Anyone order Pixel6?

[david61983]

Just stop at Best buy to see the pixel 6 and it's look really nice in hand.. I like the square design and the bazel is not that big in real life ..(just little bit bigger than the pro) after seeing the pixel 6 it's make me more exciting to get mine next week.View attachment 338062

Looks almost identical to my S20 FE. I like stock Android but Will definitely wait for reviews before ordering. Almost seems like it would be a lateral move for me other than slightly better cameras.

So in all of the confusion on pre-order/Event day I failed to notice that the free Pixel Buds was missing when I ordered the Pixel 6 Pro Fi version from Google Store.
So this morning I went to Store support chat. I was 16 in line. When I finally got connected I received a $10 credit because of the wait. Anyway the end result is that when the phone ships I'll receive an email with instructions on getting the free buds. Not bad.
I did get a $26 credit for ordering the phone. So that's $36 total credit. Maybe I'll use it for a charger or case.
C'mon the 28th!

I ordered both, the Pixel 6 will be for my daughter who doesn't want a big phone. I am used to phones like the Nexus 6 and Pixel 2 XL but do really like my Pixel 5 size and the way it fits in my pocket...So I am not even sure I will keep it. 90% I will but will keep an open mind. I might give it to my brother for a Xmas present if I really dislike it's size. I am not sure why I ordered it...Really like my P5...

I will use the telephoto on the bigger phone as there is always some interesting wildlife in my backyard or out on the golf course and as an old man I may be able to read better on the bigger screen. Tho I already have things sized on my P5 for that.

Typical American consumer getting things I do not need. I do love my tech tho...I still build a new PC every year just because it's fun...and getting a new phone is pretty much the same.

I never thought a foldable would be for me but if Google makes a foldable as good as the Galaxy Z Flip I'll get one. The Moto Razr was one my favorites and it is what I was using until the first iphone came out. Looking back it has been over 30 years since I got my first cell phone. I do not count the bag phones from the late 80's as the were not portable.

Just got back from Best Buy. Here's my P6P/Pro comparison photo. The Pixel 6 is on the right and the Pro on the left. Holding both there really wasn't that big of a difference. The Pro is the Stormy Black...which is actually a grey. I think the 6 was too but I was paying more attention to the Pro Stormy Black since that's what I ordered.
My concern was will the Pro fit in the same car holder as our Pixel 4a or will I have to get a different one. My wife has the Pixel 4a and I really don't want to have two phone holders on my dash. Without a case I think the Pro will fit.. barely. Hope so.

That is why I use a magnetic mount...Size of phone doesn't matter.

I'm just not interested in any of the additional features of the prep. And the standard model has much better colour options.

Normally I would have got the six for all the reasons listed in this thread.

Those reasons are also why I got the pro. Sometimes you need to go out side your comfort zone and try different things.

My last 2 phones have been the base models, this time I wanted more with the device.

It's kind of funny to me that the front of the pixel 6 resembles the S20 FE(with the borders) and the pro resembles the note 20 ultra. I love the fit of my ultra so if the pro has the same boxy feel of the note 20 ultra then I'll be pleased.

I went with the P6 Pro because what the heck. I do use zoom more than I thought with my Pixel 4a so I really want to see what the zoom on the Pro will do. I like the bigger battery.
I choose the Stormy Black with the black matte stainless sides being a plus.
I know it's expensive but for reasons I won't go into this might be the only time I'll be able to go full hog on a phone and not take a hit on the wallet.

That's why I'll be picking up a 6 Pro in Sorta Sunny, because I pretty much always watch my purchases, and make sure I never spend more money than I need to.... I'm basically a penny pincher. Sales, sales, sales, always on 2 year old flagships. Well not this time!! Daddy needs a new pixel flagship, and he's going to get it!!

I just ordered the P6. I'm more of a "Samsung knight" but I always like have a secondary phone. The P6 is cheaper than the pro, especially with a trade in. P6 will only cost me $406, too good a price to pass up. That said, the S22 Ultra is likely my next phone. So I don't mind if the p6 is not as premium as the pro.

If they would have offered Pro specs in the 6 size, I would have bought it! I carried around a nexus 6 for 18 months and it was to big!

I went with the Pixel 6 for a couple of reasons
its a secondary phone
after my trade $500 in its only costing me $299.00 plus tax to upgrade
and it also comes with $139 ear buds (Will find a home for them)

Overall Im happy with my choice and the $300 price difference has been put aside for next years upgrade

The VERGE is reporting leaks about a possible Pixel 6a. A photo showed a phone very similar to P6, it reportedly will be smaller than the P6, have a 6.2" flat screen, no headphone jack, possibly powered by Tensor chip. To be released about same time as other " a" pixels... August.

Same here. Google offered $275 for a 4a 5g. So just $324 not including tax. Could't pass up that price for the P6.

I originally bought the 6 for price point, loved the green color, black rails, flat display and just wanted a smaller phone (also own iPhone 13 pro max). I've been waiting since the 4XL for Google to release a "flagship" again since I was really missing Google's flavor of Android.

Unfortunately, I am returning it, the display was way to bad in my opinion, the colorshift alone was awful. It's so bad I couldn't use the phone without dark mode and when you got to text with white background, it killed my eyes. Tried to use it a few days to hopefully get used to it but just ended up getting migraines.

I know some got lucky but mine, the colorshift occured at even the slightest movement. Looking dead on it was fine but even move it slightly caused issues. I got lucky and went to my local best buy the other day and they had 1 - 6 pro in stock so I bought it, the display is significantly better.

I added a line and got the 6 for 99 bucks. Too good a deal since I was adding the line anyways

I initially bought the pixel 6 from Google on release day the 256gb version. I returned that because T-Mobile was offering an upgrade to get the pixel 6 the 128gb version for free if you trade it in a pixel 3. That was too good of a deal to pass up so I got the pixel 6 and I also still have the s21 Ultra.

Notebookcheck.net is saying that the Pixel 6a will NOT be powered by the Tensor chip, but rather by the Snapdragon 778G. Which, I suppose means 3 years of security updates and not 5 years like the 6 and 6Pro get.
