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.

True.Tho many people are getting quoted $300 for the 3A for this one which I would not have expected. Maybe I should trade into this one and then try go get the $300 credit to trade up to the Pixel 7, 7A, or 7 Pro in the future 😂
To be fair, thats what I am thinking. Get a 6A for 150$ (50$ if you consider the buds cost) and then trade in 6A next year for 7A for like 150 ish again. 😂

Quote from deshwasi :
depends on how google grades it. crack screen vs burn-in is diff parts issue.
it says 'Is the phone free of cracks and does the screen work properly?'

so i assume burn in just means the screen doesnt work properly.

Quote from xllbenllx :
what about tax, Tofu
Hi. I made sure to specifically state, "without sales tax" in my post. I figured it wouldn't make much sense to include sales tax for my publicly-posted comment because sales tax varies from location to location. (In my personal records, I did include sales tax.) The sales tax is on top of $449, if you want to calculate for your own area.

I hope this helps,
Tofu Vic

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
How did you do that ? I put in my old 3XL and it only gave me $110

What do you mean "declining"

If your discover is linked to paypal, you link google to paypal, and then select your discover card as payment - it does the 5% back automatically
Payment declined when using paypal method that has discover card linked.

my credit card company canceled the transaction since I didn't respond fast enough to their fraud protection query. Order looks good at google store and I dont want it canceled. Will google store re-run the transaction on their own? or call them and risk having them charge me twice ?

Has anyone ever had any success with getting an extra line charged waived with T-Mobile? I've got 4 lines with them and would really prefer to use their free-after-billing-credits offer...but I don't need/want an extra line at $10 a month.

3A trade-in is $300 while 3XL is $110.

Looks like google is targeting the A models for this trade-in program.

Quote from rgadowski :
My suggestion is to wait. Google creates incredible hype just so they can fail by delivering a device that doesn't even come close to the promised performance. I fell for the 6 pro and it was the most horrible experience ever. The fingerprint reader, the front camera and many more issues.

The pixel 2 xl is the best phone they've ever had.
I just got the 6 Pro for $682+tax including the Pixel case during Prime Days and I love it!....I've had no issues whatsoever, other than it doesn't charge much faster than the 4a 5G I upgraded from.
