Google Pixel 6/6 Pro

[LadFromWales]

The speakers don't sound balanced when playing music. The bottom one sounds louder, but it's not terrible. It'll certainly be better than the under screen speaker on the P5.

My Xperia 5ii speakers sound like they are working together and produce a respectable stereo image, if you hold the phone close to your face. But it does have two front firing speakers, whereas the P6P has a small slit on the front for the left speaker, and an opening on the bottom of the phone for the right.

I'm loving the pro so far, although lastpass doesn't seem to work as well as I'd like.

Interesting to see that he had really average battery life!

That's what I feel like I'm experiencing at the moment, certainly not as good as my 5, but... you have to give it a good few days to learn and optimise, so we'll see I guess

I got that yesterday. Came with the new security patch. On the pro.

I didn't see much if any difference in camera performance.

Did you get a separate camera patch today, about 300Mb?

Sorry, the reply is late. been busy with work.
No it's not that one. its the one below

And the matching cable

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B093GH41F1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I did a lot of research about that charger. it is really important if you go for one of those new gan chargers you buy one of the newer cables. So i just bit the bullet and bought it at the same time.

The chargers are hard to get hold of in the UK. i had to watch it like a hawk. when i originally ordered my charger it had currently out of stock due back in 1-month delivery date, But i took a gamble and ordered it anyhow, it was back in stock within 3 days.

Yes, it was a lot of money granted. just under £70 for the both but they both should last a long time. Good named brand ect.

Thanks for sharing, I've added to my wishlist for future reference.

I've got that already by the looks of it

So we're on the same version now. I did wonder if P6 was behind by a bit. I'm annoyed that I can't see the change log.

Pro or non pro? Nothing here on non pro

Pro and my build version matches the updated one listed.

Awaiting arrival of pixel 6 today having been with Samsung since galaxy s2 days.
First unlocked phone as well.
Looking for bit of advice.
On other phones i know when going into settings and then about phone, it normally shows your phone number or it shows unknown. On many occasions it shows a number different from that which you are now using. I have read that when buying a contract phone that this is set to be the number allocated to your phone by network when phone first sent to you.
I have bought my pixel from carphone warehouse with unlimited SIM from id mobile and will port over my existing number.
I am curious, does your newly received unlocked phone show on settings that your number is "unknown" or does it pick up and store the number from the first sim card you insert.
Can someone please check their about phone details in settings and see if it now shows a stored number and if so, is it your correct number.
See results from Google search.

MKBHD's finally dropped his review.

Interesting thoughts on the camera. Especially when he says the iPhone is 9/10 all the time, compared to the pixels 7-10/10. Looking forward to testing it out myself today.

Thank you, es wondering if i put my new sim card in first that it might set the phone to show a number that i will change when port over is complete. Looks like it will remain at unknown which is preferable to a wrong number showing. Thank you.

MKBHD is an apple fan boy. So take what he says with a large pinch of salt.

He used to be android. I felt it was quite a balanced review.

Agreed. Out of the big YouTubers he's very balanced.v

 

[deardevildude]
