Pixel 6 – 5G Android Phone - Unlocked Smartphone with Wide and Ultrawide Lens - 256GB - Stormy Black

I have a Pixel 6a phone, and I've been in love with it, especially after a lot of the updates this year. My wife was looking for an upgraded phone herself so I had been perusing around the Pixel options. She wanted something a little bit larger than my phone, so I had been looking at the Pixel 6. If you love the 6a, the 6 should treat you pretty well also, it's a very similar phone, just a bit larger, and does actually have some improvements in smoothness during use, as well as a really nice upgraded camera. All in all, we've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's great. Fast processing, I love a lot of the general Pixel features that you don't see on normal phones, e-sim capabilities, and transferring the old phone info and settings was like 80% effective just on plugging the old one into the new and hitting transfer. The photos are fantastic and the whole system is just fast. There are additional benefits like adaptive charging to keep your battery life stable, and a lot of the editing/filtering capabilities through Google Photos that you don't get with other phones. This is also her first upgrade to a non-budget smartphone and we both feel this is a fantastic choice and high performance phone, especially for the price. Highly recommended!

Despite the initial negative buzz surrounding the Google Pixel 6, I took the leap and purchased this smartphone, and I'm thrilled with my decision. The Pixel 6 is an incredible device that offers remarkable value for the price. Due to the device's rocky launch, its price has been lowered, making it even more attractive. Let me assure you that this phone performs flawlessly. I've been using it for several months now, and it has never let me down. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting me a couple of days depending on my use. The overall speed and performance are exceptional, and the software is top-notch. The camera is a standout feature, capturing stunning photos and videos. Additionally, the ample storage of the 256GB version is more than sufficient for my needs. While some people have complained about the fingerprint reader, I find it to be a minor inconvenience. It may take a fraction of a second longer than flagship phones, but it quickly becomes second nature. As a power user who enjoys customization, I appreciate the versatility of the Pixel 6. It handles demanding tasks and even some gaming with ease. For the price, I couldn't find a better smartphone on the market. It's truly a hidden gem.

I've come to the Pixel 6 from an LG G6, which I really liked. I was happy with the camera, but its OS was dated and the battery was near its end, so it was time to switch. My wife just bought a new Samsung phone, and she wasn't thrilled with it. I'm just a little concerned about the potential for Chinese spyware, and other bad actors on the web, so I'm happy to have the Pixel's extended security and OS upgrades. There's a lot more phone than my G6 (heavier) and a lot more OS too. So I'm still learning how to use it. What I like is that the OS seems to be coaching me with helpful hints about how to use it. I use a lot of Google apps, but where good alternatives are available I'll try them e.g. Brave browser. Android is pretty graceful about allowing my choices. (My wife thinks that her Samsung phone is too aggressive in pushing Samsung apps.). I use my phone mostly for texting, and reading email. So the camera, as on all the newer phones, seems a little over the top. One of the features that's becoming important is the safety app, so that my wife can know where I am, and my kids can find me in case I get stranded or injured. I'm not sure that I've gotten that properly set up yet, but it's a very welcome feature. As other people have noted, the fingerprint reader sucks, even after the mid-December upgrade. I've noticed that it is more likely to work when I use an index finger then when I use my thumb. The features on my nice-to-have list were voice-to-text and translate VTT is pretty good, since it gives me the opportunity to delete a garbled text. My dictation is often garbled, so the do-over feature is useful. I haven't gotten very far with translation. I was hoping to have an Italian language sitcom translated to English in real time. Translate features seem to be scattered around the app. So, if it can do it, I haven't figured out how to work it, yet! On the whole, a pretty favorable first impression. I look forward to a long relationship with my Pixel 6

