6 is @ around 450?

I think Google have the same discount on their store too.

Reckon there will be some even better deals just before the pixel 7 release.

Can't see the 7 being too much different anyway to be honest.

If that's the case, then it's iPhone for me.

I'd sooner have a bug ridden android phone than an iPhone

I'm now experiencing issues with phone calls in that the person on the other end can't hear me. I'm having to disconnect the call and try again. It happens when making and receiving calls. Android Auto also acts up and the phone ends up like a barbecue brick after using it in the car.

This Pixel 6 is by far the worst phone I've ever owned, it struggles with basic functionality. I can't wait to get rid of it.

Damn, same here with calls and other people cant hear me. Not an issue with calls over data.

I used to think that, but then again I used to take for granted that I'd be able to make a phone call with my ..er.. phone.

My Pixel 6 is basically a miniature tablet that can't get a WiFi connection.

I agree with you. Pixel 5 increasingly looking like the last decent phone they came out with which is sad remembering how good the Nexus 5,6 and 6p were.
Feels like they lost the plot with the pixel 4 .... they had fantastic technology but felt the need to ditch it due to the so called "all screen" phone necessity. Ah well we all sell our souls eventually

Partner took delivery of her Pixel 6 over the weekend, so far really likes it, though suffering from poor network issues. She's with ID Mobile (3) and whilst coverage with them in our area is just OK, she's often got no signal at all and was breaking up on the phone over the weekend with about 1 bar of 4G.

Signal seemed better when I swapped my VOXI SIM into it so I think we're just going to send it back and take out another on Vodafone, see how that goes.

Another thing, did anyone else have low battery when they look delivery? She took about 10 minutes setting it up and it was on 1%. I thought new phones were stored with about 60% charge normally?

Apparently Pixel 6 has known signal issues due to the Exynos modem

Definitely the modem is a weak point. Luckily I live in a pretty strong signal area, so doesn't affect me. But when I venture out, it does struggle in some areas my previous phone didn't.

Looks like the Android 13 update has completely ruined battery life for a lot of people.

 

[IvanDobskey]

Android 13 on my pro here and no change to battery.

Same.

 

[tom_e]

Same, battery is unchanged.

 

[Doc1964]

Battery life on my 6 is excellent. Only time i have ever noticed a drop off is when i am in a really poor signal area and it is obviously trying constantly to connect.

 

[AndyCr15]

I think mine is definitely worse with Android 13 on my Pixel 6. I would never previously worry about battery. I've been below 20% for the first time in a long time, since going to 13.

 

[Richie]

Still lasts the same 2 days here for me.

Just installed Android 13. That's a lot of data just to change the 12 to a 13 /s
