I have one drawer similar to the pic above, full of chargers and cables. That's why for me personally I'm not too concerned about this new trend of no chargers in the box. I have four Pixel chargers and two Pixel Stands now, so no issues charging my new Pixel 6 when I get it. I'm not happy about this new trend, but it is what it is. Apple starts something "radical" and everyone else jumps on board. Or Google starts some new "great idea" and Apple jumps on board. I do think it will be frustrating for some folks, like people that have an iPhone now and want a Pixel 6; since they will need to buy a charger separately.

Yeah it’s really irritating that everyone follows Apple’s lead. All the more reason again to appreciate and support brands like Sony. Still include chargers in the box. Still has headphone jack. Still has expandable storage.

I don't care if the 6 comes with a charger or not - I've got a box full.
I'd much prefer a Covid 19 shot -
I got my booster Wednesday. I feel yucky.

When I received my first Moderna vaccine I felt a bit fluish two days later. The day after I felt just fine. No reaction from the 2nd.
I'll be the first in line for the booster when the time comes.
Getting back to the 6 Pro... hopefully Google and beta testers are putting this phone through hard use paces. I'm interested and would not like to have major glitches and issues, hardware or software, upon release.
New chip, new cameras, 5g Samsung modem somewhat new (I believe only used with their exnos chip), new design case....NOPE, nothing could go wrong.

Anything short of the Note 7 fiasco can’t be too bad.

You bring up a valid point...Anything short of the Note 7 fiasco can’t be too bad.

Let's hope for the best. Holding my... breath.

Google Pixel 6/Pro
For the first time in a long time I’m right there with you. I think the last time I got a phone as soon as it was available was the LG V60 and I ended up taking it back even though it was a really nice phone. The camera experience coming from even the OnePlus 7 Pro didn’t meet my expectations.
I'm ordering one as soon as they are available. I'll take my chances, diving in head first.

I always say I won't - but - I always do -

Camera sensor has already proven itself to be extremely capable, even without Google's processing. And it's actually the 'older' model now, as there's a newer generation (though I'm suspecting Google wouldn't have gone with the newer even if they could due to the amount of time I'm sure it takes for them to optimize their post-processing for the sensor).
I'm not concerned about the 5g either. It's been used on other devices outside the USA without issue. And if it has an issue with mm-wave... well, it'll be years before that will impact me.
Chip.... there's a wide range of possibility there. It could beat the best expectations out there, or fail the worst. I'm hoping for somewhere inbetween, leaning towards the former. It's not a totally new thing - still ARM based, and really most likely just a modified and enhanced Exynos. But yes, every new chip can have issues, even new models of what everyone considers the pinnacle of those for Android devices - the SD888 was plagued with thermal throttling issues.
Not sure how the case itself would present any issues from a performance perspective.
There's a whole lot that could go wrong, and surely some things that will, but I'm betting against anything catastrophic, and that the upsides will heavily outweigh the downsides (which Google has a decent track record of overcoming, or at least lessening)). I'll be buying on day one, just a matter of pricing dictating which it'll be.

I am as well as I've done with every Pixel XL, well not the 5 but I do dig that one as well. Yes, I did go from a 4XL to a 5.
