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.

If this is like the 3a deal from 2019, I doubt it will come back. However, if you're on TMO, there's a good chance that they will have a really good trade in deal (prob will require magenta max/ultra/magnum/type R, etc.) when quarterlies need to look good. Traded in my pixel 2 for a 4a 5g

If anyone has received a 6a yet, can you confirm whether or not there is a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter included in the box? I bought a 2-pack but need a third, if one is in the box then I'm good to go.

Probably not the right place to ask but maybe someone here knows. I am a life long Android user, last one was the Pixel 3a, then received an iphone and tried it out for a couple of months. Didnt like it, switching back to Pixel esp with the nice trade in offer. Phone comes today per UPS.

My problem are my Whatsapp messages. When I switched from Android to Iphone I lost the messages, though the group subjects were still there. I read that when I switch back to Android it would automatically pull the Whatsapp messages from the Iphone during setup, but is there a way to merge those with the older Pixel 3a messages? I had auto backup turned on for those and the backup file is on my Google Drive... Anyone here knows before I head over to XDA? Smilie

The wife and I both pre-ordered this on Amazon in our different accounts, and both are expected delivery Monday. One has already shipped and one hasn't. Yet, if you now go to the Amazon page, it says it can be delivered tomorrow if I order right now.

Annoying to say the least.

Which deal was that? I got my 3a from best buy through Sprint for $210. Just submitted a trade in for this deal, for $295 making it effectively free+

It was in 2020 (I think around mothers day) when they were giving away free lines, but had 4a 5g for free if you traded in a pixel 2 and up.

I got the 3a when it launched and you got a good deal if you traded in iPhone 6

With the sprint merger, maybe there's less of a rush to get more subs (TMO is now #2 in size). But I've been pleasantly surprised by phone deals for several years now.

Free note 8 x 2
Free 4a 5g with trade in

Verizon did a deal where you could trade in ANY phone for $300 towards a new phone with service. Lots of SDer's purchased crap phones, traded in for 5 lines and $1500 worth of iPhones and cancelled the next day, flipping the unused phones for cash.
Isnt bill credits and good only verizon users or any one can buy and cancel?

Agree. I would not be surprised to see this from T-Mo or Costco (via T-Mo) in November for "Free" after 24/mo's of credits and trade in. That is also how I got my 3a in 2019 from T-Mo after trading in my original Pixel phone.
