I have used this phone for over a month now and I'm so angry at the results. I bought the pixel 6 pro after watching many reviews and seeing it had a much better camera than the iPhone 13 pro max(which it does) but all the other features are greatly lacking to my wife's iphone. Tonight was my final straw when it magically switched to "TalkBack" setting and required over an hour to figure out the problem from myself and multiple other android users before I could use my phone again. Keep in mind it randomly switched to this useless glitch mode after being literally in my pocket. This wasn't the first time it had a MAJOR pocket glitch. It has also called emergency services before while in my pocket at work. Despite having an amazing camera google has utterly failed to deliver a practical phone that doesn't literally call the police or turn into a useless electric brick to ruin a Friday night. It's a case of so close to beauty but I must urge you to run away for a Samsung, Sony, Asus etc. The glitches in this phone are beyond unacceptable and are recall worthy month in.

      Nalsenai, 29 Dec 2021This phone have just 84 hours of battery endurance rating..... moreeSIM support allows for switching between eSIMs and SIM card

        This phone have just 84 hours of battery endurance rating... . Google should improve theirs smartphones battery performance first if seeking more popularity. Also just one SIM card. This phone is not for me.

Nothing like Apple who completely designs it's chips from the ground up. 2 X1 cores A76 and A55. A76 is years old. I was curious when I saw the 2 X1 cores because they are power hungry, seems google tamed them for efficiency. Major upgrade from past Pixel phones. Camera is top notch, Google really knows how to use software for consistently good photos. The screen is very good but not samsung flagship good. The finger print sensor is horrid. I've read up on AI learning being in a league of it's own on the new pixel. Google did step up but tensor is just Google exynos chip. Will not surpass Snapdragon anytime soon.

You think, 2 seconds of delay in opening an app or game makes it slower? seriously! Does 2 sec opening app delay matters in real life? hahaha You people are hilarious! lol Think practically, Benchmarks doesn't matter in real life usage of an average consumer. Go watch the results It matches A15 in optimization n ram management in apps even outclass A15 in opening some heavy games and apps! Do not try to misguide people here. This is the only phone that can definitely beat or match apple in almost everything except maybe battery life but still it has a great battery. Do not forget the major December update that is still coming. Learn more about Google's long term optimizations of their phones.

                  ToxicTaZ, 02 Dec 2021Huh? Google Pixel 6 Pro has 4 - cameras that all do 4K 6... moreDid you read the review? QUOTE: "4K @60fps is only possible with the main camera."

                    While the google pixel 6 pro maybe 80% faster than Google's previous flagship phone(pixel 5) it was only a mid tier phone using a Qualcomm snapdragon 765+ which was several steps below Qualcomm chips at the time. Now regarding the google made tensor chip in the pixel 6 pro is good since it'll allow better optmmunization which is something apple has done for many years in their I phones. That's good that google has following in Apple's successful footsteps. However since the Google's new tensor chip is new it'll need years to be perfected like Apple's own made chip but in the meantime tensor chips will be consideribly inferior to apple chips including benchmark tests in which the a15 bionic chip blows away Google's tensor chip. So it's best to wait awhile for google to making those fixes and refinements because quite simply the pixel 6 pro is no match for Apple's iPhone 13 when it comes to refinement and speed.

                            Google Pixel 6 Pro has 4 - cameras that all do 4K 60fps video on it!

                            50MP, 48MP, 12.5MP, 11.5MP

                            Where do get less MP from?

                              Google's Top Shot image quality is still terrible. You get either 0.8 or 3.1 megapixels, when you choose a specific frame. The Top Shot quality of an iPhone 13 Mini (yes, the iPhone offers exactly the same feature) is far superior.

                                  By the way, 3rd party apps can't save dng files with the periscope camera and 3rd party apps can't access the 50/48 megapixel modes either.
                                  Very disappointing.

                                      This is not even the full review!!!
                                      No stereo speakers test? No video test for all 4 stabilization modes including test for Cinematic Pan mode? No proper battery test, since its an adaptive battery? Do the test again n review it the right way!
