Anonymous, 04 Nov 20213 years of updates has never been exclusive to Google phone... moreMore and more OEMs i.e Samsung, Oneplus, Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi are promising to provide at least 3 years of OS update, so it's not really a unique selling point anymore for the Pixel.

The battery life is disappointing considering the Pixel 6 Pro has big 5000 mah battery and LTPO display. The comparable S21 Ultra has a bigger display size but still soundly beat the Pixel in all battery parameters. Is it because the Tensor a power hog or Google stock battery saving software isn't as good as others?

worse than I thought before the review.. dark screen only 800 nits, bad battery life, performance below other flagships, and more. This phone is only for camera and software lovers.

I would complain very hard because of all the hype and expectations, and pixel 6 pro didn't quite deliver. But again, the price damnnn.

"We have to admit that portraits don't look as good as they did on the Pixel 4 XL with its 2X telephoto camera"
Google is so lazy. Unbelievable. Other manufacturers are able to use a crop of the ultra wide angle camera sensor for depth data. But originally, Google didn't have a dual camera, so they tried to calculate depth via dual pixels. Apparently, they are too lazy to adapt their algorithm. So you can't even choose the periscope camera for portraits because the tele camera sensor doesn't have a dual pixel sensor. Unbelievable. You still even can't use portrait mode at 1x. "1x" is actually 1.52x. This means that "1x" portrait mode images have an effective resolution of 5.4 megapixels, whereas "2x" portraits have an effective resolution of 1.35 megapixels. I don't see any improvement over the Pixel 3's portrait mode, which is very bad.
"Thankfully you can adjust blur natively in the Google Photos app."
Probably not really. I have a Pixel 3a and the blur algorithm of Google Photos is different than the algorithm of the camera app. Bokeh balls will look worse, if you adjust the intensity afterwards. So, probably, you can't adjust the intensity at all, unless you want even less realistic bokeh balls. I also have access to an iPhone 13 Mini and the iPhone doesn't have this issue.

The camera test photos are taken on different place with other phones, so that we don't know how the pixel 6 pro compare to other phones such as mi11ultra, mate40pro and iphone13 pro max.

Don't get the Pixel 6 Pro, get the Pixel 6 as it is a way better deal, If you have say an S20 Fe or iPhone 12, then wait for the Pixel 7 Pro as it will be a better upgrade. But if you have an S10, Pixel 4, iPhone 11 or Xiaomi Mi 9 then Pixel 6 will be a welcome upgrade.

know that the phone will be prone to getting very warm. We played a 20-minute session of Genshin Impact without a case in an air-conditioned room and the CPU temperatures reached upwards of 150 F/65 C. Battery temperature was around 110 F/43 C.
65°C WOWWWW, Hotter than the Mi 11

Even Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, Exynos 2100, Midrange exynos have the same battery problem, not to mention Tensor. Meanwhile, Mediatek and Kirin chips are free of the overheating and battery drain issues because of TSMC manufacturing

We lament to tell you that the Pixel 6 Pro did not reach our expectations in the battery department. Google Tensor is a first-generation chip that debuts with the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, and the numbers corroborate that battery life is not this device's strong suit. This is despite the LTPO display and mentions of Tensor being able to perform certain tasks with half the power.
We think this draw may be due to some inefficiency in the modem used in the Google Tensor chip, which is believed to be a Samsung-made one. Perhaps this could be tweaked via future firmware updates from Google.

The ultrawide camera should be 0.5x next time on the next pixel. It is barely an ultrawide, yet it has no autofocus, and the quality is low because of 12 MP, unlike the 40 MP Huaweis

Jiggar, 04 Nov 2021Moto G photos are good! The Edge series are great in factProblem with moto by lenovo is the fact phones are now using many chinese cheap parts.
Edge+ ( sold in Europe for 1200 euros) has screen from Tiamna. Not even Boe or Visionox. Many sensors from Omnivision.
Motorola has become low end brand, like realme and hmd global
