Inquiry About Screen Defect on Pixel 6
I recently purchased a brand-new Pixel 6, and I’ve noticed an issue with the screen that is quite concerning. While the defect is not very visible in general use, it becomes particularly noticeable on white backgrounds, such as when reading text in Kindle or Chrome.Specifically, there are several areas on the screen with slightly different coloration, particularly with a reddish tint. Some of these areas are relatively small (about 5mm in diameter), but one is significantly larger (~20mm) and located in the center-top region of the screen, making it quite distracting during reading.I have owned every Pixel model from 1 to 5 and have never encountered this issue before. I would like to confirm whether this is a known defect in this model or an issue with my specific unit. If it is a defect, does it qualify for a replacement?

I like it more than I thought I would.
Takes surprisingly good pictures and I like the user interface.

CRICKET WIRELESS USERS!!
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.

Great affordable phone with few issues
I just came from the iphone 13, very happy with my switch! I can address some things I’ve had issues with to help others on the fence.Bluetooth audio: Very low, I’m using AirPod Pros. And yes I even went into developer settings to try and fix it. I’ll have volume on max and it only sounds like it’s half way. Had to download a third party app, max volume booster, to get the quality I want. That being said now it’s great, the sound sounds great, it was just too quiet.Finger print sensor: I can’t say I have any qualms with it, especially after having to come from a face scanner that doesn’t work well on my skin tone. From having to have a phone scan my face, say it can’t read it, and me having to put in a six digit code to unlock my phone to just putting my thumb on my screen for 0.3 seconds I’m more than happy. A light shines on the screen under your thumb, that may annoy some people but not me.Battery: I appreciate the battery saver and extreme battery saver options. When I went to work my phone was around 60%, I work a 12 hour shift with minimal use on the phone itself but I check for messages and browse Twitter on my breaks. I turned on extreme power save after I hit 20%. After a few hours and my shift ended I had around 11%. Take that for what you will, it’s not so bad but I think I’ll bring a power bank with me just in case or keep a charger in my car for when I can’t reach 100% charge before work.I love the layout, the one UI, the little touches like how an animation plays when I plug my phone in and the swipe left or right on your phone to go back to a previous page. This may be biased as I came from an Apple product and not an Android one, so my praises may not be anything special to the seasoned Android user. But for 600$, I got a phone at a decent weight with a beautiful display and access to all my apps.This will for sure be my main phone for years that’s for sure, or maybe until a pixel 7 comes out whichever comes first.

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 brilloFluidez en juegos, no es un dispositivo diseñado para el gamingGarantía 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。

I am writing this review after 1 week of usage and I hope I don’t have to change it in the future.The phone is just great, for the ones who are thinking of buying Pixel 6 or even Pixel 6 Pro, they know what they are looking at, even though it is expensive here in India due to all import charges.As for the phone, I haven’t faced any issue regarding the software or hardware side as I heard that the December software update was not good so after 1st boot, I updated the software to the latest one so till now, I haven’t encountered any issues. I will suggest that before doing a software update in future first read the reviews of that update and than update.I am not writing about camera or software stuff as you all know what Pixel 6 is famous for. As for the battery life, I was getting almost 1.5 days (take it as 30 – 33 hrs) easily as I am not a power user. For the power user, I think the battery will last for 1 day (not sure though). The speakers are really great and loud, I haven’t heard any other phone speakers around this price range so I can’t tell you guys how they sound compared to other phones, but for me personally, it is great.The buttons are very clicky and will not get pressed easily. The placement of the power button and volume buttons are odd, normally the power button is below the volume buttons but in this case, it’s reverse, it is not a deal-breaker and I got used to it in 3 to 4 days.As for the camera bump, I don’t mind it personally. Even though many are talking about it – it’s not great, the phone is unbalanced and many other things, trust me it’s not a big deal.The phone is really slippery so you have to get a case otherwise it will slip from your hand and if you put your phone inside your pant it will definitely slip from there when you sit. I went for the dbrand Grip Case along with skin, if you can afford it then you should really get one, it’s really great and fits perfectly. As for the screen protector I haven’t found a correct one because the ones officially stated by google are not available in India. I did look for other ones but in reviews, they said after applying those the fingerprint doesn’t work so till now I haven’t applied any screen protector.As for the charger I had to buy the official google charger from Flipkart (why official charger, keep reading). I came from OnePlus 3T to Pixel 6 so I had the OnePlus 30W Dash charger and I thought it will work with Pixel 6 since the voltage and amps are almost identical to the official google pixel charger, but when I connected it, the phone displayed it is connected to the charger but not charging, I tried with other low watt chargers, even a Samsung one, the result was same. I had to charge the phone via USB through my laptop and it was really slow. After this, I searched which charger is compatible with Pixel 6, only 3 compatible chargers are available in India from companies – Anker (a few models in this), Samsung (Travel Adapter), Belkin. Even after finding all this, I had my doubts about all these chargers except Samsung Travel Adapter because they all are imported and had a 100V – 120V rating (many people did say it works in India in reviews, I was still not satisfied). So I contacted google Pixel support regarding which charger should I use with this since the new Google charger is not launched in India, the support person gave the link of the official charger launched in India on Flipkart with 100V – 240V and it supports all Pixel devices with 18W fast charging. It goes with the name like – “Google G1000-IN 18 W”. Also I think that any power adaptor with Power delivery port will do the job as I didn’t had any, and all the compatible chargers for this phone have Power delivery port.I did buy a different Type C to C cable which is a 2m braided cable from Amazon of a company named SYNQE, it works well with the google charger and it supports fast charging also.

