I like the old format of the video starting from the pixel 2 tech rewind. This looks generic and just thrown out.
What does a camera have to do with a phone? NOTHING
Me too
I've had my Google Pixel 6 Pro since March 2022 and I've had some hiccups like heating issues when using camera especially when recording in 4k60 and playing COD Mobile, random reboots, but after the Android 14 Software update my goodness this phone is a BEAST and FLY'S like no other phone I've ever used, and on top of that my geekbench score is way higher than it was when I originally got it on Android 12, a thousand more points then before for both single and multi score. It's AMAZING how good the phone runs now, even recording video is so much better with heat management I can record video in 4k60 with no problems now it's literally like a BRAND NEW PHONE!! Funny thing is I was about to upgrade to the Pixel 8 Pro but after the Android 14 update and how good the Pixel 6 Pro is now I will be keeping it for another year. Thank you Google y'all pulled through this time🙂👍🏼
That is bc it was geekbench5 before and it's geekbench 6 rn. not that the 6 pro havent improved. but geekbench 6 and 5 differ a lot.
@@chethaz that still doesn't take away the fact that my phone runs much better and no more heating issues when recording video in 4k60👍🏼
@@KingdomWithin7 speaking of that, I've never had heating issues while shooting 4k60. I bought it since the launch and still rocking solid
@@chethaz yeah kinda like my ego waffles weren't perfectly round due to manufacturing errors🤷🏽
But hey my pixel is amazing now I love it!💪🏼💯
Most of flagship have this issue
I went from the Samsung Galaxy S9 to the pixel 6 Pro back in 2021, and I haven't looked back since. I love the pixel 6 Pro, and I will probably have the one that I have until 2026. Here's hoping by 2026 Google has a new phone that I actually like.
Probably not long since 2025 Google is rumoured to use a far efficient chipset. Whether it's as powerful will probably be waiting to see.
@joelconolly5574 if it's more efficient it would certainly mean more performance since mobile chipsets are only hugely held back by thermal limits, no?
How come with selfie photos when you view it, it's dark. Also when shooting video and view it the view is opposite of how video was shot on selfie side
@@joelconolly5574WOW! A phone released 4 years later is more powerful? Unbelievable
i wanna wait till atleast 2027
Appreciate you doing this series. I'm coincidentally considering getting an older phone, since I don't really see anything that newer phones do remarkably better, then may as well save a few bucks.
Definitely.
After the deep review of the market and real comparison - bought myself used iPhone 13 Pro and absolutely happy.
I Currently still use my Pixel 6. prior to that i had a Pixel 2 and before that a nexus 4 the quality and generally decent lifespan of these devices has been great for me. My pixel 2 still lives and is my backup phone for when i travel
My pixel 2, 3a, 4 and 6 are still going strong. I still have my 2, 4 and 6, my mother has my 3a
So. You can have identical eSimms in two phones? 🥳
@@bubblerings physical sim. No esim option on these phones where I live
Just upgraded from the 6 to the 8, I'm really liking the 8, i mainly notice 120hz vs 90hz but I was absolutely fine on 90hz, and now much brighter the 8's screen is, I like the wider ultrawide too and actually how small it is, my friend got my 6 as an upgrade from a A43 5G (i think), I'll enjoy the 7 years of updates when this eventually gets passed onto my mum.
Oh and the face unlock, love it, just hate the software locking of the pro camera modes between the 8 & the 8 Pro.
this is the pixel 6 Pro with 120 mhz refresh rate
Hows the battery SOT of pixel 6?
Watching this on my Pixel 6 Pro right now. Have the best but still love the P6P.❤
Does it still overheat?
@@dumfriesspearhead7398 yeah it gets as hot as the sun. There's even a chance your house might explode if it gets too hot
@@whysoserious4464 lol 😆 haha Android 14 never fixed that problem? 🤔
Excellent video as always, Mark!! I really like your tech rewind videos!! Even though I have a Samsung S21 base model I really considering getting another Pixel phone in the near future. Maybe the Pixel 9.
I got it for 290 dollars in mint condition and I can’t complain much. The portrait from the camera could be much better but I never liked how pixels took portraits but everything else apart from that works perfectly. Fingerprint sensor, processor, all good
How bout Xperia 5 mark 3? is it good for this year?
The 6 series should receive a higher updates score b/c of the 5 years of security updates (the most important updates)
Bro I feel heating issue in my Google pixel 6 pro, do u know how to fix it .. please anybody else
@@Sksahil758 In the mobile data settings, hard set the network usage to LTE vs 5G
I am gonna to selling my pixel 6 pro..
Anybody intereste ..??
yes please @@Sksahil758
Was thinking of 2018 phones on Tech Rewind.. :)
Kinda want to see how they hold up after years
I loved the Indigo Star Tac. I was using the text messaging feature [or trying to] before text blew up, but it was too unreliable. I'd get responses days later.
Debating on going for these or either s22 or S23 fe thoughts?
