Pixel 6 – 5G Android Phone - Unlocked Smartphone with Wide and Ultrawide Lens - 128GB - Stormy Black

Despite the initial negative buzz surrounding the Google Pixel 6, I took the leap and purchased this smartphone, and I'm thrilled with my decision. The Pixel 6 is an incredible device that offers remarkable value for the price. Due to the device's rocky launch, its price has been lowered, making it even more attractive. Let me assure you that this phone performs flawlessly. I've been using it for several months now, and it has never let me down. The battery life is impressive, easily lasting me a couple of days depending on my use. The overall speed and performance are exceptional, and the software is top-notch. The camera is a standout feature, capturing stunning photos and videos. Additionally, the ample storage of the 256GB version is more than sufficient for my needs. While some people have complained about the fingerprint reader, I find it to be a minor inconvenience. It may take a fraction of a second longer than flagship phones, but it quickly becomes second nature. As a power user who enjoys customization, I appreciate the versatility of the Pixel 6. It handles demanding tasks and even some gaming with ease. For the price, I couldn't find a better smartphone on the market. It's truly a hidden gem.

I have a Pixel 6a phone, and I've been in love with it, especially after a lot of the updates this year. My wife was looking for an upgraded phone herself so I had been perusing around the Pixel options. She wanted something a little bit larger than my phone, so I had been looking at the Pixel 6. If you love the 6a, the 6 should treat you pretty well also, it's a very similar phone, just a bit larger, and does actually have some improvements in smoothness during use, as well as a really nice upgraded camera. All in all, we've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's great. Fast processing, I love a lot of the general Pixel features that you don't see on normal phones, e-sim capabilities, and transferring the old phone info and settings was like 80% effective just on plugging the old one into the new and hitting transfer. The photos are fantastic and the whole system is just fast. There are additional benefits like adaptive charging to keep your battery life stable, and a lot of the editing/filtering capabilities through Google Photos that you don't get with other phones. This is also her first upgrade to a non-budget smartphone and we both feel this is a fantastic choice and high performance phone, especially for the price. Highly recommended!

This is a great phone but the setup was a difficult process for me with Sprint/T-Mobile. This is my first Google phone and I love that it has no carrier specific bloatware. To get things started I transferred the photos and apps across from my old LG V30 using the cable provided. The process kept timing out when I was asked to select a USB transfer option. I eventually got it to work using a different cable. I have no idea if this was luck or a faulty google cable. I then called Sprint/T-Mobile and was over 120 minutes trying to get the Pixel 6 to activate. They could not get the phone to work and transferred me 4 times. I was told that the phone was not compatible with the sprint system, I was told I would have to go to a Sprint store . I was upsold all kinds of services and devices I had no interest in. Basically anything to get me off the phone if I wouldn't sign up for a higher priced service. I persevered (kept asking for a supervisor) and eventually found someone who was confident in what they were doing. Instead of reading from a script, I knew this guy understood the phone. I had a spare Sprint/T-Mobile sim on hand and this was the method that successfully activated the phone. The e-sim method would not work. I recommend you ask Sprint/T-Mobile to send you a free sim kit prior to activating over the phone. Here are a few things that may be helpful after activation. You will need to hold both the power and volume-up buttons to access power functions. The magic eraser function would not work for me until I updated the google photos app. Remember you will have to login to all your apps again after initial setup. Swipe up an inch to minimize an app. You can take a screenshot there also. Swipe up 4 inches and hold to see all running apps. You can flick them off individually or go all the way to the left and hit clear all. Hold down anywhere in free space on the home screen and hit home settings . Here you can turn off annoying suggestions the constantly running Google News App. Hopefully these suggestions will save you some of the time I wasted.