Battery is great, camera is amazing, but missing a few key features such as changing image and video quality, there is different modes to use the different qualities though. When I read the camera had 1080 240 fps I was intrigued, then I try to use it but it's only available for slo motion mode (which is very cool actually). In my pictures that I added one is of the sky I took today on my way back from work (through a window) and the other two are using Night Mode (one before and one after turning it on). The purple beam you can see is the result of me taking the photo through a window, it isn't normally visible so don't worry. But as you can see the Night Mode is INSANE. I could barely see anything outside (it was 10pm!), taking a Night Mode picture takes about 2 seconds and you have to keep the phone still but it's absolutely bonkers. I showed my parents and they were shocked! It doesn't use a flash either, I believe it uses that purple laser which is usually invisible except when a window is right in front of the camera. This feature is great for night photos and particularly useful for taking pictures of wild animals at night without spooking them with a flash, or disturbing anyone nearby. It's better than using a flash, and it's not noticable at all. The camera alone makes this phone worth it, all other features are a bonus. Edit: I've had this phone for over a year now and it's still great, still getting camera updates too. I have plenty of storage left and everything runs very smoothly. I have no reason to get a new phone any time soon, so if I do it'll be when the 8 comes out I guess.

I upgraded from the pixel 4a reluctantly. The only reason I upgraded was the charging port on my 4a was worn, and I picked this model specifically for the wireless charging capabilities. That being said, I do have a few personal preferences that I did like about the 4a vs the 6 Pros: -battery life improves over time as it learns your schedule -wireless charging makes worn charger ports a thing of the past -seamless transfer of old phone with no learning curve -one of the best values on the market for the phone -google corrected the issue with the 4a's hotspot on straight talks network -water resistant (I have no issues taking this phone into the shower with me if I feel like it) -the pixel navigation is similar enough to ios to make it easy for new android users to feel at home while not being different enough to turn off typical android users cons: -Phone is a little large (debatable, but noticeable from the 4a) -fingerprint reader is a little slow (4a did it better) -gets warm (or at least it used to a few updates ago, haven't noticed this recently) (Update 4/18/24) I've had this phone going on 2 years, and it still feels like a new phone. Battery life is just as good as when I got it, and I feel like most of the issues I had were ironed out over time with updates. I don't feel pressured to upgrade phones, as this one is still running great

-----Updated 2/20/2022 ---- I really hate this phone. Ironically this has been the worst android experience I've had. Every month when Google submits its monthly update, some new bug or issue is introduced. Seems like Google isn't really trying anymore. For example, last month, my bluetooth stopped working with my car's head unit. Had to wait a month to get that fixed with the new update. Then, the after installing the latest update, the recorder app decided to stop transcribing any audio. Things break, then get fixed down the road while other stuff breaks. It's a caos! The fingerprint sensor after 1 year using it, works around 50% of the time. There is an issue with the screen pocket screen sensor, which keeps my display off after removing it from my pocket. When casting YouTube from the phone and the screen turns off, my phone gets disconnected from the Chromecast, loosing whatever I was watching. This requires me to restart, for it to work properly. It has so many issues with connecting to any wi-fi or hotspot, I now basically just use celular network, so I don't waste any more time troubleshooting it. After this, I am finally considering buying an iPhone, which Google has cornered me into doing. I will never buy a google product ever again, stay away from Pixel Phones! ---- Original Post ---- I replaced my Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus with this phone, since I heard praises for the stock Android experience. I have to say I am bit annoyed with this phone's software and hardware bugs. First the OS is plagued of bugs. I've had constant WIFI disconnects, some features stopped working after an update like my google pay. It seems, like they fix something and something else breaks, which it's kind of odd, since the software and hardware is made by the same company! I don't use the camera that much, so this is not a huge issue for me, but the auto focusing is horrendous. When I occasionally use the camera, most of y pictures are out focus, especially when taking pictures from close objects. The fingerprint... ohh don't get me started! This is what I hate the most about the phone, the barely functioning fingerprint reader. I find myself 9 out of 10 inputting my password. I've tried registering my same thumb 7 times, adjusting the touch sensitivity and nothing seems to work. I have to admit I miss the Samsung sensor. The charging is way slow. I find myself waiting for the phone battery to reach 100% from 20% around 2 hours (consider I also bought the OEM charger, which should come included with the phone). I am currently waiting on the March update to see what will be fix and what new issues will come out, but for some reason, the update is being releases for previous models first than their current flagship. In conclusion, I would not recommend this phone. I would go for something else, even though it might be more expensive, like a new Samsung flagship.

