Google Pixel 6 review: Strong smartphone with long update cycle

[Redaktion]

With the Pixel 6, Google positions its flagship smartphone in the premium segment again; not only does it provide it with a unique design, but also with a completely redesigned camera setup, the first in-house chipset, and an enormously long update promise.

I wish they would certificate 5g here in Poland.

I've been using it and thoroughly enjoy it. I thought the screen would be too big, but it turned out alright for me. The camera is fantastic IMO.

There are cons though, as mentioned in the review. The battery life... is mediocre. The overheating... is sometimes annoying. The Tensor chip ultimately turned out to just be a repackaged Exynos, and isn't flagship grade.

Despite all the downsides... It's a $600 phone that has 5 years of security updates! In terms of price per year of usage, that's an amazing $120. Compare to Samsung, where the updates only last for 3 years.

The iPhone beats this one handily at everything except back camera, where IMO the Pixel wins. But the price doubles once you go to Apple.

Will you do a review of the Pixel 6 Pro? I would like to know the pwm on that model.

Does the Battery Saving mode restricts the SoC and graphics productivity?

Although it was definitely true, now as the Galaxy A53 5G came out (not that long ago) it's not anymore. It has 5 years of security update and 4 major version of Android, so I'm definitely considering it alongside of Pixel 6a, especially as it's cheaper and has more breath in it (batter).
