Pixel 6 owner here. I word of warning.
the reviews stating the slow finger print reader is concerning.
If i can go back in time, I would not buy the pixel 6 because the fingerprint reader is embarrassingly slow and misreads if you change lighting conditions. It's simply awful and makes checking the phone a chore. I hate it. No screen protector issue, not my phone (it was exchanged), and it's a common complaint. If you are coming from a phone that had even an average sensor, this will annoy you to no end.

The Google Tensor chips have such unreliable and poor mobile connections that a significant number of users have to reboot regularly or toggle airplane mode on/off just to get data working. It always happens when i drive. Check reddits pixel subs for more info. It doesn't look like any of those issues will be fixed because they simply aren't fixed in the flagships.
It seems to be an issue when you transition towers, so if you travel a lot or travel through dead zones, it'll happen more frequently. An unacceptable problem most in-studio reviews don't address, but real-world users struggle with, and have been since launch.
warning: This kind of trade in deal came around 1.5 yrs ago for 4a 5g. The say they will respect trade in value if old phone is received within a month of you receiving the new phone. But then they delayed the return pkg . And instead of giving $285 trade in value they gave $15. Everyone had to fight with customer care to get back the money. And they have terrible customer care.
Several reviews of the final product are indicating it's pretty similar to the 6 and 6 Pro. Some early stories and very early (unofficial) hands on videos said it was a faster sensor, but many of the reviews coming out today of the production model ay it's similar in speed. Maybe a hair faster here and there, but not so much as to make a noticeable difference in day-to-day use.

Some are saying it's supposedly better and faster under-display fingerprint reader than the Pixel 6 and 6Pro. Others are saying not so much.

Yes. It's a much better and faster under-display fingerprint reader than the Pixel 6 and 6Pro. Same as what's expected in Pixel 7.
almost feel like downgrading from the 6 to 6A. cant stand the sensor. works okay indoors but when im outdoors its like 5% working.

Just sign up at https://one.google.com and the 10% credit for future Google Store purchase should take effect shortly after. Wait a few mins.

FYI - I was quoted $295 trade-in credit for my pixel 3a with cracked screen at Google 🙂 and got the free pixel buds. feels like a heck of a deal to me!

edit- I purchased unlocked without a Google Fi plan

Pixel 6 was just on sale for $499 and has a larger display, 90hz, more ram, wireless charging, and probably more. This doesn't seem worth it. If the fingerprint scanner is really that bad on the 6 then it seems like it would make more sense to hold out for the 7.

Sorry, my bad. I meant 2TB at $10. Mistyped as 10TB. It's only for a month to get the 10% discount. I wouldn't plan to use it unless you want to keep the subscription.
