            Nick Tegrataker, 25 Oct 2021What also needs to be taken into consideration, aside from ... morePal, if you are youtuber and you start to point all Cons any product has, the maker will think twice before sending you the product.

            Juan B is not afraid of pointing the CONS, this is why he does not get review units from few brands.

            One important tech site pointed pixel 5 as one of best phones of 2020. That is ridiculous when it is worse than pixel 4 and many other 2019 flagships.

                - S10 successor would not be called s11
                - XZ3 successor was not xz4
                - Heat of 888 and upcoming 898
                - That tensor being exynos
                - That Huawei was not going to be only one banned ( Honor is at risk)
                - The issues of foldable with cold

                And other stuff ...

                Even posted photo from 6 pro showing its antutu score lower than 590.000

                I do not know where this person gets info from. But all were right.

                  Mixed feelings about the in-screen fingerprint scanner. Like why is that necessary? It can't be cheaper or easier to manufacture and when I pick up my phone I don't want to start using it with my giant thumb in the way. This seems regressive in every way, just like face unlock was in the middle of a pandemic

                    Anonymous, 25 Oct 2021Gsmarena, it seems that the Pixel 6 Pro often chooses 4.3x ... moreWhat also needs to be taken into consideration, aside from the lighting condition, is the distance between the lens and the object. If they are too close to each other then obviously the camera won't try to switch to the telephoto lens because it can't lock focus onto it.

                      Anonymous, 25 Oct 2021Do not bother watching. They are gonna hide the bad stuff... moreDo you know who's even more trustworthy than the so-called "very reliable people" of your source? GSMArena and other websites that will publish proper reviews on this phone.

                      I won't believe its video quality is actually worse than Pixel 5 given the massive increase in the sheer amount of light intake. That sounds completely bogus to me, I'm afraid.

                        I was watching a youtube live now, the guy has been testing the 6 and 6 Pro. He says the photography is the best in any smartphone now. Astrophotography and night photo are very good. Video is good but doesn't beat the iPhone. Performance is on par with the best of the best. Battery is pretty good. Screen pretty good with awesome brightness.
                        All going good for the pixel's, seems Google has a winner. If only they can make it available in sufficient volume...

                          Razr 5G Fan, 25 Oct 2021Pixel 6 Pro 163.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm (6.45 x 2.99 x 0.35 in) ... moreMaybe their screens don't mind to be exposed because their screen can take much more than a fingernail than can scratch the surface of the "glasstic" screen of foldables , and maybe they are bigger and heavier because they have a bigger battery that can last much longer and a total screen surface that's bigger than a similar diagonal but narrower screen that clamshell foldable phone uses... Just saying

                            I'm not expert but I believe there must be a valid reason if google decide this behaviour.

                                  Gsmarena, it seems that the Pixel 6 Pro often chooses 4.3x digital zoom instead of the 4.3x periscope camera, even in decent light conditions. This would be terrible. 4.3x digital zoom has an effective resolution of 12.5 megapixels /4.3² = 0.68 megapixels.

                                    Same way they did not want to mention the downgrades samsung performed on S21/21+ compared to 20 series.

                                    According to very reliable people, 6 pro is not best at anything.
                                    CPU would be weaker than 865, videocquality not better than pixel 5, daylight photos on pair with other and worse at night.

                                    By obviously many on youtube shall try to fool you. Same way some praised a lot the cine mode of iphone, when photography website has shown it is very badly done.

                                    Wait until phone is shipped and talk to owners.
                                    Much better.