I have waited for months to make this review. I don't always give reviews but just have to do this because I read other people's reviews before buying this phone. So, it would be wise for me to write mine so it would help others make good decision too. I will start with the problems others pointed out. The first is Finger Print. While Installing the phone, the phone would need samples of different parts of your finger so that any part of that particular finger would be able to open your phone. I think a lot of people that complained about the difficulty in finger printing did not fully understand this. They also complained about the phone being hot after prolonged use. This is absolutely true. The phone gets hot sometimes and usually gives you a warning that the phone's temperature is high and may not function optimally as expected. As far as I know this to me is the major problem of the phone. Now to the good part. The Phone's Camera quality is top notch. Simply amazing. I thought I was ugly but changed my opinion since I started taking pictures with this phone. The battery life is quite okay. for heavy users, the phone lasts for days when fully charged. If you are confused of the phone to use. You should try this, I bet you won't regret it.

Good price for the speed of the hardware and the camera quality is high, but over time the USB C charging port inevitably starts bending in its housing and it becomes harder and harder to get to get the phone to take a charge because the cable doesn't QUITE want to plug in anymore. This happens because the phone is slim at the bottom and the end of the USB cable presses against the counter/table/whatever, levering it against the port with a little pressure. After two or three years the port gets bent upward a little and it's a pain in the ass to get the cable to plug into the port *just right* so that the charge connection happens, in other words it becomes progressively harder to make sure you can continue using the phone. Plus the camera is mounted into this obnoxious ledge thing at the top of the phone that presses into your leg and it has this weird issue where it doesn't ever configure with text messages properly, even if you manually configure the wireless access point, so you sometimes don't get texts people send you for hours or even a couple days. I've owned the Pixel 3A before and it had the exact same problem with texts and with the charge port. Skip this phone and buy something from Motorola instead.

Llevo casi un mes con el dispositivo, Llegó en perfecto estado pero con una SIMCard de Verizon, aunque está DESBLOQUEADO para cualquier compañía en México. El celular funciona a la perfección, es rápido y tiene una cámara espectacular es con lo que estoy más satisfecho, también la pantalla aunque a mí gusto falta brillo máximo es correcta y los vídeos se ven muy bien en máxima calidad. La batería dura más de un día y las veces que he dado un uso más rudo siempre me llega al día. El software es una maravilla hace que todo sea fluido y tener a Android nativo, para mí, es una de las mejores experiencias. Puntos negativos: Pantalla, falta algo de brillo Fluidez en juegos, no es un dispositivo diseñado para el gaming Garantía en México, al no tener distribución oficial en México, la garantía es complicada aquí. Sonido, aunque es muy claro y nítido a veces es muy bajo. EDIT: Llevo más de 7 meses con el dispositivo y me sigue pareciendo una maravilla, la pantalla está perfecta, muy buena calidad de color y siempre diré que los pixel son de las mejores (si no la mejor) en la sección Android aunque no tenga mucha compatibilidad con redes sociales sigue teniendo una cámara espectacular, muy buena calidad y excelente precio, lo recomiendo ampliamente para este año y seguramente seguirá siendo una buena opción en 2024

Google Pixel6は、現在は7が出て型落ちとなっているところもありますが、7aと6が価格が一緒くらいだったのでこちらを選びました。 電池持ちも最高です（前のはもうヘタってたましたが…） ただし、PixelではGoogle fitで歩数計が使えないバグが発生している模様です。

Had this for about two months now and is a great phone. Had a oneplus 6T before this and found this to be an easy transition. My own mistake was to install a screen protector which made the fingerprint sensor near impossible to use. Phone has great signal when I popped in my T mobile sim for a recent road trip to USA . Minimal signal loss and 5g for most of the trip.

