    Also a few things. How can they be the same size? The Lg g8 was a compact 6.1, Pixel 6 is decently longer and wider. Pixel might not have a notch but, surely the bezels are bigger? And it's gotta be heavy for its size, right? 207 grams, remember Also how good is the performance and app multitasking?

Sorry, but FP is good for Low cost china device, not for £599 "premium" device. And Android12 almost perfect? Lol. At first, A12 is seriously ugly, disgusting. Its matter of opinion, but i don't like this look. And lot of bugs what i meet everyday... Top menu stop and start working for no reason, switching apps too, lags in GUI. This is Google flagship device? For me its low cost china noname device with "premium" price. Only one good thing is camera, but i'm missing option for full res photos.

                Feels like s10plus is far more better and a lot cheaper than this. Really Google?

                    This is worst device what i had for last years. Finger sensor is bad joke. Rather use pin to unlock, because this thing just not working at all. Android 12 is buggy as hell (and ugly too).
                    50MP sensor have pixel binning, so photos are max 12MP and here is no way how to turn binning off when you need.

                        Adel J, 05 Nov 2021It's a shame to compare this beast with the S20 FE.> It's a shame to compare this beast with the S20 FE.

                        But I will. I had Pixel 6 for a couple of days. Returned that piece of a wtf, got S20 FE 5G instead.

                        And I'm much much happier with my Samsung now.

                        First - samsung has way more stable mobile connection when I'm at the very boundary of the network (like my house). Pixel 6 was showing "no service" in about 20% of all the time when I'm at home. S20FE 5G stays ALWAYS connected to at least 3G, with 1-2 bars but enough to make calls / receive texts.

                        As for 5G - max I was able to get out of Pixel 6 in the area of 5-bar of 5G signal was around 160Mbit down. S20FE 5G got me up to 800Mbit in download speed in the same physical location easily. (I'm in Europe)

                        Then the heating and battery consumption issue - P6 was constantly just doing something in the background, brings memories of old Android 2.2 devices that were constantly hot in your pocket - P6 was doing kind of the same. S20 FE 5G is much cooler when it is just resting.

                        Also the under-display optical fingerprint scanner - in S20 FE it is nearly instant, vs quite a noticeable lag in P6.

                        What I dislike about S20FE is the too bright by default display and its enforcement on using bixby for the power button long press (as a workaround I've enabled voice match to wakt google assistant from the lock screen).

                        But overall - Pixel 6 was a great disappointment for me. S20FE isn't something mind-blowing, it is not doing any outstanding new features or anything, but what's promised just works in it.

                          I have been using pixel 4a the past year, mostly upgrading for the camera, fresh design, and better battery. Only had the 6 a couple of days but might end up returning, such a brick of a thing and the fingerprint sensor just doesnt work and no face id... tried using the 4a again and its so much nicer due to its weight and size.

                              I do believe that they have mistaken the battery on the pixel 6 and 6 pro on this site they are saying that they have li-ion batteries. But due to teardowns I've seen they both have li-po batteries. In both devices the li-ion is shown on the battery this is correct but in very tiny writing on the batteries they say that the battery is a lithium polymer. So I'm not sure if theres a big difference but just wanted to shed some odd light on that subject.

And I... moreI remove it from charger at 7 AM and reach 1 AM with like 20% left and I'm moderate to heavy on using it. I really don't know what good battery is to you. This phone is on the same level of all other flagship phones.

                                  I’ve had the Pixel 6 for a few days now and here are my thoughts. Coming from a OnePlus5, I can say all the Pixel 6 “Flagship” talk is hype. Maybe I should have bought the 5A 5G….
                                  The phone is about the same width as the OP5, about a 1/8” taller, and really thick. And I’m not just talking about the obscenely large camera hump. It’s no lightweight either. It is at that weight where you really don’t want to hold it for extended periods of time, whereas I never felt that way with the OP5. It feels like a thick slab when you are carrying it around – certainly not as thin and “sexy” as the OP phones feel.
                                  So I’ll miss the headphone jack – but knew that going in. I’d gladly sacrifice that for the IP rating. Battery life has only been fair, but if it does adjust to use, we’ll see. It did get really hot when doing the phone/phone usb-c cable dump. Interestingly, the EDGES got hottest – so they are using them to conduct the heat out. Nice that they give you a usbc-usbc cable.
                                  The the fingerprint sensor is dire. There is no better word for it. Crappy would be praise. The software is so buggy that it sometimes asks for fingerprints but the digitizer is completely unresponsive. Enrolling the same fingers twice does seem to help, a little. The digitizer also has issues with sensing taps that were no issue on my OP5, causing me to pound repeatedly on it until it registers. Maybe its just slow processor rather than bad digitizer? More Tensor hype? I can only hope a software patch helps in this terrible user experience. I would not buy this phone for this reason alone.
                                  As a OnePlus user, I love the double tap to wake and double tap to sleep. While the phone will wake when you lift it up, I really really miss the double tap to sleep. Google are you listening? How simple would that be to implement?
                                  Sound is really good, and being stereo shows how much I really have missed having a phone in stereo. I think even the bluetooth audio sounds better than my OP5. OP users will also miss tapping the volume popover control to select a different source. Man that was handy. Google????
                                  Charger situation is annoying. So no wall wart, and $25 is the min, from Google, for the faster charger. And apparently it doesn’t even fast charge, according to the reports. To make things even worse for OnePlus people – all those DASH chargers we spent a lot of money on – well they don’t work. No, not that they don’t charge quickly, THEY DON’T WORK. As in 80% when you plug it in and 78% a few minutes later. Yes, it DRAINS the battery. I’ve used these DASH chargers for all kinds of devices and everything has always charged (normal speed of course). What is going on here Google? I have tested an Anker supply with QC3.0 and it works OK (not fast, just works).
                                  The screen – I’m no stickler for details here, seems good enough. I shut off 90hz as I want better battery life and don’t play games anyway. The only annoyance is the “adaptive” brightness level seems always just a bit dim. Would be nice to tweak that higher, but, yeah, it’s a pixel, so no control.
                                  The proximity sensor also seem to be slow to respond (Tensor, really?). Maybe it just software, but it is sluggish compared to other phones. I think the range is also not very far. One more “not flagship” feature.
                                  Everything else works as expected. Camera – no real opinions yet. And I did kill the battery on 2 units – no issues with the fingerprint reader dying as is being reported.

                                    The battery life on this thing isn't that great. And I'm not even gaming that much or watching a lot of videos.

                                      qrck13, 10 Nov 2021You are buying the phone. Not the house. Who cares nowerday... moreRegardless, phones have become something you use on daily basis. So just like what you wear, a cheap looking plastic doesn't look good for me to have. I think such phone are good for teenies who often drop their phones so they made them something with cheap and more reliable (but definitely worse looking) so they can afford it.
                                      Again, glass or even metal, they're both premium material and I'll always prefer having them on something i use daily.
