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.

I got my black 6a and white earbuds yesterday.

My wife ordered the sage 6a and dark olive ear buds on 7/24 and it has been sitting at "Prepared to ship" and not yet shipped since 7/27.

Anyone else not receive their order yet?

I ordered on 7/22 and it dispatched 7/25. Ups came earlier than the time window by a lot on Friday so I will have to pick it up Monday afternoon from a UPS access point.

I figured that there would be delays though from selling out inventory. I remember a few people mentioning their shipping dates had changed to early August. What is the expected arrival for her order? You would think that they would update it to the new delivery window. If they haven't maybe they're still expecting to fulfill it in the original window.

Arrival window is listed as Jul 29 – Aug 2 same as mine was. I'm hope it arrives in that window and isn't delayed.

Yes. There was a 40mb update that I downloaded as soon as I set mine up. I manually checked in the settings.
Maybe mine did it then during setup and I missed it. Says up to date when I go to the update screen in settings.

I'm on T-Mobile and had to switch network type from 5G to LTE. For data usage and streaming the phone was unusable when set to 5G. The phone actually shows 5G UC when set to 5G. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and if so, were you able to resolve? Thanks!
Mine shows the same thing, 5g UC. Seems like data is running fine so I just thought that's normal.

5g uc is normal. It just tells you which 5g band you're on.

Anyone having trouble getting Wifi calling to activate? I've tried the online troubleshooting steps and network resets and no luck so far. Was just activated yesterday - so maybe Tracfone/Verizon is the trouble. I seem to remember a 24 hour delay once before with activating Wifi calling..

EDIT: Tracfone Verizon users. Pixel 6a does NOT support Wifi calling on their network! Just confirmed with support. Unbelievable...

You can confirm at https://e911-reg.tracfone.com/

UGH!
