I would predict the Pixel 6 Pro will go down as the number one android phone of 2021.

But that’s not hard to do the competition is pretty sad there’s only Scamdung with thier TouchJizz UI, and OneMinus phones.

Anything legitimate you post is washed away when you use ridiculous nicknames for Samsung and OnePlus. Just a helpful tip. Do what you will with it.

LOL, wow people can't take a joke or sarcasm.

Lighten up people, life's too short to be so serious. We're only talking about cell phones here, not heart surgery.

Didn't realize this forum was so uptight and straight-laced.

Lol don't try and pull this bail out. You make these comments all the time. I was trying to give you some friendly advice that it makes you come off as childish despite having some good contributions to make.

"Bail out" What?

You guys are seriously offended by some silly comments I made? Really?

Wow I pegged this forum all wrong I guess. this is a super serious, no joking around, no sarcasm allowed forum? Just stay laser focused on smartphones only, and keep it professional 24/7.

I never expected to get my stones busted so hard here for making a goofy comment.

I'm out then, nice knowing ya all. Going back to [H]ard Forum, Reddit, and XDA where it's a more free and not so strict and super serious.

It’s like this on any phone thread but it will turn to bashing and loving more abruptly once it’s released. I have a love hate relationship with both iOS and android but with the pixel 6 pro I’m intrigued by their in house chip and how it performs. But my heart will probably topple over the pixel fold if it’s truly coming out this year and google doesn’t side step on features etc. I know it’s googles first attempt at a foldable but they’ve learned from the best and they are really good at software optimization. Exciting times all around

Jeez I go out to dinner and what happens? Tig’s been here forever and he loves taking the p out of Samsung but as a Samsung fan girl I know he is just talking smack for fun and always does so. Yeah he doesn’t like Samsung but he’s the first to be happy when we get what we like. Or has always been supportive of me anyway.

And this is the Pixel thread so I expect some smack talk about the other phones here. We can smack him upside the head if he trash talks my S21 Ultra on the Samsung threads. I just ate some chocolate cake that’s almost pure chocolate so I’m hyper so watch out y’all!

You are being really dramatic.

Common on now let's stop the drama... We can keep this thread going nicely...

So the size difference between S21 Ultra and Pixel 6 Pro is almost identical... Still I feel they should have a smaller pixel 6..

I completely agree it would have been nice if the 6 had been a much more noticeably smaller size. Lol it’s still a large phone. It’s like standing someone who is 6’2 next to someone who is 6’7 and calling them “shorty” to keep referring to the regular 6 as the smaller phone. It is smaller than the Pro, but it’s not small!

Also I’m not personally thrilled to have the existing size difference also denote the whole pro vs non pro delineation.

But I suppose their current strategy is sound for this year. I hope it’s a fantastic and successful comeback for them into the flagship phone arena.

Haha for sure.. Small phone 6.2 screen... They should have done pixel 5 size with specs.. That be a winner for plenty of folks.... I'm still debating if I want a slab lol... I want this phone to hit it out the park...

It sounds like the regular 6 will be excluded from quite a bit. Not just camera-wise, but when taking all the rumors and leaks in aggregate. I hope there’s not as much differentiation as I’ve seen implied.
I'm thinking the same... Let's see where them prices come in...

Idk it’s too shiny/reflective
I'm thinking the lighter colors will show less reflection.. But a case or skin will take care of it... With that camera bump I don't see using a skin though..
Does seem like for those with kids pixel will be able to just remove any blur at all. Skin tones will be more natural and overall will be very impressive. Just need them to announce and do the event.
I expect it to claim the camera title again... anything less will be unacceptable haha
 
Lol I am checking out Pixel news while waiting for my 13 Pro.

It’s a bit of a bummer but I don’t really want to give up the non Pro. The more I check things out that’s where all the features and perks I want to test out are going to be. It would mean I should trade in the S21 Ultra I don’t really want to give up yet. So I would definitely have to wait and see the reviews, user impressions, etc.

But with me getting rid of the 12 Pro max and using smaller and even mini iPhones having the super gigantic Android in my lineup makes sense. It just doesn’t make sense having two of them.

The modem is going to have to be good. I don’t currently have my SIM card in my S21 Ultra, but I know when I put it in there, the connection is going to be good and clear. I’ve never yet had an Android phone perform poorly as a phone. With Apple it’s the opposite and they’ve been like tin cans on a string for me on AT&T where I live, until they got Qualcomm modems in them. And even then Apple must have bid cheap on something because the calls still don’t sound as crystal clear as on my Android phones. Even my now old Pixel 2 and really old HTC 10 often sound better. Before anyone jumps on me, I’m saying it’s just where I live and the routes I drive, with the carrier service I’ve got. I know other people get different results.

I agree with the people saying Google should have presented this before or just after the iPhone 13 announcement, what a missed opportunity.

Agreed. But there has been so many leaks about the specs and we already know what the freaking thing looks like they might as well just do a store refresh now and sell the damn thing already.