I upgraded from the pixel 4a reluctantly. The only reason I upgraded was the charging port on my 4a was worn, and I picked this model specifically for the wireless charging capabilities. That being said, I do have a few personal preferences that I did like about the 4a vs the 6 Pros: -battery life improves over time as it learns your schedule -wireless charging makes worn charger ports a thing of the past -seamless transfer of old phone with no learning curve -one of the best values on the market for the phone -google corrected the issue with the 4a's hotspot on straight talks network -water resistant (I have no issues taking this phone into the shower with me if I feel like it) -the pixel navigation is similar enough to ios to make it easy for new android users to feel at home while not being different enough to turn off typical android users cons: -Phone is a little large (debatable, but noticeable from the 4a) -fingerprint reader is a little slow (4a did it better) -gets warm (or at least it used to a few updates ago, haven't noticed this recently) (Update 4/18/24) I've had this phone going on 2 years, and it still feels like a new phone. Battery life is just as good as when I got it, and I feel like most of the issues I had were ironed out over time with updates. I don't feel pressured to upgrade phones, as this one is still running great

I purchased this phone for my wife about 2 years ago and it has been a very good phone. It's been very reliable, but after a couple of years, the battery is starting to fade. The fingerprint reader did take a while to get right, just had to provide it with lots of data. The camera is excellent, along with the screen. The phone is pretty heavy, at least when compared to my 6a, but then again it is a bigger phone. It does have a case on it, it needs to, my wife drops it about once a week, but it has never suffered damage. All in all a great phone.

This has a big chance of not being compatible with cricket wireless. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and it all depends (from what I can tell from my research) on the IEMI number that comes on the device. Here's what I understand after trying to get this to work with my cricket wireless plan. This is supposed to be compatible with cricket wireless. In fact, cricket wireless says that google pixel six IS compatible. But for whatever reason, if you happen to get the wrong IEMI number (from what I understand cricket or Google has not entered these particular numbers into their system.) it recognizes the device as incompatible. AND IT WILL SUSPEND YOUR NUMBER IF YOU ATTEMPT TO PUT YOUR SIM CARD INTO THE PHONE. Meaning you will have to go to a cricket location to get an associate to unsuspend your phone number. That's right, if you put your cricket sim card in this phone (and other Google pixel phones for that matter. From Google pixel 4a and up) your phone number will not work if you put the sim card back in your old phone. When you try to make a call, cricket will tell you you need to pay your phone bill even though it's already paid. Very frustrating. Cricket can't make the phone compatible. They'll tell you to contact Google. When I contacted Google they tried to tell me that the particular device that I ordered from Amazon was actually used or refurbished. And that the previous owner had suspended the device. Which is not actually possible because I received the brand new device, sealed. But they tried to put the blame on Amazon. Other people who have had this same issue after ordering directly from Google said that google told them to keep returning the product until they found the device with a IEMI number that worked. One person had to return their new device FOUR TIMES before they finally received a device that was compatible. Google says they cannot control what IEMI number you get when you order one of their phones. I was able to return my phone for a refund from Amazon, and I am planning to order directly from Google in the future until I get a working device, because I really want the phone. However this return process is taking a lot longer than usual and I think it's because of the higher price range. I returned the phone over a week ago. And my shipping information says it arrived a week ago and still no refund. It doesn't even say on Amazon that it's arrived. I'm supposed to wait at least 30 days for this process. So it's going to be a while before I can even try again for a phone that works. The thing that really sucks is that this is an issue with with all the Google pixel phones since pixel 4a was released. So any google pixel made after 4a is going to have the same bad IEMI numbers. If you have cricket wireless just be prepared for this roller coaster ride. Unless of course you're lucky and it just happens to work. If you want to learn more about this issue with cricket you can google "unlocked Google pixel not working with cricket wireless" and if you do order one I recommend ordering directly from Google to avoid the headache of adding another business to the mix... for the other companies to say "it's their fault, not ours" because they will try to do that just to not deal with the issue. Even though this is a known issue. It's a confusing process that nobody wants to deal with. Also I did find a site that claims to be cricket wireless that carries the Google pixels and is selling it. However I was unable to confirm or deny whether this site is actually legit. I plan to ask cricket directly next time I'm in the area... but even if they do confirm there is still no guarantee the devices are optimal for cricket and they may just be selling the regular unlocked devices. So please don't order there unless you're 100% sure it's legit and the device will work. I think it's really better to just be safe and order directly from Google! Sorry for the bad news cricket users.