I bought the 6 pro the day they came out. It was the first pixel I bought where I was worried that I made the wrong choice (I've had the 1, the 3xl, and the 5). The connectivity issues were so aggravating 😅 but I stuck it out and I still have the same phone I bought day one. Google really stumbled with the launch of the 6 line imo, but definitely saved it with the updates by the skin of their teeth. Where the phone is now is honestly pretty great. It's definitely not my favorite pixel, but I can at least say I'll be continuing to buy the pixel line of phones based off of Google's dedication to supporting their phones.
Does this still overheat?
One video about the S22 pls ❤️🙏
I can't find your wallpapers. Link please
Should i swap my rog 5s 12/256 to a pixel 6 pro 12/128?
😊 Good stuff. Thank you for this! 👍
Hello from Athens Greece. Pixel 6 pro vs mate 40 pro. What is your opinion? thanks in advanced. owner of mate 40 pro
Something I recommend to install on this device is Evolution X. It does some amazing things like improving thermal performance of the phone and reducing a LOT of the drain issue on LTE. Also it adds some customization and the system is wide supported on the community
Or just install android 14 ,lol
@@dennisjohnston7967 i did but knowing Google is not as good as you may think. Community roms always offer more things and are more updated
Still using my Pixel 6 and it's still going strong. The Pro would be the far better value buy now but the standard 6 was one of the best bang for your buck phones when it came out.
now its better to buy pixel 6 or 6pro?More of users says that display for 6pro cost like airplane wing,and I dont know yet that to buy 6,6pro or 7a
@@dreampostermd Honestly? I would wait for the 8a if you can and it's in your budget. 8 series and forward have 7 years of software support vs 6/6 Pro has 1 year left and 7a 2 years left. If you absolutely need a phone now, want to be new and have a tight budget, go with the Samsung A54. Great value and 4 years of software support.
Bought one brand new on ebay for 300€ absolutely in love
I would love for you to check the Huawei mate 20x
I love the speakers on the Pixel 6 pro!
How many years are we looking back on phones?
I bought this phone for camera use; my daily driver is a oneplus 9 pro.
I give it a 10 for design. It totally reminds me of Geordi La Forge from Star Trek.
I also give it a 10 for the camera/software. It takes phenomenal pictures with minimal input from me, i direct contrast with the Op9pro which despite the Hasselblad takes trash pictures.
That green screen took me by surprise, definitely a different quality than your other shots and videos
Thanks for the video. I'll definitly use it to purchase my first Pixel phone. My priority are photos.
can you do on the next video OnePlus 11 ? Please
I went from the Note 9 to the pixel 6 pro. About half a year in the charging port started to crap out, the signal began to be spotty and the battery became unreliable. I also got tired quick at the lack of brightness compared to displays I was used to. I could NOT WAIT to get my hands in an S24. I will probably stick with samsung in the long run from now on.
Would you suggest I buy this phone or the A54 from samsung? The price is the same (300€)
Get the pixel man. It's a flagship phone
Hello Sir !from Phil. here I have a Q? Planning to buy Google Pixel pro! a 2 nd hand only here in my Country .Q? is the problem of 6/6pro Fix already? I'm hoping for your reply Thank you in advance
Bought a Sorta Sunny 6 Pro refurb on Amazon for $250 the other day as I’ve not had any experience with a modern android flagship. Having had an iPhone as my main phone for well over a decade I’m excited to try the hardware and software compared to my 14 Pro Max and thought $250 was absolutely amazing for the hardware.
Drop the link where you bought it on Amazon
Please pixel 6pro or the pixel 7a, which should I go for?
6 pro
That sharp depreciation is why I never buy pixels new. I bought my pixel 6 for $350 used only a few months after it came out. I'll be doing the same thing when I upgrade to the pixel 9.
I find pixel 6 pro for 200$ it's a bit damaged but it's old used for 2-3 years so i don't know should i get it or get new poco f3 someone respond pls
How about "Sony Xperia 1 iii" for an episodes of tech rewind?
How about Google Pixel 7 ?
4:09 😁
I see what you did there
I dont even use my 6 Pro as a phone.
Bought it for GoPro Quik video edits.
I have no money for a computer, yet.
12Gb RAM. 🎉
Best buy, ever!!❤
Interestingly I never had an issue with rhe fingerprint sensor on my 6 pro
Definitely love the design 10/10, got mine two years ago and still using it today. Some times I'd just take out the cover and admire this beauty
please do about pixel 7 pro
Mark we're still waiting for your Pixel 8 review
Wrong again the tensor chip out performs the 888 in GPU
Your pixel speaker must be damaged. I find the 6 pro has the richest sound of any phone I've tested. Same applies to the smaller pixel 6.
I agree, black sucks for phones. It's time for a change to Orange!
I bought the used phone now and loving the performance
I pre ordered my current 6 pro 512 gig. I am waiting on the 9 pro before I buy another phone.
