked it - preferred the experience over Samsung. As expected Android runs extremely well and there are sevrral cool features that happen seamlessly. Accidentally exposed to 2' of water for 10 minutes. This is well within the IP68 specification, but it completely bricked the phone. It will not accept charge or respond and has visible moisture in the camera lens, despite drying in rice for weeks. Went back to Samsung for real water resistance. Phone did not perform to specification and is a total loss after 5 months.

This is an update to my prior 1 star review. Many others have noted that their Pixel 6 overheats frequently. I didn't note that in my prior review, but it is definitely a problem that occurs often, and without a clear association to any specific activity. If I didn't have a protective cover on it, I likely couldn't stand to have it in my pocket. This will likely be my last Pixel. The prior two (Pixel 2 and 4a) didn't last more than 2.5 years each.

I am on phone number 4 and yes, I am having the same problems! Overheating, connectivity issues, volume issues and phone freezing.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Tried the Z flip, battery way to short, next iphone 13, phone reception was horrible. So I ordered a Pixel 6. I'll admit the top tier phones are a bit more user friendly but not by all that much. Battery is great compared to to two I mentioned. Where I got O to 1 bar on the iphone I now get 2 to 4. Don't need to buy a app for charging limits now. Phone is a good size but not overly large. If set it automatically adjust from 60/90. It has a flat screen which I like. Has a option to boost sound when wearing headphones.So far this phone hasn't had any lag(the iphone did).The Pixel is a bit thicker but to me not a great deal to me. All in all I like this phone better than the Samsung or iPhone and it cost less. I've watch a movie and played some games on it, no issues so far. Of the three phones and what I know now I would only but the Pixel 6. What a improvement from the Google phone I had 2 1/2 years ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

I wasn't disappointed by the Pixel 4a 5g, nore am I disappointed by the Pixel 6. The only thing I wish is that it had a extra SD card slot for storage. Not a fan of paying for Extra storage thru Google 1. With Verizon's upgrade to latest phone option I look forward to getting the Pixel 7 in the near future. The Pixel 6 takes great photos and has features that iPhone can only copy, Android stays in it's own lane of innovation. While Apple merely mirrors with a dull reflection of incomparable capabilities. Android authenticated and often duplicated. Pixel 6 takes the cake in my opinion.

Do not buy this phone unless you like horrible battery life that barely gets you through the day and lots of glitches and bugs all the time when trying to use it. Wish I could return it.