I have the Pixel 6 for a few months now and I'm generally pleased with the purchase. Very little bloatware apps (that can be deleted or disabled). It's very responsive. Multi-Tasking is good. Google Assistant works well. Battery is good, I get all day usage with the phone. I was more a power user when I had my Note 3 but I'm not on my phone as much now. Coming from a Samsung Note 3 being 8-9 years old now I've been use to some features I miss like swiping to call or text and a very detailed call history screen. There's also not enough short basic notification sounds that can be used. FINGERPRINT SCANNER Is ok just ok. Coming from a Note 3 it's definitely a step up in unlocking your phone but having to hold it for a long period to scan your finger or retrying 2-3 times before you get to unlock your phone makes it take just as long or longer than inputting a 4 digit pin. CAMERA Camera is great, I'm not a big picture person, generally point and shoot and expect to be given the best possible pic for the scene (which I usually get). Videos are the same great quality as a point and shoot since I haven't played with the settings extensively so take that as you will. Most of my videos consists of taking persons training in a Boxing gym and the quality is good (I usually shoot in 1080p because I have the 128gb version to save space). $600 you can't go wrong. Best value for the price.

I have waited for months to make this review. I don't always give reviews but just have to do this because I read other people's reviews before buying this phone. So, it would be wise for me to write mine so it would help others make good decision too. I will start with the problems others pointed out. The first is Finger Print. While Installing the phone, the phone would need samples of different parts of your finger so that any part of that particular finger would be able to open your phone. I think a lot of people that complained about the difficulty in finger printing did not fully understand this. They also complained about the phone being hot after prolonged use. This is absolutely true. The phone gets hot sometimes and usually gives you a warning that the phone's temperature is high and may not function optimally as expected. As far as I know this to me is the major problem of the phone. Now to the good part. The Phone's Camera quality is top notch. Simply amazing. I thought I was ugly but changed my opinion since I started taking pictures with this phone. The battery life is quite okay. for heavy users, the phone lasts for days when fully charged. If you are confused of the phone to use. You should try this, I bet you won't regret it.

Llevo casi un mes con el dispositivo, Llegó en perfecto estado pero con una SIMCard de Verizon, aunque está DESBLOQUEADO para cualquier compañía en México. El celular funciona a la perfección, es rápido y tiene una cámara espectacular es con lo que estoy más satisfecho, también la pantalla aunque a mí gusto falta brillo máximo es correcta y los vídeos se ven muy bien en máxima calidad. La batería dura más de un día y las veces que he dado un uso más rudo siempre me llega al día. El software es una maravilla hace que todo sea fluido y tener a Android nativo, para mí, es una de las mejores experiencias. Puntos negativos: Pantalla, falta algo de brillo Fluidez en juegos, no es un dispositivo diseñado para el gaming Garantía en México, al no tener distribución oficial en México, la garantía es complicada aquí. Sonido, aunque es muy claro y nítido a veces es muy bajo. EDIT: Llevo más de 7 meses con el dispositivo y me sigue pareciendo una maravilla, la pantalla está perfecta, muy buena calidad de color y siempre diré que los pixel son de las mejores (si no la mejor) en la sección Android aunque no tenga mucha compatibilidad con redes sociales sigue teniendo una cámara espectacular, muy buena calidad y excelente precio, lo recomiendo ampliamente para este año y seguramente seguirá siendo una buena opción en 2024

Google Pixel6は、現在は7が出て型落ちとなっているところもありますが、7aと6が価格が一緒くらいだったのでこちらを選びました。 電池持ちも最高です（前のはもうヘタってたましたが…） ただし、PixelではGoogle fitで歩数計が使えないバグが発生している模様です。

Had this for about two months now and is a great phone. Had a oneplus 6T before this and found this to be an easy transition. My own mistake was to install a screen protector which made the fingerprint sensor near impossible to use. Phone has great signal when I popped in my T mobile sim for a recent road trip to USA . Minimal signal loss and 5g for most of the trip.

