I love voice typing as well. I can't stop using it just because of how well it does it. You can even do emojis with it which is brilliant

Yes, yes you can. Unfortunately they don't work on these forums
Also, no issues with the fingerprint sensor at all. In fact I think it's better than my old mate 20 Pro which required a good firm press on the fingerprint sensor to get it to work most times

Took Vodafone two hours. They needed the EID number, once they had that I didn't even need to scan a code it just worked somehow.

I'm trying to increase the text size on Brave or Chrome but it doesn't change, is this an Android 12 bug? I'm doing it in settings > accessibility > text scaling 125%

Anyone seen a good aramid type case for the p6 yet? Got one on my flip 3 and it's perfect - good protection but very thin and lightweight.

Well up to yet, my experience with my pixel 6 pro is pretty good.
The general smoothness of the phone seems all good, need a case cause it slips about like its covered in lube. And the fingerprint scanner actually seems better than the one on my S20 Ultra, but its weird it lights up bright as all hell when ya do scan ya fingerprint.

You got over the lack of swiping on shortcuts pretty quickly!
I've just gone ahead and installed Nova 7 on my P6P as I fancied making my home screen look less cluttered, as I have done in the past. I stopped using third party launchers with my 5ii as Sony haven't implemented the API for third party launchers to hook into the animations when using gestures so it looked horrid.
I've got swipe up to open another app on all of my dock icons (swipe up on dialer opens duo for example) And a couple of folders on the home screen which run the first app when tapped but open a folder on swipe.
Much cleanerTurned off labels on the home screen too! 5x6 grid both home screen and drawer, and of course disabled single-line labels in the drawer because I can't stand the labels getting cut off!
Oh and double tap to sleep!
My issues, might not have been the same as yours
Still not changed, as I quite like at a glance and the way the icons/keyboard/etc change depending on the background.
Might do down the line,but going to try it for a while first.
I've had more or less a very similar experience. I'm doing this whole post from voice to text and I cannot believe how good it is.
I use the liquid air case it feels like it fits the phone very well and it overlaps the screen. Meaning if there is any drops you would be fully protected, It also feels very nice.
The overall smoothness of the phone is incredible and comparison to my mate 20.
I actually had a huge scare yesterday and dropped my phone with my liquid air case on and the phone bounced like a ball, not a single scratch.

Anyone using the official Google case on their phone?
Any good?
Who's all going without case and screen protector?

I think the problem is, it's the one thing you have to do every time you use your phone, so if it's now 92% success instead of 99% success, that is actually quite a big deal.
I also wonder if some people just have fingers that don't work as well with optical FPS? I had to send a OnePlus back once as it was about 40% accurate, while everyone else said it was fine.

I've managed to get it to make couple of mistakes but very impressed with it overall.

I'm using it and I like it.
I am. Looks pretty good to me. I was concerned the clear one was going to be a hard plastic but it isn't. Provides a nice minimalist overlap across the edges.

I don't think it's about how popular the opinion is, I think it just might not align with others experience. For me the P6 is quicker and smoother, the speaker for phone calls can't not be better... possibly the speakers in general are better, although it's negligible. The camera will likely be negligible too, but the difference is more likely to be apparent when shooting in low light which I've not really done yet. Already the battery has improved to 'okay to good' for me (honestly you can't judge it as quick as you have, there's too much battery learning these days).
The FPS is worse and you could argue from a personal point the size is worse.

Read that wrong then fella , my mistake. Actually missing the Mate 20x's screen size to be honest , gave the UI a less cluttered feeling than the Pro does.
