Either this phone is terrible or I got a defective one. The screen flashes yellow, the signal completely drops to "searching" frequently, there is ghosting of the screen, native apps crash, the screen goes black frequently.
I spent days emailing Google and they just say that it will be fixed in a future update. They can not explain how hardware issues will be resolved ina future update. They are telling me to bring it back to best buy and pay the $45 restocking fee because they won't issue and RMA.
I regret everything about this purchase. Even worse is the lack of support for the product and the unwillingness to honor the product warranty. I am in the process of filing a complaint because it was bought with the expectation that it would function.

Been wanting to try out an Android device after being with Apple for several years and the Google Pixel 6 is a great affordable device.
Having the option of utilizing 90hz display with good battery life is amazing.
Camera is great but could be better.
Overall great device for the price!

I got the carrier locked version( T - mobile) , was able to unlock it in about 40 days after service. Since I use T-mobile from ages and plan to stick around with them, the price that I got about 440$ seems a good deal.
The Pros: Stock Android, best update cycle, Pretty handy and not too big. Setup was a breeze no issues.
I am not seeing the problems mentioned by many on fingerprint scanner being slow. It works better than the S22 Ultra that I have as well, and this is with a 3rd party tempered screen protector.
Camera is good though not good as the pro version, but still good enough
Cons:
1. Battery life can be better
2. Face unlock not available- bummer

Great phone. Had it for 2 years, wish I had more memory build into it for all my phone. Only bad from my end is the water resistant is very questionable; my 5y/o kid submerge it for less than 2sec in the beach and it broke.

Great phone and unbelievable deal! The trade in deals are unreal, they give values that are more than twice the value of the device you’re trading in! That’s subtracted from the price of the phone and paid less than $100 for a brand new Pixel 6, that was just released the week before. Paid in full, no silly bill credits or anything like that.
Loving the new design, it’s quite unique . The Tensor chip is plenty fast. The phones pretty durable too for how fragile it looks. Dropped it a dozen or so times on my hardwood floors, bracing myself for a disaster each time I pick it up but no damage, still like new. A couple little scratches on the corner but don’t think that was caused by me dropping it. Awesome camera, nearly as good as my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The delete objects from your photo feature is pretty neat. You get a lot of phone for $599!

Overall a great value phone at its price, but the software somehow is relatively buggy, and I'm disappointed by the "end of life" timeline only being 3-ish years for feature updates. Google should be competing with Apple here and having phones that are supported for 4, 5, or even 6 years. As of the writing of this review, the iPhone 6s is 6 and a half years old and is still supported by Apple, amazing... So, in summary, it's a great value phone and I really like the cameras and the Pixel experience, but Google could do better.

Definitely better than the vanilla Pixel 6, feels smoother and camera is a good improvement. Battery life is virtually identical in daily use for me. The phone has a much more premium feel in the hand than pixel 6 or iPhone, that said it is prone to getting warm under heavy use and slows down at those times.

I was surprised at how hot this phone would get randomly. I read about it happening sometimes, and I thought it would happen only during high CPU activity. That is not the case. It gets hot regularly while doing anything.
Otherwise it looks great and the size is small in a good way.

Overall I like the fact that apps are updated regularly and the camera is excellent. Also I think the speakers are top notch for a handheld phone. There are times the bluetooth looses connection and have to restart the phone. Would be 5 stars but for that problem.

I bought this phone for my son and he loves it so much. The camera quality is awesome, the puffy-looking style makes the phone pleasing to look at and makes it easier to navigate. It has awesome features like live captions, a camera magic eraser, easy google assistant access, and much more. I 110% recommend this phone for anyone looking for a sleek, high speed, quality camera, and a fast response rate.

I've only had this device a couple of weeks. Screen is nice and bright, colors pop, fast and responsive. I've read where some people have had various problems with it ( ghost dialing, no charging with certain chargers) but I haven't experienced any of them. Definitely worth the upgrade.

I've had the phone for about 2 weeks now. So far the phone hasn't really impressed me. For a phone with 8gb of ram I would expect it to be fairly fast but I really haven't noticed much of a difference in performance compared to my oneplus 7t. The pixel 6 battery life is pretty horrible and it takes forever to charge as well. The camera however on the pixel 6 is great, it takes great quality pictures. Overall for the price it's a good phone but there are more affordable options that perform just as well.

I've been a Pixel fan for a while but they've outdone themselves this time. Brilliant camera lot of cool features like crash detection and the magic erase and while my heavy usage means i dont quite get two days, the battery still makes it through my 14-16 hour work days. My only regret is getting it in Black instead of Sorta Seafoam.

Fingerprint sensor can take multiple tries to open. The keyboard occasionally freezes for a couple seconds when typing. Camera occasionally freezes and doesn't take any pictures when you hit the capture button. I never use 5G because it rarely works and when it does work it's usually slower than 4G. Screen seems to scratch easily. Some other small annoyances but those are the big items. Good battery life, pictures are good quality. It's a decent phone. I would not recommend since there's enough little problems that makes it annoying.