The Google Pixel 6 is a flagship phone that offers a lot of value for its price. It has a unique and attractive design, a powerful and custom-made processor, and an impressive camera system. It also runs on the latest Android 13 OS, which is fast, smooth, and secure. The phone has a 6.4-inch OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 1080 x 2340 resolution. The screen is bright, sharp, and colorful, and it adapts to the ambient light and the content. The screen also has a hole-punch cutout for the 8MP selfie camera, which can take wide-angle shots and supports face unlock. The phone's back is made of glass and has a matte finish that resists fingerprints. The most distinctive feature of the phone is the camera bar, which houses the 50MP main camera and the 12MP ultra-wide camera. The camera bar also has a metal accent that contrasts with the color of the phone. The phone comes in three colors: Stormy Black, Sorta Seafoam, and Kinda Coral[^1^][1]. The phone's performance is powered by the Google Tensor processor, which is the first chip designed by Google for Pixel phones. The processor is optimized for AI and machine learning tasks, such as image processing, language translation, and voice recognition. The processor also works with the Titan M2 security chip, which protects the phone from malware and hackers. The phone has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which are enough for most users. The phone's camera is one of the best in the market, thanks to the Google Tensor processor and the software features. The main camera has a large sensor that captures more light and detail, especially in low-light situations. The ultra-wide camera has a 114-degree field of view, which is great for landscapes and group shots. The phone also has a 4x optical zoom and a 7x digital zoom, which are decent but not outstanding. The phone's camera has many modes and features that enhance the photos and videos, such as Night Sight, Portrait Mode, Magic Eraser, Motion Mode, and Cinematic Pan. The phone can also record 4K videos at 60fps, and 1080p videos at 240fps. The phone's camera can also recognize and translate text, identify objects, and suggest actions, thanks to the Google Lens feature. The phone's battery is 4614mAh, which can last for a full day of moderate use. The phone supports fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging. The phone can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes with the 30W adapter, which is sold separately. The phone can also charge other devices, such as earbuds or smartwatches, by placing them on the back of the phone. The phone's software is Android 13, which is the latest and most advanced version of the OS. The software is clean, smooth, and intuitive, and it has many features that make the phone smarter and more helpful. For example, the phone has a Live Translate feature, which can translate speech and text in real time, even without an internet connection. The phone also has a Hold for Me feature, which can wait on hold for you when you call a customer service line. The phone also has a Personal Safety feature, which can detect car crashes, falls, or emergencies, and alert your contacts or emergency services. The phone's connectivity is also excellent, as it supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, and eSIM. The phone can connect to the fastest and most reliable networks, and it can also share its 5G connection with other devices. The phone also has a dual SIM feature, which allows you to use two different phone numbers or carriers on the same phone. The phone's drawbacks are minor, but they are worth mentioning. The phone does not have a microSD card slot, which means you cannot expand the storage. The phone also does not have a headphone jack, which means you have to use wireless earbuds or an adapter. The phone also does not have a fingerprint scanner, which means you have to use face unlock or a PIN code. The phone also does not have a water resistance rating, which means it may not survive a splash or a dunk. I think the Google Pixel 6 is a fantastic phone that offers a lot of value for its price. It has a unique and attractive design, a powerful and custom-made processor, and an impressive camera system. It also runs on the latest Android 13 OS, which is fast, smooth, and secure. It has some minor drawbacks, but they are not deal-breakers. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars rating.

Condición: Nuevo Vendedor: no me acuerdo La verdad que fue una excelente compra este Pixel 6, tenía mis dudas si en verdad era un celular nuevo pero me sorprendió cuando recibí el producto. Venía en su caja original de Google, sellado, con mica protectora de la pantalla y los accesorios originales. Ya llevo 3 meses de uso continuo con el celular y no me ha presentado ningún problema y todo va muy fluido; la cámara funciona bastante bien aunque en lugares más obscuros o sin tanta luz puede parecer que se ve "borroso", pero es porque el sensor es de pocos Píxeles. El software es el que hace toda la "magia" de la edición y lo hace perfecto. La batería también me ha durado bastante; un uso normal si llega a durar todo el día. No lo recomiendo para Juegos. En resumen es una compra 10/10. A este precio, no vas a encontrar algo mejor y nuevo.
