It's only been a week since Pixel is out. it has an adaptive battery that takes time to learn your usage. Don't just believe in everything you see! Lol

        The phone is very slow.. slower than my 3year old oppo find x. I am a mistake buying it. So many features are missing which oppo find x has.. clone app, O roaming, lock app, extreme editing , fast charging. And many more.. even with a 30w charger it take 2hr to get full charged. If you click multiple photos. Phone hangs and shut down. This is not acceptable from Google. All fake reviews. This a bull shit phone dint waste your money.

          Badelhas, 08 Nov 2021I also still own a small Pixel 2 and love the camera but ba... moreS21 Ultra has better battery than Pixel 6 Pro. But if you have the Pixel 2, chances are you like small phones, in which case the S21 (base), Pixel 5, iPhone 13, Sony Xperia 5 II or Asus Zenfone 8 are better buys.

            I also still own a small Pixel 2 and love the camera but battery life sucks. I'm debating for weeks now if I should buy the Pixel 6 Pro for 900 euros or the S21 Ultra for 720. What do you think?
            Cheers

                @gsmarena, will there be photo/video samples added to your comparison tools for the Pixel 6 Pro?

                        I love my pixel and definitely want the pro this year. My only downfall is I wish we had something like apple does with a watch. I wanna be able to not have my phone in my pocket and be on the go without missing important calls or emails. Hopefully this year is the pixels year and it's not just rumors. It's Google come on we should have this technology already.

                          It's a modified Exynos 1080.

                          Samsung messed it up this year for both Exynos and Qualcomm chips.

                            Go check golden reviewer's channel.... This issue isn't present on ipad pro as compared by him in the video.
                            Plenty of other unbiased reviewers have pointed out how the iPhone feels like 90hz where it should actually feel like 120hz.

                              Also the pixel showed the worst throttling in repeated Antutu tests on Android... matching Apple's soc in thermal throttling. This points to the fact that, once again big companies like Google, Samsung and Apple are wholeheartedly skipping the thermal management at the hardware level.

                              I did not hear a word about these negatives from the embargo brigade.

                                  Zanr Zij, 06 Nov 2021Disappoint about battery life. This make me choose IP 13 Pro MaxThat only means the new Google Tensor chip isn't really energy efficient. Always expect disappointment with first gen products.

                                  Samsung's One UI has the best implementation of Android, better than stock Android. Unfortunately Samsung phones come preinstalled with Microsoft crapware and proprietary Samsung bloat.

                                  If only there's an Android skin that's aesthetically pleasing and functional like OneUI, lightweight like stock Android, but without the preinstalled stuff found on Samsung phones.

The "super resolution" HDR+ raw files have a resolution of approximately 3 megapixels at 8x. And there is really no advantage. I'd rather call it anti-resolution zoom. It ignores the full resolution mode of the sensor and it will still apply a very aggressive noise reduction, when you zoom digitally. I compared the periscope digital zoom with a traditional camera that achieves the same number of pixels per angle and also captures the same amount of light per angle: The traditional camera actually did better because it didn't apply aggressive noise reduction. I also have the impression that in certain light conditions, Google doesn't combine frames anymore, if you don't use Night Sight. It's a disadvantage that they don't offer HDR+ enhanced anymore, which is a fast Night Sight mode.
