Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who told me it was wear and tear initially. I made it quite clear i wasnt accepting that and there wasnt even any way that internal adhesive failing would be wear and tear, never mind battery expansion. They agreed to replace it with a refurb as a goodwill gesture, how very nice of them. I upgraded the same day to a S23 Ultra and have sold the refurb to a reseller.
Wife and I have one. Hers 6, mine 7.
They are great. No problems at all.
They charge great, last, and support all the new stuff and get all the latest updates.
They don't come with a pile of bloat ware, camera's work great.
Not sure what people are bitching about.
I have a 6 Pro.
The brightness adjustment sucks, basically 50% of the slider does nothing. Also randomly dims at top brightness and won't let me go back to max brightness manually.
Fingerprint sensor is complete and total shit. I maybe get 10% success rate unlocking phone, while app fingerprint unlock is at 80% success.
Google disabled the HDMI out for no reason other than they want you to use Chromecast.
Battery is good and wireless charging is good with a branded Google wireless charger, pathetic with any aftermarket wireless charger.
Not major issues but the brightness and fingerprint issues are an annoyance several times a day and it just builds up, you know?
I get all the updates and the Google specific features are great. Camera is fine. Works well with Mint Mobile. I get good 5G in my area where I didn't get good reception on my last phone with same service.
I would probably go back to OnePlus or try NothingPhone, wouldn't do a Pixel again.
Ouch. I'm not surprised though. The 6 sounded like a total mess when I was researching for a phone replacement recently. Why they got rid of the back fingerprint sensor or didn't go with the better type of sensor is beyond me.
I'm going back to a one plus phone probably after 3 pixel shit shows.
My favorite thing about the P6P? The phone can't even be used in direct sunlight. Oh and then there's the cellular signal and switching issues, also garbage battery life and auto brightness adjust.
The fingerprint reader, the shitty front facing camera ... fuck this phone. It will be gone by the end of the year.
I had a bad experience with my first one and never went back, plus it's Google. I'm just exercising recreational outrage and stirring the pot cause i saw the sub lol
Godspeed, my friend!
