*Maximum battery life based on testing using a mix of talk, data, standby, and use of other features. Battery life depends upon many factors and usage of certain features will decrease battery life.
Battery testing conducted by a third party in California in mid 2021 on pre-production hardware and software, using default settings. Battery testing conducted using two major carrier networks using Sub-6 GHz non-standalone 5G (ENDC) connectivity. Actual battery life may be lower.

I've had this phone for 2 years now.Phone has been great. I wish I would've gotten a larger memory because with this camera quality I find myself taking an ample amount of photos. Battery life is good. Processing speed good. I honestly have had zero issues with this phone. I have children who constantly need it to watch other children on YouTube play with toys, they aren't too gentle with it either and it has withstood all issues as it presented.

This is phone provides flagship specs with higher security at a lesser price, and advanced features that other popular brands don’t not offer. The Google Spam & Call Screen feature that automatically blocks spam calls and detects robocalls. I used to get at least 3 or more unwanted calls per day and now maybe one or two per week that slips by the spam system, (usually newly created phone numbers) on these calls you can screen the call by selecting that option on the call, then read the transcript via text of the call and decide to take it or mark as spam and block this is such a fantastic system in today age of high levels of fraud calls. This advance feature alone merits a 5-star review from me since I now have peace during the day.
Another great feature that is not offered by anybody else is Wait Times, Direct My Call and Hold For Me that can tell you the current hold time for a business’s customer service before you even dial, as well as the projected wait times for later in the day or week. The Direct My Call option is for who has ever forgotten the list of choices by the time an automated message is reading off. It presents the options and their associated numbers right on the screen, so that you don’t have to listen to the entire spiel again just because you were distracted for a moment. Hold For Me shows what the automated call is saying via transcript text, and you can place the call on hold (so you don’t hear any wait music) and it detects when a human comes on the line by notifying you.
The problems what I experienced was the highly mentioned fingerprint reader being inaccurate & slow, Bluetooth file transfers being slow also and noticed that cellular on 4G would drop out from time to time, but all issues thankfully have been addressed with the latest SD1A.210817.037 update.
The phone general performance has been excellent and battery life is good also with my screen brightness at 77%, I get around 50% battery left when I go to bed. Games like Asphalt 9 & Sky: Children of the Light run perfect. Call quality on calls is noticeably better than my prior Samsung Galaxy phone. Photos are good too; this Pixel phone checks all the boxes I expect from a flagship phone with bells and whistles that I can’t live without from this point on.

This was the best phone I've had until I traded it in on my current Pixel 7 Pro. It has a very good camera and display. It's a good size and it performs very well. I also like that the camera bump goes across the entire width of the phone so that it doesn't rock when you use it on a desk. That's something I never understood with other phone designs like the iPhone. It's a little detail, but it's annoying to have the phone rocking back and forth while you're using it on a flat surface.

I bought this phone to replace my pixel 3a and its a huge upgrade. The screen is very sharp and the 90 hertz is just an extra bonus. The camera is amazing just like every pixel that I have owned. The battery lasts all day for me. The design is something that other may not like but i love how it looks different compared to other devices on the market. The seafoam color looks very nice and is colorful but still not too bright or flashy.

My teen son was needed a new phone I watched a few reviews online & was really impressed with the pixel 6. I wanted to get my son a flagship phone & this doesn't disappoint. He's been using cheaper prepaid Android phones & this is a big upgrade in battery, camera, OLED screen & only stock android apps loaded onto it leaves him plenty of storage for his music, videos & photos. I have a galaxy S21 ultra & although the pixel 6 lacks a few things my phone has I would be happy with it for the lower price if I were to switch.

I owned all the Google devices in the past and the pixel 6 is not disappointing. Battery life is amazing,camera is awesome and the display is fantastic. The price of 599$ for a brand new flagship device is just insanely good.

Went from a Samsung Note 10+ to the Pixel 6 (Kinda Coral) for a few reasons:
- Live Translate: it is VASTLY superior to Google Translate. It is not perfect -- but it is able to pick up every word of my in-laws' non-stamdard dialect of Vietnamese.
- Smart AI Assistant: Bixby is useless. You can do a lot with this phone's Google Assistant + Tensor Chip (I hope I spelt that correctly).
- Camera: The Camera takes sharp pictures and has some neato features. It also has some video editing as well which is useful for myself since social media is my 2nd source of income.
- Accurate Speech-To-Text that adapts to your linguistic jargon/way of speaking. I wrote this entire review with this amazing feature that can be used in conjunction with your buds.
It isn't a perfect phone -- but it's the perfect Pixel phone and it is the smartest phone I've played with. Doesn't feel like another generic android slap-on UI. It feels like its very own.

A:The $599 will work with Verizon's 5g network. The $699 version will include the mmwave level 5G network. Both phone work with verizon, and with 5G, but if you live in one of the blocks that has mmwave capability, it will not work with this. The standard Pro phone does include mmwave radios by default.
A:You cannot use an external USB DAC(Digital to Analogue Converter) with the Pixel 6 until the kernel bug that prevents USB audio drivers from working is fixed with a software update. This update is expected to be released in June 2022 or later in the summer.
This includes dongles with DACs. (All quality dongles contain DACS)
