    Let's see your Pixel 6 and 6 Pro photos!

    Well unfortunately that land isn't mine, but that's what my yard backs up to and it gives me some pretty great views.

    Tonight's sunset from my backyard.

    T-Mo Pixel deals

    For what it's worth, I'm on Verizon and my other 4 family members are using iPhones on T-Mobile and we do have HD voice available when we call each other. It sounds great.

    Answering a call on watch

    Yes, it's possible. I have the Bluetooth version paired with a Pixel 6 Pro and can answer calls on my watch. Maybe make sure the Galaxy Wearable app has phone permissions?

    Pixel 6 & 6 Pro screen protectors

    Are people still liking the Mowei tempered glass on the 6 Pro? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on that one because I'm noticing tons of micro scratches on my phone's screen. Way more than any other phone I've had previously.

    Any regrets getting this phone?

    Pixel 6 Pro coming from a 4 XL. No regrets whatsoever.

    Those of you who have the 6 Pro, impressions of the curved screen?

    This is my first phone with a curved screen and it doesn't bother me at all. I notice some reflections in certain lighting conditions but that's no big deal to me. As others have noted, the curve does help with initiating the swipe back gesture from the edge. I haven't noticed any accidental...

    Media Player

    Maybe try clearing storage of the Podcasts app? Or just uninstall it if you don't plan to ever use it. It can always be reinstalled later if you decide you want to give it a go.

    Google Photos 5.67 removes Magic Eraser

    I also lost it, but received an update to Google Photos an hour or so ago that brought it back.

    In screen Fingerprint scanner results

    This has pretty much been my experience, too. I'm happy with it.

    Pixel 4 XL Owner looking for feedback...

    I'm also coming from the 4 XL and have had my 6 Pro one week today. To me, it's a worthy upgrade. I've never used the regular 6 so I can't speak to that. I was never a big fan of the face unlock. It was pretty quick and mostly reliable, but I'd say I have about the same success rate with the 6P...

    Which do you prefer for your photos a 16:9 wide crop or a 4:3 image?

    Exactly. Just compare the two images posted above. The 16:9 image simply has a portion of the top and bottom of the image chopped off. The sides of the image are essentially identical, so you get less information in the 16:9 image. I agree with the others, shoot in 4:3 and crop later if you...

    How's the 4XL holding up?

    As someone considering the move from a 4 XL to the S21 Ultra, thank you for posting this. Really good info. I tried the Pixel 5 twice and sent it back both times. In my opinion, the 4 XL is just an overall superior device. Yes, the 5 wins a couple points, but for my usage, the 4 XL wins hands...

    Using your Pixel 4 & 4 XL with no case (naked)?

    I use the case with an inexpensive Spigen magnetic mount from Amazon and it works great with that, too.
