*YouTubers* Pixel 6 Pro has solid sustained performance and a super solid all day battery!
*me* solid battery on a Pixel phone? I don't believe it.
*Gsmarena* Pixel 6 Pro has a "meh" battery and the sustained performance is "meh" too

*me* knew it smelled fishy for a reason.

I still wonder why my 2 year old phone doesn't have all these issues with a SD855 but a much smaller battery (3550), seems I am going to keep that one for even longer.

    WT...? where's the technical data on the speakers? why would you guys skip a spectrograph and DB testing? I've been waiting on you guys specifically!

      Would have loved to read how it compares to Oneplus 9 pro

        Why the best smartphones on the world are so hard to get? Pixel 6 pro, too hard to get at a reasonable price. Vivo x70 pro plus, impossible to get outside China and India. Magic 3 pro plus also impossible to get it outside China for a reasonable price (I am talking about msrp not some kind of offer). P50 pro, well you know why.

        Btw, unpopular opinion but kirin 9000 is the best android(no bionic) soc so far. Super efficient and powerful at the same time. Literally what all of expected SD888 to be.

          This phone is more than benchmarks and camera comparisons. The unique features only obtainable due to the Tensor chip and Google support are the actual story.

            The Pixel 6 camera seems to be worse than previous Google phones. The Pixel 5 camera even seems to have better better shadows than the Pixel 6. And the Pixel 6 uses a too high amount of noise reduction.

              The noise reduction is much more aggressive than previous Google phones like the Nexus 5x. Disappointing.

                Google doesn't seem to use the 48 megapixel mode of the sensor. They should have used a 30 megapixel Bayer sensor for the tele camera.

                  So...

                  - Weakest endurance among all phones with QHD Ltpo screen
                  - Performance weaker than SD865 phones
                  - Full of issues
                  - Subpar camera , even compared to previous pixels but praised by few youtubers and those who " leak" the phones.
                  - Even galaxy s21+ is great deal compared to this phone.

                    "Portrait photos can be shot in either 1X or 2X mode, but bear in mind that the latter is only a crop of the 1X camera."
                    Not just the latter. The "1x" mode is actually a 1.52x crop.

                      I really didn't expect the modest battery life.

                      Great review, thank you very much !!

                        I was right , again .....

                          will you be testing the Pixel 6 (non pro) too? I had high hopes for the battery life so I hope I don't get disappointed a 2nd time.

                            Something's wrong at GSMA? The pictures are too impressive??? , and you are saying the picture is too clear??? Perhaps were you looking out of the windows instead of looking at the camera quality??

                              Very disappointed with battery life, and missing very important SD card, headphone jack. Thanks Google no buy.

                                GSMarena,
                                can you please add video comparison tool for pixel 6 pro. I want to compared video quality to other flagships. Thank you.

                                  Photos are inferior to many other phones.
                                  Many have very underexposed foreground.
                                  Other look like painting.
                                  Even worse than samsung ( which is miles from the best).

                                  Some are worse than what pixel 2 would offer.

                                    65 celsius CPU with AC on?
                                    This is worse than SD810 phones.

                                      SpiritWolf, 03 Nov 2021'Photos are ridiculously clear, maybe too clear someti... moreYeah like when you zoom into the one with the pink flower, that looked super blurry too. IDK what they were looking at.

                                      Either way, that standby draw is terrible. Even worse then Snapdragon 888 phones. Updates could fix this but, like many others have said, it's always better to not be there beta testers with new hardware and to wait for next year.
