No Plan-Unlocked Device Google Pixel 6 Pro Cell Phone 128GB 12GB RAM Stormy Black

Awesome phone. Camera is amazing and screen has great picture. However it wasn't/isn't compatible with US Cellular. Cannot send texts more than 160 characters, MMS or pics to most people. Compatibility issue. There are different versions of Pixel phones. This one with the GA at the front of the model number has many bugs with certain providers. I spent DAYS trying everything to get it to function. Tech support from everywhere it was a nightmare. Tried multiple apps etc. Every angle I tried. Ended up sending the phone information to Google support for advice. They didn't solve my issue but I did learn from them that the phone I bought from walmart.com that was sold to me supposedly brand new, was actually in the system as being once used as a demo phone. I would've never known...or even cared tbh... It was a nice phone nonetheless, just the GA version isn't compatible across the board so you will have issues with other people you communicate with, guarantee it. Still, wasn't the happiest I was told it was new in box and turns out it actually wasn't...but Walmart has become Amazon gen2 so probably shouldn't have expected different. The case I ordered at the same time from Walmart took over 2 weeks to arrive because it apparently shipped directly from China.

The seller didn't mention that it's a refurbished product. I returned it. The earpiece doesn't work as a stereo speaker. And also there was no cable for charging.

great features, user friendly. love the voice mail featiure. i van listen to my messages from my call histoty. don't havre to call voicemail.

So I had the pixel 4 xl before and I'm not to mad about missing soni but the squeeze for Google assistant was my favorite and really set that phone apart from the rest for me. I also miss face unlock quite a bit, I think that you still should have have us some option for face unlock using the front camera. Especially sense the front finger print senser is seen part from the rest. All that is one thing I live is all the cameras on that phone the more I use it the more impressive it gets. But also protecting my phone is very important to me because I want to have this phone for we long as possible so not being able to have a glass screen protector really upsets me because the quality is just so much nicer. The rest of the phone is very amazing and slick, I am very impressed by the screen and the responsiveness of it.

It's a good phone, everything you would expect from a high end smartphone in 2021, if you have niche interests you want to make sure it fulfills I'm sure there's a youtube video about it. speaking as someone switching over from an iPhone X the only things I really miss are it's 3D touch feature (although there are alternative methods for most of its functions), and various small instances where it's apparent that apple put a bit more effort into UX than Google, I often find one tap/swipe tasks on an iPhone requiring two to three steps on my pixel, and a completely trivial thing that comes to mind is that I can't adjust the brightness of the flashlight mode as I could on an iPhone. This is all pretty minor stuff, nice phones have become pretty homogeneous over the years. One actual gripe I have is that the seam between the screen and the phone body is very apt to collecting grime, also I wish there was a way to turn off the automatic enhancements applied to photos you take.

Pros: If travel ever opens up again the Interpreter app will be great for travel. The screen is easy to read and smooth. Cameras for pictures are great. Video just ok. Price is OK. I have never seen a 5G signal so no comment on that. Battery is average and charges OK.Cons: The finger print reader is awful for something you have to interact with many times a day. I prefer the back fingerprint reader. Screen on some apps seems to glitch a little if you hit a button by accident briefly. The body of the phone is slippery and hard to hold. Needs to be improved. I liked the odd color on/off switch. I do not like the wrap around screen. What is the point of it? The deciding factor for me was as an older person I felt I need the better screen. Otherwise I would think most people should get the pixel 6. I am a point and shoot picture guy the fancy features will never be used by people like me. The other deciding factor to stay with pixel is Fi service has worked well in many countries.

I absolutely love this phone. It's gorgeous, screen is crisp and bright, and it's responsive. BUT I do have a few gripes: 1 - Notifications stick the clock in the upper left corner of the lock screen and as far as I can see there's no way to change that short of disabling notifications. 2 - I can no longer click the clock in the top bar to open the clock app...why? Removing a feature seems like an odd move. 3 - Two thumbs way down on the on-screen fingerprint scanner. I cannot stand the feel of plastic screen protectors. Bring back facial recognition or dedicated sensor please. Fortunately most (if not all) of my complaints could be addressed in soft/firmware. Hint hint Google ;-)Also Pixel Watch plsthx

Like the title says, everything is great except the finger print reader. I think it neat that its into the screen but it's slow to read and unlock the phone. I came from a Pixel XL and the finger print reader on the back of it worked great, easy to access with you index or middle fingers if there clean and dry. On the 6 Pro it's slow to read your finger and unlock the phone. But it is nice to be able to unlock the phone when it's laying down with just a finger.Everything else about the phone is great, it's quick, responsive, 5G is quick too. camera takes great pictures in almost any condition (I'm still learning all the modes). Voice commands are quick. Battery life last a day easy if i don't spend hours watching video on in. It looks great without a case, but it like holding warm stick of butter and just asked to be dropped. So i got a case for it.

So the software and internal hardware are wonderful. Google needs to fire their "make it pretty team". 90% of users get a case instantly making the pretty backing useless. They also get screen protectors because the factory screen is fragile. Google must start building a phone that actually works for real people. We drop phones and get them wet often. Make sure to fix the physical attributes of the phone first. Also the camera bar on the back isn't smart. The phone sits on the camera and can get scratches on the actual camera lenses. That makes this super powerful camera take poor quality pictures because the glass it's looking through is scratched. I love pixel phones this is my 4th one. Please Google start building a phone that doesn't need a case or screen protector because it's durable on its own! Otherwise I like the phone a lot.

It's an awesome phone. Pictures are amazing. Only dislike is it doesn't have facial recognition unlock like the Pixel 4. I've had every Pixel ever made and I liked the facial recognition unlocking feature. Google go back to that and the phone would be flawless.
