There's seems to be inconsistency with this, I'm not sure if it's worth the risk though as it's more than I'd spend on a good spec graphics card!

If you live or work in a weak signal area then forget about it.

Pretty much this. In weak signal areas the pixel 6 modem struggles a bit.

Signal is pretty good here, so no problems for me.

Basically yeah at home my signal strength is -120 Dbm at work -113 Dbm. Signal is horrendous.

Thanks. I was watching this video that had a few concerns for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ7A1C_HzEE

Mines got as many problems as my 6 pro had. None.

Plenty of software updates since then.

Did the updates fully fix things? I'm wondering if I should wait for the Pixel 7 Pro, but will the price be horrific?

£849 for the 128gb same as the 6 pro on release. It's been available for a couple of weeks.

Yes fixed pretty much everything but the signal strength in weak areas.

Go for the 7 Pro. But you're to late for the free watch now.

Unfortunately, the Pro 7 isn't available to me just yet. The low light performance looked very poor with the Pro 6, did any of the software updates fix that as it did seem quite bad?

Have they seriously not fixed the weak modem?

To be honest, this is Google, so I'm not entirely surprised

I'm talking here on the 6 Pro

Ah, sorry, got you.
Did you keep the 7pro? Or sticking with the 6pro?

ninjag · 18 Oct 2022 at 12:24

Looks like the Pixel 7 Pro is available for me so now need to look into that!

Sticking with the 6 Pro mate. The 7 was more of a fix for the 6. Which is fine but not enough reason to upgrade.

I will more than likely get the 8 Pro and 2nd gen watch.

Sounds a better plan

I'll probably hold out until the pixel 9pro

Ooooh great new 'feature' on my P6 - some calls go straight to VM, even without it showing that a call is ringing! Just missed a call from the Doctor because of this - notice a bunch of times and thought it was me; but I have no DND aetti gs on, nor that face down thing enabled.

Bloody phone!

oh my.....although I hummed and hawed for a while as well before choosing the 7 Pro, and I don't even pay for it (work contract) lol But I still wanted it to be the right phone for me. So far I've been loving it.
