Received mine on released day.
My feelings are... it's ok.
The touchscreen has some (many) problems responding to touches. This is BY FAR the biggest issue. I can confirm it's not a hardware problemb so I hope this will be addressed later.
Other annoyances (unordered) are it gets warm (never uncomfortable but if still bothers me because I know what that's doing to the battery), battery life could be better (however, that's purely due to my previous phone which had incredible battery life, but shite perf & quality & software support)... and that's all the ungood.
Build quality is quite nice, cams are good, perf is quick, and the screen is much better than I expected (refresh rates don't bug me since, unless I'm plugged in, I'm far more concerned with the battery).
... actually, it's pretty good 👍

Anonymous, 07 Aug 2022Samsung ecosystem? LOL
Iphone users have high chance of... moreYes Samsung ecosystem.
-The most popular android smartwatch is the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. Guess with which smartphones it works best/fully.
-Some of the most popular bluetooth earbuds are the galaxy buds. Again,guess with which smartphones they sound the best.
-Some of the most popular/sold tablets are again the Samsung Galaxy tab series. Best multipoint connection is with Samsung smartphones.
-And the Android Airtags alternative is the Samsung Smart tag which again works best with Samsung smartphones.
So yeah, despite the big amount of alternatives on the Android world, Samsung ecosystem is a thing, almost like Apples for many.

Now every year just more bugs, OEMs need to pause updates to work on corrections.
New android should be every 2 years.

Oh, god, look at the noise in those photos. Pixel fans would call this the best camera phone ever. That's how brainwashed they are.

Zuzuz, 07 Aug 202212x from xiaomi destroy this phone at around same price. 1+... moreThe 12x is still €600 in many European countries like Germany and Spain for example on Xiaomi's official website and is even €800 in France so it's significantly more expensive in many European countries. It's also not officially sold in some European regions like the UK for example. If it's available for less than €500 (like for example in Italy where it's currently just under 500), then yeah it's a good alternative but it won't be available at that price for many. Xiaomi charges different prices is different European countries at different times so it's hard to generalise on the price. In America, Xiaomi isn't officially available at all

LoneOwl, 07 Aug 2022S21 FE actually destroys this phone in general now that it ... moreSumsung s21FE is the only alternative comes to my mind.
I live on a country were pixels are not officially sell. but I almost Skip the Chinese all together for a pixel! :)
By the way pixel 6 now has 480€ here (got mine for 550€)
S21 Fe around 450-500 too!
6a is not available yet and usually they cost about 50-100 more than official price till some months later.
Yes it will be a though competition! Because majority of people don't think like I do :)

Zuzuz, 07 Aug 202212x from xiaomi destroy this phone at around same price. 1+... morenope not for me sure100% . Maybe for your special one should be better but not for all.
Although I have already pixel 6 I know what you mean. The same could be said for pixel 4a vs Nord but is depends on your priorities.
If you need a feature more than an other ok you know what to get. But if a Balanced midrange with great camera is all you need then Pixel 6a is thale Best option.
Now if you happen compare by specs... just try out yourself and you will see (I was hooked once with the Chinese over -speccy philosophy too)

It means that even if you don't use your phone, you're going to be charging it frequently. With the slow charging, it becomes tedious. The Tensor chips are a step backwards in this regard. Given there's no upgrade to the camera sensor and the FP sensor is questionable, I'll stick with my 4a 5G and switch to a custom ROM once support ends.

GSMA, I love your reviews, but please spell check them. There are typos on nearly every page in this review. Paste them into Word if your webUI doesn't have a spell-checker!

Iphone users have high chance of also having airpods and apple watch.
You will never see significant amount of people that use galaxy that also have their earbuds and watch when cheaper options can work same way.
