You're a funny guy! I was wondering why it was taking so long to install lol
for a 14 MB update it sure is taking a while to install
Quite a bit of dilemma for choosing headphone and In-ear TWS.
Which one should I go for P6 Pro please.
Received free Bose from Pre-order and just received XM4 for £80 discount.
Quite leaning to XM4 as LDAC supported.
Need to let go at least one ၊

Hard to explain, but to me the flat designed Pixel 6 seems more Google'ish if that makes sense? It follows the Pixel design of past devices but in a new cool way. Where the Pixel 6 Pro just seems like a Samsung Galaxy phone running a Pixel ROM. Like i said, I still have both phones, and I far prefer and like the regular Pixel 6 over the Pixel 6 Pro, it's easier to hold, the FLAT screen ten million times better than the dated curved edge display, and for some reason it seems the screen is a little bit brighter and has deeper blacks on the regular 6 than the 6 Pro, and using both phones exactly the same the battery life is better on the smaller 6, not by a lot, but in my experience it is like 10% to 15% better battery.
I will be selling my Cloudy White Pixel 6 Pro, once my cases come in for the Pixel 6, that have taken FOREVER. The first one due today, the X-Level.

It appears the update for the Pixel 6’s was to address the FPS.

Surprise Google Pixel 6 system update seems to improve the fingerprint scanner
Still slow, but a lot more consistent

Yeah, my claim went through around Nov 2nd 6am
Some are getting QC 45 and voucher which I think is more valued.
The screen on the regular six is definitely NOT brighter than the 6 pro. If there is one thing the 6 pro has over the 6 then its the screen quality. Brightness, clarity and deeper blacks. This is one of the main reasons I chose pro over the regular 6.
Yes indeed. The smaller phone with the flat edges keeps up with what Google has released previously, so I think you're right, it would feel a little bit more Pixel like .. but the back of both phones definitely screams Pixel all the way ...curve sides I don't find drastic IMO and definitely gives off Samsung vibes and some OnePlus which is a good thing ...how many people would sign up for a Samsung phone with Google Pixel running ..that's a dream scenario for those that love Android ...I've seen the screens side by side with friends I can't agree on that one ..I just think the Pro is just nicer to my eyes side by side and brighter ...all subjective...battery bc of 1080 running at 90HZ I would expect it to beat the Pro..
After the update the FPS is noticeably better for me!It appears the update for the Pixel 6’s was to address the FPS.

Not saying the 6 Pro is worse phone then the regular 6. No way.
The 6 Pro is a smoother more fluid faster feeling phone. The 120hz display for sure better.
I just prefer flat screens, and hate the curved edge displays like Samsung. I would never want a Samsung Galaxy phone running stock Android. That's a turn off to me.
But it's nice we have options. The 6 Pro is the premier flagship phone no doubt.

That's why it's Android and choices are good
.....I've owned a few Pixels in my time and enjoyed them all even with some hiccups on the way ..IMO this is the best Pixel to date but others will think differently.. ..and some don't like Samsung UI and I love what they offer and how it's evolved ...end of the day what makes ya happy and following this journey makes it overall the best thing about these releases ...and our discussions are quality around here with different opinions and great insight all around ...
I'd love how you put it. In android world, we have so much options to tailor our usage. One thing for sure, I can't live monotonous life.That's why it's Android and choices are good.....I've owned a few Pixels in my time and enjoyed them all even with some hiccups on the way ..IMO this is the best Pixel to date but others will think differently.. ..and some don't like Samsung UI and I love what they offer and how it's evolved ...end of the day what makes ya happy and following this journey makes it overall the best thing about these releases ...and our discussions are quality around here with different opinions and great insight all around ...
I am just drawing some line of old habit on rooting. Rooting will give me nightmare with current hectics work life style but there are loads of quality launchers and may be less adventure but yet still can play around.
Sigh, I am getting old to be honest

Never too old to keep the passion
..I've been down the root highway and sometimes get the itch for a few of those small extras but time and laziness has me content on making it work with what they offer us ..
Same. Rooting used to be fun. Now that I'm older and have kids, sports obligations, etc on top of work it just ain't worth the small gains in functionality or customization. Been years now since I have rooted a phone. Heck I don't even install launchers anymore. Now I just keep 3 or 4 phones around and switch my sim to suit my needs. I figure if there is something I need my phone to do, one of the 4 should be able to do that 😂Never too old to keep the passion..I've been down the root highway and sometimes get the itch for a few of those small extras but time and laziness has me content on making it work with what they offer us ..
We are in the same place .. sideloading an OTA is about the only thing I will do nowadays...another reason why I love Samsung with so many tweaks ..I don't have the same with this Pixel but I enjoy the Google extras in my daily usage ...get bored and swap sim to another phoneSame.

I always fancied a pair of proper noise cancelling headphones for flights etc. Now to decide if I have them now or save them as an Xmas pressie to myself!
Congrats 
those receiving their headphones 
..give us your thoughts once you get them tested ..

It seems after yesterday's update, the FPS has gotten a lot better.
Samsung really did a number on you, didn't they?
He is allowed to not like Samsung devices...
Hell, even I don't like anything other than their foldables. I know Tig Bitties mentions his disdain a lot more than others
, but he has his reasoning for not being a fan.Like I've never understood why people love their S21 Ultra's so much. My experience was terrible. Horses for courses.
You again, I thought I had you on ignore LOL. How did "Samsung do a number on me"? No, they just suck, and the only smartphone lines that matter are iPhone and Pixel, that's it. Apple's iOS and Google's stock Android ( the company that created the Android OS ). But that's only my opinion.
Samsung with their duplicate apps two of this and three of that, is just not needed, if Samsung uses Android for their OS stick with Google stock apps for the clock or calendar and whatnot. And then bloatware apps like DirectTV that you can't delete. Or gimmicks like curved edge displays.
Samsung should just run their own OS not Android like they've been talking about for years. But I know I'm in the extreme minority, and obviously tens of millions love Samsung.

I just never understand the duplicate app argument. Yes, I agree. You should be able to delete any app you wish, but simply all you need to do is hide the apps and use whatever you want. They do no harm on the phone and a lot of people like their apps like the internet for Samsung and they use their messages app too. I don't, but I never found any of those apps to bother me at all or compromise my storage capacity. I just hide them.. again, everyone has their own opinion so I respect.. I've never kept DirecTV on any unlocked Samsung phone, but I'm not sure if that's a carrier add-on..everyone made fun of Samsung for the Note but they elevated the game with that series ...Folds are trending in the proper direction ...again my opinions...S series will now be new Note ..This is not the TouchWiz days ..I don't see much complaints of peeps wanting to delete Safari on iphone but it's the same thing each has something you want to delete ....it took awhile to get another browser as default action on iOS ..