The Internet is flooded with how bad this phone is, overheating issues, stuttering issues, pink tint on the screen, connectivity issues, battery issues and what not. I came across numerous videos, posts and articles about how Google pixel 6 is an okayish device and buy only at your risk and if you are a die hard Google fan.I am a fan of Google but not die hard. Still believes iPhones are at their peak of their hardware software optimisation and battery backup along with their excellent camera, but that’s why the higher price. Justified.The pixel 6, didn’t get launched in my country officially but can be purchased online with no further support once you buy it. Pixel 7 was costly for me and pixel 6a 60hz is something I am not okay with (others might be okay with it, I wasn’t so please no offense) and both were launched officially in my country, not pixel 6 and 6 proDay 1I took a leap of faith and bought pixel 6. Got it on 16th October (5 days back) and initial impressions were good. Updated the system and patches, restored my account and all but the first day was horrible. Poor connectivity, it was getting very warm, very quick. Scrolling in the application drawer was not smooth either. Day 1 SOT was 3 hours. I felt people were right, Google made a mistake and that’s why pixel 7 is getting all the praise (it must be a great phone though).Day 2I decided to return it within the windows of the 7 days i have but things started to get better on the 2nd day. The most noticeable difference was the reduced temperature when I held the phone. Everything else was the same more or less. The connectivity issue was still there. The apps were not loading on WiFi but working fine on mobile data. Sometimes the mobile data became useless and i had to go to the WiFi area.Day 3First time I noticed the battery is getting better too. I cancelled my return request and decided to wait till the last day of my return window. The battery SOT was 5 hours at this point. The phone started to feel a bit smoother. Connectivity got better too. I was able to switch from WiFi to mobile data more seamlessly. I don’t know how it happened.Day 4Battery SOT reached 6 hours, minimal heating and phone felt very stable. I figured out the things are falling into their places.Day 5Today is the 5th day and i am typing this post on my Pixel 6. Battery SOT is 7.5-8 hours. The phone is buttery smooth now. Idle battery drain is still on the higher side 17%. No heating or overheating now. Connectivity is absolutely fine now and i live in an area where mobile data signals have moderate strength, not excellent (checked with iPhone, samsung and OnePlus – mobile signal strength is moderate) but i am able to recieve any call, anytime. I send text and get the delivery reports in 2-3 seconds after sending the text. The apps which were not working fine on WiFi on day 2 are working fine at all. And I must say, it’s a very good phone, If not a great one. Not going to return it, and will keep it for the next 4 years at least.TLDR: Pixel 6 is a great device,it just needs more time to adapt everything. Not a phone you can take out of the box and expect it to perform the way it should. Give it a week before you make any decisions.Thanks, I don’t see positive posts about pixel 6 very often, hence this honest experience.
