Huge fan of the visor look, definitely separates it from other smartphones

I think the pixel 6s capability to condense high contrast image without blowing the image out is amazing, it looks weird on some pictures causing the over the top HDR effect but we're talking about information retention here, a blown out image looks more natural but it has a less fine color gradient to work with, the same effect can be achieved fairly easily in post production since the look is essentially replicating information loss. (Just mess with the contrast and blacks and whites)

He is an outstanding reviewer. Best I know on YouTube. Here he has really picked out what matters whereas other reviews fail to get there. I have bought this phone because of the text processing, hardly mentioned elsewhere. That is the feature that makes this phone so important.

What an incredible review! Detailed research and clear to-the-point delivery and beautiful presentation makes this channel several levels above other tech reviewers!

Nice review. I like your presentation style. I just got my Pixel 6 Pro yesterday and after seeing a number of reviews was prepared for it to feel huge in my hand. I have average sized mitts and it really doesn't seem that large compared to my Pixel 5. Really easy to set up. No complaints so far.

Always look forward to the MKBHD take on new phones and other tech. He is always very clear in explaining features and the tech behind it. I am surprised no reviewer has mentioned the poor video calling quality of this phone. I have the Pixel 6 Pro, and WhatsApp video calling is horrible. Just like the previous commenter, the viewfinder is very noisy in low light - video calling with WhatsApp is just unacceptable (very zoomed in a faded out). There are hundreds of users just like me with same issue and google keep passing the blame to the app developer. Even Google's own Duo app has the issue with a lot of noise. Coming from a Pixel 3XL, this feels like a downgrade. There are some articles online suggesting a fix with the December update, which now has been halted till late January. I don't think I can wait that long, since I will miss my return period.... Always been a fan of the Pixel brand, but this experience has changed my stand. I must add that the phone does produce beautiful pics just like the previous Pixel lines, just don't expect to do live events with the selfie camera

Marques’s intros are getting so good that companies can use them directly as advertisements

As someone who has used the regular pixel 6 for a few weeks now, the battery life is more than sufficient and does not take away from the experience!

Would love to see how the Pixel 6 is now after some updates. Any big differences?

I bought the pixel 6 after watching this, as for the price it just seemed like a no brainer. The biggest drawback seemed like the battery not being much better.

Love pixel and where it's going. I have 3 and 5. There are tons of People that would love to see the new hardware in a smaller form factor. I believe a good sweet spot would be 6.1 or 6.2 for that magic spot option. Which is still a very decent screen size. Good all rounder. Big market.

Thank you for your informative + insightful review. I enjoy hearing your perspective and explanations. Appreciate you sharing about the little details and nuisances.

Even though photos may look a tad too tonemapped sometimes, I bet in the blind photo comparison, average person will pick those vs flat realistic shots

Thanks a lot for this complete and honest review. It seems to me it’s the best review i’ve seen so far, with a very fair-play mind when comparing with iPhone. Great job !

After 3 years I upgraded from the Google Pixel 3 to Google Pixel 6. It's been a few days and i actually really enjoy it. I always love the camera quality but i can see improvement in it. The only downside right now is the finger sensor, it does take a while. As for size, I have to get used to it. Recently google added an emergency SOS feature, honestly very happy about it. Battery life has been very good considering the amount of music I listen to.

Great review sir! Your videos are always so informative and I've come to expect them to be but not in a unappreciative way. I watch a new video and know out of the gate your are going to nail it outta the park. Each review is a new refreshing experience. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Gideon Davidson
Thanks for the honest and thorough review. I'm loving the up to date hardware and clever software features. Really good move on their part and I'd really like to have this as a second phone, just to play with them on.

I think we'll see how the Pixel 6 Pro ages in its screen on time as Google steadily releases updates and optimization on its first in-house designed silicon. I don't mind the lower screen on time, but I agree that it looks extremely lackluster in contrast to Apples chips. Again, we do have to remember that this is it's first silicon. It has potential. Let's see where they go with it.

I've been a fan of the Pixel for a while, getting the first Pixel just after my iPhone 5 died. I'm really hoping their software can catch up; on paper, this looks to be a really good option for an upgrade. Otherwise, I'll stick with my Pixel 3xl. - Perry

honestly the curved screen is enough to make me avoid the pro, great review, you made the choice easy, I'll be making the jump from the Pixel 4, I hope android 12 is nicer on the 6 though, its kind of a disapointing experience on the 4... sadly I think its something I'll have to get used to as its the aesthetical change that I don't like the most :)
