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.

Most newer phones do not come with a charger. You can use one of your old ones, or buy a new one on ebay for $5-10.

I was out when UPS tried to deliver yesterday and now UPS says to pick it up at an auto parts store 5 miles away. Is that allowed? I signed up for my ups choice to try to change it but dont see an option to redeliver to my house.
Meanwhile my wife's 6A is arriving later today.

I just plan on using my 3a charger. Maybe slow charging will be better for the battery.

They both have the same 18w charging speed.

They did it whether allowed or not, so now it's allowed.

They should give you a credit that's pretty unacceptable. You preordered and release day was last Thursday. At this point you've basically been left out.
Quote from mbk311 :
Mine still says it hasn't shipped either but the kit came in today's mail. If you have USPS Informed delivery it showed up in my "Packages Coming Soon" on Saturday as coming from "VISION DIRECT" in INDIANAPOLIS ,IN
Quote from brc81 :
My wife's order finally shipped tonight. She got the tracking email at 8:42PM EST.
It's past seven days now and I still haven't received the trade-in kit nor any tracking for it. This is my first trade in with Google and so far, Google is making sure I'm already having a good experience with their service.

I guess I gotta contact them myself. Can't make things easy for me can they?

I have placed my order for pixel 6a on the 21st and i have received my phone on the 27 but i still haven't received my trade in kit. Did you guys receive yours? Why is it taking so long?
I haven't received mine either. No tracking, nada. I received the trade in confirmation along with the original order, so they are supposed to send the kit to me.

I wish FedEx did that to my phone. They're supposed to deliver to a pick up hub on the 29th. On the 29th the status said it's tendered to my local FedEx onsite facility, but no pick up email yet. The next day the scheduled delivery date changed to August 1st. Today the status is pending....I called FedEx only to be told to wait...🥺🥺🥺

Does it say anywhere in the order confirmation email or order details page about the trade in? I dont see anything anywhere about the trade in for some reason. I did do the trade in while buying it though.