The Google Pixel 6 is a flagship phone that offers a lot of value for its price. It has a unique and attractive design, a powerful and custom-made processor, and an impressive camera system. It also runs on the latest Android 13 OS, which is fast, smooth, and secure. The phone has a 6.4-inch OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 1080 x 2340 resolution. The screen is bright, sharp, and colorful, and it adapts to the ambient light and the content. The screen also has a hole-punch cutout for the 8MP selfie camera, which can take wide-angle shots and supports face unlock. The phone's back is made of glass and has a matte finish that resists fingerprints. The most distinctive feature of the phone is the camera bar, which houses the 50MP main camera and the 12MP ultra-wide camera. The camera bar also has a metal accent that contrasts with the color of the phone. The phone comes in three colors: Stormy Black, Sorta Seafoam, and Kinda Coral[^1^][1]. The phone's performance is powered by the Google Tensor processor, which is the first chip designed by Google for Pixel phones. The processor is optimized for AI and machine learning tasks, such as image processing, language translation, and voice recognition. The processor also works with the Titan M2 security chip, which protects the phone from malware and hackers. The phone has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which are enough for most users. The phone's camera is one of the best in the market, thanks to the Google Tensor processor and the software features. The main camera has a large sensor that captures more light and detail, especially in low-light situations. The ultra-wide camera has a 114-degree field of view, which is great for landscapes and group shots. The phone also has a 4x optical zoom and a 7x digital zoom, which are decent but not outstanding. The phone's camera has many modes and features that enhance the photos and videos, such as Night Sight, Portrait Mode, Magic Eraser, Motion Mode, and Cinematic Pan. The phone can also record 4K videos at 60fps, and 1080p videos at 240fps. The phone's camera can also recognize and translate text, identify objects, and suggest actions, thanks to the Google Lens feature. The phone's battery is 4614mAh, which can last for a full day of moderate use. The phone supports fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. The phone can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes with the 30W adapter, which is sold separately. The phone can also charge other devices, such as earbuds or smartwatches, by placing them on the back of the phone. The phone's software is Android 13, which is the latest and most advanced version of the OS. The software is clean, smooth, and intuitive, and it has many features that make the phone smarter and more helpful. For example, the phone has a Live Translate feature, which can translate speech and text in real time, even without an internet connection. The phone also has a Hold for Me feature, which can wait on hold for you when you call a customer service line. The phone also has a Personal Safety feature, which can detect car crashes, falls, or emergencies, and alert your contacts or emergency services. The phone's connectivity is also excellent, as it supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and eSIM. The phone can connect to the fastest and most reliable networks, and it can also share its 5G connection with other devices. The phone also has a dual SIM feature, which allows you to use two different phone numbers or carriers on the same phone. The phone's drawbacks are minor, but they are worth mentioning. The phone does not have a microSD card slot, which means you cannot expand the storage. The phone also does not have a headphone jack, which means you have to use wireless earbuds or an adapter. The phone also does not have a fingerprint scanner, which means you have to use face unlock or a PIN code. The phone also does not have a water resistance rating, which means it may not survive a splash or a dunk. I think the Google Pixel 6 is a fantastic phone that offers a lot of value for its price. It has a unique and attractive design, a powerful and custom-made processor, and an impressive camera system. It also runs on the latest Android 13 OS, which is fast, smooth, and secure. It has some minor drawbacks, but they are not deal-breakers. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars rating.

Condición: Nuevo Vendedor: no me acuerdo La verdad que fue una excelente compra este Pixel 6, tenía mis dudas si en verdad era un celular nuevo pero me sorprendió cuando recibí el producto. Venía en su caja original de Google, sellado, con mica protectora de la pantalla y los accesorios originales. Ya llevo 3 meses de uso continuo con el celular y no me ha presentado ningún problema y todo va muy fluido; la cámara funciona bastante bien aunque en lugares más obscuros o sin tanta luz puede parecer que se ve "borroso", pero es porque el sensor es de pocos Píxeles. El software es el que hace toda la "magia" de la edición y lo hace perfecto. La batería también me ha durado bastante; un uso normal si llega a durar todo el día. No lo recomiendo para Juegos. En resumen es una compra 10/10. A este precio, no vas a encontrar algo mejor y nuevo.
