  • There’s a lot of hype around the Pixel 6, which has new cameras, Google’s Tensor chip and more premium ambitions. After a week testing the new phone, I can’t think of a better phone to recommend right now that costs under $600.

    I have had my Pixel 6 for a week now and I really love it. I have been a Samsung Note guy for the past years, paying twice as much as I did for this phone for the past 5 Notes and this phone is MUCH BETTER. I am amazed by the Android 12 features with this phone and the device itself is peppy and solid. This may be my best technology decision in the past 2 years. Thank you Google for this great phone at a great price.

      What was your last Note series phone? I still have the Note 10+ and I love it, it's a beast of a phone. I want to update for a newer smaller phone and something with a better camera... but I don't want to pay the amount for the new Samsung Galaxy s22(regular s22 not plus or ultra), and plus I hear the battery isn't very good. My first pick to replace my Note 10+ is the regular Google Pixel 6.

    • @micahjohnson9184

      I think the pixel 6 is a great choice. I bought the pixel 6 let me explain the reasoning. Same chip, and good battery life performance. With a 30Hz difference that most people won't notice cause it runs so smooth. I bought it for $838. I got a case, a 30 watt charger, and 2 years of device protection. But with a trade in of the pixel 4a 5g. I get $250 credit back so I'm really getting everything for less than the phone itself under Google Fi. Even without the trade in the 599 price is a absolute steal not to mention free pixel buds. If you want the pro go for it if you have the cash but the normal 6 does just as well with photos and video. It just depends if you want to spend the cash on 120 hz and a telephoto and maybe display but I think the flat display of the pixel 6 looks great and has no light bleed in. Not to say there's accidental touches on the Pixel 6 Pro cause they're probably isn't, but it's not likely to happen on the normal pixel 6. The pixel 6 display is beautiful but either will be really good. I think you would have to really pixel peep to notice major differences unless your a tech enthusiast like many of us. 👍

The best part of the pixel 6 pro it's its width of 75.9mm, 77 or 78 millimetres would have been better but this is not bad considering that the majority of phones now are ridiculously long and narrow, they're very hard to hold with one hand and manufactures are starting to make them even narrower which actually make it worst.
