Does anyone who cares really have a phone for 4 years. Saying that glad they are doing it as at least you can hand them down to family members and know they are secure.

You just answered your own question.

Who doesn't want their money to go further.

That's what was hoped for at the very least. Glad it's happening.

I think because of Apple, which is very welcome.

Apple have an event the day before Pixel event and Samsung have an event the day fater where they will likely announce S21FE and other stuff. This is the worst case scenario for Google. The FE will undercut the Pixel 6 price I have no doubt, and Apple may well toot some new Airpods or link to the iPhone 13 in some way too so whatever Google do, even if they announce a new Chromebook, Apple have their bent over on that front anyway with their marketing praising the most powerful laptop of all laptops etc.

Will be an interesting few days for sure.

Google know this, so I'm hoping there will be a good launch offer!

What colours are we going for?

I'm contemplating the gold as its fancy but may take the silver as a safe and more neutral choice. I feel the black is a little too bland.

I'll be going the black black+ grey combo I think I was tempted by the gold but I think the black looks nicer

Always picked black when possible but think I'll try something else. Considering the pink one for the normal 6. I'll probably slap on a black case over it though (I'm clumsy with my phones).

No idea but probably something a bit more fun than just black. I'll probably keep it without a day a case too.

Indeed a case is always there to cover up the extravagant colour choice if need be.

I'll look into skins this time too, possibly navy blue leather esq to contrast that gold trim.

Only a weekend to go now till its official!

I went with white when I bought my 3 XL and a translucent case. Assuming the price is right, I'll probably go the same route again.

So would people still say it’s worth getting a pair of Buds 2 as opposed to the A Series?

Can't comment on the Buds2 but the Buds A series are amazing for me, for both calls and music.

They also stick like glue when I am running.

Really impressive!

My thoughts are they would be the free gift that comes with the pixel.

In Germany the offer will be Bose headphones

As sexy as the 6 and 6 Pro are, that new Pixel stand is proper fugly!

Is that case for the white model actually white or transparent/clear?

Looks like a frost type case to me.

I'm swaying towards the pro as I prefer a larger screen.

Going to see what the launch offer and price are first. I suspect it's going to be unreasonably priced so might wait to see what Nokia have up their sleeve as rumour has it they have a new flagship SD 8xx based to launch soon and that will also be a clean android experience.
