Pixel 6 Pro - 5G Android Phone - Unlocked Smartphone with Advanced Pixel Camera and Telephoto Lens - 128GB - Cloudy White

Google Pixel 6 Pro is an amazing device. I opted for the unlocked version to use with Spectrum Mobile, and 256GB since I sometimes had more than 128GB on my last phone (photos, videos, downloaded maps for Google Maps and outdoors apps,etc.). First, let's address 5G service: It is hit-or-miss. It ain't the phone's fault, it's just the nature of 5G. It has very short range from towers (that's why 5G towers are popping up in subdivisions, city streets, etc.) and can't penetrate buildings like earlier services. So, don't blame the phone if 5G don't work where you are. 4G and LTE are your reliable friends. Also, even if you do have 5G showing on the phone, don't expect blazing speeds. I've tested speeds with 5G on and off while sitting in restaurants, doctors offices, city traffic (as a passenger) and at home. Sometimes 5G is 200mbps or better, and sometimes it is slower than 4G/LTE. It depends on distance from the tower, signal strength and traffic on the tower. Don't write negative reviews for any phone based on unrealistic 5G wishes. Now, about the Pixel 6 Pro: Here's what I like: 1. The very large screen lets me read without always using reading glasses. 2. Battery life seems to be very good for the amount and types of usage. I try to stay between 20-80% charge for longevity sake. 3. The cameras (3 of them) are very good. I opted for the 3-camera 6 Pro for the cameras, allowing me to capture travel scenes without the added weight and hassle of the Nikon plus it's lenses, charger, etc. We just returned from Aruba, and I didn't miss the Nikon at all. I use the wide angle (0.7x) and telephoto (4x) a lot, and it's pretty good when you use digital zoom at 20x. I use the photosphere feature often when traveling, and it's a great way to share the experiences. And, the night and astrophotography capabilities are way better than expected. Get a mini tripod and try those sometimes (astrophotography shots can take 4 minutes). As a guy that used manual film cameras before digital was possible, I would like more control of the camera functions, but there are apps for that. After your images upload to Google Photos, try the Magic Eraser editing tool you've heard about to get rid of unwanted people or cars from a scene. It ain't totally automatic, but it sure beats the old ways of doing it. I don't shoot many videos, but I might now that I have better capabilities. If concerned about scratching the cameras, apply a tempered glass protector for the camera. It's cheap and easy. And they have a cutout for the flash and microphone. 4. Phone calls are reliable and clear. No problems with dropped calls. 5. Google's Spam Filters prevent most calls from getting through. If an unwanted call (or one you can't answer immediately) rings, flip the phone face-down to shush it. Better yet, turn the ringer off before church service starts. 6. The fingerprint reader works fine for me. Take time to train it for more than one finger, and increase sensitivity before applying a screen protector. 7. There are many useful settings, so take your time and explore them. 8. International use was easy. All I had to do was call Spectrum Mobile to enable international use, then take off. They charge per minute for calls, per text message, and per MB for data (please turn off mobile data roaming). It was super easy and reliable in Aruba, although we did get a welcome to Jamaica message. Now, what I don't like: Nothing. I did my research and knew what to expect. Who would order a phone costing over $1000 (taxes, accessories, etc.) without knowing what they're getting? I could gripe that it's too tall for most shirt pockets, but I specifically wanted a big screen, so it ain't Google's fault. I could gripe about the swiping gestures, but I like them after learning how they work. There are many other smartphones out there, so do your own homework and buy one you like. Would I buy this phone again? Yes. Absolutely. But I was hoping the 7 Pro could be available before I killed my Pixel 3. Oh well, that's neither phone's fault.

Best android experience you'll ever have! Smooth and awesome display! Camera better than any phone one the makket and I have pictures to prove it! For a flagship phone it's expensive in my book but way cheaper than iPhone 13 pro or Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra. So it doesn't have the bells and whistles they have. The spam calling feature alone it worth it ! And security and all so yes this phone is best for the money! And too me still expensive but you'll like it ! UPDATE: 8-21-2022 Loved my my phone but nothing but problems! Bugs or whatever. Wifi calling never worked since day one! Contacted Google and did everything and they said to take it to Asurion ( fix it tech repair) well I did and they said I needed a new motherboard! My phone was in pristine condition and in a case since I took it out of the box! No marks , scratches or anything on it! They put a new motherboard and still same problem. Now I paid $800+ for this phone brand new and Google wants to fix it . Now they want me to send it back . So I took pictures of every part of the phone because I should of automatically got a new one! Now who knows sent the phone to there warehouse and took pictures showing it was working . To be inspected at the warehouse to see if the phone is in pristine condition!!!!! There wasn't such a scratch on it ! Anything. So now I spent $800+ and no phone and they don't want to send me a brand new one! Unreal ! I will never buy a Google product again unless they make the 100% right ! With a brand new phone , that works ! I bought one other Google phone and returned it! It takes the best pictures and software is unbeatable but , if this doesn't get resolved I'm going back to Samsung! I hate iPhones so . Here's the deal I've been with android since day one!!! Seriously! Google needs some kind of quality control and stop worrying about releasing a phone every year to keep up with apple and Samsung! And start treating there customers "RIGHT," ! ITS B.S. ANYMORE AND I'M TIRED OF GETTING TREATED THIS WAY LIKE I DID SOMETHING WRONG ! Update 8-31-22: Recieved my new phone from Google and knock on wood it's working very well !

El móvil cumple con todas mis expectativas. Es bastante grande (cosa que no es un problema para mi), muy buenos acabados y muy bonito. Las cámaras son espectaculares y si se junta al magnífico procesado de las fotos, el resultado es muy bueno. La batería tiene una autonomía que te da de sobra para aguantar el día con un uso intenso. El único punto negativo que veo es que el lector de huellas no es demasiado bueno. Al principio necesitaba 5 intentos para desbloquearlo, poco a poco me he ido haciendo a él y ahora la mayoría de las veces a la primera y como mucho necesito dos intentos. Excepto por este último punto, un móvil de 10. Una pena que haya mucha falta de dispositivos y sea difícil encontrarlos y encima caros.

Love the color. Love google phones!

Received the order as per the schedule.

Es todo lo que esperaba excepto por 2 detalles: Contras La batería se descarga rápido No tiene reconocimiento facial Pros La cámara es excelente La carga de batería adaptable es util Reconoce canciones como shazam La IA de la cámara es muy buena

I got this phone over a year ago now for around £400. The Build Quality is great, the screen is bright and smooth. The battery is outstanding. My only complaint when it comes to getting the phone for the first time is that A. It doesn't come with a power bank so you might have to buy one separately (this isn't just this phone this is all newage flagship phones) and B. Is that there is a little rattle in the camera of a loose lense, after calling tech support they explained the situation and there is nothing to worry about but to first time buyers this can be distracting or worrying
