Great as expected! Would buy another. Does more than my last phone

So sorry but I haven't activated it yet so cannot comment.

If your phone is less than 2 years old, you may want to skip this as an upgrade. If you're still rocking a Pixel3 or older, read on. The Pixel 6 series rocks Google's new Tensor chip, their first attempt at an in house system on a chip (SOC). While it works, there is definitely an early adopter tax going on. Many features such as the under the screen finger print sensor, live translation, or even system responsiveness are not on par with many other chips. I found myself often going back to my Pixel 4a when I needed to get tasks done quickly and for my daily driver. Google did release a system update that helped with some of the issues, but I suspect that we won't be getting full system performance out of the Tensor chip until Android 13 is released. The phone itself is well built and feels good in the hand. I like not having the indent in the back of the case which means that any case I purchase for the phone no longer needs to have the cutout. Speaking of cutout , I do not like the position of the camera cutout on this phone. Top center is prime real estate on the screen both in vertical and horizontal mode, and the camera clutters it up. The previous top left corner on the 4 and 5 felt less obtrusive and I found myself forgetting it was there most of the time. Battery life is great on the Tensor chip, but I wonder how much of that will change once the chip is really unleashed. As it stands, even under moderate to heavy gaming, I was still getting a full day of use out of the phone. Given that this still only includes an 18W charging port, this is critical, as you'll likely be plugging this in over night and using the adaptive charge to keep your battery in tip top shape. As far as software/SoC features go, Google is touting magic eraser as their big new gimmick and honestly I wasn't impressed. Anyone that has used Photoshop has seen how digital erasing works and I found the results to be the same or less impressive than using a desktop. Unless what you're erasing is surrounded by a surface with lots of random patterns, such as clouds, the pictures look very obviously edited, something that most desktop apps do better. I also found that through copying the new photos app apk file to my Pixel 4a, I received the same results, so this is more of a software gimmick than a SoC feature. Speaking of photos, I really did not see an upgrade in visual quality on the 6a vs. previous Pixel models. Yes, the 6a can do 240fps @ 1080p and 30fps @ 4k in video recording, but the picture quality itself is not much better. Pair this with the same 6GB of RAM as we've seen for many years and the fact that Google killed the headphone jack while the 5a retained it while also being water resistant and the used market is looking a lot better than the new market right now.

I like it, easy to use and takes great pictures. Good phone

Love this phone, works perfect, highly recommend it.

I received the phone the next day which was great however the phone itself is not that great. The battery barely lasts a day which is bad for a brand new phone and the fingerprint sensor is bad as well as it takes approximately 3-5 tries to unlock it.
