Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who told me it was wear and tear initially. I made it quite clear i wasnt accepting that and there wasnt even any way that internal adhesive failing would be wear and tear, never mind battery expansion. They agreed to replace it with a refurb as a goodwill gesture, how very nice of them. I upgraded the same day to a S23 Ultra and have sold the refurb to a reseller.

    I have a 6 Pro.

    The brightness adjustment sucks, basically 50% of the slider does nothing. Also randomly dims at top brightness and won’t let me go back to max brightness manually.

    Fingerprint sensor is complete and total shit. I maybe get 10% success rate unlocking phone, while app fingerprint unlock is at 80% success.

    Google disabled the HDMI out for no reason other than they want you to use Chromecast.

    Battery is good and wireless charging is good with a branded Google wireless charger, pathetic with any aftermarket wireless charger.

    Not major issues but the brightness and fingerprint issues are an annoyance several times a day and it just builds up, you know?

    I get all the updates and the Google specific features are great. Camera is fine. Works well with Mint Mobile. I get good 5G in my area where I didn’t get good reception on my last phone with same service.

    I would probably go back to OnePlus or try NothingPhone, wouldn’t do a Pixel again.

      Ouch. I’m not surprised though. The 6 sounded like a total mess when I was researching for a phone replacement recently. Why they got rid of the back fingerprint sensor or didn’t go with the better type of sensor is beyond me.
