Just bought a used P6. Per Accubattery getting 11hrs SOT 60hz 5G off media and coms use case and just getting A14 update. When the new Androids stop in October there's a ton of custom ROMs and 2 more years of security if staying with stock.
It's not gonna stop in October the pixel 6 will get A15 and two years of security updates.
@@katinasoutherland7693so it’s gonna stop after a15. Security updates are irrelevant
@@katinasoutherland7693I guess you didn't read the comment properly.
I just love the design of pixel 6. The all glass visor looks way more premium than 7 and 8.
Agreed 💯
I have it. It's still an awesome phone after 2 and a half years. It's not that much different then the 8
On the Pixel 6, it was 3 OS updates and 5 years of security updates, meaning it’ll be supported until 2026, not 2024 which is the last OS update. So you could buy it at a reduced price today and still be good for 2-3 more years if you wanted to buy a premium Pixel on a budget. I’m actually considering it myself because I’m tired of iOS and I always felt like the Pixel 6 had the best design of any Pixel phone with the two tone colors on the back. These can be found for around $200 and that’s a bargain for the support still left in it and the features that you receive.
Thanks, this really helped a lot❤️
Not just the official support. The Pixel phones are the go-to test mules for developers and all will be getting custom-ROM supports way beyond their official EOL. My last phone was a Google Pixel 3 which received its last official OS update in 2021, but I used it a year beyond EOL running LineageOS. Even the original Pixel is still getting the latest LineageOS support 5 years after its official EOL.
It will be supported with security updates until July 1 2027
The 6 improved a lot over the last year, last year I could not do a Skype video call on 4G because of the heating issues but that got much better
Are you still facing heating issues, I am thinking of buying pixel 6 should I go for it or not.
Oh, how time flies? It's now in a "Is it still good? review.
Welcome back, Mike! Dope video. I swear if I wasn’t such a techie, I’d still be using the Pixel 6 for sure
thanks a lot Ray! the Pixel 6 is definitely one of my most favorite Pixel models.
I love my 6 pro. The only thing is I wish it had the zoom of the galaxy
Same. The Pixel 9 pro is the best combination: three cameras but the non-Pro size.
Getting my pixel 6 tomorrow mainly because I'm on a budget and seems ok to me... Once I can play warzone mobile when it comes out I'm good 😅😂
Just curious if you like your new pixel? I'm a pixel fan 💯 adore the brand.
@@katinasoutherland7693 so the place i was getting it at called and said they sold out 😕 so I got a Z flip 3 instead... And I love it 😁 but it gets really hot when playing games. The only thing I don't like is the battery but you can save a lot if you drop the 120hz to 60hz
@@katinasoutherland7693 I like it a lot
Month later now, how's the warzone looking?
I need to know too
My pixel 6 is coming tomorrow. The battery on my pixel 4a fried itself and while I could replace it, I figured it was probably time for an upgrade. Hopefully it can run warzone, cause the 4a can't run it, and it struggles to even run COD mobile.
Same in my case too !! The Pixel 4a battery was swollen and then when I replaced the battery, the phone died for forever, I too ordered a Pixel 6 today and waiting for it's delivery
My Pixel 6's SOT is now 8 hours after the July update. I'm not sure what suddenly happened to my 2.5-year-old phone.😂😂😂 I never used to get over 6 hrs SOT before😅
I prefer Pixel 6 kinda square design over PIxel 7 and 8
Ya Square reminds me of my big TV , round reminds me of iPhone.
Ya I also hate round designs
Great review are you from Greater Manchester by any chance?
I miss the glass visor design, as I'm looking for a 2nd phone , I may just look into a 6, plus they're dirt cheap
true, I wish they'd bring it back.
First!!
It's still a good phone, I WOULD NOT buy it because of the screen brightness. The Pixel 8 has a much brighter screen especially if you work outside
the pixel 8's screen is a massive improvement!
I wouldn't due to it being on the last OS update. But that's just me. It should still work ok for the next 2-3 years. If it does the job, it could be good enough for a lot of individuals.
Big downfall
I just bought my pixel 6 I should get it next week. Im just concerned about performance and battery. Not that I'm expecting the best of the best but good enough
For performance it is more than enough, because at the software level it is the most fluid there is on Android, it has no bugs, it does not have lag or anything like that, the battery lasts almost a day with intensive use, it is my experience, it is a very good phone yes you compare it with its equivalents
@@Qwertyfabian Replying from the pixel 6. Performance is great, camera is great but the battery is just okay. I realized that it's always at 90hz it doesn't switch between 60 and 90 even on the AOD but I'm extremely happy with it nonetheless.
2-3 years of Major software updates is really low especially when a company owns the hardware and the software, I've always wanted a Pixel but other brands are doing a lot better job at enticing buyers.
I still run with the P6 and it's an awesome phone.
Would you recommend buying? I'm on the fence between it and the S21
@@princessazulaofthefirenati5870Same here. Have you bought anything?
How about the finger print sensor?
not the fastest (Pixel 8 is miles better) but it has worked decently in my experience.
Better than pixel 6? Because lot of problem with finger print in pixel 6 and 6 pro.
I've had no issues
@@sammckenzie6760 Same here my Fingerprintsensor ist very fast
It's hit and miss. Works great sometimes, other it's back to the keypad. Nowhere near as good as Xiaomi or Realme I've had, but it's tolerable. It's hard to believe Google can't get this right....
Brooo that dead space game is nowhere to be found on the playstore, how did you get it?. Nice review, tho.
thanks for watching! as for the game I had to hunt down an .apk file as it's been a while since it was discontinued for Android.
Working in a remote area, does it catch good amount of signals?
I wonder the same thing. I would assume it’s pretty good.
Can someone pls tell me the price actually?
Edit: thank you for answering 😊
Watching this on my pixel 6 lol
How's your battery life
pretty good tbf. Lasts me pretty much all day@@whysoserious4464
ty for the video
The pre-8 Tensor phones will receive 5 years of security updates.
Ime not downloading games on my phone anymore just wares your battery life, just using it for the net .i had the pixal 4 before but tne pixal 6 is cool.
bro Should i update in Android 14 is there any battery issue after update?
Are you still facing heating issues, I am thinking of buying pixel 6 should I go for it or not.
@@ahsanullah6966 yes there is some heating issue bro and charging also slow but phone is excellent like cameras software display etc .
How does the pixel 6 hold up when using it for basic stuff like social media, streaming Spotify, or streaming short videos on social media? Looking to buy one for my partner but he doesn't play games on his phone or use it for anything like that, just basic stuff like camera, social media, messaging, and music. Could he expect any lag there when using it? His last few phones have been pretty basic and the lag when typing or trying to use apps has been driving him mad so don't want to get him another phone with this issue...
For social media app, web browsing, spotify I personally haven't experienced any performance breaking issues. Some people have complained about Twitter stuttering when scrolling, but other than that it seems mostly fine.
might upgrade from my xr
How is the xr?
@@AbdullahKhan-dg3yw ah I just upgraded to an s21 today😅
@@lukeisatwathow is the camera compared to the xr
wowowow