Still use my pixel 6pro 😊
Keep up the good work brother,Fan from India ❤
My screen phone died from the high ground with full Protection 2:55 in this clip with a case some how the cost that fix it up to 200usd
Bro if you have either iphone, Samsung and of course google pixel made in ND 2018 you still have a phone of highest quality stimm smart phone
These are some of the best speakers I've heard. So couldn't agree
you comparing with which phone cause i think the speaker are just awesome
YES
5G drains mine way more than LTE.
Can you turn the 5G off? I'm deciding whether or not I want to get one of these or the Galaxy Z Flip 4 5G.
@@irateamatsuyes you can Im using LTE on my pixel 6 and it works better than 5G
@@irateamatsuyou can turn off the 5g in connection settings to lte even down to 2g and it also turns off when you turn the battery saver on
THERES NO WAY. I WAS LITERALLY JUST WONDERING ABOUT THIS PHONE AND I SENT AN OFFER TO A GUY. THIS IS AMAZING TIMING AND AMAZING VIDEO AS USUAL ❤
Thank you. it will run out of security updates in 2026?
I believe 2027
Recently shifted to the 6 pro and i can't be happier!
Coming from the s20+ the main issue I had was the battery, and the pixel 6 pro is sufficient enough
I absolutely love the cameras and photos it captures. And although I do miss a few things from the Samsung, overall the phone has been the best decision ever.
Definitely not switching back to samsung anytime soon due to the heating issues
Does your Pixel 6 Pro have any heating issues or rapid battery drain? My Pixel 7A has both those problems.
@@JRei23AZ I consider myself to be a pretty average user, i play clash royale and stuff sometimes and i haven't experienced any heating issues. Sure the phone gets warm after gaming or when using hotspot but that's about it. (The average temperature in my area is around 24 soo that could play a part)
In terms of rapid battery drain, i am yet to experience it. However, the phone does lose a little more battery when on mobile data.
There must be something wrong with the speakers on your handsety pixel 6 pro speakers are perfectly balanced and actually have some bass certainly not tinny they sound great
Foind a new one at a pawnshop for 80. Was seeing if its good for mother in law
I need to get my hands Google pixel 6pro
random reboot and fingeprint stopped working in my pixel 6 pro😢its so annoying
Have you upgrade to android 14 ?
@@kjmchc1010 yes brother
Crazy its actually 200 and less all over ebay now
ikr? I got mine for 950 early 2022
S21 plus please
I came here cuz I got my phone screen fixed and I thought they put a different screen in my pencils were bigger 😭🤣🤣 it's the same
Well I just bought a 6 Pro 🥰
Not going to lie, the Pixel 6 pro was a surprise when it was announced , google did good for their first attempt better than i thought
got mine for 180 dollars good condition best for the price
My phone broke so i got a Google 6 pro. Very solid i like it . I give it a 8.5 out of 10. Because although i like the design of it definitely finger smudges all over the place lol
after 2 months using it, my screen is dead, all black.
Watching with 6pro now
I would say no, but if you have it no reason to upgrade now/this year.
In conclusion get a s23 ultra second hand cause it's better in every way and you can find them for like 600 $ easy
Watching from 6pro❤❤❤
Don't understand the poor speaker comment . Personally my pixel 6 pro has one of the best speaker setups in a phone I've used including iPhone 14 pro max, s22 ultra etc.
3:00 why didnt you show the drop test like you did with the water dunk test? uhhh I have an idea, bc you didnt do it. no way the phone unscathed on a 6ft drop. I call total BS
no doubt. you called it, thats precisely why they didn't show it, because if they did do it, they most definitely would have showed LOL
Meh, I have the Pixel 6 and it's an okay phone.
I've been getting weird bugs lately, the finger print scanner is bad and the most important part this review missed is no face unlock.
I kind of liked my Oneplus 8t better tbh
i have no problem with finger print
do you all guys agree on the speaker 🔈
Just bought the pixel 6p from Best buy open box version for 450 incl taxes. WHAT A STEAL! Thank You
Have been using the Pixel 7 Pro for the past year.
Absolutely love this thing. Curved Displays are sooooo good.
Have had a few 'Pixel Exclusive Issues' lmao, but otherwise it is the best phone for a vast majority of people looking for phones in this segment.
P.S. My S22 Ultra blows it out of the water in every aspect imaginable tho.
Now news since a month are you okay ?
Everything's good! I was sick for awhile through the holidays but I'm back working on videos right now!
Just bought one for 220£
Finally i got greenline on my pixel 6 pro 💔🙂
Security updates uuu who cares.
These reviews aren't talking about battery issues. They have bad hardware, run hot, and degrade battery function pretty fast
Watching in 6P 😅
[233]]]
Your background is disaster
Do not let you fall into the Pixel rabbit hole. The battery life is GARBAGE. 4 hours of SoT using LTE. 0 customisation (you CAN'T remove the date from the main screen without changing the launcher)
True.
I use Pixel 6A and could not be asking for anything better for that price
