    It usually either is good out of the box or it's not.

      5 years of android updates? Please check your facts Gsmarena team. It will receive 3 years of OS updates and additional 2 years of security patches. It's not the same with Apple providing 5-6 years of OS updates!

        Wow pretty disappointed in the battery life test. I think I'll pass on the phone because of it, I was hoping to dump this note 20 ultra but maybe I'll suffer for a couple more months idk 😕

          Some images are so bad with so much noise reduction (for example the 4x photos) (despite perfect light conditions) that I wonder whether Google still uses HDR+ for every photo. Maybe there are issues with the new sensor and processor. The Google Nexus 5x took perfect daylight photos in its HDR+ On mode. It usually combined 8 raw files.
          It's unexplainable how bad some Pixel 6 images are. You wouldn't even expect so much noise reduction, if you don't combine frames at all. I have a Panasonic travel zoom camera with a 28mm² sensor and it doesn't suffer from this issue.

              Really rough review when it comes to camera quality.

              You need to focus on low-light video, particularly indoors and with moving targets. And then rinse and repeat for the ultra wide.

              This is useless for anyone with young children.

                    I think the most amazing feature about this phone is the camera. Like wow, those specs are impressive. I really like the overall sleek design and the functionality of it. I love when tech reviewers are able to give such detailed and well thought out reviews on products.

                      You should compare with all
                      Android mobile phones battery
                      on the same Android 12.
                      Now only Google Pixel serials
                      used Android 12.

                              Camera wise it is easily the best ever Pixel phone, the photos are stunning, I prefer slightly over processed photos instead of warm boring photos on iPhones. The night sight is clearly better than Pixel 5. So if you want a great camera phone only then its one of the best options. But I am also looking for a good battery life, unfortunately the endurance rating is not acceptable for a flagship with 5000 mAh battery. I expected it to be 100 at least. I fully trust Gsmarena battery endurance rating, it reflects real life usage. Redmi Note 10 has an endurance rating of above 120 over here and I am witness to it in real life usage. Its battery life was insane. I don't know what to do now, whether to buy Pixel 6 Pro or wait for Pixel 7?

                                  I hope battery life issues can be fixed with s/w updates. Otherwise I am disappointed. I was planning on updating my S10 with this phone.

                                    Trying to Excell only in the camera and display, otherwise for a third of the price you can get equal if not better phone.

                                      As for the photographic capabilities. Try to print some photos in order not to keep them only in hard disks for ever. There is no meaning to do this. You won't notice any differences between even with 6 years old mobiles. So the only thing that matters in mobile photography is how good the telephoto or even the widecamera is. And there s21 ultra and P40/50 pro are the kings....
