Huge Nexus and now Pixel fan. But I have to say, a day after the reviews are out, I'm a bit underwhelmed disappointed in from what I'm reading on the Pixel 6 Pro.
- Camera = The early buzz and hype was crazy for this upgraded camera. People expecting this to blow away the iPhone 13 Pro and Galaxy S21 series, and the Pixel 6 would be the top dog by a wide margin. Now we come to find out, not so quick. This new camera is just a bit better than the Pixel 5's, and trades blows back and forth with the iPhone 13 Pro. It's not some brand new mind blowing futuristic next gen camera.
- Battery life = A brand new custom chipset, and huge 5,000mAh battery with a variable refresh rate LPTO display, I thought this thing would get killer battery life, maybe not 13 Pro Max battery, but at least close. Now in reality we're finding out not at all, the battery life is just ok, not bad, certainly not great, just good battery life.
- Display = I wanted a Pixel screen that gets bright like a new iPhone or Galaxy phone display brightness, I never expected Google to be better, but at least on par. But nope, it's still behind both, I think the iPhone 13 Pro gets like 1100 peak brightness, and the Galaxy S21 like 1000, but the 6 Pro gets like 850. And people saying the 120hz display on the 13 Pro feels smoother and less laggy when fast scrolling compared to the 6 Pro's ( maybe it needs a driver update? )
I'm not trying to knock this new Pixel, I have one on order, but it's not this super duper smartphone from the future, leaving the iPhone and Galaxy in the dust, like it seemed it was going to be. It's actually just on par with them, or maybe even lesser. But personally dissapointed in two things, the mediocre battery life, and average brightness display.
