Maybe the fingerprint works when the stars align. This was the generation of Pixel that made me switch to iPhones.

The Pixel 6, despite being in the "main line" (not an "A" model) and a few generations ahead.. hasn't been the best. Lots of random OS issues that seem to just be a thing with most people. Wireless charging will stop whenever the phone hits a certain temp (100 degrees?) which, in the summer, can be just above ambient temperature.
Just recently, the Pixel line has started to auto-dim once the phone reaches a certain temp (nothing that I would even consider hot -- talking just watching a youtube video or running instagram). The auto-dimming is not indicated anywhere and brightness will show 100% despite it dimming to around 60%. This creates an issue if you do any sort of content editing or posting, as your phone will randomly be 40% dimmer without any warning.. so if you're editing exposure on a photo or video, or posting somewhere, you'll likely end up overexposing it.
These are a couple of the issues. There does not seem to be a way to turn either off, and while I do understand the point of them.. I wouldn't consider any of those temps to be enough to cause warning or a device to auto-protect itself. It's silly when you need to aim a fan at it so that it will charge wirelessly.
To confirm - these aren't weird issues that I'm experiencing just myself, I did a search and apparently these are just how the latest OS works (even on pixel 7). I also don't live in the desert, Arizona or Texas, I live in SoCal in the city. when you can't charge your phone for more than 10 seconds because your house is too warm in the summer? and even overnight it might not get to 100% because the charger is kicking on/off constantly to keep it from warming up? it sucks.
when it does work though, it's nice!
I've had no issues with the fingerprint sensor. Bluetooth, wifi, everything else works great.
For $200, I'd buy it again. But as someone who LOVED the pixel line up until this one.. I am let down by it. I left iPhone for the Pixel (3A XL) and would leave the 6 to go back to iPhone.
I'll probably wait until pixel 8 to upgrade mainly to get a more powerful camera if it has one.

how is the ambient temperature in your house (assuming bc you mentioned overnight) 100 degrees?
i get overheating while wireless charging in the car on a hot day and that happens with ANY PHONE but I don't see how it's normal to have indoor temps of 100 degrees

Right now it's 63 degrees outside and 79 inside
Battery is crap from the start.
I am very confused? Are fake bots the ones posting positive reviews? You can never really tell anymore in 2023. Sigh

Unless someone buys it to ship it to a Thirld World country, I doubt it is representative for anyone in the US (at least not those who should be dropping $200+ on a used phone).
